Write the adjunction unit as and the adjunction counit as . Define the monad induced by an adjunction by
with unit . Naturality of makes a natural transformation.
The triangle identities for an adjunction give the two unit laws:
For associativity, apply naturality of to the arrow in :
Applying yields
Thus the induced data satisfy all the monad laws, rather than merely supplying an endofunctor and two transformations.
