Abstract: We define a bar construction endofunctor on the category of commutative augmented monoids A of a symmetric monoidal category mathcalV endowed with a left adjoint monoidal functor F:smathbfSetomathcalV. To do this, we need to carefully examine the monoidal properties of the well-known (reduced) simplicial bar construction . We define a geometric realization || with respect to the image under F of the canonical cosimplicial simplicial set. This guarantees good monoidal properties of ||: it is monoidal, and given a left adjoint monoidal functor G:mathcalVomathcalW, there is a monoidal transformation |G|RightarrowG||. We can then consider and the iterations BnA. We establish the existence of a graded multiplication on these objects, provided the category mathcalV is cartesian and A is a ring object. The examples studied include simplicial sets and modules, topological spaces, chain complexes and spectra.
