An $\infty$-cosmos is a setting in which to develop the formal category theory of $(\infty,1)$-categories. In this paper, we explore a few atypical examples of $\infty$-cosmoi whose objects are 2-categories or bicategories rather than…

We describe new autoequivalences of derived categories of coherent sheaves arising from what we call $\mathbb P^n$-objects of the category. Standard examples arise from holomorphic symplectic manifolds. Under mirror symmetry these…

Cordes' characterization of Heisenberg-smooth operators bridges a gap between the theory of pseudo-differential operators and quantum harmonic analysis (QHA). We give a new proof of the result by using the phase space formalism of QHA. Our…

Quantum categories were introduced in [4] as generalizations of both bi(co)algebroids and small categories. We clarify details of that work. In particular, we show explicitly how the monadic definition of a quantum category unpacks to a set…

We define, for a regular scheme $S$ and a given field of characteristic zero $\KK$, the notion of $\KK$-linear mixed Weil cohomology on smooth $S$-schemes by a simple set of properties, mainly: Nisnevich descent, homotopy invariance,…

We describe a general framework for notions of commutativity based on enriched category theory. We extend Eilenberg and Kelly's tensor product for categories enriched over a symmetric monoidal base to a tensor product for categories…

We develop the idea of a supersymmetric monoidal supercategory, following ideas of Kapranov. Roughly, this is a monoidal category in which the objects and morphisms are ${\bf Z}/2$-graded, equipped with isomorphisms $X \otimes Y \to Y…

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…

In this paper we try to introduce a good smoothness notion for a functor. We consider properties and conditions from geometry and algebraic geometry which we expect a smooth functor should to have.

This paper studies a notion of parameterized flatness in the enriched context: p-flatness where the parameter p stands for a class of presheaves. One obtains a completion of a category A by considering the category F_p(A) of p-flat…

The starting assumptions to study the convergence and complexity of gradient-type methods may be the smoothness (also called Lipschitz continuity of gradient) and the strong convexity. In this note, we revisit these two basic properties…

Soft set theory can deal uncertainties in nature by parametrization process. In this paper, we explore the objects and morphisms of category of soft sets, Sset(U) in detail. Also, gives characterizations of monomorphisms and epimorphisms in…

We define a simplicial category called the category of derived manifolds. It contains the category of smooth manifolds as a full discrete subcategory, and it is closed under taking arbitrary intersections in a manifold. A derived manifold…

In order to provide a good categorical setting to the many different spaces of fields arising in the description of physical theories, a pedagogical introduction to the categorical notion of smooth sets is provided and some simple…

To an exact endofunctor of a triangulated category with a split-generator, the notion of entropy is given by Dimitrov-Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich, which is a (possibly negative infinite) real-valued function of a real variable. In this…

Combining results from Keller and Buchweitz, we describe the 1-periodic derived category of a finite dimensional algebra $A$ of finite global dimension as the stable category of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over some Gorenstein algebra…

We study the partially wrapped Fukaya category of a surface with boundary with an action of a group of order two. Inspired by skew-group algebras and categories, we define the notion of a skew-group $A_\infty$-category and let it play the…

In this paper we discuss the smoothness conditions for metrics on a cohomogeneity one manifold, i.e. metrics invariant under a Lie group whose generic orbits are hypersurfaces. Along these hypersurfaces one describes the metrics in terms of…

We study properties of a category after quotienting out a suitable chosen group of isomorphisms on each object. Coproducts in the original category are described in its quotient by our new weaker notion of a 'phased coproduct'. We examine…
