We analyse some aspects of the notion of algebraic exponentiation introduced by the second author [16] and satisfied by the category of groups. We show how this notion provides a new approach to the categorical-algebraic question of the…

We introduce the idea of a geometric categorical Lie algebra action on derived categories of coherent sheaves. The main result is that such an action induces an action of the braid group associated to the Lie algebra. The same proof shows…

This article develops the theory of fusion categories acting on algebras. We will demonstrate that weak Hopf algebra actions on algebras correspond to specific actions of fusion categories. As an application of this theory, we introduce a…

The classical notion of twisted product is studied in the context of partial actions, in particular, we show that the globalization of a partial action is a twisted product. In addition, we establish conditions for the metrizability of…

We consider a smooth compact manifold with boundary, $M$, embedded in a smooth manifold of the same dimension on which an amenable group $\Gamma$ acts by isometries. We do not assume $M$ to be invariant under $\Gamma$. This results in a…

As a generalization of the Exel-Pardo's notion of self-similar graph, we introduce self-similar group actions on ultragraphs and their $C^*$-algebras. We then approach to the $C^*$-algebras by inverse semigroup and tight groupoid models.

A "minimal" generalization of Quantum Mechanics is proposed, where the Lagrangian or the action functional is a mapping from the (classical) states of a system to the Lie algebra of a general compact Lie group, and the wave function takes…

We present an intrinsic and concrete development of the subdivision of small categories, give some simple examples and derive its fundamental properties. As an application, we deduce an alternative way to compare the homotopy categories of…

We make explicit in terms of categories a number of statements from the theory of partial inner product spaces (PIP spaces) and operators on them. In particular, we construct sheaves and cosheaves of operators on certain PIP spaces of…

An algebraic formalism for the study of interacting particle systems is developed. Particle processes are described in terms of the category theory. The problem for the unique description of these processes is discussed. Categories relevant…

In arXiv:math/0603621 we introduced the notion of a partial translation $C^*$-algebra for a discrete metric space. Here we demonstrate that several important classical $C^*$-algebras and extensions arise naturally by considering partial…

The relative graph $C^*$-algebras introduced by Muhly and Tomforde are generalizations of both graph algebras and their Toeplitz extensions. For an arbitrary graph $E$ and a subset $R$ of the set of regular vertices of $E$ we show that the…

In this paper we extend the constructions of Boava and Exel to present the C*-algebra associated with an injective endomorphism of a group with finite cokernel as a partial group algebra and consequently as a partial crossed product. With…

In this paper, we construct a semigroup associated to an action of countable discrete group on a compact Hausdorff space, that can be regarded as a higher dimensional generalization of the type semigroup. Using this generalized type…

We study topological properties of semi-group actions on the circle by orientation-preserving homeomorhisms. We prove that a generic action either possesses a forward-invariant interval-domain (i.e. a finite union of disjoint circle arcs),…

Given a variety with a finite group action, we compare its equivariant categorical measure, that is, the categorical measure of the corresponding quotient stack, and the categorical measure of the extended quotient. Using weak factorization…
