A distinguished variety is a variety that exits the bidisk through the distinguished boundary. We show that Ando's inequality for commuting matrix contractions can be sharpened to looking at the maximum modulus on a distinguished variety,…
We study several classes of braided fusion categories, and prove that they all contain nontrivial Tannakian subcategories. As applications, we classify some fusion categories in terms of solvability and group-theoreticality.
Classifying obstructions to the problem of finding extensions between two fixed modules goes back at least to L. Illusie's thesis. Our approach, following in the footsteps of J. Wise, is to introduce an analogous Grothendieck Topology on…
We characterize in terms of bicategories actions of monoidal categories to representation categories of algebras. For that purpose we introduce cocycles in any 2-category $\K$ and the category of Tambara modules over a monad $B$ in $\K$. We…
We present Trimble's definition of a tetracategory and prove that the spans in (strict) 2-categories with certain limits have the structure of a monoidal tricategory, defined as a one-object tetracategory. We recall some notions of limits…
This paper describes an equivalence of the canonical category of $\mathbb N$-manifolds of degree $2$ with a category of involutive double vector bundles. More precisely, we show how involutive double vector bundles are in duality with…
We treat the problem of lifting bicategories into double categories through categories of vertical morphisms. We make use of a specific instance of the Grothendieck construction to provide, for every bicategory equipped with a possible…
We prove that if two abelian varieties have equivalent derived categories then the derived categories of the smooth stacks associated to the corresponding Kummer varieties are equivalent as well. The second main result establishes necessary…
For a generalisation of the classical theory of Hopf algebra over fields, A. Brugui\`eres and A. Virelizier study opmonoidal monads on monoidal categories (which they called {\em bimonads}). In a recent joint paper with S. Lack the same…
Given a projective family of semi-stable curves over a complete discrete valuation ring of characteristic p with algebraically closed residue field, we construct a specialization functor between the category of continuous representations of…
We set up a fibred categorical theory of obstruction and classification of morphisms that specializes to the one of monoidal functors between categorical groups and also to the Schreier-Mac Lane theory of group extensions. Further…
In this paper we study loops, neardomains and nearfields from a categorical point of view. By choosing the right kind of morphisms, we can show that the category of neardomains is equivalent to the category of sharply 2-transitive groups.…
We introduce bimonads in a 2-category $\K$ and define biwreaths as bimonads in the 2-category $\bEM(\K)$ of bimonads, in the analogous fashion as Lack and Street defined wreaths. A biwreath is then a system containing a wreath, a cowreath…
We formulate and prove a twofold generalisation of Lie's second theorem that integrates homomorphisms between formal group laws to homomorphisms between Lie groups. Firstly we generalise classical Lie theory by replacing groups with…
An n-category is some sort of algebraic structure consisting of objects, morphisms between objects, 2-morphisms between morphisms, and so on up to n-morphisms, together with various ways of composing them. We survey various concepts of…
Using crossed homomorphisms, we show that the category of weak representations (resp. admissible representations) of Lie-Rinehart algebras (resp. Leibniz pairs) is a left module category over the monoidal category of representations of Lie…
A group-category is an additively semisimple category with a monoidal product structure in which the simple objects are invertible. For example in the category of representations of a group, 1-dimensional representations are the invertible…
In this paper, we study a family of fusion and modular systems realizing fusion categories Grothendieck equivalent to the representation category for $so(2p+1)_2$. These categories describe non-abelian anyons dubbed `metaplectic anyons'. We…
A compact closed bicategory is a symmetric monoidal bicategory where every object is equipped with a weak dual. The unit and counit satisfy the usual "zig-zag" identities of a compact closed category only up to natural isomorphism, and the…
We prove a theorem of Hinich type on existence of a model structure on a category related by an adjunction to the category of differential graded modules over a graded commutative ring.
