 Solution

A monad $\mathbb{T}=(T,\eta ,\mu )$ consists of an endofunctor $T:\mathcal{C}\to \mathcal{C}$ and natural transformations $\eta :1_{\mathcal{C}}\Rightarrow T$ and $\mu :T^2\Rightarrow T$ satisfyingAn algebra for a monad is $(A,a)$ with $a:TA\to A$ satisfying $a{\eta }_A=1_A$ and $a{\mu }_A=aT(a)$. A morphism of algebras for a monad $h:(A,a)\to (B,b)$ obeys $ha=bT(h)$. The functor laws show that identities and composites obey this equation, giving the Eilenberg-Moore category ${\mathcal{C}}^{\mathbb{T}}$.

For an adjunction $F⊣G$, let $\eta$ be its adjunction unit and $\epsilon$ its adjunction counit. The monad induced by an adjunction isThe two unit laws are $G{\epsilon }_{FA}{\eta }_{GFA}=1_{GFA}$ and $G({\epsilon }_{FA}F{\eta }_A)=1_{GFA}$, respectively the two triangle identities for an adjunction.

For associativity, naturality of the adjunction counit at ${\epsilon }_{FA}:FGFA\to FA$ saysApply $G$ to obtain ${\mu }_A{\mu }_{TA}={\mu }_{A}T{\mu }_A$. The composites defining $\eta$ and $\mu$ are natural transformations, so all monad axioms have been checked, not only their underlying objectwise types.
