The Eilenberg–Moore category as a displayed category

Fix a monad (𝑇,𝜂,𝜇) on 𝒞︀. Its Eilenberg–Moore category arises in two displayed layers. The first layer is the displayed category of algebras AlgStr(𝑇) of the underlying endofunctor.

The second layer, EMStr(𝑇), is displayed over the total category Alg(𝑇). Over an algebra (𝑥,𝛼) the displayed objects are the propositions that 𝛼 satisfies the monad algebra laws:

𝜂𝑥⋆𝛼=𝗂𝖽𝑥𝜇𝑥⋆𝛼=𝑇𝛼⋆𝛼.

The Eilenberg–Moore category is the total category of the tower:

EM(𝑇)=∫EMStr(𝑇).
