A compact polyhedron $X$ is said to have the Bounded Index Property for Homotopy Equivalence (BIPHE) if there is a finite bound $\mathcal{B}$ such that for any homotopy equivalence $f:X\rightarrow X$ and any fixed point class $\mathbf{F}$…

Graduated locally finitely presentable categories are introduced, examples include categories of sets, vector spaces, posets, presheaves and Boolean algebras. A finitary functor between graduated locally finitely presentable categories is…

We consider metric ultraproducts of finite groups with respect to some classes of length functions. All sofic groups embed into these ultraproducts. We study embeddings of normed groups. We also show that in some natural situations such an…

We compute the quantum double, braiding and other canonical Hopf algebra constructions for the bicrossproduct Hopf algebra $H$ associated to the factorization of a finite group into two subgroups. The representations of the quantum double…

We classify all finite groups G such that the product of any two non-inverse conjugacy classes of G is always a conjugacy class of G. We also classify all finite groups G for which the product of any two G-conjugacy classes which are not…

We show that, under some mild conditions, a bialgebra in an abelian and coabelian braided monoidal category has a weak projection onto a formally smooth (as a coalgebra) sub-bialgebra with antipode; see Theorem 1.12. In the second part of…

We prove that the module categories of Noether algebras (i.e., algebras module finite over a noetherian center) and affine noetherian PI algebras over a field enjoy the following product property: Whenever a direct product $\prod_{n \in…

A characterization of simplicial objects in categories with finite products obtained by the reduced bar construction is given. The condition that characterizes such simplicial objects is a strictification of Segal's condition guaranteeing…

This paper studies the duals of some finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebras, with abelian group of grouplikes, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, which are either Radford biproducts or else nontrivial liftings of a…

The direct product $\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{N}$ of two free monogenic semigroups contains uncountably many pairwise non-isomorphic subdirect products. Furthermore, the following hold for $\mathbb{N}\times S$, where $S$ is a finite…

Let X be a CW complex with a continuous action of a topological group G. We show that if X is equivariantly formal for singular cohomology with coefficients in a field, then so are all symmetric products of X and in fact all its…

In this paper, we elaborate ring theoretic properties of nodal orders. In particular, we prove that they are closed under taking crossed products with finite groups.

Let H be a bialgebra and D an H-bimodule algebra H-bicomodule coalgebra. We find sufficient conditions on D for the L-R-smash product algebra and coalgebra structures on D\otimes H to form a bialgebra (in this case we say that (H, D) is an…

We prove that certain coinduced actions for an inclusion of finitely generated commensurated subgroups with relative one end are continuous cocycle superrigid actions. We also show the necessity for the relative end assumption.

Let $C$ be a $k$-coalgebra, where $k$ is a field. The category of pseudocompact left $C^*$-modules is dual to both the category of discrete right $C^*$-modules and to the category of left $C$-comodules. We obtain this way two sides of a…

We study monoidal 2-categories and bicategories in terms of categorical extensions and the cohomological data they determine in appropriate cohomology theories with coefficients in Picard groupoids. In particular, we analyze the hierarchy…

We call product generator of an additive category a fixed object satisfying the property that every other object is a direct factor of a product of copies of it. In this paper we start with an additive category with products and images,…

In general, universal (co)measuring (co)monoids and universal (co)acting bi/Hopf monoids, which prove to be a useful tool in the classification of quantum symmetries, do not always exist. In order to ensure their existence, the support of a…

A modular object in a symmetric monoidal bicategory is a Frobenius algebra object whose product and coproduct are biadjoint, equipped with a braided structure and a compatible twist, satisfying rigidity, ribbon, pivotality, and modularity…

We prove that the monoidal 2-category of cospans of finite linear orders and surjections is the universal monoidal category with an object X with a semigroup and a cosemigroup structures, where the two structures satisfy a certain…
