This work adapts the equivalent definitions of division algebras over a field into multiple types of division algebras in a monoidal category. Examples and consequences of these definitions are then established in various monoidal settings.

We introduce the notion of limiting theories, giving examples and providing a sufficient condition under which the first order theory of a structure is the limit of the first order theories of a collection of substructures. We also give a…

The bulk of this paper is devoted to the comparison of several models for the theory of (infinity,2)-categories: that is, higher categories in which all k-morphisms are invertible for k > 2 (the case of (infinity,n)-categories is also…

We give an explicit description of the category of central extensions of a group scheme by a sheaf of Abelian groups. Based on this, we describe a framework for computing with central extensions of finite commutative group schemes, torsors…

We define extension $\infty$-categories for exact $\infty$-categories in terms of bifibrations. Extension $\infty$-categories are invariant when passing to the stable hull, and consequently we show that they form an $\Omega$-spectrum,…

In this paper, we define indexed type theories which are related to indexed ($\infty$-)categories in the same way as (homotopy) type theories are related to ($\infty$-)categories. We define several standard constructions for such theories…

Motivated by the theory of graph limits, we introduce and study the convergence and limits of linear representations of finite groups over finite fields. The limit objects are infinite dimensional representations of free groups in…

We can define a module to be an exact functor on a small abelian category. This is explained and shown to be equivalent to the usual definition but it does offer a different perspective, inspired by the notions from model theory of…

We introduce partially defined Schur multipliers and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of extensions to fully defined positive Schur multipliers, in terms of operator systems canonically associated with their…

We study generalized means whose domain may contain unbounded sets as well. We investigate usual properties of this type of means and also new attributes that regard for such means only. We examine how a mean defined on bounded sets can be…

This paper is a rather informal guide to some of the basic theory of 2-categories and bicategories, including notions of limit and colimit, 2-dimensional universal algebra, formal category theory, and nerves of bicategories. As is the way…

Questions of set-theoretic size play an essential role in category theory, especially the distinction between sets and proper classes (or small sets and large sets). There are many different ways to formalize this, and which choice is made…

Our goal is to develop a limit approach for a class of problems in additive combinatorics that is analogous to the limit theory of dense graph sequences. We introduce metric, convergence and limit objects for functions on groups and for…

We study versions of limit models adapted to the context of *metric abstract elementary classes*. Under categoricity and superstability-like assumptions, we generalize some theorems from [GrVaVi]. We prove criteria for existence and…

We develop a theory of extensions of hyperfields that generalizes the notion of field extensions. Since hyperfields have a multivalued addition, we must consider two kinds of extensions that we call weak hyperfield extensions and strong…

We introduce and investigate a class of profinite groups defined via extensions of centralizers analogous to the extensively studied class of finitely generated fully residually free groups, that is, limit groups (in the sense of Z. Sela).…

First we develop the theory of local rules for coboundary categories. Then we describe the local rules in two main cases. First for the quantum groups in general and in the seminormal representations of the Hecke algebras. Then for crystals…

Abstrct: In this note, by considering fractionally linear functions over a finite field and consequently developing an abstract sequence, we study some of its properties.

Motivated by the analysis and geometry of metric-measure structures in infinite dimensions, we study the category of extended metric-topological spaces, along with many of its distinguished subcategories (such as the one of compact spaces).…

We study, in an abstract axiomatic setting, the notion of sectional category of a morphism. From this, we unify and generalize known results about this invariant in different settings as well as we deduce new applications.
