   Format: MarkdownItexI'm going by instinct, but it looks to me like the theory of divided power algebras is a [[plethory]], which can be abstractly formulated in the language of monoids, and that divided power algebras themselves will be given by actions of that plethory, similar to the way [[lambda rings]] work. I don't see off-hand how divided power algebras are monoids of some sort themselves, but maybe I'm missing something.
