Natural Associativity without the Pentagon condition
W. P. Joyce
Abstract
A premonoidal category is equipped only with a bifunctor and a natural isomorphism for associativity. We introduce a (deformation) natural automorphism representing the deviation from the Pentagon condition. We uncover a binary tree representation for all diagrams involving associativity natural isomorphisms and (deformation) natural automorphisms and provide a link to permutations and linear orderings. This leads to other notions of premonoidalness. We define these notions and prove coherence results for each.
