Calcul des relations inverses
We exhibit a monoidal structure on the category of finite sets indexed by P-trees for a finitary polynomial endofunctor P. This structure categorifies the monoid scheme (over Spec ℕ) whose semiring of functions is (a P-version of) the Connes-Kreimer bialgebra H of rooted trees (a Hopf algebra after base change to ℤ and collapsing H 0). The monoidal structure is itself given by a polynomial functor, represented by three easily described set maps; we show that these maps are the same as those occurring...
The question of how to combine monads arises naturally in many areas with much recent interest focusing on the coproduct of two monads. In general, the coproduct of arbitrary monads does not always exist. Although a rather general construction was given by Kelly [Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 22 (1980) 1–83], its generality is reflected in its complexity which limits the applicability of this construction. Following our own research [C. Lüth and N. Ghani, Lect. Notes Artif. Intell. 2309 (2002) 18–32],...
