By the Lefschetz fixed point theorem, if an endomorphism of a topological space is fixed-point-free, then its Lefschetz number vanishes. This necessary condition is not usually sufficient, however; for that we need a refinement of the…
We show how one can twist the definition of Hochschild homology of an algebra or a DG algebra by inserting a possibly non-additive trace functor. We then prove that many of the usual properties of Hochschild homology survive such a…
We prove descent theorems for semiorthogonal decompositions using techniques from derived algebraic geometry. Our methods allow us to capture more general filtrations of derived categories and even marked filtrations, where one descends not…
We define and study the notion of a locally bounded enriched category over a (locally bounded) symmetric monoidal closed category, generalizing the locally bounded ordinary categories of Freyd and Kelly. In addition to proving several…
Working in the framework of $(T, V)$-categories, for a symmetric monoidal closed category $V$ and a (not necessarily cartesian) monad $T$, we present a common account to the study of ordered compact Hausdorff spaces and stably compact…
For every symmetrically normed ideal $\mathcal{E}$ of compact operators, we give a criterion for the existence of a continuous singular trace on $\mathcal{E}$. We also give a criterion for the existence of a continuous singular trace on…
This paper lays the groundwork for the theory of categorical diagonalization. Given a diagonalizable operator, tools in linear algebra (such as Lagrange interpolation) allow one to construct a collection of idempotents which project to each…
Restriction categories provide a categorical framework for partiality. In this paper, we introduce three new categorical theories for partiality: local categories, partial categories, and inclusion categories. The objects of a local…
The category Set_* of sets and partial functions is well-known to be traced monoidal, meaning that a partial function S+U -/-> T+U can be coherently transformed into a partial function S -/-> T. This transformation is generally described in…
Variations on the notions of Reedy model structures and projective model structures on categories of diagrams in a model category are introduced. These allow one to choose only a subset of the entries when defining weak equivalences, or to…
Representations of a group $G$ in vector spaces over a field $K$ form a category. One can reconstruct the given group $G$ from its representations to vector spaces as the full group of monoidal automorphisms of the underlying functor. This…
Let $H$ be a positive semi-definite matrix partitioned in $\beta\times \beta$ Hermitian blocks, $H=[A_{s,t}]$, $1\le s,t,\le \beta$. Then, for all symmetric norms, {equation*} \| H \| \le \| \sum_{s=1}^{\beta} A_{s,s} \|. {equation*} The…
There is a long history of representing a quantum state using a quasi-probability distribution: a distribution allowing negative values. In this paper we extend such representations to deal with quantum channels. The result is a convex,…
We extend the usual process-theoretic view on locality and causality in subsystems (based on the tensor product case) to general quantum systems (i.e.\ possibly non-factor, finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras). To do so, we introduce a…
We compare the (horizontal) trace of the affine Hecke category with the elliptic Hall algebra, thus obtaining an "affine" version of the construction of [14]. Explicitly, we show that the aforementioned trace is generated by the objects…
This paper is mainly about an early result that the orbifold stack is globally representable via some $ \infty $-categorical techniques.
Effectful categories have two classes of morphisms: pure morphisms, which form a monoidal category; and effectful morphisms, which can only be combined monoidally with central morphisms (such as the pure ones), forming a premonoidal…
We define the affinization of an arbitrary monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$, corresponding to the category of $\mathcal{C}$-diagrams on the cylinder. We also give an alternative characterization in terms of adjoining dot generators to…
We consider the classification problem for several classes of countable structures which are "vertex-transitive", meaning that the automorphism group acts transitively on the elements. (This is sometimes called homogeneous.) We show that…
We introduce a theory for encoding and manipulating algebraic data on categories via $\textit{concentration structures}$, which are equivalence relations on morphisms that satisfy certain axioms. For any category with a concentration…
