We classify thick subcategories of the $\infty$-categories of perfect modules over ring spectra which arise as functions on even periodic derived stacks satisfying affineness and regularity conditions. For example, we show that the thick…

We present a criterion for $2$-final $(2,1)$-functors, analoguous to the classical one for final $1$-functor: a $(2,1)$-functor $F \colon A \to B$ is $2$-final if and only if, for any object $b$ of $B$, the slice $(2,1)$-category $b / F$ is…

This text develops a homotopy theory of 2-categories analogous to Grothendieck's homotopy theory of categories developed in "Pursuing Stacks". We define the notion of "basic localizer of 2-Cat", 2-categorical generalization of…

The purpose of this article is to present ideas towards obtaining a model category structure on the category of small strict n-categories, generalizing the one obtained by Thomason on ordinary categories. Following ideas of Grothendieck and…

For a collection of subcategories satisfying a fixed set of conditions, for example thick subcategories of a triangulated category, we define a topological space called classifying space of subcategories. We show that this space classifies…

For a given category C and a topological space X, the constant stack on X with stalk C is the stack of locally constant sheaves with values in C. Its global objects are classified by their monodromy, a functor from the Poincare groupoid of…

Let $L_n$ denote the Dwyer-Kan localization of the category of weak n-categories divided by the n-equivalences. We propose a list of properties that this simplicial category is likely to have, and conjecture that these properties…

We study a 2-functor that assigns to a bimodule category over a finite k-linear tensor category a k-linear abelian category. This 2-functor can be regarded as a category-valued trace for 1-morphisms in the tricategory of finite tensor…

We classify localising subcategories of the stable module category of a finite group that are closed under tensor product with simple (or, equivalently all) modules. One application is a proof of the telescope conjecture in this context.…

Categories of partial functions have become increasingly important principally because of their applications in theoretical computer science. In this note we prove that the category of partial bijections between sets as an…

This paper shows how internal models for polymorphic lambda calculi arise in any 2-category with a notion of discreteness. We generalise to a 2-categorical setting the famous theorem of Peter Freyd saying that there are no sufficiently…

We prove a new localization theorem for stable model categories if the localizing subcategory is generated by a precovering class in the model category. We use this to show how one may explicitly realize certain Bousfield localization…

We introduce the notion of a definable category--a category equivalent to a full subcategory of a locally finitely presentable category that is closed under products, directed colimits and pure subobjects. Definable subcategories are…

We compare the colimit and 2-colimit of strict 2-functors in the 2-category of groupoids, over a certain type of posets. These posets are of special importance, as they correspond to coverings of a topological space. The main result of this…

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…

In this paper we consider the conditions that need to be satisfied by two families of pseudofunctors with a common codomain for them to be collated into a bifunctor. We observe similarities between these conditions and distributive laws of…

We exhibit a correspondence between subcategories of modules over an algebra and sub-bimodules of the dual of that algebra. We then prove that the semisimplicity of certain such categories is equivalent to the existence of a Peter-Weyl…

We study (pre-)sheaves in bicategories on geometric categories: smooth manifolds, manifolds with a Lie group action and Lie groupoids. We present three main results: we describe equivariant descent, we generalize the plus construction to…

Categorical orthodoxy has it that collections of ordinary mathematical structures such as groups, rings, or spaces, form categories (such as the category of groups); collections of 1-dimensional categorical structures, such as categories,…

We develop a theory of adjunctions in semigroup categories, i.e. monoidal categories without a unit object. We show that a rigid semigroup category is promonoidal, and thus one can naturally adjoin a unit object to it. This extends the…
