Day showed that, for suitable V, any monoidal structure on a (V-)functor category [Cmathrmop,V] is essentially determined by its restriction to the representables as
FotimesG=intA,BFAotimesGBotimesP(A,B,−)
where P(A,B,−)=C(−,A)otimesC(−,B) is a profunctor CotimesCotimesCmathrmoptoV. P (together with a unit and the usual structural isos) is said to endow C with a promonoidal structure.
If C is already a monoidal V-category, then there is a canonical promonoidal structure on it given by
C(−,A)otimesC(−,B)=C(−,AotimesB)
In that case, the Yoneda embedding is strong monoidal by definition. In fact it is the unit for the monoidal cocompletion of C.
