The theory of parity quasi-complexes (PQC) is developed, preparing a set up for defining derived functors using resolutions in the nonabelian case. A homotopy structure on the category of PQC is defined, yielding a 2-category structure. The…
We define a monoidal semantics for algebraic theories. The basis for the definition is provided by the analysis of the structural rules in the term calculus of algebraic languages. Models are described both explicitly, in a form that…
Expansions of abelian categories are introduced. These are certain functors between abelian categories and provide a tool for induction/reduction arguments. Expansions arise naturally in the study of coherent sheaves on weighted projective…
In this note some recent developments in the study of homology in semi-abelian categories are briefly presented. In particular the role of protoadditive functors in the study of Hopf formulae for homology is explained.
A functorial semi-norm on singular homology is a collection of semi-norms on the singular homology groups of spaces such that continuous maps between spaces induce norm-decreasing maps in homology. Functorial semi-norms can be used to give…
We consider a semi-algebraic function defined on a closed semi-algebraic set X. We give formulas relating the topology of X to the indices of the critical points of the function and to the topological behavior of the function at infinity.…
We show that Berkovich analytic geometry can be viewed as relative algebraic geometry in the sense of To\"{e}n--Vaqui\'{e}--Vezzosi over the category of non-Archimedean Banach spaces. For any closed symmetric monoidal quasi-abelian category…
We define the class of rigid Frobenius algebras in a (non-semisimple) modular category and prove that their categories of local modules are, again, modular. This generalizes previous work of A. Kirillov, Jr. and V. Ostrik [Adv. Math. 171…
Conformal algebras, recently introduced by Kac, encode an axiomatic description of the singular part of the operator product expansion in conformal field theory. The objective of this paper is to develop the theory of ``multi-dimensional''…
The hyperbolicity statements for subvarieties and complements of hypersurfaces in abelian varieties admit arithmetic analogues, due to Faltings (and Vojta for the semi-abelian case). In Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei Rend. Lincei Mat. Appl. 29…
Through abelian categories, homological lemmas for modules admit a self-dual treatment, where half of the proof of a lemma is sufficient to prove the full lemma. In this paper, we show how the context of a `noetherian form', recently…
Profinite semigroups are a generalization of finite semigroups that come about naturally when one is interested in considering free structures with respect to classes of finite semigroups. They also appear naturally through dualization of…
We consider several types of non-existence theorems for functors. For example, there are no nontrivial functors from the category of groups (or the category of pointed sets, or vector spaces) to any small category. Another type of questions…
We investigate models of algebraic theories in the category of cocommutative coalgebras over a field. We establish some of their categorical properties, similar to those of algebraic varieties. We introduce a class of categories of…
In this paper, we introduce the notions of semi-Bloch periodic functions and semi-anti-periodic functions. Stepanov semi-Bloch periodic functions and Stepanov semi-anti-periodic functions are considered, as well. We analyze the invariance…
The goal of these talks was to explain how cohomology and other tools of algebraic topology are seen through the lens of n-category theory. Special topics include nonabelian cohomology, Postnikov towers, the theory of "n-stuff", and…
The most commonly known triangulated categories arise from chain complexes in an abelian category by passing to chain homotopy classes or inverting quasi-isomorphisms. Such examples are called `algebraic' because they originate from abelian…
Let $\mathscr{A}$ be an extension closed proper abelian subcategory of a triangulated category $\mathscr{T}$, with no negative 1 and 2 extensions. From this, two functors from $\Sigma\mathscr{A}\ast\mathscr{A}$ to $\mathscr{A}$ can be…
Bivariant (equivariant) K-theory is the standard setting for non-commutative topology. We may carry over various techniques from homotopy theory and homological algebra to this setting. Here we do this for some basic notions from…
An explicit categorical equivalence is defined between a proper subvariety of the class of $PMV$-algebras, as defined by Di Nola and Dvure$\check{c}$enskij, to be called $PMV_f$-algebras, and the category of semi-low $f_u$-rings. This…
