In this work we discuss a new type of factorisation systems for \textbf{Ord}-enriched categories. We start by defining the new notion of lax weak orthogonality, which involves the existence of lax diagonal morphisms for lax squares. Using…
Wehrheim and Woodward have shown how to embed all the canonical relations between symplectic manifolds into a category in which the composition is the usual one when transversality and embedding assumptions are satisfied. A morphism in…
Graded rings provide a natural algebraic framework for encoding symmetry via decompositions into homogeneous components indexed by a group, together with multiplication rules reflecting the group operation. Among graded rings, strongly…
It is known that factorisation systems in categories can be viewed as unitary pseudo algebras for the "squaring" monad in Cat. We show in this note that an analogous fact holds for proper (i.e., epi-mono) factorisation systems and a…
We prove some nice properties of anti-homomorphisms, some of which are analogic to that of homomorphisms. Meanwhile, we develop a new kind of composition called $*$-composition such that the $*$-composition of two anti-homomorphisms is…
Given an element $f$ in a regular local ring, we study matrix factorizations of $f$ with $d \ge 2$ factors, that is, we study tuples of square matrices $(\varphi_1,\varphi_2,\dots,\varphi_d)$ such that their product is $f$ times an identity…
Quandle representations are homomorphisms from a quandle to the group of invertible matrices on some vector space taken with the conjugation operation. We study certain families of quandle representations. More specifically, we introduce…
Kotschick and Morita recently discovered factorisations of characteristic classes of transversally symplectic foliations that yield new characteristic classes in foliated cohomology. We describe an alternative construction of such…
We describe a procedure for constructing morphisms in additive categories, combining Auslander's concept of a morphism determined by an object with the existence of flat covers. Also, we show how flat covers are turned into projective…
In the context of categories equipped with a structure of nullhomotopies, we introduce the notion of homotopy torsion theory. As special cases, we recover pretorsion theories as well as torsion theories in multi-pointed categories and in…
Category theory has foundational importance because it provides conceptual lenses to characterize what is important in mathematics. Originally the main lenses were universal mapping properties and natural transformations. In recent decades,…
This article is first in a series of papers where we reprove the statements in constructing the Enhanced Operation Map and the abstract six-functor formalism developed by Liu-Zheng. In this paper, we prove a theorem regarding constructing…
The question "What is category theory" is approached by focusing on universal mapping properties and adjoint functors. Category theory organizes mathematics using morphisms that transmit structure and determination. Structures of…
In the paper we describe the class of principal quandles and show that connected quandles can be decomposed as a disjoint union of principal quandles. We also prove that simple affine quandles are finite and they can be characterized among…
In this paper we study a 2-dimensional version of Quillen's homotopy category construction. Given a category $\mathscr{A}$ and a class of morphisms $\Sigma \subset \mathscr{A}$ containing the identities, we construct a 2-category…
We introduce signed exceptional sequences as factorizations of morphisms in the cluster morphism category. The objects of this category are wide subcategories of the module category of a hereditary algebra. A morphism $[T]:\mathcal A\to…
A quandle is an algebraic structure whose axioms correspond to the Reidemeister moves of knot theory. S. Kamada introduced the notion of a quandle with a good involution, which is later called a symmetric quandle. We are interested in the…
It is well known that the Lorenz system has $Z_2$-symmetry. Using introducted in math.DS/0105147 topological covering-coloring a new representation for the Lorenz system is obtained. Deleting coloring leads to the factorized Lorenz system…
We show that the cohomology groups usually associated with racks and quandles agree with the Quillen cohomology groups for the algebraic theories of racks and quandles, respectively. We also explain how this makes available the entire range…
We show that differential calculus (in its usual form, or in the general form of topological differential calculus) can be fully imdedded into a functor category (functors from a small category of anchord tangent algebras to anchored sets).…
