In this article, we consider a formulation of biset functors using the 2-category of finite sets with variable finite group actions. We introduce a 2-category $\mathbb{S}$, on which a biset functor can be regarded as a special kind of…
We consider algebras defined over a complete, local and noetherian ground ring. They are gentle algebras in case the ground ring is a field. The unbounded homotopy category of complexes of projective modules is considered. Complexes with…
We consider three (2-)categories and their (anti-)equivalence. They are the category of small abelian categories and exact functors, the category of definable additive categories and interpretation functors, the category of locally coherent…
Let $C$ be an additive category with cokernels and let Mod($C$) be the category of additive functors from $C^{op}$ to the category Ab of abelian groups. Let mod($C$) be the full subcategory of Mod($C$) consisting of coherent functors. In…
We introduce a notion of complexity of diagrams (and in particular of objects and morphisms) in an arbitrary category, as well as a notion of complexity of functors between categories equipped with complexity functions. We discuss several…
We develop methods for proving that certain extensions of polynomial functors do not split naturally. As an application we give a functorial description of the third and the fourth stable homotopy groups of the classifying spaces of free…
We entirely classify definable sets up to definable bijections in $\mathbb{Z}$-groups, where the language is the one of ordered abelian groups. From this, we deduce, among others, a classification of definable families of bounded definable…
We construct a family of exact functors from the BGG category of representations of the Lie algebra sl to the category of finite-dimensional representations of the degenerate (or graded) affine Hecke algebra H of GL. These functors…
Given a family of complex affine planes, we show that it is trivial over a Zariski open subset of the base. The proof relies upon a relative version of the contraction theorem.
We compute certain Ext and Tor groups in the category of all functors from an Z/p-linear additive category A to vector spaces in terms of Ext and Tor computed in the full subcategory of additive functors from A to vector spaces. We thus…
We show under suitable finiteness conditions that a functor between abelian categories induces a (not necessarily additive) map between their Grothendieck groups. This is related to the derived functors of Dold and Puppe, and generalizes a…
We show that if a (not necessarily algebraic) triangulated category T contains an admissible hereditary abelian subcategory H, then we can lift the inclusion of H into T to a fully faithful triangle functor from the whole of the bounded…
We describe derived moduli functors for a range of problems involving schemes and quasi-coherent sheaves, and give cohomological conditions for them to be representable by derived geometric n-stacks. Examples of problems represented by…
We review several known categorification procedures, and introduce a functorial categorification of group extensions with applications to non-abelian group cohomology. Categorification of acyclic models and of topological spaces are briefly…
In this short note we show that under very mild conditions on a functor between exact categories $F:\mathcal{D}\rightarrow\mathcal{E}$ it is possible to derive $F$ at the level of unbounded complexes. We also give applications to deriving…
We study polynomial functors of degree 2, called quadratic, with values in the category of abelian groups $Ab$, and whose source category is an arbitrary category $\C$ with null object such that all objects are colimits of copies of a…
We introduce a new family of finite posets which we call 2-chains. These first arose in the study of 0-Hecke algebras, but they admit a variety of different characterisations. We give these characterisations, prove that they are equivalent…
We construct a family of plane curves as pull-backs of a conic for abelian coverings of P^2. If the conic is tangent to the ramification lines one obtains a family of curves of degree 2n with 3n singularities of type A_{n-1}. We calculate…
In this paper we classify endofunctors on the simplex category, and we identify those that induce weak equivalence preserving functors on the category of simplicial sets.
In the first part of this note, we review and compare various instances of the notion of twisted coefficient system, a.k.a. polynomial functor, appearing in the literature. This notion hinges on how one defines the degree of a functor from…
