We introduce a concept of an embedding of a quadratic space in an associative algebra. The general properties of such embeddings are analyzed by linking it to the Clifford algebra. Conversely, there isa simple description of the standard…

This note extends Quillen's Theorem A to a large class of categories internal to topological spaces. This allows us to show that under a mild condition a fully faithful and essentially surjective functor between such topological categories…

The goal of this thesis is to define a 2-dimensional version of abelian categories, where symmetric 2-groups play the role that abelian groups played in 1-dimensional algebra. Abelian and 2-abelian groupoid enriched categories are defined…

We give a new construction of the algebraic $K$-theory of small permutative categories that preserves multiplicative structure, and therefore allows us to give a unified treatment of rings, modules, and algebras in both the input and…

We present a construction of a 2-Hilbert space of sections of a bundle gerbe, a suitable candidate for a prequantum 2-Hilbert space in higher geometric quantisation. We introduce a direct sum on the morphism categories in the 2-category of…

We prove that every functor from the category of Hilbert spaces and linear isometric embeddings to the category of sets which preserves directed colimits must be essentially constant on all infinite-dimensional spaces. In other words, every…

Adhesive categories are categories which have pushouts with one leg a monomorphism, all pullbacks, and certain exactness conditions relating these pushouts and pullbacks. We give a new proof of the fact that every topos is adhesive. We also…

We generalize the small object argument in order to allow for its application to proper classes of maps (as opposed to sets of maps in Quillen's small object argument). The necessity of such a generalization arose with appearance of several…

Cofibration categories are a formalization of homotopy theory useful for dealing with homotopy colimits that exist on the level of models as colimits of cofibrant diagrams. In this paper, we deal with their enriched version. Our main result…

In this paper we introduce the notion of a relative volutive (higher) category, specializing to the notion of a lax volutive (higher) category. Our primary motivation to study these objects is the following: while any rigid symmetric…

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…

For a fixed finite dimensional algebra $A$, we study representation embeddings of the form $mod(B)\rightarrow mod(A)$. Such an embedding is called homological, if it induces an isomorphism on all Ext-groups and weakly homological, if only…

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 prove an analogue of the Gabriel--Quillen embedding theorem for exact $\infty$-categories, giving rise to a presentable version of Klemenc's stable envelope of an exact $\infty$-category. Moreover, we construct a symmetric monoidal…

A general result relating skew monoidal structures and monads is proved. This is applied to quantum categories and bialgebroids. Ordinary categories are monads in the bicategory whose morphisms are spans between sets. Quantum categories…

We provide conditions on a monoidal model category $\mathcal{M}$ so that the category of commutative monoids in $\mathcal{M}$ inherits a model structure from $\mathcal{M}$ in which a map is a weak equivalence or fibration if and only if it…

Gillam proved that the category of locally ringed spaces admits a fully faithful embedding into a certain category, which has a right adjoint that maps some simple objects to the spectra of rings. In this paper, we use condensed mathematics…

A group-category is an additively semisimple category with a monoidal product structure in which the simple objects are invertible. For example in the category of representations of a group, 1-dimensional representations are the invertible…

Expansions of abelian categories are introduced. These are certain functors between abelian categories and provide a tool for induction/reduction arguments. Expansions arise naturally in the study of coherent sheaves on weighted projective…
