The class of convex sets that admit approximations as Minkowski sum of a compact convex set and a closed convex cone in the Hausdorff distance is introduced. These sets are called approximately Motzkin-decomposable and generalize the notion…

Many kinds of categorical structure require the existence of finite limits, of colimits of some specified type, and of "exactness" conditions between the finite limits and the specified colimits. Some examples are the notions of regular, or…

We obtain a complete characterization of \emph{topologically exact patterns} on \emph{triods}. Based on their \emph{rotation number} $\rho$, these \emph{exact patterns} are grouped into three classes: \emph{slow} ($\rho < \frac{1}{3}$),…

For a category $\mathcal E$ with finite limits and well-behaved countable coproducts, we construct a model structure, called the effective model structure, on the category of simplicial objects in $\mathcal E$, generalising the Kan--Quillen…

Let $\&$ be a continuous triangular norm on the unit interval $[0,1]$ and $\mathbf{A}$ be a cartesian closed and stable subconstruct of the category consisting of all real-enriched categories. Firstly, it is shown that the category…

We introduce the notion of a contractible subshift. This is a strengthening of the notion of strong irreducibility, where we require that the gluings are given by a block map. We show that a subshift is a retract of a full shift if and only…

Given a CAT(0) cube complex X, we show that if Aut(X) $\neq$ Isom(X) then there exists a full subcomplex of X which decomposes as a product with $\mathbb{R}^n$. As applications, we prove that if X is $\delta$-hyperbolic, cocompact and…

We discuss the two closely related, but different concepts of weak and almost weak stability for the powers of a contraction on a separable Hilbert space. Extending Halmos' and Rohlin's theorems in ergodic theory as a model, we show that…

For a compact convex subset $K $ of a locally convex Hausdorff space, a measurement on $A(K)$ is a finite family of positive elements in $A(K)$ normalized to the unit constant $1_K$, where $A(K)$ denotes the set of continuous real affine…

In this paper we introduce the notion of "strong $n$-perfect rings" which is in some way a generalization of the notion of "$n$-perfect rings". We are mainly concerned with those class of rings in the context of pullbacks. Also we exhibit a…

We show that in complete metric spaces, $4$-hyperconvexity is equivalent to finite hyperconvexity. Moreover, every complete, almost $n$-hyperconvex metric space is $n$-hyperconvex. This generalizes among others results of Lindenstrauss and…

Suppose given a Frobenius category E, i.e. an exact category with a big enough subcategory B of bijectives. Let_E_ := E/B denote its classical stable category. For example, we may take E to be the category of complexes C(A) with entries in…

In this paper, we prove that if $\kappa$ is a almost strongly compact cardinal, then any MAEC with L\"owenheim-Skolem number below $\kappa$ is $<\kappa$-d-tame.

We show that every braided monoidal category arises as $\End(I)$ for a weak unit $I$ in an otherwise completely strict monoidal 2-category. This implies a version of Simpson's weak-unit conjecture in dimension 3, namely that one-object…

We prove that for every ergodic invariant measure with positive entropy of a continuous map on a compact metric space there is $\delta>0$ such that the dynamical $\delta$-balls have measure zero. We use this property to prove, for instance,…

We consider two preorder-enriched categories of ordered PCAs: $\mathsf{OPCA}$, where the arrows are functional morphisms, and $\mathsf{PCA}$, where the arrows are applicative morphisms. We show that $\mathsf{OPCA}$ has small products and…

We consider the ordinary category Span(C) of (isomorphism classes of) spans of morphisms in a category C with finite limits as needed, composed horizontally via pullback, and give a general criterion for a quotient of Span(C) to be an…

In this work, it is shown that the category $\mathsf{BXMod/R}$ of braided crossed modules over a fixed commutative algebra $R$ is an exact category in the sense of Barr.

We consider a countably generated and uniformly closed algebra of bounded functions. We assume that there is a lower semicontinuous, with respect to the supremum norm, quadratic form and that normal contractions operate in a certain sense.…

For a compact smooth manifold $M$ (with boundary) we prove that the topological rank of the diffeomorphism group Diff$_0^k(M)$ is finite for all $k\geq 1$. This extends a result from [2] where the same claim is proved in the special case of…
