The primary goal of this paper is to abstract notions, results and constructions from the theory of categories to the broader setting of plots. Loosely speaking, a plot can be thought of as a non-associative non-unital category with a…

Recall that the definition of the $K$-theory of an object C (e.g., a ring or a space) has the following pattern. One first associates to the object C a category A_C that has a suitable structure (exact, Waldhausen, symmetric monoidal, ...).…

We prove that for any presentably symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathcal{V}$, the $\infty$-category $\mathbf{Mod}_\mathcal{V}(\mathbf{Pr}^{\mathrm{L}})^{\mathrm{dbl}}$ of dualizable presentable $\mathcal{V}$-modules and internal…

One of the major advantages of $\infty$-category theory over classical $1$-category theory is its robust and homotopically meaningful framework for taking (co)limits of diagrams of $\infty$-categories. However, it is both subtle and crucial…

In this paper, we use the language of monads, comonads and Eilenberg-Moore categories to describe a categorical framework for $A_\infty$-algebras and $A_\infty$-coalgebras, as well as $A_\infty$-modules and $A_\infty$-comodules over them…

We compare various different definitions of "the category of smooth objects". The definitions compared are due to Chen, Fr\"olicher, Sikorski, Smith, and Souriau. The method of comparison is to construct functors between the categories that…

A stable model category is a setting for homotopy theory where the suspension functor is invertible. The prototypical examples are the category of spectra in the sense of stable homotopy theory and the category of unbounded chain complexes…

In this work we provide a model-independent notion of local fibrations of $(\infty,2)$-categories which generalises the well-known theory of locally coCartesian fibrations of $(\infty,1)$-categories. Based on previous work, we construct a…

We extend Lurie's definition of enriched $\infty$-categories to notions of left enriched, right enriched and bienriched $\infty$-categories, which generalize the concepts of closed left tensored, right tensored and bitensored…

In this paper we study compact closed categories within the context of homotopical algebra. We construct two new model category structures by localizing two (Quillen equivalent) model categories of symmetric monoidal categories with the…

In [Joyal] where the category $\Theta$ is first defined it is noted that the dimensional shift on $\Theta$ suggests an elegant presentation of the unreduced suspension on cellular sets. In this note we prove that the reduced suspension…

We construct an adjunction between $m$-categories internal to $(\infty,n)$-categories, called $(n,m)$-double $\infty$-categories, and filtrations $A_0\to \dots\to A_m$ where for all $i<m$, $A_i$ is a $(n+i)$-category. We show that this…

The purpose of this note is to resolve a conjecture in arXiv:2307.00442(4), regarding the initial algebra for the enrichment endofunctor $(-)\mathbf{Cat}$ over general symmetric monoidal $(\infty, 1)$-categories. We prove that Ad\'amek's…

We develop foundations for oriented category theory, an extension of $(\infty,\infty)$-category theory obtained by systematic usage of the Gray tensor product, in order to study lax phenomena in higher category theory. As categorical…

This paper lays some of the foundations for working with not-necessarily-commutative bialgebras and their categories of comodules in $\infty$-categories. We prove that the categories of comodules and modules over a bialgebra always admit…

We firstly introduce some key concepts in category theory, such as quotient category, completion of limits, $\mathrm{Mor}$ category, and so on; then give the concept of topology algebras and sheaves, and discuss how to restore the structue…

We study the partially wrapped Fukaya category of a surface with boundary with an action of a group of order two. Inspired by skew-group algebras and categories, we define the notion of a skew-group $A_\infty$-category and let it play the…

To paraphrase, part I constructs a bundle of $A _{\infty}$ categories given the input of a Hamiltonian fibration over a smooth manifold. Here we show that this bundle is generally non-trivial by a sample computation. One principal…
