Idempotence for relative monads

arXiv:2508.17794

Abstract

We study the concept of idempotence for relative monads, which exhibits several subtleties not present for non-relative monads. In particular, there is a bifurcation of notions of idempotence in the relative setting, which are indistinguishable for idempotent monads. As a special case, we obtain several characterisations of idempotence for monads in extension form.
