Given a ring homomorphism $B \to A$, consider its centralizer $R = A^B$, bimodule endomorphism ring $S = \End {}_BA_B$ and sub-tensor-square ring $T = (A \o_B A)^B$. Nonassociative tensoring by the cyclic modules $R_T$ or ${}_SR$ leads to…

Given a not necessarily semisimple modular tensor category C, we use the corresponding 3d TFT defined in [arXiv:1912.02063] to explicitly describe a modular functor as a symmetric monoidal 2-functor from a 2-category of oriented bordisms to…

We classify which dual functors on a unitary multitensor category are compatible with the dagger structure in terms of groupoid homomorphisms from the universal grading groupoid to $\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ where the latter is considered as a…

Let $G$ be a group and let $E$ be a functor from small $\Z$-linear categories to spectra. Also let $A$ be a ring with a $G$-action. Under mild conditions on $E$ and $A$ one can define an equivariant homology theory of $G$-simplicial sets…

The fundamental construction underlying descent theory, the lax descent category, comes with a functor that forgets the descent data. We prove that, in any $2$-category $\mathfrak{A} $ with lax descent objects, the forgetful morphisms…

We generalize the construction of tensor categories of endomorphisms of a type III factor $M$ associated with a $G$-kernel, from the case of a discrete group $G$ to that of a compact second countable group. Our approach is based on the…

Gluing of two pseudo functors has been studied by Deligne, Ayoub, and others in the construction of extraordinary direct image functors in \'etale cohomology, stable homotopy, and mixed motives of schemes. In this article, we study more…

The monomorphism category $\mathscr{S}(A, M, B)$ induced by a bimodule $_AM_B$ is the subcategory of $\Lambda$-mod consisting of $\left[\begin{smallmatrix} X\\ Y\end{smallmatrix}\right]_{\phi}$ such that $\phi: M\otimes_B Y\rightarrow X$ is…

For any block of a finite group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$ which has dihedral, semidihedral, or generalized quaternion defect groups, we determine explicitly the decomposition of the associated diagonal…

Suppose we are given complex manifolds $X$ and $Y$ together with substacks $\mathcal{S}$ and $\mathcal{S}'$ of modules over algebras of formal deformation $\mathcal{A}$ on $X$ and $\mathcal{A}'$ on $Y$, respectively. Suppose also we are…

This paper presents a fanctor $S$ from the category of groupoids to the category of semigroups. Indeed, a monoid $S_G$ with a right zero element is related to a topological groupoid $G$. The monoid $S_G$ is a subset of $C(G,G)$, the set of…

Let C be an extriangulated category. We prove that two quotient categories of extriangu?lated categories induced by selforthogonal subcategories are equivalent to module categories by restriction of two functors E and Hom, respectively.…

The tensor functor called $\alpha$-induction produces a new unitary fusion category from a Frobenius algebra, or a $Q$-system, in a braided unitary fusion category. A bi-unitary connection, which is a finite family of complex number subject…
