Much research has been done on structures equivalent to topological or simplicial groups. In this paper, we consider instead simplicial monoids. In particular, we show that the usual model category structure on the category of simplicial…
In this paper we propose an approach to homotopical algebra where the basic ingredient is a category with two classes of distinguished morphisms: strong and weak equivalences. These data determine the cofibrant objects by an extension…
Many recursive functions can be defined elegantly as the unique homomorphisms, between two algebras, two coalgebras, or one each, that are induced by some universal property of a distinguished structure. Besides the well-known applications…
We prove two results intended to streamline proofs about cellularity that pass through mutual algebraicity. First, we show that a countable structure $M$ is cellular if and only if $M$ is $\omega$-categorical and mutually algebraic. Second,…
In this chapter we survey some particular topics in category theory in a somewhat unconventional manner. Our main focus will be on monoidal categories, mostly symmetric ones, for which we propose a physical interpretation. These are…
When a category is equipped with a 2-cell structure it becomes a sesquicategory but not necessarily a 2-category. It is widely accepted that the latter property is equivalent to the middle interchange law. However, little attention has been…
We construct Quillen equivalences between the model categories of monoids (rings), modules and algebras over two Quillen equivalent model categories under certain conditions. This is a continuation of our earlier work where we established…
We build a model structure from the simple point of departure of a structured interval in a monoidal category - more generally, a structured cylinder and a structured co-cylinder in a category.
Usually a name of the category is inherited from the name of objects. However more relevant for a category of objects and morphisms is an algebra of morphisms. Therefore we prefer to say a category of graphs if every morphism is a graph. In…
We show that the category of simplicial sets is a co-reflective subcategory of the category of cubical sets with connections, with the inclusion given by a version of the straightening functor. We show that using the co-reflector, one can…
We introduce a formalism based on a combinatorial notion of cell complex subject to an inclusion-reversing duality operation. Our main goal is to open the way for a functorial definition of field theories in a context where no manifold or…
We adapt the notion of an algebraic theory to work in the setting of quasicategories developed recently by Joyal and Lurie. We develop the general theory at some length. We study one extended example in detail: the theory of commutative…
If all objects of a simplicial combinatorial model category \cat A are cofibrant, then there exists the homotopy model structure on the category of small functors $\sS^{\cat A}$, where the fibrant objects are homotopy functors, i.e.,…
We investigate the notion of associated graded coalgebra (algebra) of a bialgebra with respect to a subbialgebra (quotient bialgebra) and characterize those which are bialgebras of type one in the framework of abelian braided monoidal…
We present a method of constructing monoidal, braided monoidal, and symmetric monoidal bicategories from corresponding types of monoidal double categories that satisfy a lifting condition. Many important monoidal bicategories arise…
We show that any normal algebraic monoid is an extension of an abelian variety by a normal affine algebraic monoid. This extends (and builds on) Chevalley's structure theorem for algebraic groups.
We define $A_{\infty}$-structures -- algebras, coalgebras, modules, and comodules -- in an arbitrary monoidal DG category or bicategory by rewriting their definitions in terms of unbounded twisted complexes. We develop new notions of strong…
We define a bar construction endofunctor on the category of commutative augmented monoids $A$ of a symmetric monoidal category $\mathcal{V}$ endowed with a left adjoint monoidal functor $F:s\mathbf{Set}\to \mathcal{V}$. To do this, we need…
We consider the category of C*-algebras equipped with actions of a locally compact quantum group. We show that this category admits a monoidal structure satisfying certain natural conditions if and only if the group is quasitriangular. The…
A common technique for producing a new model category structure is to lift the fibrations and weak equivalences of an existing model structure along a right adjoint. Formally dual but technically much harder is to lift the cofibrations and…
