Monoidal Adjunctions - Linearity and Duality
Abstract
We explain two related constructions on the data of two monoidal symmetric closed categories and and monoidal functors and . In a first part, we recall and partly extend work of A. Kock: In case is left-adjoint to , and this adjunction is monoidal, we can equip the Eilenberg-Moore category for being the canonical monad associated to the adjunction, with the structure of symmetric monoidal closed category, provided has equalizers and co-equalizers. In a second part, inspired by the Chu-construction, we build a category , which is symmetric monoidal closed as well, under the condition that has pullbacks. Similarly we build a category which is symmetric monoidal closed under the condition that has what we call -pushouts and -pullbacks. In case is a monoidal adjunction, we show that and are isomorphic as symmetric monoidal closed categories. We show also how is related to both.
