We give interpretations of some known key agreement protocols in the framework of category theory and in this way we give a method of constructing of many new key agreement protocols.

Epistemic uncertainty arises in lack of complete knowledge about the state of a system. There are multiple mathematical frameworks for measuring such uncertainty quantitatively, often referred to as imprecise probability theories. Inspired…

We explore the category of internal categories in the usual category of (right) group-sets, whose objects are referred to as categorified group-sets. More precisely, we develop a new Burnside theory, where the equivalence relation between…

We develop foundations for the category theory of $\infty$-categories parametrized by a base $\infty$-category. Our main contribution is a theory of indexed homotopy limits and colimits, which specializes to a theory of $G$-colimits for $G$…

We introduce the notion of an enriched set, as an abstraction of enriched categories, and a category of enriched sets. The set of enriched sets is itself described as a set enriched over the category of enriched sets. We introduce a method…

A category which generalises to higher dimensions many of the features of the Temperley-Lieb category is introduced.

An $\infty$-cosmos is a setting in which to develop the formal category theory of $(\infty,1)$-categories. In this paper, we explore a few atypical examples of $\infty$-cosmoi whose objects are 2-categories or bicategories rather than…

In this paper, we define indexed type theories which are related to indexed ($\infty$-)categories in the same way as (homotopy) type theories are related to ($\infty$-)categories. We define several standard constructions for such theories…

We introduce the notion of weighted limit in an arbitrary quasi-category, suitably generalizing ordinary limits in a quasi-category, and classical weighted limits in an ordinary category. This is accomplished by generalizing Joyal's…

We use type-theoretic techniques to present an algebraic theory of $\infty$-categories with strict units. Starting with a known type-theoretic presentation of fully weak $\infty$-categories, in which terms denote valid operations, we extend…

We define and study notions of comprehension in $(\infty,1)$-category theory. In essence, we do so by implementing B\'{e}nabou's foundations of naive category theory in a univalent meta-theory. In particular, we develop natural…

In this paper we study categorical properties of the category of abelian hypergroups that leads to the notion of hyper (almost) preadditive and hyper (almost) abelian categories. Our goal is to create a path towards a general theory of…

In this paper we present a new way to construct the pro-category of a category. This new model is very convenient to work with in certain situations. We present a few applications of this new model, the most important of which solves an…

We define a generalized likelihood function based on uncertainty measures and show that maximizing such a likelihood function for different measures induces different types of classifiers. In the probabilistic framework, we obtain…

One of the major advantages of $\infty$-category theory over classical $1$-category theory is its robust and homotopically meaningful framework for taking (co)limits of diagrams of $\infty$-categories. However, it is both subtle and crucial…

We present an intrinsic and concrete development of the subdivision of small categories, give some simple examples and derive its fundamental properties. As an application, we deduce an alternative way to compare the homotopy categories of…

We present a general definition of entropy in the setting of pre-ordered semigroups, extending the notion of topological entropy. From our definition, we obtain the basic properties exhibited by various entropy-like theories encountered in…
