Distributive Adjoint Strings
Theory and applications of categories, Tome 1 (1995), pp. 119-145
For an adjoint string V -| W -| X -| Y : B --> C, with Y fully faithful, it is frequently, but not always, the case that the composite VY underlies an idempotent monad. When it does, we call the string distributive. We also study shorter and longer `distributive' adjoint strings and how to generate them. These provide a new construction of the simplicial 2-category, Delta.
