It is a study note detailing the connection between Boolean inverse monoids and ample groupoids.
In previous work, we showed that there are appropriate model category structures on the category of simplicial categories and on the category of Segal precategories, and that they are Quillen equivalent to one another and to Rezk's complete…
The paper "Minimal unit vector fields" by O. Gil-Medrano and E. Llinares-Fuster \cite{GilLli1}. is a seminal paper in the field that has been cited by many authors. It contains, however, a minor technical mistake in Theorem 14 that is…
The purpose of this expository note is to describe duality and trace in a symmetric monoidal category, along with important properties (including naturality and functoriality), and to give as many examples as possible. Among other things,…
We correct a simple error in Percolation on random Johnson-Mehl tessellations and related models, Probability Theory and Related Fields 140 (2008), 417-468. (See also arXiv:math/0610716)
This is a report on aspects of the theory and use of monoidal categories. The first section introduces the main concepts through the example of the category of vector spaces. String notation is explained and shown to lead naturally to a…
In this technical report we describe a general class of monoids for which (sub)sequential rational can be characterised in terms of a congruence relation in the flavour of Myhill-Nerode relation. The class of monoids that we consider can be…
We show that some recent constructions in the literature, named `weak' generalizations, can be systematically treated by passing from 2-categories to categories enriched in the Cartesian monoidal category of Cauchy complete categories.
This short note is an "elementary'' introduction to the conjectural theory of motives.
In the paper "Triangulations, orientals, and skew monoidal categories", the free monoidal category Fsk on a single generating object was described. We sharpen this by giving a completely explicit description of Fsk, and so of the free skew…
In this revised version, we add some expository material and references and make some minor corrections.
This note gives an informal overview of the proof in our paper "Borel Conjecture and Dual Borel Conjecture", see arXiv:1105.0823.
We give some corrections of our paper "Primes in arithmetic progressions to large moduli"[BFI]. The corrections do not affect the statements of any of the theorems in the paper. The contents of our two sequel papers [BFI2, BFI3] also remain…
There is a mathematical error in the first version of this paper. A new corrected version will be posted when the error is fixed, possibly with a modified title.
The paper has been withdrawn due to a crucial error in section 3.
The purpose of this short note is to provide a new and very short proof of a result by Sudakov, offering an important improvement of the classical result by Kolmogorov-Riesz on compact subsets of Lebesgue spaces.
This paper is the first of a series of introductory papers on the fascinating world of Soergel bimodules. It is combinatorial in nature and should be accessible to a broad audience. The objective of this paper is to help the reader feel…
We show that, with some technical conditions, an abelian category can be embedded into the category of bimodules over a ring. The case of semisimple rigid monoidal categories is studied in more detail.
We show that if $(M,\tensor,I)$ is a monoidal model category then $\REnd_M(I)$ is a (weak) 2-monoid in $\sSet$. This applies in particular when $M$ is the category of $A$-bimodules over a simplicial monoid $A$: the derived endomorphisms of…
The original version of this paper contains an error; when this is corrected the basic conclusion changes. A revised manuscript will be submitted shortly.
