Reflexive free-algebra presentation of a monad algebra

ID: reflexive-free-algebra-presentation-of-a-monad-algebra

Every algebra for a monad is the coequalizer, in the Eilenberg-Moore category, of with underlying arrows and , followed by . The pair has common section . If an algebra morphism equalizes the pair, the unique induced algebra morphism is . This explicit proof does not require general colimits of algebras.
