A monoidal adjunction is an adjunction in mathematics between monoidal categories which respects the monoidal structure.

are two monoidal categories.

A monoidal adjunction between two lax monoidal functors is an adjunction

between the underlying functors, such that the natural transformations are monoidal natural transformations.

Suppose that is a lax monoidal functor such that the underlying functor

This adjunction lifts to a monoidal adjunction

if and only if the lax monoidal functor
