A groupoid is a small category in which each morphism has an inverse. A topological groupoid is a groupoid in which both sets of objects and morphisms have topologies such that all groupoid structure maps are continuous. The notion of…
We study projective manifolds with nonamenable and non-residually finite fundamental groups. We generalize the uniformization theorem of our earlier note. We generalize a classical theorem of Maltsev about finitely generated subgroups of…
We generalize Franz' independence in tensor categories with inclusions from two morphisms (which represent generalized random variables) to arbitrary ordered families of morphisms. We will see that this only works consistently if the unit…
We extend the Kechris--Pestov--Todor\v{c}evi\'c correspondence to weak Fra\"{\i}ss\'{e} categories and automorphism groups of generic objects. The new ingredient is the weak Ramsey property. We demonstrate the theory on several examples…
Analytic properties of Graham-Witten anomalies are considered. Weyl anomalies according to their analytic properties are of type A (coming from $\delta$-singularities in correlators of several energy-momentum tensors) or of type B…
Normal subgroups and there properties for finite and infinite iterated wreath products $S_{n_1}\wr \ldots \wr S_{n_m}$, $n, m \in \mathbb{N}$ are founded. The special classes of normal subgroups and there orders are investigated. Special…
In this paper we introduce a notion of Mal'tsev object, and the dual notion of co-Mal'tsev object, in a general category. In particular, a category $\mathbb{C}$ is a Mal'tsev category if and only if every object in $\mathbb{C}$ is a…
We first show that every group-theoretical category is graded by a certain double coset ring. As a consequence, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a group-theoretical category to be nilpotent. We then give an explicit…
Let $L_n$ denote the Dwyer-Kan localization of the category of weak n-categories divided by the n-equivalences. We propose a list of properties that this simplicial category is likely to have, and conjecture that these properties…
We define a notion of weak omega-category internal to a model of Martin-L\"of type theory, and prove that each type bears a canonical weak omega-category structure obtained from the tower of iterated identity types over that type. We show…
We introduce a dependent type theory whose models are weak {\omega}-categories, generalizing Brunerie's definition of {\omega}-groupoids. Our type theory is based on the definition of {\omega}-categories given by Maltsiniotis, himself…
Bialgebroids, separable bialgebroids, and weak Hopf algebras are compared from a categorical point of view. Then properties of weak Hopf algebras and their applications to finite index and finite depth inclusions of von Neumann algebras are…
We generalize the basic results of Vinberg's \theta-groups, or periodically graded reductive Lie algebras, to fields of good positive characteristic. To this end we clarify the relationship between the little Weyl group and the (standard)…
We consider whether given a simple, finite description of a group in the form of an algorithm, it is possible to algorithmically determine if the corresponding group has some specified property or not. When there is such an algorithm, we…
The first and shorter part of this thesis deals with the structural assumption of invertibility in a Lie groupoid. When this assumption is dropped, we obtain the notion of a Lie category: a small category, endowed with a compatible…
In this article we study a generalization of the n-inner product which we name weak n-inner product. As particular case we consider the n-iterated 2-inner product and we give its representation in terms of the standard k-inner products, k<=…
We introduce the notion of Mal'tsev reflection which allows us to set up a partial notion of Mal'tsevness with respect to a class $\Sigma$ of split epimorphisms stable under pullback and containing the isomorphisms, and we investigate what…
A group is Markov if it admits a prefix-closed regular language of unique representatives with respect to some generating set, and strongly Markov if it admits such a language of unique minimal-length representatives over every generating…
We generalize presentations of the fundamental group of discriminant complements and arrive at a class of presentations associated naturally with words in the free monoid of the alphabet $\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_{n-1}$. Our study addresses…
Normal monomorphisms in the sense of Bourn describe the equivalence classes of an internal equivalence relation. Although the definition is given in the fairly general setting of a category with finite limits, later investigations on this…
