The behaviour of limits of weak morphisms in 2-dimensional universal algebra is not 2-categorical in that, to fully express the behaviour that occurs, one needs to be able to quantify over strict morphisms amongst the weaker kinds.…
A complete first order theory of a relational signature is called monomorphic iff all its models are monomorphic (i.e. have all the $n$-element substructures isomorphic, for each positive integer $n$). We show that a complete theory…
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…
We give a conceptual treatment of the notion of joints, marginals, and independence in the setting of categorical probability. This is achieved by endowing the usual probability monads (like the Giry monad) with a monoidal and an opmonoidal…
In this paper, we give several equivalent characterizations for a category with finite biproducts and the sum operation of arrows, and called categories satisfying these semiadditive $\mathbf{C}\mathbf{Mon}$-categories. This allow us to…
In order to diagnose the cause of some defects in the category of canonical hypergroups, we investigate several categories of hyperstructures that generalize hypergroups. By allowing hyperoperations with possibly empty products, one obtains…
Every right adjoint functor between presentable $\infty$-categories is shown to decompose canonically as a coreflection, followed by, possibly transfinitely many, monadic functors. Furthermore, the coreflection part is given a presentation…
The free algebra adjunction, between the category of algebras of a monad and the underlying category, induces a comonad on the category of algebras. The coalgebras of this comonad are the topic of study in this paper (following earlier…
This note proves the geodesic completeness of any compact manifold endowed with a linear connection such that the closure of its holonomy group is compact.
Two very basic constructions involving experimental procedures are the formation of coarse-grained versions of experiments, and the formation of branching sequential experiments. The latter allow for the conditioning of states on the…
Monads in category theory are algebraic structures that can be used to model computational effects in programming languages. We show how the notion of "centre", and more generally "centrality", i.e. the property for an effect to commute…
Rigid monoidal 1-categories are ubiquitous throughout quantum algebra and low-dimensional topology. We study a generalization of this notion, namely rigid algebras in an arbitrary monoidal 2-category. Examples of rigid algebras include…
We develop the theory of tricategorical limits and colimits, and show that they can be modelled up to biequivalence via certain homotopically well-behaved limits and colimits enriched over the monoidal model category $\mathbf{Gray}$ of…
In this paper, we consider mixed sums of generalized polygonal numbers. Specifically, we obtain a finiteness condition for universality of such sums; this means that it suffices to check representability of a finite subset of the positive…
In this paper, we give precise mathematical form to the idea of a structure whose data and axioms are faithfully represented by a graphical calculus; some prominent examples are operads, polycategories, properads, and PROPs. Building on the…
Coherence in a monoidal category asserts that all morphisms built from structural isomorphisms with a fixed source and target coincide. These structural isomorphisms include, in particular, the associators. Linearly distributive categories…
If a monad $T$ is monoidal, then operations on a set $X$ can be lifted canonically to operations on $TX$. In this paper we study structural properties under which $T$ preserves equations between those operations. It has already been shown…
Among cocomplete categories, the locally presentable ones can be defined as those with a strong generator consisting of presentable objects. Assuming Vop{\v{e}}nka's Principle, we prove that a cocomplete category is locally presentable iff…
Sifted colimits (those that commute with finite products in sets) play a major role in categorical universal algebra. For example, varieties of (many-sorted) algebras are precisely the free cocompletions under sifted colimits of…
In this note, we extend results about unique $n^{\textrm{th}}$ roots and cancellation of finite disconnected graphs with respect to the Cartesian, the strong and the direct product, to the rooted hierarchical products, and to a modified…
