Let $R$ denote a 2-fir. The notions of F-independence and algebraic subsets of R are defined. The decomposition of an algebraic subset into similarity classes gives a simple way of translating the F-independence in terms of dimension of…

We introduce the basic notions and present examples and results on Lie categories -- categories internal to the category of smooth manifolds. Demonstrating how the units of a Lie category $\mathcal C$ dictate the behavior of its invertible…

Let $\k$ be a commutative ring, and let $(A,\mfrak{a})$ be an adic ring which is a $\k$-algebra. We study complete and torsion versions of the derived Hochschild homology and cohomology functors of $A$ over $\k$. To do this, we first…

The project of Greenlees et al. on understanding rational G-spectra in terms of algebraic categories has had many successes, classifying rational G-spectra for finite groups, SO(2), O(2), SO(3), free and cofree G-spectra as well as rational…

Tensor products are ubiquitous in algebra, topology, logic and category theory. The present paper explores the monoidal structure of the category $\mathcal{V}\hspace{0pt}\mbox{-}\hspace{.5pt}\mathbf{Sup}$ of separated cocomplete enriched…

For a classical group $G$ over a field $F$ together with a finite-order automorphism $\theta$ that acts compatibly on $F$, we describe the fixed point subgroup of $\theta$ on $G$ and the eigenspaces of $\theta$ on the Lie algebra…

Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $d$ over $F_q$, a finite field of $q$ elements, and let $G \le GL(V) \cong GL_d(q)$ be a linear group. A base of $G$ is a set of vectors whose pointwise stabiliser in $G$ is trivial. We prove that if…

If $N \subset \R$ is a separable II$_1$-factor, the space $\Hom(N,\R)$ of unitary equivalence classes of unital *-homomorphisms $N \to \R$ is shown to have a surprisingly rich structure. If $N$ is not hyperfinite, $\Hom(N,\R)$ is an…

Let G be a finite group. Given a finite G-set X and a modular tensor category C, we construct a weak G-equivariant fusion category, called the permutation equivariant tensor category. The construction is geometric and uses the formalism of…

Let G be a free group in a variety of groups, but G is not absolutely free. We prove that the group of automorphisms Aut(G) is linear iff G is a virtually nilpotent group.

For each $n \in \mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\}$, diagrammatic sets admit a model structure whose fibrant objects are the diagrammatic $(\infty, n)$- categories. They also support a notion of Gray product given by the Day convolution of a…

In this paper, we study the Coxeter transformation of the derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth complete varieties. We first obtain that if the rank of the Grothendieck group is finite, say $m$, then its characteristic…

A linear Gr-category is a category of finite-dimensional vector spaces graded by a finite group together with natural tensor product. We classify the braided monoidal structures of a class of linear Gr-categories via explicit computations…

We provide a complete set of identities for the symmetric monoidal category, TOF, generated by the Toffoli gate and computational ancillary bits. We do so by demonstrating that the functor which evaluates circuits on total points, is an…

Let $k$ be a field and let $G$ be an affine algebraic group over $k$. Call a $G$-torsor weakly versal for a class of $k$-schemes $\cal C$ if it specializes to every $G$-torsor over a scheme in $\cal C$. A recent result of the first author,…

It is well known that if two finite groups have the same symmetric tensor categories of representations over C, then they are isomorphic. We study the following question: when do two finite groups G1,G2 have the same tensor categories of…

Let $n>1$ and let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity $1\ne 0$ and $R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]^n$ the set of all $n$-tuples of polynomials of the form $(f_1,\ldots,f_n),$ where $f_1,\ldots,f_n\in R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We call these $n$-tuples…

We point out that double categories provide a natural setting for modular functors obtained by a (bicategorical) string-net construction: The source of the modular functor -- which is now a double functor -- is a symmetric monoidal double…

For a group $G$ and a 4-cocycle $\pi\in Z^{4}(G,\mathbb{k}^{\times})$, a $\pi$-anomalous action of $G$ on a linear monoidal category $C$ is a linear monoidal 2-functor between 3-groups $3\text{-Gr}(G,\pi)\rightarrow \text{2-Aut}_\otimes(C)$…

It is shown that every concretizable category can be fully embedded into the category of accessible set functors and natural transformations.
