This paper gives an explicit description of the categorical operad whose algebras are precisely symmetric monoidal categories. This allows us to place the operad in a sequence of four, and therefore a sequence of four successively stricter…
We survey results devoted to the lattice of varieties of monoids. Along with known results, some unpublished results are given with proofs. A number of open questions and problems are also formulated.
This article is intended as a reference guide to various notions of monoidal categories and their associated string diagrams. It is hoped that this will be useful not just to mathematicians, but also to physicists, computer scientists, and…
We give a complete complexity classification for the problem of finding a solution to a given system of equations over a fixed finite monoid, given that a solution over a more restricted monoid exists. As a corollary, we obtain a complexity…
Informally, a homotopy monoid is a monoid-like structure in which properties such as associativity only hold `up to homotopy' in some consistent way. This short paper comprises a rigorous definition of homotopy monoid and a brief analysis…
We introduce and investigate the category $\mathsf{AtoMon}$ of atomic monoids and atom-preserving monoid homomorphisms, which is a (non-full) subcategory of the usual category of monoids. In particular, we compute all limits and colimits,…
Actions of monoidal categories on categories, also known as actegories, have been familiar to category theorists for a long time, and yet a comprehensive overview of this topic seems to be missing from the literature. Recently, actegories…
We establish a set of relations between several quite diverse types of weighted inequalities involving various integral operators and fairly general quasinorm-like functionals which we call sub-monotone. The main result enables one to solve…
This article shows that the units of a skew monoidal category are unique up to a unique isomorphism, and internalises this fact to skew monoidales. Some benefits of certain extra structure on the unit maps are also discussed before the…
Although multiplier bimonoids in general are not known to correspond to comonoids in any monoidal category, we classify them in terms of maps from the Catalan simplicial set to another suitable simplicial set; thus they can be regarded as…
It is shown that the category of \emph{semi-biproducts} of monoids is equivalent to the category of \emph{pseudo-actions}. A semi-biproduct of monoids is a new notion, obtained through generalizing a biproduct of commutative monoids. By…
We introduce monoidal width as a measure of the difficulty of decomposing morphisms in monoidal categories. For graphs, we show that monoidal width and two variations capture existing notions, namely branch width, tree width and path width.…
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.
Linearized Reed-Solomon codes are defined. Higher weight distribution of those codes are determined.
Usually a name of the category is inherited from the name of objects. However more relevant for a category of objects and morphisms is an algebra of morphisms. Therefore we prefer to say a category of graphs if every morphism is a graph. In…
We study a certain type of action of categories on categories and on operads. Using the structure of the categories {\Delta} and {\Omega} governing category and operad structures, respectively, we define categories which instead encode the…
In this paper, we define the action of $M$, the monoid of embeddings of $({\mathbb Q}, \le)$, on $\mathbb Q$, in the monoid $(M, \circ)$. That is, we show that $\mathbb Q$ itself can be interpreted in $(M, \circ)$, and in addition, so can…
We construct a category equivalent to the category $\mathbf{Mon}$ of monoids and monoid homomorphisms, based on categories with strict factorization systems. This equivalence is then extended to the category $\mathbf{Mon_s}$ of unital…
A weighted game or a threshold function in general admits different weighted representations even if the sum of non-negative weights is fixed to one. Here we study bounds for the diameter of the corresponding weight polytope. It turns out…
Monoids and groupoids are examples of poloids. On the one hand, poloids can be regarded as one-sorted categories; on the other hand, poloids can be represented by partial magmas of partial transformations. In this article, poloids are…
