A new class of functions is presented. The structure of the algorithm, particularly the selection criteria (branching), is used to define the fundamental property of the new class. The most interesting property of the new functions is that…

Prompted by an example related to the tensor algebra, we introduce and investigate a stronger version of the notion of separable functor that we call heavily separable. We test this notion on several functors traditionally connected to the…

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,…

The notion of a categorical quotient can be generalized since its standard categorical concept does not recover the expected quotients in certain categories. We present a more general formulation in the form of $\mathcal{F}$-quotients in a…

In category theory, monads, which are monoid objects on endofunctors, play a central role closely related to adjunctions. Monads have been studied mostly in algebraic situations. In this dissertation, we study this concept in some…

The goal of this note is to spell out the (apparently well-known and intuitively clear) notion of abelian category over an algebraic stack. In the future we will discuss the (much less evident) notion, when instead of an abelian category…

Several notions of "analytic" functor introduced recently in the literature fit into the graphic fourier transform context presented in [D].

In this note one tries to venture into a study of some notions, in the context of a (unital) normed algebra, in particular the algebra of operators on a Hilbert space. Namely, one considers ``moving norms'', i.e.\ norming an element minus a…

The theory of parity quasi-complexes (PQC) is developed, preparing a set up for defining derived functors using resolutions in the nonabelian case. A homotopy structure on the category of PQC is defined, yielding a 2-category structure. The…

In this paper we will prove that there exists a covariant functor from the category of schemes to the category of graphs. This functor provides a combination between algebraic varieties and combinatorial graphs so that the invariants…

The aim of this paper is to define a new operator by using the generalized Struve functions. By using this operator we define a subclass of analytic functions. We discuss some properties of this class such as inclusion problems, radius…

We prove that any right Quillen functor between arbitrary model categories admits non trivial functorial factorizations that are similar to those of a model structure. We also prove that these factorizations can be made for lax monoidal…

Category theory is the language of homological algebra, allowing us to state broadly applicable theorems and results without needing to specify the details for every instance of analogous objects. However, authors often stray from the realm…

It is becoming increasingly difficult for geometers and even physicists to avoid papers containing phrases like `triangulated category', not to mention derived functors. I will give some motivation for such things from algebraic geometry,…

These are the notes for a minicourse held in Odessa (2016) and Belo Horizonte (2017). My aim was to provide a short introduction to basic notions of category theory and representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras. We learnt the…

A great many tools have been developed for supervised classification, ranging from early methods such as linear discriminant analysis through to modern developments such as neural networks and support vector machines. A large number of…

We initiate the systematic study of modular representations of symmetric groups that arise via the braiding in (symmetric) tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We determine what representations appear for certain…

We establish a relation between smooth 2-functors defined on the path 2-groupoid of a smooth manifold and differential forms on this manifold. This relation can be understood as a part of a dictionary between fundamental notions from…

Using functional equations, we define functors that generalize standard examples from calculus of one variable. Examples of such functors are discussed and their Taylor towers are computed. We also show that these functors factor through…

We define the notion of a multi-sorted algebraic theory, which is a generalization of an algebraic theory in which the objects are of different "sorts." We prove a rigidification result for simplicial algebras over these theories, showing…
