Towards free localic algebras by Nathan Tshakatumba, Partha Pratim Ghosh, Inderasan Naidoo

“…We show that for a small complete category witha well behaved proper factorisation structure, the underlying functor admitsa left adjoint and the category of such models is precisely monadic over thebase category in the sense of Beck’s Theorem. In particular, this establishesthe existence of free localic algebras for any Lawvere theory, generalising theknown results for the existence of free localic groups.…”
