Abstract: Loday's dendriform algebras and its siblings pre-Lie and zinbiel have received attention over the past two decades. In recent literature, there has been interest in a generalization of these types of algebra in which each individual operation is replaced by a family of operations indexed by a fixed semigroup S. The purpose of this note is twofold. First, we add to the existing work by showing that a similar extension is possible already for the most familiar types of algebra: commutative, associative, and Lie. Second, we show that these concepts arise naturally and in a unified manner from a categorical perspective. For this, one simply has to consider the standard types of algebra but in reference to the monoidal category of S-graded vector spaces.


Recently, numerous generalizations of Rota-Baxter algebras and dendriform algebras appear, where one or two parameters belonging to a semigroup are used: these are family algebras. This paper first shows that similar objects exist for associative, associative commutative, Lie, and many other types of algebras. It then gives a categorical interpretation of these objects: it is shown that they are in fact classical objects in a monoidal category of graded objects over the chosen monoid, satisfying a uniformity condition.
