We characterize virtual double categories of enriched categories, functors, and profunctors by introducing a new notion of double-categorical colimits. Our characterization is strict in the sense that it is up to equivalence between virtual…
The aim of this paper in to introduce a large class of mappings, called {\it enriched Kannan mappings}, that includes all Kannan mappings and some nonexpansive mappings. We study the set of fixed points and prove a convergence theorem for…
Inclusion diagrams are introduced as an alternative to using Venn diagrams to determine the validity of categorical syllogisms, and are used here for the analysis of diverse categorical syllogisms. As a preliminary example of a possible…
We prove that several results of lineability/spaceability in the framework of sequence spaces are valid in a stricter sense.
We consider the problem of extending maps from algebras to their profinite completions in finitely generated quasivarieties. Our developments are based on the construction of the profinite completion of an algebra as its natural extension.…
Our work over the past years shows that not only the collection of (for instance) all topological spaces gives rise to a category, but also each topological space can be seen individually as a category by interpreting the convergence…
We introduce, comment and develop the Scott adjunction, mostly from the point of view of a category theorist. Besides its technical and conceptual aspects, in a nutshell we provide a categorification of the Scott topology over a posets with…
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…
A new construction to associate an internal category to an enriched one is presented. The key concept is that of extensive ambient category, and the construction follows the one that associates a category whose idempotents split to a given…
We define extension maps as maps that extend a system (through adding ancillary systems) without changing the state in the original system. We show, using extension maps, why a completely positive operation on an initially entangled system…
The aim of this note is threefold: first, to present a few relevant facts about the way in which the technique of enriching contractive mappings was introduced; secondly, to expose the main contributions in the area of enriched mappings…
We combine two recent ideas: cartesian differential categories, and restriction categories. The result is a new structure which axiomatizes the category of smooth maps defined on open subsets of $\R^n$ in a way that is completely algebraic.…
We investigate an enriched-categorical approach to a field of discrete mathematics. The main result is a duality theorem between a class of enriched categories (called $\overline{\mathbb{Z}}$- or $\overline{\mathbb{R}}$-categories) and that…
Inversion of various inclusions, that characterize continuity in topological spaces, results in numerous variants of quotient and perfect maps. In the framework of convergences, the said inclusions are no longer equivalent, and each of them…
We introduce an alternative formalization of curved spaces in which the concept of a pointwise affine space, as defined here, replaces that of a manifold. New or modified definitions of familiar notions from differential geometry such as…
This rough note describes some attempts to define a notion of enriched topology (and the associated theory of enriched stacks) on a category enriched over a symmetric monoidal model category, and poses some related questions.
We define strict and weak duality involutions on 2-categories, and prove a coherence theorem that every bicategory with a weak duality involution is biequivalent to a 2-category with a strict duality involution. For this purpose we…
We study the possibility of a continuous extension of a class of mappings to an isolated point on the boundary of a domain. We show that if some characteristic of this mapping is integrable on almost all spheres in the neighborhood of at…
An alternative foundation for 2-categories is explored by studying graph-theoretically a partial operation on 2-cells named juncture, which can replace vertical and horizontal composition. Juncture is a generalized vertical composition of…
This note presents an approach to studying the iterates of a mapping whose restriction to the complement of a finite set is continuous and open. The main examples to which the approach can be applied are piecewise monotone mappings defined…
