A note on Frobenius-Eilenberg-Moore objects in dagger 2-categories. (English) Zbl 1473.18002

Dagger Frobenius monads and categories of Frobenius-Eilenberg-Moore algebras for such monads were first considered in [C. Heunen and M. Karvonen, Theory Appl. Categ. 31, 1016–1043 (2016; Zbl 1378.18003); Electron. Notes Theor. Comput. Sci. 319, 217–237 (2015; Zbl 1351.68100)], where it was shown that they include the important examaple of quantum measurements. This paper pursues a formal theory of dagger Frobenius monads in the spirit of [R. Street, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 2, 149–168 (1972; Zbl 0241.18003); S. Lack and R. Street, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 175, No. 1–3, 243–265 (2002; Zbl 1019.18002)]. It is shown that the free completion of a \(2\)-category under Eilenberg-Moore objects extends to the dagger context, provided one is ready to work with those dagger Frobenius monads for which the endofunctor suitably commutes with the unit. Defining dagger lax functors and dagger lax-limits of such functors, the author demonstrates that Frobenius-Eilenberg-Moore objects are examples of such limits.
