Higher monadic descent is the generalization of the notion of monadic descent from category theory to higher category theory. It relates to the descent of ∞-stacks as ordinary monad descent relates to stacks.
See also cohomological descent.
For a homomorphism of suitable monoids, there is the corresponding pull-push adjunction (extension of scalars restriction of scalars) on categories of modules
The bar construction of the corresponding monad is the corresponding Amitsur complex.
(e.g. Hess 10, section 6)
A monadicity theorem for pseudomonads is proved in
In 2-category-theory, a notion of 2-fibered categories are defined in Gray’s work and then again introduced and discussed at length by Claudio Hermida, who has good ideas on higher n (and I will be trilled to hear once that he found the time to return to the topic and give us good answers). An appendix in
is discussing a 2-categorical version of Beck-Chevalley condition needed to compare it with the 2-monadic descent; there is also a version of Beck’s theorem sketched there.
A comprehensive treatment in the context of (∞,1)-category-theory, general theory of (∞,1)-monads and their monadicity theorem is in
later absorned as
Unfortunately, Kontsevich‘s monadicity theorem (July 2004) which is in the setup of A-∞-categories, still remains unpublished. The triangulated version is in Rosenberg’s lectures
Its proof is based on Verdier's abelianization functor.
