• Mixed Associators.

    be a natural transformation.

    1. If there exists a natural transformation
      \[ \alpha ^{\otimes }_{A,B,C}\colon \webleft (A\otimes _{\mathcal{C}}B\webright )\boxtimes _{\mathcal{C}}C\to A\otimes _{\mathcal{C}}\webleft (B\boxtimes _{\mathcal{C}}C\webright ) \]

      and

      commute, then the natural transformation $\text{id}^{\otimes }$ satisfies the monoidality condition of Item 2 of Remark 10.1.1.1.3.

    2. If there exists a natural transformation
      \[ \alpha ^{\boxtimes }_{A,B,C}\colon \webleft (A\boxtimes _{\mathcal{C}}B\webright )\otimes _{\mathcal{C}}C\to A\boxtimes _{\mathcal{C}}\webleft (B\otimes _{\mathcal{C}}C\webright ) \]

      making the diagrams

      and

      commute, then the natural transformation $\text{id}^{\otimes }$ satisfies the monoidality condition of Item 2 of Remark 10.1.1.1.3.

    3. If there exists a natural transformation
      \[ \alpha ^{\boxtimes ,\otimes }_{A,B,C}\colon \webleft (A\boxtimes _{\mathcal{C}}B\webright )\otimes _{\mathcal{C}}C\to A\otimes _{\mathcal{C}}\webleft (B\boxtimes _{\mathcal{C}}C\webright ) \]
