We give an elementary proof of the statement that if an idempotent complete preadditive category has weak kernels and weak cokernels, then it has $n$-kernels if and only if it has $n$-cokernels, where $n$ is a nonnegative integer. As a…
We study full exact functors between triangulated categories. With some hypotheses on the source category we prove that it admits an orthogonal decomposition into two pieces such that the functor restricted to one of them is zero while the…
Let $(1)$ be an automorphism on an additive category $\mathcal{B}$, and let $\eta\colon (1)\to {\rm Id}_{\mathcal{B}}$ be a natural transformation satisfying $\eta_{X(1)}=\eta_X(1)$ for any object $X$ in $\mathcal{B}$. We construct a new…
If ${\cal D}$ is a definable category then it may contain no nonzero finitely presented modules but, by a result of Makkai, there is a $\varinjlim$-generating set of strictly ${\cal D}$-atomic modules. These modules share some key…
We prove that an additive track category with strong coproducts is equivalent to the category of pseudomodels for the algebraic theory of $\nil_2$ groups. This generalizes the classical statement that the category of models for the…
We define the notion of exact completion with respect to an existential elementary doctrine. We observe that the forgetful functor from the 2-category exact categories to existential elementary doctrines has a left biadjoint that can be…
In this work we introduce the notion of higher $\mathbb{E}$-extension groups for an extriangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ and study the quotients $\mathcal{X}_{n+1}^{\vee}/[\mathcal{X}]$ and $\mathcal{X}_{n+1}^{\wedge}/[\mathcal{X}]$ when…
The feasibility of a classification-by-rank program for modular categories follows from the Rank-Finiteness Theorem. We develop arithmetic, representation theoretic and algebraic methods for classifying modular categories by rank. As an…
We provide a criterion for the existence of right approximations in cocomplete additive categories; it is a straightforward generalisation of a result due to El Bashir. This criterion is used to construct adjoint functors in homotopy…
We show that factorization systems, both strict and orthogonal, can be equivalently described as double categories satisfying certain properties. This provides conceptual reasons for why the category of sets and partial maps or the category…
We prove that the projective model structure on the category of unbounded cochain complexes extends naturally to the category of contractions. The proof is completely elementary and we do not assume familiarity with model categories.
We prove that a pointed category has kernels if and only if it is a lax algebra for the arrow 2-monad, and that this holds if and only if it is the d\'ecalage of a supercoherent structure. We will then interpret categories with kernels as…
We show a cotorsion pair cogenerated by a class is complete under suitable conditions in an arbitrary exact category using the generalized small object argument given by Chorny. This recovers Saor\'in and \v{S}\v{t}ov\'{i}\v{c}ek's…
We show that bounded type implies finite type for a constructible subcategory of the module category of a finitely generated algebra over a field, which is a variant of the first Brauer-Thrall conjecture. A full subcategory is constructible…
We prove that some subquotient categories of exact categories are abelian. This generalizes a result by Koenig-Zhu in the case of (algebraic) triangulated categories. As a particular case, if an exact category B with enough projectives and…
We give a classification of substructures (= closed subbifunctors) of a given skeletally small extriangulated category by using the category of defects, in a similar way to the author's classification of exact structures of a given additive…
We develop the basic theory of covers and envelopes in proto-exact categories. As an application, we prove the existence of enough injectives for categories of Banach modules over arbitrary Banach rings.
We give several characterizations of those finite dimensional HSRK with complete Pick kernels which are model spaces. One characterization involves the size of the solution to a multiplier problem. Another involves having a conjugation…
We consider and characterize classes of finite and countably categorical structures and their theories preserved under $E$-operators and $P$-operators. We describe $e$-spectra and families of finite cardinalities for structures belonging to…
In categorical realizability, it is common to construct categories of assemblies and categories of modest sets from applicative structures. These categories have structures corresponding to the structures of applicative structures. In the…
