Retrocells
Abstract
The notion of retrocell in a double category with companions is introduced and its basic properties established. Explicit descriptions in some of the usual double categories are given. Monads in a double category provide an important example where retrocells arise naturally. Cofunctors appear as a special case. The motivating example of vertically closed double categories is treated in some detail.
