The simplicial extension of any functor from Sets to Sets which commutes with directed colimits takes weak equivalences to weak equivalences. The goal of the present paper is construct a framework which can be used to proof results of this…

There are a dozen definitions of weak higher categories, all of which loosen the notion of composition of arrows. A new approach is presented here, where instead the notion of identity arrow is weakened -- these are tentatively called fair…

We show that the factorial and Q-factorial loci of algebraic varieties defined over an algebraically closed field are open, that products of locally factorial varieties are still locally factorial, and that this property remains true for…

The existence of adjoints to algebraic functors between categories of models of Lawvere theories follows from finite-product-preservingness surviving left Kan extension. A result along these lines was proved in Appendix 2 of Brian Day's…

A notion of stratification is introduced for any compactly generated triangulated category T endowed with an action of a graded commutative noetherian ring R. The utility of this notion is demonstrated by establishing diverse consequences…

Two novel descriptions of weak {\omega}-categories have been recently proposed, using type-theoretic ideas. The first one is the dependent type theory CaTT whose models are {\omega}-categories. The second is a recursive description of a…

We generalize the small object argument in order to allow for its application to proper classes of maps (as opposed to sets of maps in Quillen's small object argument). The necessity of such a generalization arose with appearance of several…

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…

Given a symplectic manifold M, we consider a category with objects finite ordered families of Lagrangian submanifolds of M (subject to certain additional constraints) and with morphisms Lagrangian cobordisms relating them. We construct a…

We revise our "Physical Traces" paper in the light of the results in "A Categorical Semantics of Quantum Protocols". The key fact is that the notion of a strongly compact closed category allows abstract notions of adjoint, bipartite…

We study the relationship between cartesian bicategories and a specialisation of Lawvere's hyperdoctrines, namely elementary existential doctrines. Both provide different ways of abstracting the structural properties of logical systems: the…

We show that direct summands of certain additive functors arising as bifunctors with a fixed argument in an abelian category are again of that form whenever the fixed argument has finite length or, more generally, satisfies the descending…

Using full images of accessible functors, we prove some results about combinatorial and accessible model categories. In particular, we give an example of a weak factorization system on a locally presentable category which is not accessible.

Fast-growing hierarchies are sequences of functions obtained through various processes similar to the ones that yield multiplication from addition, exponentiation from multiplication, etc. We observe that fast-growing hierarchies can be…

The aim of this paper is to give a characterization in Hilbert spaces of the generators of $C_0$-semigroups associated with closed, sectorial forms in terms of the convergence of a generalized Trotter's product formula. In the course of the…

Presentations of categories are a well-known algebraic tool to provide descriptions of categories by means of generators, for objects and morphisms, and relations on morphisms. We generalize here this notion, in order to consider situations…

It is a classical theorem that the free product of ordered groups is orderable. In this note we show that, using a method of G. Bergman, an ordering of the free product can be constructed in a functorial manner, in the category of ordered…

The notion of a categorical quotient can be generalized since its standard categorical concept does not recover the expected quotients in certain categories. We present a more general formulation in the form of $\mathcal{F}$-quotients in a…
