In some bicategories, the 1-cells are `morphisms' between the 0-cells, such as functors between categories, but in others they are `objects' over the 0-cells, such as bimodules, spans, distributors, or parametrized spectra. Many…

We prove 2-categorical conservativity for any {0,T}-free fragment of MALL over its corresponding intuitionistic version: that is, that the universal map from a closed symmetric monoidal category to the *-autonomous category that it freely…

We propose to extend ``invertibility'' to ``regularity'' for categories in general abstract algebraic manner. Higher regularity conditions and ``semicommutative'' diagrams are introduced. Distinction between commutative and…

Motivated by the analysis and geometry of metric-measure structures in infinite dimensions, we study the category of extended metric-topological spaces, along with many of its distinguished subcategories (such as the one of compact spaces).…

A duoidal category is a category equipped with two monoidal structures in which one is (op)lax monoidal with respect to the other. In this paper we introduce duoidal $\infty$-categories which are counterparts of duoidal categories in the…

We investigate several categories related to transition structures, using a mixture of algebraic and topological methods. We show how two such categories are connected by a contravariant adjunction. This is the most detailed of a family of…

We prove an unstraightening result for lax transformations between functors from an arbitrary $(\infty,2)$-category to that of $(\infty,2)$-categories. We apply this to study partially (op)lax and weighted (co)limits, giving fibrational…

This paper investigates the interplay between properties of a topological space $X$, in particular of its natural order, and properties of the lax comma category $\mathsf{Top} \Downarrow X$, where $\mathsf{Top}$ denotes the category of…

Stefanich generalized the notion of (locally) presentable $(\infty, 1)$-category to the notion of presentable $(\infty, n)$-category. We give a new description based on the new notion of $\kappa$-compactly generated $(\infty, n)$-category,…

In this paper we describe a comma 2-comonad on the 2-category whose objects are functors, 1-cell are colax squares and 2-cells are their transformations. We give a complete description of the Eilenberg-Moore 2-category of colax coalgebras,…

We introduce notions of lax semiadditive and lax additive $(\infty,2)$-categories, categorifying the classical notions of semiadditive and additive 1-categories. To establish a well-behaved axiomatic framework, we develop a calculus of lax…

We introduce a candidate for the inner hom for $Dbl^{st}_{lx}$, the category of strict double categories and lax double functors, and characterize a lax double functor into it obtaining a lax double quasi-functor. The latter consists of a…

We systematically develop the theory of definable functors between compactly generated triangulated categories. Such functors preserve pure triangles, pure injective objects, and definable subcategories, and as such appear in a wide range…

We use the terms "$\infty$-categories" and "$\infty$-functors" to mean the objects and morphisms in an "$\infty$-cosmos." Quasi-categories, Segal categories, complete Segal spaces, naturally marked simplicial sets, iterated complete Segal…

Many kinds of categorical structure require the existence of finite limits, of colimits of some specified type, and of "exactness" conditions between the finite limits and the specified colimits. Some examples are the notions of regular, or…

Inspired by the intrinsic formality of graded algebras, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for strongly uniqueness of DG-enhancements. This approach offers a generalization to linearity over any commutative ring. In particular,…
