A double category is constructed from a `fattened' version of a given category, motivated in part by a context of parallel transport. We also study monoidal structures on the underlying category and on the fattened category.
In this article the notion of virtual double category (also known as fc-multicategory) is extended as follows. While cells in a virtual double category classically have a horizontal multi-source and single horizontal target, the notion of…
We show that a compact rigid balanced braided monoidal category with enough compact projective objects gives rise to a system of mapping class group representations compatible with the gluing along marked intervals. A motivation to consider…
The notion of a subtractive category, recently introduced by the author, is a ``categorical version'' of the notion of a (pointed) subtractive variety of universal algebras, due to A. Ursini. We show that a subtractive variety $\C$, whose…
We give a construction of triangulated categories as quotients of exact categories where the subclass of objects sent to zero is defined by a triple of functors. This includes the cases of homotopy and stable module categories. These…
Entwined modules over cowreaths in a monoidal category are introduced. They can be identified to coalgebras in an appropriate monoidal category. It is investigated when such coalgebras are Frobenius (resp. separable), and when the forgetful…
We develop the Morita theory of fusion 2-categories. In order to do so, we begin by proving that the relative tensor product of modules over a separable algebra in a fusion 2-category exists. We use this result to construct the Morita…
We introduce rigid algebras, a generalization of rigid categories to arbitrary symmetric monoidal $(\infty,2)$-categories. We develop their general theory, showing in particular that the a priori $(\infty,2)$-category of rigid algebras is…
We put a monoidal model category structure on the category of chain complexes of quasi-coherent sheaves over a quasi-compact and semi-separated scheme X. The approach generalizes and simplifies methods used by the author to build monoidal…
We treat the problem of lifting bicategories into double categories through categories of vertical morphisms. We make use of a specific instance of the Grothendieck construction to provide, for every bicategory equipped with a possible…
Higher-dimensional category theory is the study of n-categories, operads, braided monoidal categories, and other such exotic structures. Although it can be treated purely as an algebraic subject, it is inherently topological in nature: the…
An overcategory with base category C is merely any functor into C. In this paper we extend the work of Dominique Bourn and Jacques Penon ("Cat\'egorification de structures d\'efinies par monade cart\'esienne") on overcategories. In…
We study collections of additive categories $\mathcal{M}(G)$, indexed by finite groups $G$ and related by induction and restriction in a way that categorifies usual Mackey functors. We call them `Mackey 2-functors'. We provide a large…
We introduce a theory for encoding and manipulating algebraic data on categories via $\textit{concentration structures}$, which are equivalence relations on morphisms that satisfy certain axioms. For any category with a concentration…
Conceiving of premises as collected into sets or multisets, instead of sequences, may lead to triviality for classical and intuitionistic logic in general proof theory, where we investigate identity of deductions. Any two deductions with…
Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity. This paper investigates the structure of the monomorphism category of large $R$-modules and establishes connections with the category of contravariant functors defined on finitely presented…
In this paper, we obtain some new results on closed subschemes. Specially, we define natural addition and multiplication on the closed subschemes of a scheme. It is shown that "the multiplication" precisely coincides with the well known…
We begin with a brief sketch of what is known and conjectured concerning braided monoidal 2-categories and their applications to 4d topological quantum field theories and 2-tangles (surfaces embedded in 4-dimensional space). Then we give…
A variant of the trace in a monoidal category is given in the setting of closed monoidal derivators, which is applicable to endomorphisms of fiberwise dualizable objects. Functoriality of this trace is established. As an application, an…
We give a self-contained introduction to accessible categories and how they shed light on both model- and set-theoretic questions. We survey for example recent developments on the study of presentability ranks, a notion of cardinality…
