For a small quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, we consider 2-monads on the 2-category $\mathcal{Q}$-$\bf{Cat}$ and their lax extensions to the 2-category $\mathcal{Q}$-$\bf{Dist}$ of small $\mathcal{Q}$-categories and their distributors, in…

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of some of the foundational properties of categories enriched over quantaloids, along with several new results. We demonstrate that the category whose objects are quantaloid-enriched categories…

Linearly distributive categories were introduced to model the tensor/par fragment of linear logic, without resorting to the use of negation. Linear bicategories are the bicategorical version of linearly distributive categories. Essentially,…

For any small quantaloid $\Q$, there is a new quantaloid $\D(\Q)$ of diagonals in $\Q$. If $\Q$ is divisible then so is $\D(\Q)$ (and vice versa), and then it is particularly interesting to compare categories enriched in $\Q$ with…

Given a quotient vector bundle $\mathcal A$ over $X$ with kernel map $\kappa: X\to\mathrm{Max}\,A$ we study the codual bundle with fiber at each point $x\in X$ isomorphic to the dual of $\kappa(x)$. Applying the adjunction between quotient…

This paper discusses some issues arising from the category $\mathfrak{H}$ of hypergraphs, the category $\mathfrak{M}$ of (undirected) multigraphs, and the topos $\mathfrak{Q}$ of quivers. First, the natural inclusion of $\mathfrak{M}$ into…

In the framework of Category Theory, we study the association between finite--dimensional representations of a compact quantum group and quantum vector bundles with linear connections for a given quantum principal bundle with a principal…

Symmetric monoidal closed categories may be related to one another not only by the functors between them but also by enrichment of one in another, and it was known to G. M. Kelly in the 1960s that there is a very close connection between…

Exponentiable functors between quantaloid-enriched categories are characterized in elementary terms. The proof goes as follows: the elementary conditions on a given functor translate into existence statements for certain adjoints that obey…

Our work is a fundamental study of the notion of approximation in V-categories and in (U,V)-categories, for a quantale V and the ultrafilter monad U. We introduce auxiliary, approximating and Scott-continuous distributors, the way-below…

We prove an adjoint functor theorem in the setting of categories enriched in a monoidal model category $\mathcal V$ admitting certain limits. When $\mathcal V$ is equipped with the trivial model structure this recaptures the enriched…

For a small quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, a $\mathcal{Q}$-closure space is a small category enriched in $\mathcal{Q}$ equipped with a closure operator on its presheaf category. We investigate $\mathcal{Q}$-closure spaces systematically with…

Cofunctors are a kind of map between categories which lift morphisms along an object assignment. In this paper, we introduce cofunctors between categories enriched in a distributive monoidal category. We define a double category of enriched…

By using the Dold-Kan correspondence we construct a Quillen adjunction between the model categories of non-cocommutative coassociative simplicial and differential graded coalgebras over a field. We restrict to categories of connected…

We study lax functors between bicategories as a generalized concept of monads and describe generalized notions and theorems of formal monad theory for lax functors. Our first approach is to use the 2-monad whose lax algebras are lax…

For a quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, considered as a bicategory, Walters introduced categories enriched in $\mathcal{Q}$. Here we extend the study of monad-quantale-enriched categories of the past fifteen years by introducing…

For a small quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, we introduce $\mathcal{M}$-(co)complete $\mathcal{Q}$-categories, i.e., (co)complete $\mathcal{Q}$-categories up to Morita equivalence, as Eilenberg--Moore algebras of the presheaf monad on the category…

This paper considers the possible underlying multicategories for a symmetric monoidal category, and shows that, up to canonical and coherent isomorphism, there really is only one. As a result, there is a well-defined forgetful functor from…

In this communication we generalize some recent results of Rump to categories enriched in a commutative quantale V. Using these results, we show that every quantale-enriched multicategory admits an injective hull. Finally, we expose a…
