The Monadic Tower for -Categories
arXiv:2104.01816
Abstract
Every right adjoint functor between presentable -categories is shown to decompose canonically as a coreflection, followed by, possibly transfinitely many, monadic functors. Furthermore, the coreflection part is given a presentation in terms of a functorial iterated colimit. Background material, examples, and the relation to homology localization and completion are discussed as well.
