Abstract: We define and study a notion of extitcommutant for mathcalV-enriched mathcalJ-algebraic theories for a system of arities mathcalJ, recovering the usual notion of commutant or centralizer of a subring as a special case alongside Wraith's notion of commutant for Lawvere theories as well as a notion of commutant for mathcalV-monads on a symmetric monoidal closed category mathcalV. This entails a thorough study of commutation and Kronecker products of operations in mathcalJ-theories. In view of the equivalence between mathcalJ-theories and mathcalJ-ary monads we reconcile this notion of commutation with Kock's notion of commutation of cospans of monads and, in particular, the notion of commutative monad. We obtain notions of mathcalJ-extitarycommutant and extitabsolutecommutant for mathcalJ-ary monads, and we show that for finitary monads on Set the resulting notions of finitary commutant and absolute commutant coincide. We examine the relation of the notion of commutant to both the notion of extitcodensitymonad and the notion of extitalgebraicstructure in the sense of Lawvere.
