Codescent and bicolimits of pseudo-algebras. (English) Zbl 07833143

This paper establishes the bicocompleteness of 2-categories of pseudo-algebras of bifinitary pseudomonads.
The synopsis of the paper goes as follows.
§ 1
shows that so-called \(\sigma\)-bicolimits can be reconstructed in any category from oplax bicolimits and bicoequalizers of codescent objects, which is a generalization of an observation that in \(\boldsymbol{Cat}\), \(\sigma\)-bicolimits are obtained as localizations of oplax colimit, which in turn can be obtained as bicoequalizers of codescent objects.
§ 2
recalls some elements of pseudomonad theory [F. L. Nunes, “Pseudomonads and Descent, PhD Thesis (Chapter 1)”, Preprint, arXiv:1802.01767], particularly the 2-dimensional bar construction [I. J. Le Creurer et al., J. Pure Appl. Algebra 173, No. 3, 293–313 (2002; Zbl 1003.18007)].
§ 3
establishes the 2-dimensional analogue of Linton theorem of monad theory [F. E. J. Linton, Lect. Notes Math. 80, 75–90 (1969; Zbl 0181.02902)] claiming that bicocompleteness of 2-categories of pseudo-algebras is tanamount to existence of bicoequalizers of codescent objects.
§ 4
comes to the main result of the paper claiming the bicocompleteness of 2-categories of pseudo-algebras of bifinitary pseudomonads.
