We initiate the systematic study of modular representations of symmetric groups that arise via the braiding in (symmetric) tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We determine what representations appear for certain…

Let A be an algebra with a countable basis and let B be, say, a Frechet algebra that contains A as a dense subalgebra. This embedding induces a functor from the derived category of B-modules to the derived category of A-modules. In many…

Modular functors are traditionally defined as systems of projective representations of mapping class groups of surfaces that are compatible with gluing. They can formally be described as modular algebras over central extensions of the…

We show that the action of the Serre functor on the subcategory of projective-injective modules in a parabolic BGG category $\mathcal O$ of a quasi-reductive finite dimensional Lie superalgebra is given by tensoring with the top component…

This paper lays the groundwork for the theory of categorical diagonalization. Given a diagonalizable operator, tools in linear algebra (such as Lagrange interpolation) allow one to construct a collection of idempotents which project to each…

Exploiting particular features of classical groups, simple constructions are given for the irreducible constituents of the tensor square of the adjoint modules and the leading terms in higher tensor powers. This provides an independent…

We apply the notion of relative adjoint functor to generalise closed monoidal categories. We define representations in such categories and give their relation with left actions of monoids. The translation of these representations under lax…

For a finite dimensional algebra $A$, we prove that the bounded homotopy category of projective $A$-modules and the bounded derived category of $A$-modules are dual to each other via certain categories of locally-finite cohomological…

Given a finite dimensional Hopf algebra H and an exact indecomposable module category M over Rep(H), we explicitly compute the adjoint algebra A_M as an object in the category of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over H, and the space of class…

We investigate fundamental properties of adjoint functors to the precomposition functor in the category of strict polynomial functors.

Adjoint functors between the categories of crossed modules of dialgebras and Leibniz algebras are constructed. The well-known relations between the categories of Lie, Leibniz, associative algebras and dialgebras are extended to the…

Let $L$ be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of non-zero characteristic and let $S$ be a subalgebra. Suppose that $X$ is a finite set of finite-dimensional $L$-modules. Let $D$ be the category of all finite-dimensional…

We study a new class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras, which has important applications to the theory of integrable equations. The construction of these algebras is very similar to the one for automorphic functions and this motivates…

We show that direct summands of certain additive functors arising as bifunctors with a fixed argument in an abelian category are again of that form whenever the fixed argument has finite length or, more generally, satisfies the descending…

This paper is a fundamental study of comodules and contramodules over a comonoid in a symmetric closed monoidal category. We study both algebraic and homotopical aspects of them. Algebraically, we enrich the comodule and contramodule…

Morphisms in the linear category A of Jacobi diagrams in handlebodies give rise to interesting contravariant functors on the category gr of finitely-generated free groups, encoding part of the composition structure of the category A. These…

Let $k$ be a unital commutative ring. In this paper, we study polynomial functors from the category of finitely generated free nilpotent groups to the category of $k$-modules, focusing on comparisons across different nilpotency classes and…

Functors involved in Fontaine equivalences decompose as extension of scalars and taking of invariants between full subcategories of modules over a topological ring equipped with semi-linear continuous action of a topological monoid. We give…

We show that either of the two reasonable choices for the category of compact quantum groups is nice enough to allow for a plethora of universal constructions, all obtained "by abstract nonsense" via the adjoint functor theorem. This…

These notes briefly discuss finite-dimensional algebras with involutions, self-adjoint elements, and so on.
