Category theory is a branch of mathematics that provides a formal framework for understanding the relationship between mathematical structures. To this end, a category not only incorporates the data of the desired objects, but also…
In the present paper we consider the problem of local equivalence of second order ODEs which are cubic in second derivative under the action of the pseudogroup of contact transformations. We show how it may be reduced to the equivalence…
Let $M$ be a closed, connected, orientable topological four-manifold with $H_1(M)$ nontrivial and free abelian, $b_2(M)\ne 0, 2$, and $\chi(M)\ne 0$. We show that if $G$ is a finite group of 2-rank $\le 1$ which admits a homologically…
It is well-known that small categories have equivalent descriptions as partial monoids. We provide a formulation of partial monoid and partial monoid homomorphism involving $s$ and $t$ instead of identities and then following a recent…
Elmendorf's Theorem states that the category of continuous actions of a topological group is a Grothendieck topos in the sense that it is equivalent to a category of sheaves on a site. This paper offers a 2-dimensional generalization by…
It is a well known result in the covering groups that a subgroup $G$ of the fundamental group at the identity of a semi-locally simply connected topological group determines a covering morphism of topological groups with characteristic…
We prove that the 2-category of action Lie groupoids localised in the following three different ways yield equivalent bicategories: localising at equivariant weak equivalences \`a la Pronk, localising using surjective submersive equivariant…
We prove a structure result on proper extensions of two-sided restriction semigroups in terms of partial actions, generalizing respective results for monoids and for inverse semigroups and upgrading the latter. We introduce and study…
After recalling basic definitions and constructions for a finite group $G$ action on a $k$-linear category we give a concise proof of the following theorem of Elagin: if $\mathcal{C} = \langle \mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B} \rangle$ is a…
Regardless of its environment, the category of internal groupoids is shown to be equivalent to the full subcategory of involutive-2-links that are unital and associative. The new notion of involutive-2-link originates from the study of…
This unpublished note contains some materials taken from my old study note on groupoids and small categories. It contains a proof for the fact that any groupoid is a group bundle over an equivalence relation. Moreover, the action of a…
The cartesian structure possessed by relations, spans, profunctors, and other such morphisms is elegantly expressed by universal properties in double categories. Though cartesian double categories were inspired in part by the older program…
In this paper we continue our investigation of the global categorical symmetries that arise when gauging finite higher groups and their higher subgroups with discrete torsion. The motivation is to provide a common perspective on the…
We study locally closed transformation monoids which contain the automorphism group of the random graph. We show that such a transformation monoid is locally generated by the permutations in the monoid, or contains a constant operation, or…
This is the second of two papers but has been written so as to have minimal dependence on the first paper (which is also on this archive). Let G be a group and let M be a CAT(0) proper metric space (e.g. a simply connected complete…
We say that a group G is a cube group if it is generated by a set S of involutions such that the corresponding Cayley graph Cay(G,S) is isomorphic to a cube. Equivalently, G is a cube group if it acts on a cube such that the action is…
Actions of bicategories arise as categorification of actions of categories. They appear in a variety of different contexts in mathematics, from Moerdijk's classification of regular Lie groupoids in foliation theory, to Waldmann's work on…
We provide a framework for studying concrete C*-algebras associated with algebraic actions of semigroups: Given such an action, we construct an inverse semigroup, and we introduce conditions for algebraic actions that characterize…
In this article, when G is a locally compact quantum group, we associate to a braided-commutative G-Yetter-Drinfel'd algebra $(N,a,\hat{a})$ equipped with a normal faithful semi-finite weight verifying some appropriate condition, a…
Recently, symmetric categorical groups are used for the study of the Brauer groups of symmetric monoidal categories. As a part of these efforts, some algebraic structures of the 2-category of symmetric categorical groups $\mathrm{SCG}$ are…
