We establish a correspondence between modules and spans of algebras within a general monoidal 2-category $\mathfrak{C}$. Specifically, for an algebra $A$ in $\mathfrak{C}$, we construct a normalized lax 3-functor from the 2-category of…

This paper explores the interplay between category theory, topology, and the algebraic theory of finite groups. Our analysis unfolds in three stages. First, we establish the foundational universe of our objects: the complete and cocomplete…

Using a categorial version of Fra\"iss\'e's theorem due to Droste and G\"obel, we derive a criterion for a comma-category to have universal homogeneous objects. As a first application we give new existence result for universal structures…

We provide an explicit construction of Hopf categories associated to comonoidal functors, generalizing \v{S}evera's construction of Hopf monoids through M-adapted functors. We discuss the example of the Hopf category whose underlying class…

The Ehresmann-Schein-Nambooripad theorem gives a structure theorem for inverse monoids: they are inductive groupoids. A particularly nice case due to Jarek is that commutative inverse monoids become semilattices of abelian groups. It has…

Many of the properties of sectional category, topological complexity and homotopic distance are in fact derived from a small number of basic properties, which, once established, lead to all the others without further recourse to topology.…

The structure of monoidal categories in which every arrow is invertible is analyzed in this paper, where we develop a 3-dimensional Schreier-Grothendieck theory of non-abelian factor sets for their classification. In particular, we state…

Invertibility is an important concept in category theory. In higher category theory, it becomes less obvious what the correct notion of invertibility is, as extra coherence conditions can become necessary for invertible structures to have…

We define a ring whose elements are rational functions, whose addition is polynomial multiplication, and whose multiplication is a convolution operation. It is then show that this ring's endomorphisms exhibit a strong classification.…

We introduce a space of stable meromorphic differentials with poles of prescribed orders and define its tautological cohomology ring. This space, just as the space of holomorphic differentials, is stratified according to the set of…

We consider the local analytic behavior for a family of holomorphic differentials on a family of degenerating annuli. Three results and discussion are presented. The first is the normal families Lemma 1. The second is an isomorphism of…

2-Theories are a canonical way of describing categories with extra structure. 2-theory-morphisms are used when discussing how one structure can be replaced with another structure. This is central to categorical coherence theory. We place a…

We consider an orbit category of the bounded derived category of a path algebra of type A_n which can be viewed as a -(m+1)-cluster category, for m >= 1. In particular, we give a characterisation of those maximal m-rigid objects whose…

When formalizing mathematics in (generalized predicative) constructive type theories, or more practically in proof assistants such as Coq or Agda, one is often using setoids (types with explicit equivalence relations). In this note we…

We establish a model structure on the category of strict omega-categories. The constructions leading to the model structure in question are expressed entirely within the scope of omega-categories, building on a set of generating…

We determine the L-S category of Sp(3) by showing that the 5-fold reduced diagonal $\widebar{\Delta}_5$ is given by $\nu^2$, using a Toda bracket and a generalised cohomology theory $h^*$ given by $h^*(X,A) = \{X/A,{\mathbb S}[0,2]\}$,…

Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…

We consider three (2-)categories and their (anti-)equivalence. They are the category of small abelian categories and exact functors, the category of definable additive categories and interpretation functors, the category of locally coherent…

We show that the condition of being categorical in a tail of cardinals can be characterized for the class of $R$-modules of the form $\Add(M)$. More precisely, let $R$ be a ring and $M$ be an $R$-module which can be generated by $\leq…
