For $\Cc$ a $G$-category, we give a condition on a diagram of simplicial sets indexed on $\Cc$ that allows us to define a natural $G$-action on its homotopy colimit, and in some other simplicial sets and categories defined in terms of the…

We introduce semidirect products of skew monoidal categories as a categorification of semidirect products of monoids (or, perhaps more familiarly, of groups). We also discuss how this construction interacts with monoidal, autonomous and…

Consider a locally compact group $G$ and a locally compact space $X$. A local right action of $G$ on $X$ is a continuous map $(x,p)\mapsto x\cdot p$ from an open subset $\Gamma$ of the Cartesian product $X\times G$ to $X$ satisfying certain…

We generalize the classical operad pair theory to a new model for $E_\infty$ ring spaces, which we call ring operad theory, and establish a connection with the classical operad pair theory, allowing the classical multiplicative infinite…

Adams operations are the natural transformations of the representation ring functor on the category of finite groups, and they are one way to describe the usual lambda-ring structure on these rings. From the representation-theoretical point…

We extend the arithmetic product of species of structures and symmetric sequences studied by Maia and Mendez and by Dwyer and Hess to coloured symmetric sequences and show that it determines a normal oplax monoidal structure on the…

We introduce the notion of the quotient of a category $C$ by the action $A : M \longrightarrow C \times C$ of a unital symmetric monoidal category $M$. The quotient $C/M$ is a 2-category. We prove its existence and uniqueness by first…

We show that for a monoidal model category $\M=(\ul{M}, \otimes, I)$, certain co-Segal $\M$-categories are equivalent to strict ones.

In this work we introduce partial and global actions of inverse categories on posets in two variants, fibred actions and actions by symmetries. We study in detail actions of an inverse category $\mathcal{C}$ on specific subposets of the…

We discuss what it means for a symmetric monoidal category to be a module over a commutative semiring category. Each of the categories of (1) cartesian monoidal categories, (2) semiadditive categories, and (3) connective spectra can be…

An object $P$ in a monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$ is called pivotal if its left dual and right dual objects are isomorphic. Given such an object and a choice of dual $Q$, we construct the category $\mathcal{C}(P,Q)$, of objects which…

Given an algebraic theory which can be described by a (possibly symmetric) operad $P$, we propose a definition of the \emph{weakening} (or \emph{categorification}) of the theory, in which equations that hold strictly for $P$-algebras hold…

In a triangulated symmetric monoidal closed category, there are natural dualities induced by the internal Hom. Given a monoidal functor f^* between two such catgories and adjoint couples (f^*,f_*) and (f_*,f^!), we prove the necessary…

Given an additive equational category with a closed symmetric monoidal structure and a potential dualizing object, we find sufficient conditions that the category of topological objects over that category has a good notion of full…

Bimonoidal categories are categorical analogues of rings without additive inverses. They have been actively studied in category theory, homotopy theory, and algebraic $K$-theory since around 1970. There is an abundance of new applications…

We explain the sense in which a warping on a monoidal category is the same as a pseudomonad on the corresponding one-object bicategory, and we describe extensions of this to the setting of skew monoidal categories: these are a…

If $X$ is a connected complex manifold with $d_X = 2$ that admits the holomorphic and transitive action of a (connected) Lie group $G$, then the action extends to an action of the complexification $\hat{G}$ of $G$ on $X$ except when either…

Fong developed `decorated cospans' to model various kinds of open systems: that is, systems with inputs and outputs. In this framework, open systems are seen as the morphisms of a category and can be composed as such, allowing larger open…

This paper investigates the use of symmetric monoidal closed (SMC) structure for representing syntax with variable binding, in particular for languages with linear aspects. In our setting, one first specifies an SMC theory T, which may…

We present the notion of "cyclic double multicategory", as a structure in which to organise multivariable adjunctions and mates. The classic example of a 2-variable adjunction is the hom/tensor/cotensor trio of functors; we generalise this…
