The goal of the paper is to establish and to investigate a fully faithful embedding of the category of group operads into that of crossed interval groups. For this, we introduce a monoidal structure on the slice of the category of operads…
A general result relating skew monoidal structures and monads is proved. This is applied to quantum categories and bialgebroids. Ordinary categories are monads in the bicategory whose morphisms are spans between sets. Quantum categories…
Natural organized systems adapt to internal and external pressures and this happens at all levels of the abstraction hierarchy. Wanting to think clearly about this idea motivates our paper, and so the idea is elaborated extensively in the…
A symmetric monoidal category naturally arises as the mathematical structure that organizes physical systems, processes, and composition thereof, both sequentially and in parallel. This structure admits a purely graphical calculus. This…
Using fixed-point-free group actions, we set up a scheme to define nested classes of groups indexed over ordinals. Restricting to cellular actions on CW-complexes, we find new classes as well as new characterizations for some well-known…
For a finite abelian group action on a linear category, we study the dual action given by the character group acting on the category of equivariant objects. We prove that the groups of equivariant autoequivalences on these two categories…
We develop an alternative to the May-Thomason construction used to compare operad based infinite loop machines to that of Segal, which relies on weak products. Our construction has the advantage that it can be carried out in $Cat$, whereas…
This paper is the second in a series investigating cartesian closed varieties. In first of these, we showed that every non-degenerate finitary cartesian variety is a variety of sets equipped with an action by a Boolean algebra B and a…
The notion of a group G acting on a group X is well-known. Fixing X, the corresponding functor Act(-,X) is representable by the group [X] of automorphisms of X. The notion of G-action on X has been generalized to the context of a…
Given a presentably symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$ and an $\mathbb{E}_{\infty}$-monoid $M$, we introduce and classify twisted graded categories, which generalize the Day convolution structure on $\mathrm{Fun}(M,…
We give another proof of the fact that there is a dual equivalence between the $\infty$-category of monoidal $\infty$-categories with left adjoint oplax monoidal functors and that with right adjoint lax monoidal functors by constructing a…
We show that the sets of $d$-dimensional Latin hypercubes over a non-empty set $X$, with $d$ running over the positive integers, determine an operad which is isomorphic to a sub-operad of the endomorphism operad of $X$. We generalise this…
We extend Thomason's homotopy colimit construction in the category of permutative categories to categories of algebras over an arbitrary $\Cat$ operad and analyze its properties. We then use this homotopy colimit to prove that the…
We introduce a functor $\mathcal V\colon \mathrm{DblCat}_{h,nps}\to \mathrm{2Cat}_{h,nps}$ extracting from a double category a $2$-category whose objects and morphisms are the vertical morphisms and squares. We give a characterisation of…
In many situations one encounters an entity that resembles a monoid. It consists of a carrier and two operations that resemble a unit and a multiplication, subject to three equations that resemble associativity and left and right unital…
The basic data for a skew-monoidal category are the same as for a monoidal category, except that the constraint morphisms are no longer required to be invertible. The constraints are given a specific orientation and satisfy Mac Lane's five…
Liftable pairs of adjoint functors between braided monoidal categories in the sense of \cite{GV-OnTheDuality} provide auto-adjunctions between the associated categories of bialgebras. Motivated by finding interesting examples of such pairs,…
We introduce a new family of oriented manifolds with boundaries called the forest biassociahedra and forest bimultiplihedra, generalizing the standard biassociahedra. They are defined as moduli spaces of ascending-descending biforests and…
In some bicategories, the 1-cells are `morphisms' between the 0-cells, such as functors between categories, but in others they are `objects' over the 0-cells, such as bimodules, spans, distributors, or parametrized spectra. Many…
We prove a Morse index theorem for action functionals on paths that are allowed to reflect at a hypersurface (either in the interior or at the boundary of a manifold). Both fixed and periodic boundary conditions are treated.
