We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the partial actions of a groupoid $G$ on a set $X$ and the inverse semigroupoid actions of the Exel's inverse semigroupoid $S(G)$ on $X$. We also define inverse semigroupoid…

In this paper, we introduce a new category of simplicial effects that extends the categories of effect algebras and their multi-object counterpart, effect algebroids. Our approach is based on relaxing the associativity condition satisfied…

We introduce and study actions of Fell bundles over discrete groups on Hilbert bundles. Many examples of such actions are presented. We discuss the connection with positive definite bundle maps between Fell bundles, culminating in the…

There are many examples of `binary' partial groups in the literature: sets equipped an identity and a partially-defined binary operation, such that each element admits an inverse. We show that many of these may be regarded as partial groups…

We show how the categorial approach to inverse monoids can be described as a certain endofunctor (which we call the partialization functor) of some category. In this paper we show that this functor can be used to obtain several recently…

The notion of associativity (which differs from the straightforward generalization of the usual associativity given by the move of parentheses in the relevant expression) for operations of high arity is introduced. It is proved that the…

We give the basic definitions of group actions on (algebraic) stacks, and prove the existence of fixed points and quotients as (algebraic) stacks.

Given a graded ample Hausdorff groupoid, we realise its graded Steinberg algebra as a partial skew inverse semigroup ring. We use this to show that for a partial action of a discrete group on a locally compact Hausdorff topological space,…

We introduce a new notion of twisted actions of inverse semigroups and show that they correspond bijectively to certain regular Fell bundles over inverse semigroups, yielding in this way a structure classification of such bundles. These…

In this paper we define a new product-like binary operation on directed graphs, and we discuss some of its properties. We also briefly discuss its application in constructing the subtyping relation in generic nominally-typed object-oriented…

In this paper we introduce the notion of a categorical Mackey functor. This categorical notion allows us to obtain new Mackey functors by passing to Quillen's $K$-theory of the corresponding abelian categories. In the case of an action by…

This paper constructs a foundation to analyze semi-group actions, group actions, filtrations, and decompositions in a unified manner. In fact, though the studies of decomposition can be applied to foliated spaces and group actions, they can…

We study a simple subclass of free actions of non-Abelian groups on unital C*-algebras, namely cleft actions. These are characterized by the fact that the associated noncommutative vector bundles are trivial. In particular, we provide a…

Projectivity and injectivity are fundamental notions in category theory. We consider natural weakenings termed semiprojectivity and semiinjectivity, and study these concepts in different categories. For example, in the category of metric…

We prove that many of the recently-constructed algebras and categories which appear in categorification can be equipped with an action of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ by derivations. The $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ representations which appear are filtered by…

A generalization of exterior calculus is considered by allowing the partial derivatives in the exterior derivative to assume fractional orders. That is, a fractional exterior derivative is defined. This is found to generate new vector…

In the present article, a new method for the evaluation of fractional derivatives of arbitrary real order is proposed. Numerous but inequivalent formulations have been given in the past. Some of them exhibit unsatisfactory properties such…

Given a vector space with an action of a semi-simple Lie algebra, we can try to "categorify" this representation, which means finding a category where the generators of the Lie algebra act by functors. Such categorical representations arise…

A restriction category is an abstract formulation for a category of partial maps, defined in terms of certain specified idempotents called the restriction idempotents. All categories of partial maps are restriction categories; conversely, a…

Partial representations of Hopf algebras were motivated by the theory of partial representations of groups. Alves, Batista e Vercruysse introduced partial representations of a Hopf algebra and showed that, as in the case of partial groups…
