We provide an intrinsic definition of the fundamental group of a linear category over a ring as the automorphism group of the fibre functor on Galois coverings. If the universal covering exists, we prove that this group is isomorphic to the…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a Grothendieck category. We prove completeness of the Gorenstein injective cotorsion pair whenever $\mathcal{G}$ admits a set of Tate trivial generators, and show that having such generators is necessary for…

A locally coherent exact category is a finitely accessible additive category endowed with an exact structure in which the admissible short exact sequences are the directed colimits of admissible short exact sequences of finitely presentable…

A symmetric tensor category $\mathcal D$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ is incompressible if every tensor functor out of $\mathcal D$ is an embedding. E.g., the categories $Vec$ and $sVec$ of (super)vector spaces are incompressible.…

We study the category $\mathcal{A}$ of smooth semilinear representations of the infinite symmetric group over the field of rational functions in infinitely many variables. We establish a number of results about the structure of…

We give an example of a local normal domain $R$ such that the map of Grothendieck groups $\G(R) \to \G(\hat R)$ is not injective. We also raise some questions about the kernel of that map.

We give a natural notion of (non-exact) integral functor in the context of k-linear and graded categories. In this broader sense, we prove that every k-linear and graded functor is integral.

We define a linear structure on Grothendieck's arithmetic fundamental group $\pi_1(X, x)$ of a scheme $X$ defined over a field $k$ of characteristic 0. It allows us to link the existence of sections of the Galois group ${\rm Gal}(\bar k/k)$…

In the setting of step 2 sub-Finsler Carnot groups with strictly convex norms, we prove that all infinite geodesics are lines. It follows that for any other homogeneous distance, all geodesics are lines exactly when the induced norm on the…

We prove that every dualizable Grothendieck category whose dual is again a Grothendieck category satisfies Grothendieck's conditions Ab6 and Ab4*, by taking a module-theoretic approach based on the Gabriel-Popescu embedding. Combining this…

We introduce the notion of a definable category--a category equivalent to a full subcategory of a locally finitely presentable category that is closed under products, directed colimits and pure subobjects. Definable subcategories are…

We work in the category of locally definable groups in an o-minimal expansion of a field. Eleftheriou and Peterzil conjectured that every definably generated abelian connected group G in this category is a cover of a definable group. We…

Let k be any field. J-P. Serre proved that the spectrum of the Grothendieck ring of the k-representation category of a group is connected, and that the same holds in characteristic zero for the representation category of a Lie algebra over…

Categories over a field $k$ can be graded by different groups in a connected way; we consider morphisms between these gradings in order to define the fundamental grading group. We prove that this group is isomorphic to the fundamental group…

Given a nonempty set $\mathcal{L}$ of linear orders, we say that the linear order $L$ is $\mathcal{L}$-convex embeddable into the linear order $L'$ if it is possible to partition $L$ into convex sets indexed by some element of $\mathcal{L}$…

A representation of a finitely generated group into the projective general linear group is called convex co-compact if it has finite kernel and its image acts convex co-compactly on a properly convex domain in real projective space. We…

We apply the notion of a full convex subcategory to a wide range of algebras including tilted, quasi-tilted, shod, weakly shod, left and right glued, laura, simply connected, strongly simply connected, left supported, and cluster-tilted. In…

We develop some basic results about full amalgamation classes with intrinsic trascendentals. These classes have generics whose models may have finite subsets whose intrinsic closure is not contained in its algebraic closure. We will show…

When one studies the structure (e.g. graded ideals, graded subspaces, radicals, ...) or graded polynomial identities of graded algebras, the grading group itself does not play an important role, but can be replaced by any other group that…

We give a classification of all exact structures on a given idempotent complete additive category. Using this, we investigate the structure of an exact category with finitely many indecomposables. We show that the relation of the…
