Colimits of monoids

Category Theory 2018-07-03 v1

Abstract

If C\mathcal{C} is a cocomplete monoidal category in which tensoring from both sides preserves coequalizers, then the category of monoids over C\mathcal{C} is cocomplete. The same holds if C\mathcal{C} has regular factorizations and tensoring only preserves regular epimorphisms. As an application a lifting theorem for an adjunction with a monoidal right adjoint to an adjunction between the respective categories of monoids is proved.
