We show that the construction due to Leinster and Weber of a generalized Lawvere theory for a familially representable monad on a (co)presheaf category, and the associated ``nerve'' functor from monad algebras to (co)presheaves, have an…

We associate, in a functorial way, a monoidal bicategory $\mathsf{Span}| \mathcal V$ to any monoidal bicategory $\mathcal V$. Two examples of this construction are of particular interest: Hopf polyads (due to Brugui\`eres) can be seen as…

The functor that takes a ring to its category of modules has an adjoint if one remembers the forgetful functor to abelian groups: the endomorphism ring of linear natural transformations. This uses the self-enrichment of the category of…

We develop further the theory of monoidal bicategories by introducing and studying bicategorical counterparts of the notions of a linear exponential comonad, as considered in the study of linear logic, and of a codereliction transformation,…

A bivariant functor is defined on a category of *-algebras and a category of operator ideals, both with actions of a second countable group $G$, into the category of abelian monoids. The element of the bivariant functor will be…

We introduce and study a general notion of polynomial functor from a small monoidal symmetric category whose unit is an initial object and give a classification result of polynomial functors of degree smaller of equal to n modulo those of…

Embedding Calculus, as described by Weiss, is a calculus of functors, suitable for studying contravariant functors from the poset of open subsets of a smooth manifold M, denoted O(M), to a category of topological spaces (of which the…

We shown that every continuous local functional on the space of finite convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a valuation. This relation is used to establish a homogeneous decomposition for the class of polynomial local functionals as well…

It is a classical theorem that the free product of ordered groups is orderable. In this note we show that, using a method of G. Bergman, an ordering of the free product can be constructed in a functorial manner, in the category of ordered…

We prove a classification of additive polynomial superfunctors, which allows us to compute some extensions of a superfunctor of the form $F \circ A$ where $F$ is a classical polynomial functor and $A$ is additive. We get a formula which…

In this paper we show how the theory of monads can be used to deduce in a uniform manner several duality theorems involving categories of relations on one side and categories of algebras with homomorphisms preserving only some operations on…

We develop the theory of (op)fibrations of 2-multicategories and use it to define abstract six-functor-formalisms. We also give axioms for Wirthm\"uller and Grothendieck formalisms (where either $f^!=f^*$ or $f_!=f_*$) or intermediate…

An overview of the basic results on Macdonald(-Koornwinder) polynomials and double affine Hecke algebras is given. We develop the theory in such a way that it naturally encompasses all known cases. Among the basic properties of the…

We consider the problem of constructing the free bifibration generated by a functor of categories $p : D \to C$. This problem was previously considered by Lamarche, and is closely related to the problem, considered by Dawson, Par\'e, and…

Polynomial functors are useful in the theory of data types, where they are often called containers. They are also useful in algebra, combinatorics, topology, and higher category theory, and in this broader perspective the polynomial aspect…

We show that each rigid monoidal category A over a field defines a family of universal tensor categories, which together classify all faithful monoidal functors from A to tensor categories. Each of the universal tensor categories classifies…

We define "sliding functors", which are exact endofunctors of the category of multi-graded modules over a polynomial ring. They preserve several invariants of modules, especially the (usual) depth and Stanley depth. In a similar way, we can…

Morphisms in a monoidal category are usually interpreted as processes, and graphically depicted as square boxes. In practice, we are faced with the problem of interpreting what non-square boxes ought to represent in terms of the monoidal…
