In this article, we introduce a category of weak Lie 3-algebras with suitable weak morphisms. The definition is based on the construction of a partial resolution over $\mathbb{Z}$ of the Koszul dual cooperad of the $\textrm{Lie}$ operad,…
We show that a compact rigid balanced braided monoidal category with enough compact projective objects gives rise to a system of mapping class group representations compatible with the gluing along marked intervals. A motivation to consider…
We develop the theory of weak bimonoids in braided monoidal categories and show them to be quantum categories in a certain sense. Weak Hopf monoids are shown to be quantum groupoids. Each separable Frobenius monoid R leads to a weak Hopf…
We consider four categories: the category of diagrams of small categories indexed by a given small category O, the (comma) category of small categories over O, the category of diagrams of simplicial sets indexed by O, and the category of…
Batanin defines a weak $\omega$-category as an algebra for a certain operad. Leinster refines this idea and defines the weak $\omega$-category operad as the initial object of a category of "operads with contraction". We demonstrate how a…
In this paper we take a look at compactly generated weak Hausdorff spaces equipped with an action of a compact Lie group $G$ together with their colimits and homotopy colimits. In particular, we investigate relations between (homotopy)…
We give a definition of an operad with general groups of equivariance suitable for use in any symmetric monoidal category with appropriate colimits. We then apply this notion to study the 2-category of algebras over an operad in Cat. We…
Every fusion category C that is k-linear over a suitable field k, is the category of finite-dimensional comodules of a Weak Hopf Algebra H. This Weak Hopf Algebra is finite-dimensional, cosemisimple and has commutative bases. It arises as…
In the present article, we describe constructions of model structures on general bicomplete categories. We are motivated by the following question: given a category $\mathcal{C}$ with a subcategory $w\mathcal{C}$ closed under retracts, when…
We demonstrate that categories of continuous actions of topological monoids on discrete spaces are Grothendieck toposes. We exhibit properties of these toposes, giving a solution to the corresponding Morita-equivalence problem. We…
Hurwitz spaces are homotopy quotients of the braid group action on the moduli space of principal bundles over a punctured plane. By considering a certain model for this homotopy quotient we build an aspherical topological operad that we…
Higher Homotopy van Kampen Theorems allow the computation as colimits of certain homotopical invariants of glued spaces. One corollary is to describe homotopical excision in critical dimensions in terms of induced modules and crossed…
We define a class of monoidal categories whose morphisms are diagrams, and which are enhancements and generalisations of the Brauer category obtained by adjoining infinitesimal braids, "coupons" and poles. Properties of these categories are…
We identify natural symmetries of each rigid higher braided category. Specifically, we construct a functorial action by the continuous group $\Omega \mathsf{O}(n)$ on each $\mathcal{E}_{n-1}$-monoidal $(g,d)$-category $\mathcal{R}$ in which…
Let $ Aut_{mHH}(H)$ denote a set of all automorphisms of a monoidal Hopf algebra $H$ with bijective antipode in the sense of Caenepeel S. and Goyvaerts I. (Commun. Algebra 39, 2216-2240, 2011) and let $G$ be a crossed product group $…
We introduce a graphical language for closed symmetric monoidal categories based on an extension of string diagrams with special bracket wires representing internal homs. These bracket wires make the structure of the internal hom functor…
Building on work by Fiore-Pronk-Paoli, we construct four model structures on the category of double categories, each modeling one of the following: simplicial spaces, Segal spaces, $(\infty,1)$-categories, and $\infty$-groupoids.…
It is easy to find algebras $\mathbb{T}\in\mathcal{C}$ in a finite tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ that naturally come with a lift to a braided commutative algebra $\mathsf{T}\in Z(\mathcal{C})$ in the Drinfeld center of $\mathcal{C}$. In…
The purpose of this foundational paper is to introduce various notions and constructions in order to develop the homotopy theory for differential graded operads over any ring. The main new idea is to consider the action of the symmetric…
Covariant Hom-bimodules are introduced and the structure theory of them in the Hom-setting is studied in a detailed way. The category of bicovariant Hom-bimodules is proved to be a (pre)braided monoidal category and its structure theory is…
