A genuine infinite tensor product of complex vector spaces is a vector space ${\bigotimes}_{i\in I} X_i$ whose linear maps coincide with multilinear maps on an infinite family $\{X_i\}_{i\in I}$ of vector spaces. We give a direct sum…

We define E-theory for separable C*-algebras over second countable topological spaces and establish its basic properties. This includes an approximation theorem that relates the E-theory over a general space to the E-theories over finite…

We show that certain classes of modules have universal models with respect to pure embeddings. $Theorem.$ Let $R$ be a ring, $T$ a first-order theory with an infinite model extending the theory of $R$-modules and $K^T=(Mod(T), \leq_{pp})$…

We prove that any rigid additive symmetric monoidal category can be mapped to a rigid abelian symmetric monoidal category in a universal way. This yields a novel approach to Grothendieck's standard conjecture D and Voevodsky's smash…

In order to simultaneously generalize matrix rings and group graded crossed products, we introduce category crossed products. For such algebras we describe the center and the commutant of the coefficient ring. We also investigate the…

We show that anyon chains, after stabilizing with infinite-dimensional ancilla spaces, factorize locally as tensor products of infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. This implies that any unitary fusion category can be realized as symmetries…

We introduce the universal Euler characteristic of orbit space definable groupoids, a class of groupoids containing cocompact proper Lie groupoids as well as translation groupoids associated to proper definable group actions. We show that…

We consider the question of whether the injective modules generate the unbounded derived category of a ring as a triangulated category with arbitrary coproducts. We give an example of a non-Noetherian commutative ring where they don't, but…

We introduce quotient maps in the category of operator systems and show that the maximal tensor product is projective with respect to them. Whereas, the maximal tensor product is not injective, which makes the $({\rm el},\max)-nuclearity…

A half a century ago, George Bergman introduced stunning machinery which would realise any commutative conical monoid as the non-stable $K$-theory of a ring. The ring constructed is ``minimal" or ``universal". Given the success of graded…

We construct a maximal counterpart to the minimal quantum group-twisted tensor product of $C^{*}$-algebras studied by Meyer, Roy and Woronowicz, which is universal with respect to representations satisfying braided commutation relations.…

A notion of stratification is introduced for any compactly generated triangulated category T endowed with an action of a graded commutative noetherian ring R. The utility of this notion is demonstrated by establishing diverse consequences…

We adapt Grayson's model of higher algebraic $K$-theory using binary acyclic complexes to the setting of stable $\infty$-categories. As an application, we prove that the $K$-theory of stable $\infty$-categories preserves infinite products.

The author has previously associated to each commutative ring with unit $\Bbbk$ and \'etale groupoid $\mathscr G$ with locally compact, Hausdorff, totally disconnected unit space a $\Bbbk$-algebra $\Bbbk\mathscr G$. The algebra…

This is the second part of the paper (the first part is published in Jour. of AMS, vol.9, 1135--1170, q-alg/9508017). In the first part, we defined for every modular tensor category (MTC) inner products on the spaces of morphisms and proved…

We use our extension of the Noether-Lefschetz theorem to describe generators of the class groups at the local rings of singularities of very general hypersurfaces containing a fixed base locus. We give several applications, including (1)…

This dissertation comprises three collections of results, all united by a common theme. The theme is the study of categories via algebraic techniques, considering categories themselves as algebraic objects. This algebraic approach to…

We investigate objects in symmetric tensor categories that have simultaneously finite symmetric and finite exterior algebra. This forces the characteristic of the base field to be $p>0$, and the maximal degree of non-vanishing symmetric and…

Given a small category C, we show that there is a universal way of expanding C into a model category, essentially by formally adjoining homotopy colimits. The technique of localization becomes a method for imposing `relations' into these…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian domain, and let M and N be finitely generated R-modules. We give new criteria for determining when M tensor N has torsion. We also give constructive formulas for producing a module in the isomorphism class…
