We define locally wide finitary 2-categories by relaxing the definition of finitary 2-categories to allow infinitely many objects and isomorphism classes of 1-morphisms and infinite dimensional hom-spaces of 2-morphisms. After defining…

Let X be an affine variety and L be a solvable Lie subalgebra of Lie(Aut(X)) generated by a finite collection of locally finite Lie subalgebras. The authors of [arXiv:2507.09679] wondered whether L is itself locally finite. Here we present…

We answer two questions about the topology of end spaces of infinite type surfaces and the action of the mapping class group that have appeared in the literature. First, we give examples of infinite type surfaces with end spaces that are…

We show that the category of coalgebras for the compact Vietoris endofunctor $\mathbb{V}$ on the category Top of topological spaces and continuous mappings is isomorphic to the category of all modally saturated Kripke structures. Extending…

We consider and characterize classes of finite and countably categorical structures and their theories preserved under $E$-operators and $P$-operators. We describe $e$-spectra and families of finite cardinalities for structures belonging to…

We give a specific cylinder functor for semifree dg categories. This allows us to construct a homotopy colimit functor explicitly. These two functors are "computable", specifically, the constructed cylinder functor sends a dg category of…

We generalize a recent result by J.F. Carlson to finite tensor categories having finitely generated cohomology. Specifically, we show that if the Krull dimension of the cohomology ring is sufficiently large, then there exist infinitely many…

We extend Barr's well-known characterization of the final coalgebra of a $Set$-endofunctor as the completion of its initial algebra to the Eilenberg-Moore category of algebras for a $Set$-monad $\mathbf{M}$ for functors arising as liftings.…

We investigate final coalgebras in nominal sets. This allows us to define types of infinite data with binding for which all constructions automatically respect alpha equivalence. We give applications to the infinitary lambda calculus.

We generalize the concepts of locally presentable and accessible categories. Our framework includes such categories as small presheaves over large categories and ind-categories. This generalization is intended for applications in the…

We show how to use topological ideas, such as compactness, to establish orderability properties of infinite groups. A new application is to provide a left-ordering for the group of PL homeomorphisms of a connected surface with boundary…

We develop the theory of 2-quivers and quiver 2-categories to run in parallel with the classical theory of quiver algebras. A quiver 2-category is always finitary, and, conversely, every finitary 2-category will be bi-equivalent with a…

We develop a 2-dimensional version of accessibility and presentability compatible with the formalism of flat pseudofunctors. First we give prerequisites on the different notions of 2-dimensional colimits, filteredness and cofinality; in…

In a previous article, we introduced notions of finiteness obstruction, Euler characteristic, and L^2-Euler characteristic for wide classes of categories. In this sequel, we prove the compatibility of those notions with homotopy colimits of…

We prove, over any base ring, that the infinity-category of strictly unital A-infinity-categories (and strictly unital functors) is equivalent to the infinity-category of unital A-infinity-categories (and unital functors). We also identify…

The theory of coalgebras, for an endofunctor on a category, has been proposed as a general theory of transition systems. We investigate and relate four generalizations of bisimulation to this setting, providing conditions under which the…

We introduce a new class of categories generalizing locally presentable ones. The distinction does not manifest in the abelian case and, assuming Vopenka's principle, the same happens in the regular case. The category of complete partial…

We discuss the finiteness of the topological entropy of continuous endomorphims for some classes of locally compact groups. Firstly, we focus on the abelian case, imposing the condition of being compactly generated, and note an interesting…

Are all subcategories of locally finitely presentable categories that are closed under limits and $\lambda$-filtered colimits also locally presentable? For full subcategories the answer is affirmative. Makkai and Pitts proved that in the…

Our work over the past years shows that not only the collection of (for instance) all topological spaces gives rise to a category, but also each topological space can be seen individually as a category by interpreting the convergence…
