Category theory has foundational importance because it provides conceptual lenses to characterize what is important in mathematics. Originally the main lenses were universal mapping properties and natural transformations. In recent decades,…
We prove existence results a la Jeff Smith for left-induced model category structures, of which the injective model structure on a diagram category is an important example. We further develop the notions of fibrant generation and Postnikov…
The theory of $N$-complexes is a generalization of both ordinary chain complexes and graded objects. Hence it yields deeper insight in the structure of these and offers a broader range of applications. This work generalizes the tensor…
We collect in one place a variety of known and folklore results in enriched model category theory and add a few new twists. The central theme is a general procedure for constructing a Quillen adjunction, often a Quillen equivalence, between…
A relative category is a category with a chosen class of weak equivalences. Barwick and Kan produced a model structure on the category of all relative categories, which is Quillen equivalent to the Joyal model structure on simplicial sets…
A foundational question in the theory of linear compartmental models is how to assess whether a model is structurally identifiable -- that is, whether parameter values can be inferred from noiseless data -- directly from the combinatorics…
We construct a symmetric monoidal closed category of polynomial endofunctors (as objects) and simulation cells (as morphisms). This structure is defined using universal properties without reference to representing polynomial diagrams and is…
We construct a category $\OrdFor$ as an arboreal extension of $\Delta_{\mathrm{epi}}\subseteq\Delta$, whose morphisms are ordered forests composed by grafting. We define a full functor $\pi\colon \OrdFor\to\Delta_{\mathrm{epi}}^{op}$…
We prove a theorem of Hinich type on existence of a model structure on a category related by an adjunction to the category of differential graded modules over a graded commutative ring.
We generalize the small object argument in order to allow for its application to proper classes of maps (as opposed to sets of maps in Quillen's small object argument). The necessity of such a generalization arose with appearance of several…
Bayes' rule tells us how to invert a causal process in order to update our beliefs in light of new evidence. If the process is believed to have a complex compositional structure, we may observe that the inversion of the whole can be…
In these notes, an introduction to derived categories and derived functors is given. The main focus is the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety.
The purpose of this article is threefold: Firstly, we propose some enhancements to the existing definition of 6-functor formalisms. Secondly, we systematically study the category of kernels, which is a certain 2-category attached to every…
A category of FI type is one which is sufficiently similar to finite sets and injections so as to admit nice representation stability results. Several common examples admit a Grothendieck fibration to finite sets and injections. We begin by…
We discuss two simple but useful observations that allow the construction of modular forms from given ones using invariant theory. The first one deals with elliptic modular forms and their derivatives, and generalizes the Rankin-Cohen…
Let $R$ be an associative ring with unit. This paper deals with various aspects of the category of functors of $\mathcal R$-modules; that is, the category of additive and covariant functors from the category of R-modules to the category of…
We use Quillen model structures to show a systematic method to lift recollements of hereditary abelian model categories to recollements of their associated homotopy categories. To that end, we use the notion of Quillen adjoint triples and…
This paper introduces a simple type system for combinatory logic in which combinators have at most one type, whose polymorphism is revealed by application. The combinatory types exactly describe the structure of their values, which may be…
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…
In the theory of operads we consider functors of generalized symmetric powers defined by sums of coinvariant modules under actions of symmetric groups. One observes classically that the construction of symmetric functors provides an…
