Opmonoidal monads

Paddy McCrudden

Hopf monads are identified with monads in the 2-category Opmon of monoidal categories, opmonoidal functors and transformations. Using Eilenberg-Moore objects, it is shown that for a Hopf monad $S$, the categories Alg(Coalg($S$)) and Coalg(Alg($S$)) are canonically isomorphic. The monadic arrows Opmon are then characterized. Finally, the theory of multicategories and a generalization of structure and semantics are used to identify the categories of algebras of Hopf monads.

Keywords: Hopf Monad, Eilenberg Moore Algebras, Multicategories, Structure and Semantics.
