We show that the category of (reflexive) graphs and graph maps carries exactly two closed symmetric monoidal products: the box product and the categorical product.

We consider the ordinary category Span(C) of (isomorphism classes of) spans of morphisms in a category C with finite limits as needed, composed horizontally via pullback, and give a general criterion for a quotient of Span(C) to be an…

We introduce the notion of a definable category--a category equivalent to a full subcategory of a locally finitely presentable category that is closed under products, directed colimits and pure subobjects. Definable subcategories are…

Frobenius monoidal functors preserve duals. We show that conversely, (co)monoidal functors between autonomous categories which preserve duals are Frobenius monoidal. We apply this result to linearly distributive functors between autonomous…

We study polynomial functors over locally cartesian closed categories. After setting up the basic theory, we show how polynomial functors assemble into a double category, in fact a framed bicategory. We show that the free monad on a…

Additive categories play a fundamental role in mathematics and related disciplines. Given an additive category equipped with a biadditive functor, one can construct its category of extensions, which encodes important structural information.…

In this paper we continue the project of generalizing tilting theory to the category of contravariant functors $Mod(C)$, from a skeletally small preadditive category $C$ to the category of abelian groups. We introduced the notion of a a…

In this short note it is shown that the category of neighborhood spaces is not cartesian closed.

We prove that exact functors between the categories of perfect complexes supported on projective schemes are of Fourier--Mukai type if the functor satisfies a condition weaker than being fully faithful. We also get generalizations of the…

Let C be a triangulated category with a Serre functor S and X a non-zero contravariantly finite rigid subcategory of C. Then X is cluster tilting if and only if the quotient category C/X is abelian and S(X)=X[2]. As an application, this…

We revisit an old assertion due to Rouquier, characterizing the perfect complexes as bounded homological functors on the bounded complexes of coherent sheaves. The new results vastly generalize the old statement---first of all the ground…

We prove that a category which is symmetric (relaxed) monoidal closed, (small) complete, well-powered and has a small cogenerating family, is cocomplete.

Let $\mathcal C$ be a subcategory of the category of topologized semigroups and their partial continuous homomorphisms. An object $X$ of the category ${\mathcal C}$ is called ${\mathcal C}$-closed if for each morphism $f:X\to Y$ of the…

We consider limits over categories of extensions and show how certain well-known functors on the category of groups turn out as such limits. We also discuss higher (or derived) limits over categories of extensions.

We prove that the derived categories for toric varieties have complete exceptional collections.

Every category $\mathcal K$ has a free completion $\mathcal P \mathcal K$ under colimits and a free completion $\Sigma\mathcal K$ under coproducts. A number of properties of $\mathcal K$ transfer to $\mathcal P \mathcal K$ and…

We show that in a category with pullbacks, arbitrary sifted colimits may be constructed as filtered colimits of reflexive coequalizers. This implies that "lex sifted colimits", in the sense of Garner--Lack, decompose as Barr-exactness plus…

The notion of a subtractive category, recently introduced by the author, is a ``categorical version'' of the notion of a (pointed) subtractive variety of universal algebras, due to A. Ursini. We show that a subtractive variety $\C$, whose…

A classification is provided of functors, in particular polynomial ones, from a category with a zero object in which every object is a finite sum of copies of a generating object, into an abelian category. This classification is extended to…

In this note, we show that the category of strongly central series admits co-induced actions, which means that it is Locally Algebraically Cartesian Closed. We also show that some co-induction functors exist in the category of topological…
