Effective Descent Morphisms in Categories of Lax Algebras

Abstract. In this paper we investigate effective descent morphisms in categories of reflexive and transitive lax algebras. We show in particular that open and proper maps are effective descent, result that extends the corresponding results for the category of topological spaces and continuous maps.
