In an abelian category $\mathscr{A}$ with small ${\rm Ext}$ groups, we show that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between any two of the following: balanced pairs, subfunctors $\mathcal{F}$ of ${\rm Ext}^{1}_{\mathscr{A}}(-,-)$ such…
Recently, several authors have adopted new alternative approaches in the study of some classical notions of modules. Among them, we find the notion of subprojectivity which was introduced to measure in a way the degree of projectivity of…
We prove an elementary additive combinatorics inequality, which says that if $A$ is a subset of an Abelian group, which has, in some strong sense, large doubling, then the difference set A-A has a large subset, which has small doubling.
A compact closed bicategory is a symmetric monoidal bicategory where every object is equipped with a weak dual. The unit and counit satisfy the usual "zig-zag" identities of a compact closed category only up to natural isomorphism, and the…
We construct a 2-category of differential graded schemes. The local affine models in this theory are differential graded algebras, which are graded commutative with unit over a field of characteristic zero, are concentrated in non-positive…
A quandle will be called quasi-affine, if it embeds into an affine quandle. Our main result is a characterization of quasi-affine quandles, by group-theoretic properties of their displacement group, by a universal algebraic condition coming…
An adjoint pair of contravariant functors between abelian categories can be extended to the adjoint pair of their derived functors in the associated derived categories. We describe the reflexive complexes and interpret the achieved results…
The aim of the paper is to describe autocompact objects in Ab5-categories, i.e. objects in cocomplete abelian categories with exactness preserving filtered colimits of exact sequences, whose covariant Hom-functor commutes with copowers of…
We develop the theory of exact completions of regular $\infty$-categories, and show that the $\infty$-categorical exact completion (resp. hypercompletion) of an abelian category recovers the connective half of its bounded (resp. unbounded)…
A folklore result in category theory is that a (weakly) Cartesian closed category with finite co-products is distributive. Usually, the proof of this small result is carried on using the fact that the exponential functor is right adjoint to…
It is well known that a resolving subcategory $\mathcal{A}$ of an abelian subcategory $\mathcal{E}$ induces several derived equivalences: a triangle equivalence $\mathbf{D}^-(\mathcal{A})\to \mathbf{D}^-(\mathcal{E})$ exists in general and…
We introduce subclasses of exact categories in terms of admissible intersections or admissible sums or both at the same time. These categories are recently studied by Br\"ustle, Hassoun, Shah, Tattar and Wegner to give characterisations of…
We discuss a relation between the structure of derived categories of smooth projective varieties and their birational properties. We suggest a possible definition of a birational invariant, the derived category analogue of the intermediate…
Recently the adjoint algebraic entropy of endomorphisms of abelian groups was introduced and studied. We generalize the notion of adjoint entropy to continuous endomorphisms of topological abelian groups. Indeed, the adjoint algebraic…
We consider abelian length categories, a generalization of module categories over Artin algebras. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian length category of colocal type. We show that the lattice $\mathsf{S}(\mathcal{A})$ of full additive subobject…
We formulate a version of the integral Hodge conjecture for categories, prove the conjecture for two-dimensional Calabi-Yau categories which are suitably deformation equivalent to the derived category of a K3 or abelian surface, and use…
We construct examples of abelian categories with no non-zero injective (or projective) objects satisfying Grothendieck's AB5 condition. The procedure combines Rickard's examples of AB5 categories without products but some non-trivial…
A completeness conjecture is advanced concerning the free small-colimit completion P(A) of a (possibly large) category A. The conjecture is based on the existence of a small generating-cogenerating set of objects in A. We sketch how the…
There are two abelian groups which can naturally be associated to an additive category A: the split Grothendieck group of A and the triangulated Grothendieck group of the homotopy category of (bounded) complexes in A. We prove that these…
We introduce abelian framed bicategories, which are particular framed bicategories that are locally abelian, and show that they are suitable for developing homology and cohomology theories for directed structures. This means in particular…
