We survey Lawvere theories at the level of infinity categories, as an alternative framework for higher algebra (rather than infinity operads). From a pedagogical perspective, they make many key definitions and constructions less technical.…
We observe that the category of topological space, uniform spaces, and simplicial sets are all, in a natural way, full subcategories of the same larger category, namely the simplicial category of filters; this is, moreover, implicit in the…
We use a generic notion of flatness in the enriched context to define various completions of metric spaces -- enrichments over [0,\infty] -- and preorders -- enrichments over 2. We characterize the weights of colimits commuting in…
For a quantale ${\sf{V}}$, the category $\sf V$-${\bf Top}$ of ${\sf{V}}$-valued topological spaces may be introduced as a full subcategory of those ${\sf{V}}$-valued closure spaces whose closure operation preserves finite joins. In…
We show that for any quantale $\mathcal{Q}$, a $\mathcal{Q}$-category is skeletal and complete if and only if it is injective with respect to fully faithful $\mathcal{Q}$-functors. This is a special case of known theorems due to Hofmann and…
We give a definition of compactness in L-fuzzy topological spaces and provide a characterization of compact L-fuzzy topological spaces, where L is a complete quasi-monoidal lattice with some additional structures, and we present a version…
This paper investigates Smyth completeness of categories enriched over a quantale obtained by equipping the unit interval of real numbers with a continuous t-norm. A real-enriched category is Smyth-complete if each of its forward Cauchy…
Finiteness spaces constitute a categorical model of Linear Logic (LL) whose objects can be seen as linearly topologised spaces, (a class of topological vector spaces introduced by Lefschetz in 1942) and morphisms as continuous linear maps.…
The aim of this paper is to discus the relations between various notions of sequential completeness and the corresponding notions of completeness by nets or by filters in the setting of quasi-metric spaces. We propose a new definition of…
In these expository notes, intended for students without background in point-set topology, we develop the basic theory of the Stone-Cech compactification without reference to open sets, closed sets, filters, or nets. In particular, this…
Our work over the past years shows that not only the collection of (for instance) all topological spaces gives rise to a category, but also each topological space can be seen individually as a category by interpreting the convergence…
In fairly elementary terms this paper presents, and expands upon, a recent result by Garner by which the notion of topologicity of a concrete functor is subsumed under the concept of total cocompleteness of enriched category theory.…
In this paper, we present a constructive generalization of metric and uniform spaces by introducing a new class of spaces, called cover spaces. These spaces form a topological concrete category with a full reflective subcategory of complete…
Programs with a continuous state space or that interact with physical processes often require notions of equivalence going beyond the standard binary setting in which equivalence either holds or does not hold. In this paper we explore the…
This paper deals with the notion of weak Lawvere-Tierney topology on a topos. Our motivation to study such a notion is based on the observation that the composition of two Lawvere-Tierney topologies is no longer idempotent, when seen as a…
Lawvere's algebraic theories, or Lawvere theories, underpin a categorical approach to general algebra, and Lawvere's adjunction between semantics and algebraic structure leads to an equivalence between Lawvere theories and finitary monads…
The Kantorovich-Rubinshtein metric is an $L^1$-like metric on spaces of probability distributions that enjoys several serendipitous properties. It is complete separable if the underlying metric space of points is complete separable, and in…
The well-known Lawvere category R of extended real positive numbers comes with a monoidal closed structure where the tensor product is the sum. But R has another such structure, given by multiplication, which is *-autonomous. Normed sets,…
Internal categories feature notions of limit and completeness, as originally proposed in the context of the effective topos. This paper sets out the theory of internal completeness in a general context, spelling out the details of the…
In the context of categorical topology, more precisely that of T-categories [Hofmann, 2007], we define the notion of T-colimit as a particular colimit in a V-category. A complete and cocomplete V-category in which limits distribute over…
