For inducing , the Kleisli comparison functor is always full and faithful, since the adjunction gives
Therefore it is part of an equivalence of categories if and only if every object of is isomorphic to for some .
For an idempotent monad, multiplication is invertible. The unit laws imply . If is an algebra for a monad, then , while naturality of gives
Thus is an isomorphism with inverse . The algebra law says that is a morphism of algebras for a monad from the free algebra to , so every object of the Eilenberg-Moore category is isomorphic to a free algebra. The criterion above yields
