Idea

Monoids are unital semigroups.

Definition

is-unital-Semigroup :
  {l : Level} → Semigroup l → UU l
is-unital-Semigroup G = is-unital (mul-Semigroup G)

Monoid :
  (l : Level) → UU (lsuc l)
Monoid l = Σ (Semigroup l) is-unital-Semigroup

module _
  {l : Level} (M : Monoid l)
  where

  semigroup-Monoid : Semigroup l
  semigroup-Monoid = pr1 M

  is-unital-Monoid : is-unital-Semigroup semigroup-Monoid

  mul-Monoid : type-Monoid → type-Monoid → type-Monoid

  mul-Monoid' : type-Monoid → type-Monoid → type-Monoid

  ap-mul-Monoid :
    {x x' y y' : type-Monoid} →
    x ＝ x' → y ＝ y' → mul-Monoid x y ＝ mul-Monoid x' y'

    (x y z : type-Monoid) →
    mul-Monoid (mul-Monoid x y) z ＝ mul-Monoid x (mul-Monoid y z)
  associative-mul-Monoid = associative-mul-Semigroup semigroup-Monoid

  has-unit-Monoid : is-unital mul-Monoid
  has-unit-Monoid = pr2 M

  unit-Monoid : type-Monoid
  unit-Monoid = pr1 has-unit-Monoid

Properties

For any semigroup G, being unital is a property

    {l : Level} (G : Semigroup l) → is-prop (is-unital-Semigroup G)
  is-prop-is-unital-Semigroup G =

Monoids are H-spaces

h-space-Monoid : {l : Level} (M : Monoid l) → H-Space l
pr1 (pr1 (h-space-Monoid M)) = type-Monoid M
pr2 (pr1 (h-space-Monoid M)) = unit-Monoid M
pr1 (pr2 (h-space-Monoid M)) = mul-Monoid M
pr1 (pr2 (pr2 (h-space-Monoid M))) = left-unit-law-mul-Monoid M
pr1 (pr2 (pr2 (pr2 (h-space-Monoid M)))) = right-unit-law-mul-Monoid M
pr2 (pr2 (pr2 (pr2 (h-space-Monoid M)))) =
  eq-is-prop (is-set-type-Monoid M _ _)

Monoids are wild monoids

wild-monoid-Monoid : {l : Level} (M : Monoid l) → Wild-Monoid l
pr1 (wild-monoid-Monoid M) = h-space-Monoid M
pr1 (pr2 (wild-monoid-Monoid M)) = associative-mul-Monoid M
pr1 (pr2 (pr2 (wild-monoid-Monoid M))) y z =
  eq-is-prop (is-set-type-Monoid M _ _)
pr1 (pr2 (pr2 (pr2 (wild-monoid-Monoid M)))) x z =
  eq-is-prop (is-set-type-Monoid M _ _)
pr1 (pr2 (pr2 (pr2 (pr2 (wild-monoid-Monoid M))))) x y =
  eq-is-prop (is-set-type-Monoid M _ _)
pr2 (pr2 (pr2 (pr2 (pr2 (wild-monoid-Monoid M))))) = star
