Crans constructs a lax Gray tensor product for strict omega-categories that defines a monoidal structure on the category of strict omega-categories $\omega Cat$. We write Gray for this monoidal category $(\omega Cat, \otimes)$. It is easy to see that Gray does not refine to a monoidal strict omega-category, i.e. a weak monoid for the cartesian product on the category of strict omega-categories.
The lax Gray tensor product is bi-closed and so equips the category of strict omega-categories with an enrichment in Gray. Is the Gray tensor product a Gray-enriched functor? Can Gray be enhanced to a weak monoid in Gray-enriched categories? If not, does Gray refine to a weak monoid for some other "weaker" enrichment?
Let $C$ be a strict omega-category and $Fun(C,\omega Cat)$ be the strict $\omega$-category of $\omega$-functors $C \to \omega Cat$ and strict transformations and let $Funlax(C,\omega Cat)$ be the strict $\omega$-category of $\omega$-functors $C \to \omega Cat$ and lax transformations. Are there degree-wise Gray tensor products on the underlying categories $Fun(C,\omega Cat), Funlax(C,\omega Cat)$ that makes these categories to monoidal categories?
