A category is adhesive if it has all pullbacks, all pushouts along monomorphisms, and all exactness conditions between pullbacks and pushouts along monomorphisms which hold in a topos. This condition can be modified by considering only…
Adhesive categories are categories which have pushouts with one leg a monomorphism, all pullbacks, and certain exactness conditions relating these pushouts and pullbacks. We give a new proof of the fact that every topos is adhesive. We also…
Several important types of categories have been shown to be both exact and coexact (in the sense of Barr). The first type consists of abelian categories, which due to their self-dual definition, can be seen to be both exact and coexact by…
A morphism of a category which is simultaneously an epimorphism and a monomorphism is called a bimorphism. In \cite{DR2} we gave characterizations of monomorphisms (resp. epimorphisms) in arbitrary pro-categories, pro-(C), where (C) has…
In a paper by Ford, it is claimed that to any pushout square of categories with all involved functors injective, there is associated an exact "Mayer--Vietoris" sequence of derived (co)limits. We provide a counter-example to this general…
A locally compact groupoid is said to be exact if its associated reduced crossed product functor is exact. In this paper, we establish some permanence properties of exactness, including generalizations of some known results for exact…
We develop the theory of exact completions of regular $\infty$-categories, and show that the $\infty$-categorical exact completion (resp. hypercompletion) of an abelian category recovers the connective half of its bounded (resp. unbounded)…
The inclusion of 1-categories into $(\infty,1)$-categories fails to preserve colimits in general, and pushouts in particular. In this note, we observe that if one functor in a span of categories belongs to a certain previously-identified…
Let $A$ be a regular category with pushouts of regular epimorphisms by regular epimorphism and $Reg(A)$ the category of regular epimorphisms in $A$. We prove that every regular epimorphism in $Reg(A)$ is an effective descent morphism if,…
We introduce the notion of a definable category--a category equivalent to a full subcategory of a locally finitely presentable category that is closed under products, directed colimits and pure subobjects. Definable subcategories are…
This paper is concerned with the taxonomy of finitely complete categories, based on 'matrix properties' - these are a particular type of exactness properties that can be represented by integer matrices. In particular, the main result of the…
With a simple generic approach, we develop a classification that encodes and measures the strength of completeness (or compactness) properties in various types of spaces and ordered structures. The approach also allows us to encode notions…
Some aspects of basic category theory are developed in a finitely complete category $\C$, endowed with two factorization systems which determine the same discrete objects and are linked by a simple reciprocal stability law. Resting on this…
We define fully exact module categories, a subclass of exact module categories over a finite braided tensor category that is stable under the relative Deligne product. In contrast, we demonstrate with examples in both zero and non-zero…
The paper focuses on investigating how certain relations between strict $n$-categories are preserved in a particular implementation of $(\infty,n)$-categories, given by saturated $n$-complicial sets. In this model, we show that the…
We prove that any weakly idempotent complete $d$-exact category is equivalent to a $d$-cluster tilting subcategory of a weakly idempotent complete exact category, and that any weakly idempotent complete algebraic $(d+2)$-angulated category…
We study full exact functors between triangulated categories. With some hypotheses on the source category we prove that it admits an orthogonal decomposition into two pieces such that the functor restricted to one of them is zero while the…
The paper is devoted to a categorical study of the category of probabilistic metric spaces. The study is based on an isomorphic description of the category of probabilistic metric spaces. The isomorphic description was obtained in [3] and…
We introduce the space of relative orders on a group and show that it is compact whenever the group is finitely generated. We use this to show that if $G$ is a finitely generated group acting by order preserving homeomorphism of on the…
A locally coherent exact category is a finitely accessible additive category endowed with an exact structure in which the admissible short exact sequences are the directed colimits of admissible short exact sequences of finitely presentable…
