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…
In this paper we develop the theory of topological categories over a base category, that is, a theory of topological functors. Our notion of topological functor is similar to (but not the same) the existing notions in the literature (see…
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…
We review several known categorification procedures, and introduce a functorial categorification of group extensions with applications to non-abelian group cohomology. Categorification of acyclic models and of topological spaces are briefly…
The filter quotient construction is a particular instance of a filtered colimit of categories. It has primarily been considered in the context of categorical logic, where it has been used effectively to construct non-trivial models, for…
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…
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…
In this paper we present background results in enriched category theory and enriched model category theory necessary for developing model categories of enriched functors suitable for doing functor calculus.
The attempt is to give a formal concpet of system, and with this provide a definition of category, that will also satisfy the definition of a system. An axiomatic base is given, for constructing the group of integers. In the process, we…
We develop a representation theory of categories as a means to explore characteristic structures in algebra. Characteristic structures play a critical role in isomorphism testing of groups and algebras, and their construction and…
A general method for lifting weak factorization systems in a category S to model category structures on simplicial objects in S is described, analogously to the lifting of cotorsion pairs in Abelian categories to model category structures…
We give an introduction to constructive category theory by answering two guiding computational questions. The first question is: how do we compute the set of all natural transformations between two finitely presented functors like…
Fong developed `decorated cospans' to model various kinds of open systems: that is, systems with inputs and outputs. In this framework, open systems are seen as the morphisms of a category and can be composed as such, allowing larger open…
We construct a left semi-model category of "marked strict $\infty$-categories" for which the fibrant objects are those whose marked arrows satisfy natural closure properties and are weakly invertible. The canonical model structure on strict…
We define the notion of an indexed profunctor over a 2-category, and use it to develop an abstract theory of limits. The theory subsumes (conical) limits, weighted limits, ends and Kan extensions. Results include an abstract version of the…
Additive categories play a fundamental role in mathematics and related disciplines. Given an additive category equipped with a biadditive functor, one can construct its category of extensions, which encodes important structural information.…
Forking is a central notion of model theory, generalizing linear independence in vector spaces and algebraic independence in fields. We develop the theory of forking in abstract, category-theoretic terms, for reasons both practical (we…
A Quillen model structure is presented by an interacting pair of weak factorization systems. We prove that in the world of locally presentable categories, any weak factorization system with accessible functorial factorizations can be lifted…
Higher category theory is an exceedingly active area of research, whose rapid growth has been driven by its penetration into a diverse range of scientific fields. Its influence extends through key mathematical disciplines, notably homotopy…
Some aspects of basic category theory are developed in a finitely complete category $\C$, endowed with two factorization systems which determine the same discrete objects and are linked by a simple reciprocal stability law. Resting on this…
