Given Gray-categories $P$ and $L$, there is a Gray-category $\mathrm{Tricat}_{\mathrm{ls}}(P,L)$ of locally strict trihomomorphisms with domain $P$ and codomain $L$, tritransformations, trimodifications, and perturbations. If the domain $P$…
This paper concerns the problem of lifting a KZ doctrine P to the 2-category of pseudo T-algebras for some pseudomonad T. Here we show that this problem is equivalent to giving a pseudo-distributive law (meaning that the lifted pseudomonad…
By considering the situation in which the involved pseudomonads are presented in no-iteration form, we deduce a number of alternative presentations of pseudodistributive laws including a 'decagon' form, a pseudoalgebra form, a no-iteration…
We extend the classical work of Kock on strong and commutative monads, as well as the work of Hyland and Power for 2-monads, in order to define strong and pseudocommutative relative pseudomonads. In order to achieve this, we work in the…
This is the introductory chapter of my PhD Thesis. This thesis consists of one introductory chapter and four single-authored papers written during my PhD studies at the University of Coimbra under supervision of Maria Manuel Clementino. In…
In this paper we introduce a new formalism for $K$-theory, called squares $K$-theory. This formalism allows us to simultaneously generalize the usual three-term relation $[B] = [A] + [C]$ for an exact sequence $A \hookrightarrow B…
We assemble polynomials in a locally cartesian closed category into a tricategory, allowing us to define the notion of a polynomial pseudomonad and polynomial pseudoalgebra. Working in the context of natural models of type theory, we prove…
Given a pseudomonad $\mathcal{T} $, we prove that a lax $\mathcal{T} $-morphism between pseudoalgebras is a $\mathcal{T} $-pseudomorphism if and only if there is a suitable (possibly non-canonical) invertible $\mathcal{T} $-transformation.…
Conformal algebras, recently introduced by Kac, encode an axiomatic description of the singular part of the operator product expansion in conformal field theory. The objective of this paper is to develop the theory of ``multi-dimensional''…
We categorify cocompleteness results of monad theory, in the context of pseudomonads. We first prove a general result establishing that, in any 2-category, weighted bicolimits can be constructed from oplax bicolimits and bicoequalizers of…
We introduce pseudoalgebras for relative pseudomonads and develop their theory. For each relative pseudomonad $T$, we construct a free--forgetful relative pseudoadjunction that exhibits the bicategory of $T$-pseudoalgebras as terminal among…
In this paper, we give a novel abstract description of Szabo's polycategories. We use the theory of double clubs -- a generalisation of Kelly's theory of clubs to `pseudo' (or `weak') double categories -- to construct a pseudo-distributive…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $D$ be a $p$-divisible group over $k$ which is not isoclinic. Let $\scrD$ (resp. $\scrD_k$) be the formal deformation space of $D$ over $\Spf(W(k))$ (resp. over…
We describe a finitary 2-monad on a locally finitely presentable 2-category for which not every pseudoalgebra is equivalent to a strict one. This shows that having rank is not a sufficient condition on a 2-monad for every pseudoalgebra to…
We investigate modules over "systematic" rings. Such rings are "almost graded" and have appeared under various names in the literature; they are special cases of the G-systems of Grzeszczuk. We analyse their K-theory in the presence of…
We study lax functors between bicategories as a generalized concept of monads and describe generalized notions and theorems of formal monad theory for lax functors. Our first approach is to use the 2-monad whose lax algebras are lax…
Monads play an important role in both the syntax and semantics of modern functional programming languages. The problem of combining them has been of profound interest at least since the 90s, and different approaches have been employed to…
In this paper we consider the conditions that need to be satisfied by two families of pseudofunctors with a common codomain for them to be collated into a bifunctor. We observe similarities between these conditions and distributive laws of…
We introduce the notion of Kan injectivity in 2-categories and study its properties. For an adequate 2-category $\mathcal{K}$, we show that every set of morphisms $\mathcal{H}$ induces a KZ-pseudomonad on $\mathcal{K}$ whose 2-category of…
The main result of this work is a new proof and generalization of Lazard's comparison theorem of locally analytic group cohomology with Lie algebra cohomology for K-Lie groups, where K is a finite extension of the p-adic numbers. We show…
