Categorial actions of braided tensor categories are defined and shown to be the right framework for a discussion of the categorial structure related to the group of braids in the cylinder. A Kauffman polynomial of links in the solid torus…
For each braided category $\mathcal{C}$ we show that, under mild hypotheses, there is an associated category of "half braided algebras" and their bimodules internal to $\mathcal{C}$ which is not only monoidal but even braided and balanced.…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring If $\mathcal{C}_1$ and $\mathcal{C}_2$ are $R$-linear triangulated categories then we can give an obvious triangulated structure on $\mathcal{C} = \mathcal{C}_1 \oplus \mathcal{C}_2$ where $Hom_\mathcal{C}(U,…
We introduce, for a symmetric fusion category $\mathcal{A}$ with Drinfeld centre $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A})$, the notion of $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A})$-crossed braided tensor category. These are categories that are enriched over…
We define the orbit category for transitive topological groupoids and their equivariant CW-complexes. By using these constructions we define equivariant Bredon homology and cohomology for actions of transitive topological groupoids. We show…
With any even Hecke symmetry R (that is a Hecke type solution of the Yang-Baxter equation) we associate a quasitensor category. We formulate a condition on R implying that the constructed category is rigid and its commutativity isomorphisms…
We introduce rigid algebras, a generalization of rigid categories to arbitrary symmetric monoidal $(\infty,2)$-categories. We develop their general theory, showing in particular that the a priori $(\infty,2)$-category of rigid algebras is…
The disjoint union of mapping class groups of surfaces forms a braided monoidal category $\mathcal M$, as the disjoint union of the braid groups $\mathcal B$ does. We give a concrete, and geometric meaning of the braiding $\beta_{r,s}$ in…
We introduce the condensed fiber product of two $G$-crossed braided fusion categories, generalizing existing constructions in the literature. We show that this product is closely related to the cohomological construction known as zesting.…
We set up a fibred categorical theory of obstruction and classification of morphisms that specializes to the one of monoidal functors between categorical groups and also to the Schreier-Mac Lane theory of group extensions. Further…
The notion of reparametrization category is incorrectly axiomatized and it must be adjusted. It is proved that for a general reparametrization category $\mathcal{P}$, the tensor product of $\mathcal{P}$-spaces yields a biclosed semimonoidal…
We prove that if $R$ is a G-ring then every fully dualizable $R$-linear cocomplete category is equivalent to a twist by a $\mathbb{G}_m$-gerbe of the category of modules over a finite \'etale $R$-algebra. We also show that this holds more…
We introduce the notion of $(G, \Gamma)$-crossed action on a tensor category, where $(G, \Gamma)$ is a matched pair of finite groups. A tensor category is called a $(G, \Gamma)$-crossed tensor category if it is endowed with a $(G,…
Dehn twists around simple closed curves in oriented surfaces satisfy the braid relations. This gives rise to a group theoretic from the braid group to the mapping class group. We prove here that this map is trivial in stable homology with…
We give an interpretation of the Brauer group of a purely inseparable extension of exponent 1, in terms of restricted Lie-Rinehart cohomology. In particular, we define and study the category $p$-$\rm{LR}(A)$ of restricted Lie-Rinehart…
In this paper we study the categories of braided categorical associative algebras and braided crossed modules of associative algebras and we relate these structures with the categories of braided categorical Lie algebras and braided crossed…
Braided deformations of (symmetric) monoidal categories are related to Vassiliev theory by a direct generalization of well-known results relating "quantum" knot invariants to Vassiliev invariants. The deformation theory of braidings is…
The relation between crossed product and $H$-Galois extension in braided tensor category ${\cal C}$ with equivalisers and coequivalisers is established. That is, it is shown that if there exist an equivaliser and a coequivaliser for any two…
We observe that any regular Lie groupoid G over an manifold M fits into an extension $K \to G \to E$ of a foliation groupoid E by a bundle of connected Lie groups K. If $\FF$ is the foliation on M given by the orbits of E and T is a…
We offer a solution to the long-standing problem of group completing within the context of rig categories (also known as bimonoidal categories). Given a rig category R we construct a natural additive group completion R' that retains the…
