Extensions in the theory of lax algebras.
We define varieties of algebras for an arbitrary endofunctor on a cocomplete category using pairs of natural transformations. This approach is proved to be equivalent to one of equational classes defined by equation arrows. Free algebras in the varieties are investigated and their existence is proved under the assumptions of accessibility.
Hopf-Galois extensions for monoidal Hom-Hopf algebras are investigated. As the main result, Schneider's affineness theorem in the case of monoidal Hom-Hopf algebras is shown in terms of total integrals and Hopf-Galois extensions. In addition, we obtain an affineness criterion for relative Hom-Hopf modules which is associated with faithfully flat Hopf-Galois extensions of monoidal Hom-Hopf algebras.
We describe the place, among other known categorical constructions, of the internal object actions involved in the categorical notion of semidirect product, and introduce a new notion of representable action providing a common categorical description for the automorphism group of a group, for the algebra of derivations of a Lie algebra, and for the actor of a crossed module.
It is proved that there exists no extension of any non-trivial weakly normal functor of finite degree onto the Kleisli category of the inclusion hyperspace monad.
The problem of extension of normal functors to the Kleisli categories of the inclusion hyperspace monad and its submonads is considered. Some negative results are obtained.
