Working over an arbitrary field, we define compact semisimple 2-categories, and show that every compact semisimple 2-category is equivalent to the 2-category of separable module 1-categories over a finite semisimple tensor 1-category. Then,…

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.…

We extend to general Cartesian categories the idea of Coherent Differentiation recently introduced by Ehrhard in the setting of categorical models of Linear Logic. The first ingredient is a summability structure which induces a partial…

Differential categories provide the categorical foundations for the algebraic approaches to differentiation. They have been successful in formalizing various important concepts related to differentiation, such as, in particular,…

We define the zeta function of a finite category. And we propose a conjecture which states the relationship between the Euler characteristic of finite categories and the zeta function of finite categories. This conjecture is verified when…

Structured and decorated cospans are broadly applicable frameworks for building bicategories or double categories of open systems. We streamline and generalize these frameworks using central concepts of double category theory. We show that,…

Cartesian difference categories are a recent generalisation of Cartesian differential categories which introduce a notion of "infinitesimal" arrows satisfying an analogue of the Kock-Lawvere axiom, with the axioms of a Cartesian…

We call a finitely complete category algebraically coherent when the change-of-base functors of its fibration of points are coherent, which means that they preserve finite limits and jointly strongly epimorphic pairs of arrows. We give…

We exhibit a bridge between the theory of cellular categories, used in algebraic topology and homological algebra, and the model-theoretic notion of stable independence. Roughly speaking, we show that the combinatorial cellular categories…

Locally cartesian closed (lcc) categories are natural categorical models of extensional dependent type theory. This paper introduces the "gros" semantics in the category of lcc categories: Instead of constructing an interpretation in a…

We investigate the coefficients generated by expressing the falling factorial $(xy)_k$ as a linear combination of falling factorial products $(x)_l (y)_m$ for $l,m =1,...,k$. Algebraic and combinatoric properties of these coefficients are…

A correspondence functor is a functor from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commu-tative ring. A main tool for this study is the construction of a correspondence functor associated…

Colimits are a fundamental construction in category theory. They provide a way to construct new objects by gluing together existing objects that are related in some way. We introduce a complementary notion of anticolimits, which provide a…

We introduce continuous Frobenius categories. These are topological categories which are constructed using representations of the circle over a discrete valuation ring. We show that they are Krull-Schmidt with one indecomposable object for…

The Carath\'eodory extension theorem is a fundamental result in measure theory. Often we do not know what a general measurable subset looks like. The Carath\'eodory extension theorem states that to define a measure we only need to assign…

We define the triangulated category of relative singularities of a closed subscheme in a scheme. When the closed subscheme is a Cartier divisor, we consider matrix factorizations of the related section of a line bundle, and their analogues…

We give an elementary characterization of those quantaloids Q for which the category Cat(Q) of Q-enriched categories and functors is cartesian closed. We then unify several known cases (previously proven using ad hoc methods) and we give…

In 1990, Johnstone gave a syntactic characterisation of the equational theories whose associated varieties are cartesian closed. Among such theories are all unary theories -- whose models are sets equipped with an action by a monoid M --…
