FREE MONOID IN MONOIDAL ABELIAN CATEGORIES

Description

FREE MONOID IN MONOIDAL ABELIAN CATEGORIES BRUNO VALLETTE Abstract. We give an explicit construction of the free monoid in monoidal abelian categories when the monoidal product does not necessarily preserve coproducts. Then we apply it to several new monoidal categories that appeared recently in the theory of Koszul duality for operads and props. This gives a conceptual explanation of the form of the free operad, free dioperad and free properad. Contents Introduction 1 1. Conventions 2 2. Reflexive coequalizers 4 3.

In a monoidal category with denumer- able coproducts, when the monoidal product preserves coproducts, the free monoid on an object V is well understood and is given by the words with letters in V (see [MacL1] Chapter VII Section 3 Theorem 2). In general, the existence of the free monoid has been established, under some hypotheses, by M. Barr in [B]. When the monoidal product preserves colimits over the simplicial category, E. Dubuc de- scribed in [D] a construction for the free monoid.
