This paper is a rather informal guide to some of the basic theory of 2-categories and bicategories, including notions of limit and colimit, 2-dimensional universal algebra, formal category theory, and nerves of bicategories. As is the way…
We define a notion of colimit for diagrams in a motivic category indexed by a presheaf of spaces (e.g. an \'etale classifying space), and we study basic properties of this construction. As a case study, we construct the motivic analogs of…
We revisit Kolchin's results on definability of differential Galois groups of strongly normal extensions, in the case where the field of constants is not necessarily algebraically closed. In certain classes of differential topological…
In this paper we investigate the interplay between isolated suborders and closures. Isolated suborders are a special kind of suborders and can be used to diminish the number of elements of an ordered set by means of a quotient construction.…
We show that any directed colimit of acessible categories and accessible full embeddings is accessible and, assuming the existence of arbitrarily large strongly compact cardinals, any directed colimit of acessible categories and accessible…
We introduce a generalisation of norm relations in the group algebra Q[G], where G is a finite group. We give some properties of these relations, and use them to obtain relations between the S-unit groups of different subfields of the same…
A connection between the Galois-theoretic approach to semi-abelian homology and the homological closure operators is established. In particular, a generalised Hopf formula for homology is obtained, allowing the choice of a new kind of…
This article is on the inverse Galois problem in Galois theory of linear iterative differential equations in positive characteristic. We show that it has an affirmative answer for reduced algebraic group schemes over any iterative…
We describe the closed, densely defined linear transformations commuting with a given operator T of class C_0 in terms of bounded operators in {T}'. Our results extend those of Sarason for operators with defect index 1, and Martin in the…
We present some results on (co)limits of diagrams in $\infty$-categories, as well as those in $(n, 1)$-categories. In particular, we deduce a way to reshape colimit diagrams into simplicial ones, and a characterisations of $n$-cofinality…
We give a sharper version of a theorem of Rosicky, Trnkova and Adamek, and a new proof of a theorem of Rosicky, both about colimit preservation between categories of structures. Unlike the original proofs, which use category-theoretic…
After explaining the importance of model categories in abstract homotopy theory, we provide concrete examples demonstrating that various categories of manifolds do not have all finite colimits, and hence cannot be model categories. We then…
Given a class Phi of weights, we study the following classes: Phi^+ of Phi-flat weights which are the psi for which psi-colimits commute in the base V with limits with weights in Phi; and Phi^-, dually defined, of weights psi for which…
Let C be an algebraically closed field and X a projective curve over C. Consider an ordinary linear differential equation, or a linear differ- ence equation, with coefficients in the field of rational functions of X, and assume that its…
We classify the filtered modules with coefficients corresponding to two-dimensional potentially semi-stable $p$-adic representations of the absolute Galois groups of $p$-adic fields under the assumptions that $p$ is odd and the coefficients…
Galois closures of commutative rank n ring extensions were introduced by Bhargava and the second author. In this paper, we generalize the construction to the case of non-commutative rings. We show that non-commutative Galois closures…
A cubic Galois polynomial is a cubic polynomial with rational coefficients that defines a cubic Galois field. Its discriminant is a full square and its roots $x_1,x_2,x_3$ (enumerated in some order) are real. There exists (and only one)…
We present a way of topologizing sets of Galois types over structures in abstract elementary classes with amalgamation. In the elementary case, the topologies thus produced refine the syntactic topologies familiar from first order logic. We…
We investigate characterizations of the Galois connection sInv-Aut between sets of finitary relations on a base set A and their automorphisms. In particular, for A=omega_1, we construct a countable set R of relations that is closed under…
We define a quasimodule Q over a bounded lattice L in an analogous way as a module over a semiring is defined. The essential difference is that L need not be distributive. Also for quasimodules there can be introduced the concepts of inner…
