We introduce Manifold tensor categories, which make precise the notion of a tensor category with a manifold of simple objects. A basic example is the category of vector spaces graded by a Lie group. Unlike classic tensor category theory,…
We generalize a construction in [BW18] (arXiv:1610.09271) by showing that the tensor product of a based $\textbf{U}^{\imath}$-module and a based $\textbf{U}$-module is a based $\textbf{U}^{\imath}$-module. This is then used to formulate a…
We determine the composition factors of the tensor product $S(E)\otimes S(E)$ of two copies of the symmetric algebra of the natural module $E$ of a general linear group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. Our main…
We prove that a jointly conservative family of geometric functors between rigidly-compactly generated tensor triangulated categories induces a surjective map on Balmer spectra. From this we deduce a fiberwise criterion for Balmer's…
We present here definitions and constructions basic for the theory of monoidal and tensor categories. We provide references to the original sources, whenever possible. Group-theoretical categories are used as examples
We describe the structure of bimodules (over finite dimensional algebras) which have the property that the functor of tensoring with such a bimodule sends any module to a projective module. The main result is that all such bimodules are…
Tensor diagrams are a handy way to depict complicated relationships between objects in projective geometry. One of the simpler ones takes two copies of a $3\times 3$ matrix and computes its adjugate. In this paper, we give a geometric…
We introduce the notion of meromorphic tensor category and illustrate it in several examples. They include representations of quantum affine algebras, chiral algebras of Beilinson and Drinfeld, G-vertex algebras of Borcherds, and…
This is the second part of the paper (the first part is published in Jour. of AMS, vol.9, 1135--1170, q-alg/9508017). In the first part, we defined for every modular tensor category (MTC) inner products on the spaces of morphisms and proved…
We define and study the functorial spectrum for every triangulated tensor category. A reconstruction result for topologically noetherian schemes similar to (and based on) a theorem by Balmer is proved. An alternative proof of the…
We determine the combinatorics of transitive module categories over the monoidal category of finite dimensional $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-modules which arise when acting by the latter monoidal category on arbitrary simple $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-modules.…
This is a report on aspects of the theory and use of monoidal categories. The first section introduces the main concepts through the example of the category of vector spaces. String notation is explained and shown to lead naturally to a…
By a pointed vertex operator algebra (VOA) we mean one whose modules are all simple currents (i.e. invertible), e.g. lattice VOAs. This paper systematically explores the interplay between their orbifolds and tensor category theory. We begin…
Multisorted modules, equivalently representations of quivers, equivalently additive functors on preadditive categories, encompass a wide variety of additive structures. In addition, every module has a natural and useful multisorted…
We analyze the algebraic structure of the Connes fusion tensor product (CFTP) in the case of bi-finite Hilbert modules over a von Neumann algebra M. It turns out that all complications in its definition disappear if one uses the closely…
In this paper, first we introduce the notions of 3-tri-Leibniz algebras and embedding tensors on 3-Leibniz algebras. We show that an embedding tensor gives rise to a 3-tri-Leibniz algebra. Conversely, a 3-tri-Leibniz algebra gives rise to a…
We show how matrix problems (bimodule categories) can be used in studying triangulated categories. Then we apply the general technique to the classification of stable homotopy types of polyhedra, find out the "representation types" of such…
It is a classical theorem that the free product of ordered groups is orderable. In this note we show that, using a method of G. Bergman, an ordering of the free product can be constructed in a functorial manner, in the category of ordered…
For an arbitrary commutative ring k and t in k, we construct a 2-functor S_t which sends a tensor category to a new tensor category. By applying it to the representation category of a bialgebra we obtain a family of categories which…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a small category admitting binary products. We show that the whole theory of monoidal $\mathcal{S}$-fibered categories, which is customarily formulated in terms of the usual internal tensor product, can be rephrased…
