We give a finite presentation of the cobordism symmetric monoidal bicategory of (smooth, oriented) closed manifolds, cobordisms and cobordisms with corners as an extension of the bicategory of closed manifolds, cobordisms and…

In this paper, we classify finite categories with two objects such that one of the endomorphism monoids is a group. We prove that having a group on one side affects the structure of the other endomorphism monoid, and we prove that it is…

We introduce the notion of a crossed product of an algebra by a coalgebra $C$, which generalises the notion of a crossed product by a bialgebra well-studied in the theory of Hopf algebras. The result of such a crossed product is an algebra…

Holm (H. Holm, Modules with cosupport and injective functors, Algebr. Represent. Theor., 13 (2010), 543-560) considers categories of right modules dual to those with support in a set of finitely presented modules. We extend some of his…

We introduce the notion of a bicocycle double cross product (resp. sum) Lie group (resp. Lie algebra), and a bicocycle double cross product bialgebra, generalizing the unified products. On the level of Lie groups the construction yields a…

The notion of crossed product by a coquasi-bialgebra H is introduced and studied. The resulting crossed product is an algebra in the monoidal category of right H-comodules. We give an interpretation of the crossed product as an action of a…

This article investigates duals for bimodule categories over finite tensor categories. We show that finite bimodule categories form a tricategory and discuss the dualities in this tricategory using inner homs. We consider inner-product…

For a category B with finite products, we first characterize pseudofunctors from B to Cat whose corresponding opfibration is cartesian monoidal. Among those, we then characterize the ones which extend to pseudofunctors from internal groups…

We study properties of a group, abelian group, ring, or monoid $B$ which (a) guarantee that every homomorphism from an infinite direct product $\prod_I A_i$ of objects of the same sort onto $B$ factors through the direct product of finitely…

We show that the category of (reflexive) graphs and graph maps carries exactly two closed symmetric monoidal products: the box product and the categorical product.

We show that the category of numerically generated pointed spaces is complete, cocomplete, and monoidally closed with respect to the smash product, and then utilize these features to establish a simple but flexible method for constructing…

We show that every internal biequivalence in a tricategory T is part of a biadjoint biequivalence. We give two applications of this result, one for transporting monoidal structures and one for equipping a monoidal bicategory with invertible…

We prove that an object $U$ in a triangulated category with coproducts is silting if and only if it is a (weak) generator of the category, the orthogonal class $U^{\perp_{>0}}$ contains $U$, and $U^{\perp_{>0}}$ is closed under direct sums.…

This paper introduces an inherently strict presentation of categories with products, coproducts, or symmetric monoidal products that is inspired by file systems and directories. Rather than using nested binary tuples to combine objects or…

This is the central article of a series of three papers on cross product bialgebras. We present a universal theory of bialgebra factorizations (or cross product bialgebras) with cocycles and dual cocycles. We also provide an equivalent…

We define two coproducts for cycle-free oriented graphs, thus building up two commutative con- nected graded Hopf algebras, such that one is a comodule-coalgebra on the other, thus generalizing the result obtained previously for Hopf…

A convenient bicategory of topological stacks is constructed which is both complete and Cartesian closed. This bicategory, called the bicategory of compactly generated stacks, is the analogue of classical topological stacks, but for a…

In this paper we show how the theory of monads can be used to deduce in a uniform manner several duality theorems involving categories of relations on one side and categories of algebras with homomorphisms preserving only some operations on…
