Abstract
We introduce the notion of a distributive law between a relative monad and a monad. We call this a relative distributive law and define it in any 2-category . In order to do that, we introduce the 2-category of relative monads in a 2-category with relative monad morphisms and relative monad transformations as 1- and 2-cells, respectively. We relate our definition to the 2-category of monads in defined by Street. Thanks to this view we prove two Beck-type theorems regarding relative distributive laws. We also describe what does it mean to have Eilenberg-Moore and Kleisli objects in this context and give examples in the 2-category of locally small categories.
