We give a purely category-theoretic proof of the result of Makkai and Par\'e saying that the category $\bf Lin$ of linearly ordered sets and order preserving injective mappings is a minimal finitely accessible category. We also discuss the…
In this work, we fill the gap between the elementary quotient completion introduced by Maietti and Rosolini and the exact completion of a category with weak finite limits, as described by Carboni and Vitale. To achieve this, we generalize…
A standard combinatorial construction, due to Kontsevich, associates to any A-infinity algebra with an invariant inner product, an inhomogeneous class in the cohomology of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with marked points. We…
Motivated by the analysis and geometry of metric-measure structures in infinite dimensions, we study the category of extended metric-topological spaces, along with many of its distinguished subcategories (such as the one of compact spaces).…
We show that in any symmetric monoidal category, if a weight for colimits is absolute, then the resulting colimit of any diagram of dualizable objects is again dualizable. Moreover, in this case, if an endomorphism of the colimit is induced…
In this paper, we introduce a cofibrant simplicial category that we call the free homotopy coherent adjunction and characterize its n-arrows using a graphical calculus that we develop here. The hom-spaces are appropriately fibrant, indeed…
Most categorical models for dependent types have traditionally been heavily set based: contexts form a category, and for each we have a set of types in said context -- and for each type a set of terms of said type. This is the case for…
We prove that a weak equivalence between cofibrant props induces a weak equivalence between the associated classifying spaces of algebras. This statement generalizes to the prop setting a homotopy invariance result which is well known in…
We prove an analogue of Morley's categoricity theorem where cardinality is replaced by the recursion-theoretic notion of arithmetic degree. We say that a complete arithmetically definable theory $T$ is $D$-categorical if any two…
We consider the equivariant Kasparov category associated to an \'etale groupoid, and by leveraging its triangulated structure we study its localization at the "weakly contractible" objects, extending previous work by R. Meyer and R. Nest.…
Arboreal categories provide an axiomatic framework in which abstract notions of bisimilarity and back-and-forth games can be defined. They act on extensional categories, typically consisting of relational structures, via arboreal…
In this paper we establish a natural definition of Lusternik-Schnirelmann category for simplicial complexes via the well known notion of contiguity. This category has the property of being homotopy invariant under strong equivalences, and…
In this note we characterize, within the framework of the theory of finite set, those categories of graphs that are {\em algebraic universal} in the sense that every concrete category embeds in them. The proof of the characterization is…
General coherence theorems are constructed that yield explicit presentations of categorical and algebraic objects. The categorical structures involved are finitary discrete Lawvere 2-theories, though they are approached within the language…
We survey some recent results concerning the so called Categorical Torelli problem. This is to say how one can reconstruct a smooth projective variety up to isomorphism, by using the homological properties of special admissible…
Invertibility is an important concept in category theory. In higher category theory, it becomes less obvious what the correct notion of invertibility is, as extra coherence conditions can become necessary for invertible structures to have…
We introduce a theory for encoding and manipulating algebraic data on categories via $\textit{concentration structures}$, which are equivalence relations on morphisms that satisfy certain axioms. For any category with a concentration…
This paper contains results from two areas -- formal theory of Kan extensions and concrete categories. The contribution to the former topic is based on the extension of the concept of Kan extension to the cones and we prove that limiting…
We give a description of certain categories of equivariant coherent sheaves on Grothendieck's resolution in terms of the categorical affine Hecke algebra of Soergel. As an application, we deduce a relationship of these coherent sheaf…
We prove surjectivity of the comparison map from continuous bounded cohomology to continuous cohomology for Hermitian Lie groups with finite center. For general semisimple Lie groups with finite center, the same argument shows that the…
