A monad on consists of an endofunctor and natural transformations , satisfying the unit and multiplication of a monad lawsAn algebra for a monad is an object equipped with such thatA morphism of algebras for a monad is a morphism satisfying . Identities and composition obey this equation, giving the Eilenberg-Moore category and its forgetful functor .
For an adjunction with induced monad , the Eilenberg-Moore comparison functor isThe functor is monadic when it has such a left adjoint and this comparison is an equivalence of categories; a stricter convention requires an isomorphism of categories over . We will identify which limit-lifting conclusion each convention supports in part (iii).
