Comonads in a bicategory #
We define comonads in a bicategory B as comonoid objects in an endomorphism monoidal category.
We show that this is equivalent to oplax functors from the trivial bicategory to B. From this,
we show that comonads in B form a bicategory.
TODO #
We can also define monads in a bicategory. This is not yet done as we don't have the bicategory structure on the set of lax functors at this point, which is needed to show that monads form a bicategory.
A comonad in a bicategory B is a 1-morphism t : a ⟶ a together with 2-morphisms
Δ : t ⟶ t ≫ t and ε : t ⟶ 𝟙 a satisfying the comonad laws.
