標題 A bicategorical analysis of E-categories

概要 The purpose of this paper is to present how the theory of E-categories can be viewed as a special case of the traditional theory of bicategories. In particular, we take the proof of the normalisation for monoids in the E-categorical setting and show how that proof is an immediate consequence of the constructions used in the proof of coherence for bicategories using bicategorical Yoneda lemma. Such use of the bicategorical Yoneda lemma has been known as a folklore among bicategory theory experts but the style of the existing literature is so condensed that it is virtually impenetrable to people outside the higher order category theory community. So we believe it is worthwhile to start from a detailed account of the basic notions of bicategory theory as we do in this paper.
