Polynomial monads as fibred PROPs

Richard Garnerยท29 August 2018

We explain how polynomial monads on a category E can be represented as certain fibrations-with-structure over E which we term fibred PROPs. We also explain how this leads to semantics in non-cartesian settings such as the semantics for (finitary) polynomial monads on Set in symmetric monoidal categories. As is customary, the real explanation for all of this involves a non-standard enrichment.
