Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unit. We develop a Hochschild cohomology theory in the category $\mathcal{F}$ of linear functors defined from an essentially small symmetric monoidal category enriched in $R$-Mod, to $R$-Mod. The category…

In this paper, we unify various approaches to generalized covering space theory by introducing a categorical framework in which coverings are defined purely in terms of unique lifting properties. For each category $\mathcal{C}$ of…

The traditional approach of defining the fundamental group first and then constructing universal coverings works well only for the class of Poincar\' e spaces. For general spaces there were several attempts to define generalized coverings…

Given a definably compact group G in a saturated o-minimal structure, there is a canonical homomorphism from G to a compact real Lie group F(G). We establish a similar result for the (o-mininimal) universal cover of a definably compact…

Given an infinity-category C, one can naturally construct an infinity-category Fam(C) of families of objects in C indexed by infinity-groupoids. An ordinary categorical version of this construction was used by Borceux and Janelidze in the…

We establish a connection between the theory of cyclotomic ideal class groups and the theory of "geometric" Galois modules and obtain results on the Galois module structure of coherent cohomology groups of Galois covers of varieties over Z.…

In this paper we show that integral fusion categories with rational structure constants admit a natural group of symmetries given by the Galois group of their character tables. We also generalize a well known result of Burnside from…

We initiate the study of holomorphically convex groups: groups that can be realized as fundamental groups of smooth complex projective varieties with holomorphically convex universal covers. If $G$ is a holomorphically convex group of…

In this paper we develop the theory of coverings of a small connected category B. We show that the category of Galois coverings of B is equivalent to the category of Galois coverings of its fundamental groupoid. Making use of effective…

We interpret Galois covers in terms of particular monoidal functors, extending the correspondence between torsors and fiber functors. As applications we characterize tame $G$-covers between normal varieties for finite and \'etale group…

The fundamental groupoid of a locally 0 and 1-connected space classifies covering spaces, or equivalently local systems. When the space is topologically stratified Treumann, based on unpublished ideas of MacPherson, constructed an `exit…

We show that every linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is the differential Galois group of a regular singular linear differential equation with rational function coefficients.

In this paper, for given an algebraic theory $T$ whose category $C$ of models is semi-abelian, we consider the topological models of $T$ called topological $T$-algebras and obtain some results related to the fundamental groups of…

This is the final paper in a series of four, concerning the surface $T \times T$ embedded in $\mathbb{CP}^8$, where $T$ is a the one dimensional torus. In this paper we compute the fundamental group of the Galois cover of the surface with…

In previous work, we have defined---intrinsically, entirely within the digital setting---a fundamental group for digital images. Here, we show that this group is isomorphic to the edge group of the clique complex of the digital image…

We give a universal construction of a derived affine group scheme and its representation category from a symmetric monoidal infinity-category, which we shall call the tannnakization of a symmetric monoidal infinity-category. This can be…

As shown in a previous paper by the same authors, the theory of Galois functors provides a categorical framework for the characterisation of bimonads on any category as Hopf monads and also for the characterisation of opmonoidal monads on…

In this work, we prove that if a triangular algebra $A$ admits a strongly simply connected universal Galois covering for a given presentation then the fundamental group associated to this presentation is free.

We compare several definitions of the Galois group of a linear difference equation that have arisen in algebra, analysis and model theory and show, that these groups are isomorphic over suitable fields. In addition, we study properties of…

We introduce and analyse a general notion of fundamental group for noncommutative spaces, described by differential graded algebras. For this we consider connections on finitely generated projective bimodules over differential graded…
