We generalize the proof of the Farrell-Jones conjecture for CAT(0)-groups to a larger class of groups in particular also containing all hyperbolic groups. This way we give a unified proof for both classes of groups.
We define the notion of a sheaf over a complex of groups. As an application, we give a criterion for the developability of a complex of groups. When the developability is witnessed by a morphism to $\mathrm{GL}(V)$ for some $V$, our…
We introduce a notion of globular multicategory with homomorphism types. These structures arise when organizing collections of "higher category-like" objects such as type theories with identity types. We show how these globular…
We generalise the correspondence between $\aleph 0$-categorical theories and their automorphism groups to arbitrary complete theories in classical logic, and to some theories (including, in particular, all $\aleph 0$-categorical ones) in…
This paper formulates a notion of independence of subobjects of an object in a general (i.e. not necessarily concrete) category. Subobject independence is the categorial generalization of what is known as subsystem independence in the…
Neocategories, semicategories, precategories are well-known generalizations of categories. But they all suppose that sources and targets of morphisms fulfilled identity conditions. Here we intend to suppress those conditions. In doing this…
To a differential graded algebra with coefficients in a noncommutative algebra, by dualisation we associate an $A_\infty$-category whose objects are augmentations. This generalises the augmentation category of Bourgeois and Chantraine to…
The notion of relative derived category with respect to a subcategory is introduced. A triangle-equivalence, which extends a theorem of Gao and Zhang [Gorenstein derived categories, \emph{J. Algebra} \textbf{323} (2010) 2041-2057] to the…
In this short expository note, we discuss, with plenty of examples, the bestiary of fibrations in quasicategory theory. We underscore the simplicity and clarity of the constructions these fibrations make available to end-users of higher…
Invited contribution to the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics. We give an introduction to the homotopical theory of higher categories, focused on motivating the definitions of the basic objects, namely $\infty$-categories and…
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…
It is well-known that biological phenomena are emergent. Emergent phenomena are quite interesting and amazing. However, they are difficult to be understood. Due to this difficulty, we propose a theory to describe emergence based on a…
The representation theory for categorical groups is constructed. Each categorical group determines a monoidal bicategory of representations. Typically, these categories contain representations which are indecomposable but not irreducible. A…
In this paper we introduce the models for $(\infty, n)$-categories which have been developed to date, as well as the comparisons between them that are known and conjectured. We review the role of $(\infty, n)$-categories in the proof of the…
The category $\bcalNT$ is a category of certain commutative graded algebras over a field. It was introduced in \cite{Lobos2} as a generalization of algebras generated by Jucys-Murphy elements in the many \textbf{End} algebras of the…
Similarity metric which is not positive definite, and present a general theorem which provides a large family of similarity metrics which are positive definite.
We define a new version of Topological Complexity (TC) of a space, denoted as $\text{dTC}$, which, we think, fits better for motion planning for some autonomous systems. Like Topological complexity, \text{dTC} is also a homotopy invariant.…
The Euler characteristic of a finite category is defined and shown to be compatible with Euler characteristics of other types of object, including orbifolds. A formula for the cardinality of the colimit of a diagram of sets is proved,…
Probability theory is far from being the most general mathematical theory of uncertainty. A number of arguments point at its inability to describe second-order ('Knightian') uncertainty. In response, a wide array of theories of uncertainty…
There are different categorizations of the definition of a {\it ring} such as {\it Ann-category} (see N. T. Quang [6]), {\it ring category} (see M. Kapranov and V.Voevodsky [2]),... The main result of this paper is to prove that every axiom…
