Topic: Some Parameterized Categorical Structures


view this post on Zulip Chad Nester (Feb 18 2025 at 09:55):

Does anyone have a copy of or have access to the paper:
"Some Parameterized Categorical Structures" by Schumacher and Street, 1988
or, failing that, does anyone know what it contains?

In particular, I'm wondering if it discusses the way one can view distributive coproducts as a sort of "parameterized coproduct". This seems to be pretty widely understood in (at least, parts of) the literature, and I'd like to know if it comes from somewhere specific or if it's more of a folklore thing.
