Talk:Strong monad

The notation $$\gamma_{A, B}$$ is not explained. I think it should be explained as the linked page symmetric monoidal category uses a different notation.Bandanna (talk) 11:36, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't know how to generate a diagram in png, but the first one should be corrected. There is \lambda_A but should be \lambda_{T A}. -- Good point. I have corrected this mistake.--IkamusumeFan (talk) 08:06, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

What are strong monads good for? This article doesn't say. Please, someone, give a theorem that justifies the definition. John Baez (talk) 12:00, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

I concur, should add something about how strong monads are strong lax monoidal functors wrt cartesian product, providing the appropriate tensorial strength, and so lead to a popular belief (in comp sci) that all monads are "applicative functors" (see, e.g. strictlypositive.org/IdiomLite.pdf Vlad Patryshev (talk) 01:50, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Diagram Simplification
For any commutative strong monad, the following two diagrams are essentially the same.

 * [[Image:Strong monad commutation.png]]

The first diagram implies the second, but the second does not imply the first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.3.145.109 (talk) 01:20, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

It was my fault. They are not identical indeed. --IkamusumeFan (talk) 20:42, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Commutative strong monad
I think the diagram for the commutativity is false. See http://home.math.au.dk/kock/MSMCC.pdf definition 3.1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barth Shiki (talk • contribs) 12:31, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

OK I didn't see the discussion above. As it is said the two are not equivalent and the previous version was the original definition. Besides, with the current definition, the remark on symmetric monoidal monads seems doubtful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barth Shiki (talk • contribs) 19:21, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

I have corrected the error. Also a paper has been found to support the points. --IkamusumeFan (talk) 20:42, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
