In the first part of this paper we study fibrations of $(\infty,2)$-categories. We give a simple characterization of such fibrations in terms of a certain square being a pullback, and apply this to show that in some cases…

The well-known calculus of fractions of Gabriel and Zisman provides a convenient way to formally invert morphisms in a category. This was generalised to bicategories by Pronk. We extend these constructions by presenting a calculus of lax…

Given a locally presentable enriched category $\mathcal{E}$ together with a small dense full subcategory $\mathcal A$ of arities, we study the relationship between monads on $\mathcal E$ and identity-on-objects functors out of $\mathcal A$,…

Given a double category D such that D_0 has pushouts, we characterize oplax/lax adjunctions between D and Cospan(D_0) such that the right adjoint is normal and restricts to the identity on D_0, where Cospan(D_0) denotes the double category…

Bilinear maps and their classifying tensor products are well-known in the theory of linear algebra, and their generalization to algebras of commutative monads is a classical result of monad theory. Motivated by constructions needed in…

Given a monoidal adjunction, we show that the right adjoint induces a braided lax monoidal functor between the corresponding Drinfeld centers provided that certain natural transformations, called projection formula morphisms, are…

In this article, we characterize convexity in terms of algebras over a PROP, and establish a tensor-product-like symmetric monoidal structure on the category of convex sets. Using these two structures, and the theory of $\scr{O}$-monoidal…

This paper studies convex sets categorically, namely as algebras of a distribution monad. It is shown that convex sets occur in two dual adjunctions, namely one with preframes via the Boolean truth values {0,1} as dualising object, and one…

In this work, we study 'reduction monads', which are essentially the same as monads relative to the free functor from sets into multigraphs. Reduction monads account for two aspects of the lambda calculus: on the one hand, in the monadic…

Riehl and Verity have introduced an "$\infty$-cosmic" framework in which they redevelop the category theory of $\infty$-categories using 2-categorical arguments. In this paper, we begin with a self-contained review of the parts of their…

We introduce pseudoalgebras for relative pseudomonads and develop their theory. For each relative pseudomonad $T$, we construct a free--forgetful relative pseudoadjunction that exhibits the bicategory of $T$-pseudoalgebras as terminal among…

We give a definition of weak morphism of $T$-algebras, for a $2$-monad $T$, with respect to an arbitrary family $\Omega$ of $2$-cells of the base $2$-category. By considering particular choices of $\Omega$, we recover the concepts of lax,…

We introduce a notion of parity for formal morphisms between invertible objects and use it to prove a corresponding coherence theorem. Parity is conceptually similar to the sign of underlying permutations, but not defined as such. To give…

In this article Hopf parametric adjunctions are defined and analysed within the context of the 2-adjunction of the type $\mathbf{Adj}$-$\mathbf{Mnd}$. In order to do so, the definition of adjoint objects in the 2-category of adjunctions and…

We construct a `weak' version EM^w(K) of Lack & Street's 2-category of monads in a 2-category K, by replacing their compatibility constraint of 1-cells with the units of monads by an additional condition on the 2-cells. A relation between…

A Hopf monad, in the sense of Brugui\`eres, Lack, and Virelizier, is a special kind of monad that can be defined for any monoidal category. In this note, we study Hopf monads in the case of a category with finite biproducts, seen as a…
