Enriched Kleisli objects for pseudomonads

Abstract

A pseudomonad on a 22-category whose underlying endomorphism is a 22-functor can be seen as a diagram PsmndGray\mathbf{Psmnd} \rightarrow \mathbf{Gray} for which weighted limits and colimits can be considered. The 22-category of pseudoalgebras, pseudomorphisms and 22-cells is such a Gray\mathbf{Gray}-enriched weighted limit \cite{Coherent Approach to Pseudomonads}, however neither the Kleisli bicategory nor the 22-category of free pseudoalgebras are the analogous weighted colimit \cite{Formal Theory of Pseudomonads}. In this paper we describe the actual weighted colimit via a presentation, and show that the comparison 22-functor induced by any other pseudoadjunction splitting the original pseudomonad is bi-fully faithful. As a consequence, we see that biessential surjectivity on objects characterises left pseudoadjoints whose codomains have an `up to biequivalence' version of the universal property for Kleisli objects. This motivates a homotopical study of Kleisli objects for pseudomonads, and to this end we show that the weight for Kleisli objects is cofibrant in the projective model structure on [Psmndop,Gray][\mathbf{Psmnd}^\text{op}, \mathbf{Gray}].
