Re: Looking for results on preservation of 2-coproducts

[RJ Wood]

Hi
``Cartesian bicategories II'' by A. Carboni, G.M. Kelly, R.F.C. Walters,
and R.J. Wood in TAC Vol. 19, 2008, No. 6, pp 93-124, gives the details
showing that a bicategory with bicategorical finite products has a
canonical symmetric monoidal structure. (This is used there to show that
a cartesian bicategory also has a canonical symmetric monoidal structure.)

Looking for results on preservation of 2-coproducts

[Jamie Vicary]

Dear all,

I'm interested in finding some results in the literature on bicategories
with 2-coproducts. In particular, I'm interested in the symmetric
2-monoidal structure induced by 2-coproducts, the essentially unique
symmetric pseudomonoid structure on each object with respect to this
2-monoidal structure, and preservation of all the above structures by left
adjoint 2-functors.

I think I could work through this myself if I had to, but I'd prefer to
just cite someone else's work if I can. Perhaps this has been worked out in
a thesis somewhere?

Cheers,
Jamie.
