A monad on consists of an endofunctor and natural transformations , satisfying, at every object ,
These are the associativity and unit laws. An algebra for a monad is with
A monad algebra morphism is a morphism satisfying . Identity morphisms satisfy this equation, and if satisfy it, then . Hence these objects and morphisms form the Eilenberg-Moore category , with the forgetful functor and .
