We extend the theory of Sweeder's measuring comonoids to the framework of duoidal categories: categories equipped with two compatible monoidal structures. We use one of the tensor products to endow the category of monoids for the other with…
We show that, with some technical conditions, an abelian category can be embedded into the category of bimodules over a ring. The case of semisimple rigid monoidal categories is studied in more detail.
This paper provides a homotopical version of the adjoint lifting theorem in category theory, allowing for Quillen equivalences to be lifted from monoidal model categories to categories of algebras over colored operads. The generality of our…
The Lefschetz fixed point theorem follows easily from the identification of the Lefschetz number with the fixed point index. This identification is a consequence of the functoriality of the trace in symmetric monoidal categories. There are…
A bicategory approach to differential cohomology is presented. Based on the axioms of Bunke-Schick, a symmetric monoidal groupoid is associated to differential refinements of cohomology theories. It is proven that such differential…
Presentations of categories are a well-known algebraic tool to provide descriptions of categories by means of generators, for objects and morphisms, and relations on morphisms. We generalize here this notion, in order to consider situations…
In this paper, we propose to obtain the skewed version of a unimodal symmetric density using a skewing mechanism that is not based on a cumulative distribution function. Then we disturb the unimodality of the resulting skewed density. In…
Given an additive equational category with a closed symmetric monoidal structure and a potential dualizing object, we find sufficient conditions that the category of topological objects over that category has a good notion of full…
For every oriented surface of finite type, we construct a functorial Khovanov homology for links in a thickening of the surface, which takes values in a categorification of the corresponding gl(2) skein module. The latter is a mild…
We prove that the category of dg-coalgebras is symmetric monoidal closed and that the category of dg-algebras is enriched, tensored, cotensored and strongly monoidal over that of coalgebras. We apply this formalism to reconstruct several…
Modules for sesquiads and congruence schemes are introduced. It is shown that the corresponding categories are belian and that base change functors establish an ascent datum which allows for a cohomology theory to be established.
We use ring-theoretic methods and methods from the theory of skew braces to produce set-theoretic solutions to the reflection equation. We also use set-theoretic solutions to construct solutions to the parameter-dependent reflection…
A differential category is an additive symmetric monoidal category, that is, a symmetric monoidal category enriched over commutative monoids, with an algebra modality, axiomatizing smooth functions, and a deriving transformation on this…
The well-known Lawvere category R of extended real positive numbers comes with a monoidal closed structure where the tensor product is the sum. But R has another such structure, given by multiplication, which is *-autonomous. Normed sets,…
Let $\mathfrak g$ be a simple Lie algebra with Cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak h$ and Weyl group $W$. We build up a graded map $(\mathcal H\otimes \bigwedge\mathfrak h\otimes \mathfrak h)^W\to (\bigwedge \mathfrak g\otimes \mathfrak…
This is a report on aspects of the theory and use of monoidal categories. The first section introduces the main concepts through the example of the category of vector spaces. String notation is explained and shown to lead naturally to a…
The rook monoid, also known as the symmetric inverse monoid, is the archetypal structure when it comes to extend the principle of symmetry. In this paper, we establish a Schur-Weyl duality between this monoid and an extension of the…
In this article, the author analyses distributive and mixed distributive laws and some of their equivalences through the use of 2-adjunctions of the type $\Adj$-$\Mnd$. As far as the distributive laws are concerned, the equivalence between…
The aim of the present paper is to extend the dualizing object approach to Stone duality to the non-commutative setting of skew Boolean algebras. This continues the study of non-commutative generalizations of different forms of Stone…
In the first part of this note we further the study of the interactions between Reedy and monoidal structures on a small category, building upon the work of Barwick. We define a Reedy monoidal category as a Reedy category $\mathcal{R}$…
