Linear Distributivity With Negation, Star-Autonomy, and Hopf Monads

Masahito Hasegawa and Jean-Simon P. Lemay

We show that a Hopf monad on a *-autonomous category lifts *-autonomous structure to the category of algebras precisely when there is an algebra structure on the dualizing object. Our proof is based on Pastro's characterization of *-autonomous (co)monads as linearly distributive (co)monads with negation.

Keywords: monoidal categories, linearly distributive categories, $*$-autonomous categories, comonoidal monads, Hopf monads
