The sub algebra functor Sub A is faithful for Boolean algebras (Sub A •Sub B implies A • B, see D. Sachs [7] ), but it is not faithful for bounded distributive lattices or unbounded distributive lattices. The automorphism functor Aut A is highly unfaithful even for Boolean algebras. The endomorphism functor End A is the most faithful of all three. B. M. Schein [8] and K. D.' Magill [5] establis...

Distributive laws of a monad T over a functor F are categorical tools for specifying algebra-coalgebra interaction. They proved to be important for solving systems of corecursive equations, for the specification of well-behaved structural operational semantics and, more recently, also for enhancements of the bisimulation proof method. If T is a free monad, then such distributive laws correspond...

A PROP is a way of encoding structure borne by an object of a symmetric monoidal category. We describe a notion of distributive law for PROPs, based on Beck’s distributive laws for monads. A distributive law between PROPs allows them to be composed, and an algebra for the composite PROP consists of a single object with an algebra structure for each of the original PROPs, subject to compatibilit...
