Abstract

We construct free monoids in a monoidal category [InlineMediaObject not available: See fulltext.] with finite limits and countable colimits, in which tensoring on either side preserves reflexive coequalizers and colimits of countable chains. In particular this will be the case if tensoring preserves sifted colimits.
