How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
The Kleisli adjunction for the maybe monad is monadic but not strictly monadic
Example
For the maybe monad on , the comparison from its Kleisli category to its Eilenberg–Moore category is an equivalence but not an isomorphism under the fixed concrete coproduct encoding. Hence the Kleisli right adjoint is monadic but not strictly monadic.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The maybe monad with unit the inclusion and multiplication collapsing either occurrence of .
A Kleisli arrow is an ordinary map (Kleisli category of a monad).
An equivalence consists of quasi-inverse functors and natural isomorphisms between their composites and the identity functors (Equivalence, quasi-inverse, and adjoint equivalence of categories).
An isomorphism of categories is bijective on objects and morphisms (A functor is an isomorphism of categories exactly when its object and morphism maps are bijective).
A right adjoint with induced monad is monadic when its comparison functor is an equivalence of categories, and strictly monadic when is an isomorphism of categories (Monadic and strictly monadic functors).
The comparison functor is the unique with , and , namely and (The comparison functor to the Eilenberg–Moore category exists and is unique).
For a monad on there is an adjunction whose induced monad is on the nose (The Kleisli adjunction induces the given monad).
For a monad on the canonical comparison sends to the free algebra and is fully faithful, and its strict image is exactly the full subcategory of free -algebras (The comparison from the Kleisli category is fully faithful with image the free algebras).
Verification
A map is a partial function from to , with marking undefined values, so [L1] identifies the Kleisli category with sets and partial functions.
A maybe-monad algebra chooses a point as the value of and fixes every by the unit law; the multiplication law adds no further data. Algebra homomorphisms are precisely basepoint-preserving maps, so the Eilenberg–Moore category is the category of pointed sets.
By [L6] the Kleisli adjunction induces the maybe monad on the nose, so [L5] applies to it and its comparison is the canonical one of [L7]. That comparison sends a Kleisli object to the free algebra , which step 1.2 identifies with the free pointed set based at , and sends a Kleisli arrow to its underlying function. A quasi-inverse sends a pointed set to ; adjoining and deleting the basepoint give the natural isomorphisms required by [L2], including the empty Kleisli object and the one-point algebra.
Thus the comparison is an equivalence, and by [L6] the Kleisli right adjoint induces the maybe monad, so it is monadic by [L4].
By [L7] the strict image of the comparison is the full subcategory of free algebras. Under the fixed tagged-coproduct encoding, the pointed singleton is isomorphic to but not literally equal to the free pointed set on the empty set, whose point is the distinguished tag , so it is not in that image. The comparison is therefore not surjective on objects and is not an isomorphism by [L3], so strict monadicity fails by [L4].
