We generalise to a group homomorphism $\tau$ the $\chi$-graded categories of S\"{o}zer and Virelizier. These are categories in which both morphisms and objects have compatible degrees. We give a 'half-enriched' Yoneda lemma, a structure…

We define bicategories internal to 2-categories. When the ambient 2-category is symmetric monoidal categories, this provides a convenient framework for encoding the structures of a symmetric monoidal 3-category. This framework is well…

For a category C we investigate the problem of when the coproduct $\bigoplus$ and the product functor $\prod$ from C^I to C are isomorphic for a fixed set I, or, equivalently, when the two functors are Frobenius functors. We show that for…

Given a fibration in groupoids d : D -> I, we define a fibered multicategory as a particular functor p : M -> I, where M has the same objects as D, and its arrows a : X -> Y should be thought of as families of arrows in the multicategory,…

We exhibit the proximity frames and proximity homomorphisms as a Kleisli category of a comonad whose underlying functor takes a proximity frame to its frame of round ideals. This construction is known in the literature as {\em stable…

We study module like objects over categorical quotients of algebras by the action of coalgebras with several objects. These take the form of ``entwined comodules'' and ``entwined contramodules'' over a triple $(\mathscr C,A,\psi)$, where…

We consider certain categorical structures that are implicit in subfactor theory. Making the connection between subfactor theory (at finite index) and category theory explicit sheds light on both subjects. Furthermore, it allows various…

Frobenius monoidal functors preserve duals. We show that conversely, (co)monoidal functors between autonomous categories which preserve duals are Frobenius monoidal. We apply this result to linearly distributive functors between autonomous…

This article continues the study of diagrams in the bicategory of \'etale groupoid correspondences. We prove that any such diagram has a groupoid model and that the groupoid model is a locally compact \'etale groupoid if the diagram is…

We address the homotopy theory of 2-crossed modules of commutative algebras, which are equivalent to simplicial commutative algebras with Moore complex of length two. In particular, we construct for maps of 2-crossed modules a homotopy…

The fact that the cocommutative comonoids in a symmetric monoidal category form the best possible approximation by a cartesian category is revisited when the original category is only braided monoidal. This leads to the question when the…

We consider commutative Frobenius pseudomonoids in the bicategory of spans, and we show that they are in correspondence with 2-Segal cosymmetric sets. Such a structure can be interpreted as a coherent 2-dimensional topological quantum field…

Let $A$ be a ring and $\M_A$ the category of $A$-modules. It is well known in module theory that for any $A $-bimodule $B$, $B$ is an $A$-ring if and only if the functor $-\otimes_A B: \M_A\to \M_A$ is a monad (or triple). Similarly, an $A…

Relational structures are emerging as ubiquitous mathematical machinery in the semantics of open systems of various kinds. Cartesian bicategories are a well-known categorical algebra of relations that has proved especially useful in recent…

The distributive property can be studied through bilinear maps and various morphisms between these maps. The adjoint-morphisms between bilinear maps establish a complete abelian category with projectives and admits a duality. Thus the…

In this paper we study Frobenius bimodules between noncommutative spaces (quasi-schemes), developing some of their basic properties. If X and Y are spaces, we study those Frobenius X,Y-bimodules M satisfying properties that are natural in…

A groupoid is a small category in which each morphism has an inverse. A topological groupoid is a groupoid in which both sets of objects and morphisms have topologies such that all groupoid structure maps are continuous. The notion of…

We give a new definition of a Frobenius structure on an algebra object in a monoidal category, generalising Frobenius algebras in the category of vector spaces. Our definition allows Frobenius forms valued in objects other than the unit…

Let $(\mathcal{C},\mathbb{E},\mathfrak{s})$ be an extriangulated category. Given a composition of two commutative squares in $\mathcal{C}$, if two commutative squares are homotopy cartesian, then their composition is also a homotopy…

The disjoint union of mapping class groups of surfaces forms a braided monoidal category $\mathcal M$, as the disjoint union of the braid groups $\mathcal B$ does. We give a concrete, and geometric meaning of the braiding $\beta_{r,s}$ in…
