Idea

A symmetric monoidal closed category is

which as such is also:

  1. symmetric monoidal

  2. closed monoidal.

Properties

Relation between monoidal and strong monads

For monads on symmetric monoidal closed categories there is a close relation between structures of monoidal monads and of strong monads.

For the moment see at enriched monad – Relation to strong and monoidal monads for more on this.

Examples

Example

Any cartesian closed category is symmetric monoidal closed.

Example

A Bénabou cosmos (a good base for enrichment in enriched category theory) is defined to be a bicomplete symmetric monoidal closed category.

Proof that the funny tensor product of categories is the only other symmetric closed monoidal structure on Cat besides the cartesian monoidal structure:
