This paper discusses some issues arising from the category $\mathfrak{H}$ of hypergraphs, the category $\mathfrak{M}$ of (undirected) multigraphs, and the topos $\mathfrak{Q}$ of quivers. First, the natural inclusion of $\mathfrak{M}$ into…
This article presents a reformulation of the Theory of Functional Connections: a general methodology for functional interpolation that can embed a set of user-specified linear constraints. The reformulation presented in this paper exploits…
The structure of the category of matroids and strong maps is investigated: it has coproducts and equalizers, but not products or coequalizers; there are functors from the categories of graphs and vector spaces, the latter being faithful;…
Multivariable, real-valued functions induce matrix-valued functions defined on the space of d-tuples of n-times-n pairwise-commuting self-adjoint matrices. We examine the geometry of this space of matrices and conclude that the best notion…
Families of conformal field theories are naturally endowed with a Riemannian geometry which is locally encoded by correlation functions of exactly marginal operators. We show that the curvature of such conformal manifolds can be computed…
Diers developed a general theory of right multi-adjoint functors leading to a purely categorical, point-set construction of spectra. Situations of multiversal properties return sets of canonical solutions rather than a unique one. In the…
We establish a calculus of differences for taut endofunctors of the category of sets, analogous to the classical calculus of finite differences for real valued functions. We study how the difference operator interacts with limits and…
Using the category of finite sets and injections, we construct a new model for the multilinearization of multifunctors between spaces that appears in the derivatives of Goodwillie calculus. We show that this model yields a lax monoidal…
In Goodwillie calculus, unpublished work of Dwyer and Rezk provides a classification of reduced filtered colimit preserving $d$-excisive functors from pointed spaces to spectra as spectrum-valued functors on the category of finite sets of…
Relative theories(=closed subfunctors) are considered in exact, triangulated and extriangulated categories by Dr\"{a}xler-Reiten-Smal{\o}-Solberg-Keller, Beligiannis and Herschend-Liu-Nakaoka, respectively. We give a construction method of…
Estimating the coefficient functionals on various classes of holomorphic functions traditionally forms an important field of geometric complex analysis and its mathematical and physical applications. These coefficients reflect fundamental…
A theory of graded manifolds can be viewed as a generalization of differential geometry of smooth manifolds. It allows one to work with functions which locally depend not only on ordinary real variables, but also on $\mathbb{Z}$-graded…
We introduce the notion of a multi-fan. It is a generalization of that of a fan in the theory of toric variety in algebraic geometry. Roughly speaking a toric variety is an algebraic variety with an action of algebraic torus of the same…
The goal of this work is to describe a categorical formalism for (Extended) Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) and present them as functors from a suitable category of cobordisms with corners to a linear category, generalizing 2d…
In this paper, we give one possible definition for functions of several variables applied to endomorphisms of finite dimensional C-vector spaces. This definition is consistent with the usual notion of a function of a square matrix. Some…
The theory of contractions of multivectors, and star duality, was reorganized in a previous article, and here we present some applications. First, we study inner and outer spaces associated to a general multivector $M$ via the equations $v…
We introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy their important properties. Moreover, they exist in…
We review the multivariate holomorphic functional calculus for tuples in a commutative Banach algebra and establish a simple "na\"ive" extension to commuting tuples in a general Banach algebra. The approach is na\"ive in the sense that the…
We consider the variational complex on infinite jet space and the complex of variational derivatives for Lagrangians of multidimensional paths and study relations between them. The discussion of the variational (bi)complex is set up in…
For an oriented knot $K$, we construct a functor from the category of pointed quandles to the category of quandles in three different ways. We also extend the quandle cocycle invariants of knots by using these quandle-valued invariant of…
