Subject: Kleisli and colimits
Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 15:31:08 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E14sQJw-00034c-00@plover.dpmms.cam.ac.uk> (raw)


Does anyone know if the Kleisli construction (sending a monad to its Kleisli
category) behaves in any decent way with respect to colimits?  E.g. does it
in any sense preserve or reflect them?

The actual situation that I have is a fixed category C, and a certain
coequalizer diagram in the category of monads on C.  The resulting fork in
Cat is also a coequalizer, and the proofs that both diagrams are coequalizers
have some ingredients in common, but I can't at present see how to deduce one
from the other.  

Thanks,

Tom Leinster
