Cartesian monoid

A Cartesian monoid is a monoid, with additional structure of pairing and projection operators. It was first formulated by Dana Scott and Joachim Lambek independently.^[1]

Definition

A Cartesian monoid is a structure with signature $\langle *,e,(-,-),L,R\rangle$ where $*$ and $(-,-)$ are binary operations, $L,R$ , and $e$ are constants satisfying the following axioms for all $x,y,z$ in its universe:

Monoid: $*$ is a monoid with identity $e$
Left Projection: $L*(x,\,y)=x$
Right Projection: $R*(x,\,y)=y$
Surjective Pairing: $(L*x,\,R*x)=x$
Right Homogeneity: $(x*z,\,y*z)=(x,\,y)*z$

The interpretation is that $L$ and $R$ are left and right projection functions respectively for the pairing function $(-,-)$ .
