We design a Rocq library about adhesive categories, using Hierarchy Builder (HB). It is built around two hierarchies. The first is for categories, with usual categories at the bottom and adhesive categories at the top, with weaker variants…

We provide an effect system CatEff based on a category-graded extension of algebraic theories that correspond to category-graded monads. CatEff has category-graded operations and handlers. Effects in CatEff are graded by morphisms of the…

The feasibility of a classification-by-rank program for modular categories follows from the Rank-Finiteness Theorem. We develop arithmetic, representation theoretic and algebraic methods for classifying modular categories by rank. As an…

We discuss some aspects of our work on the mechanization of syntax and semantics in the UniMath library, based on the proof assistant Coq. We focus on experiences where Coq (as a type-theoretic proof assistant with decidable typechecking)…

Classically domain theory is a rigourous mathematical structure to describe denotational semantics for programming languages and to study the computability of partial functions. Recently, the application of domain theory has also been…

An $\infty$-cosmos is a setting in which to develop the formal category theory of $(\infty,1)$-categories. In this paper, we explore a few atypical examples of $\infty$-cosmoi whose objects are 2-categories or bicategories rather than…

We introduce an abstract concept of quantum field theory on categories fibered in groupoids over the category of spacetimes. This provides us with a general and flexible framework to study quantum field theories defined on spacetimes with…

The aim of this paper is to refine and extend proposals by Sozeau and Tabareau and by Voevodsky for universe polymorphism in type theory. In those systems judgments can depend on explicit constraints between universe levels. We here present…

Category theory is famous for its innovative way of thinking of concepts by their descriptions, in particular by establishing universal properties. Concepts that can be characterized in a universal way receive a certain quality seal, which…

We define a computational type theory combining the contentful equality structure of cartesian cubical type theory with internal parametricity primitives. The combined theory supports both univalence and its relational equivalent, which we…

Recent work in set theory indicates that there are many different notions of 'set', each captured by a different collection of axioms, as proposed by J. Hamkins in [Ham11]. In this paper we strive to give one class theory that allows for a…

Category theory is the language of homological algebra, allowing us to state broadly applicable theorems and results without needing to specify the details for every instance of analogous objects. However, authors often stray from the realm…

A generalization of an inverse system in a category was recently introduced, as well as that of the corresponding pro-category These so called the delay-inverse systems and delay-pro-category could potentially yield a new theory of (delay-)…

We present the first definition of strictly associative and unital $\infty$-category. Our proposal takes the form of a type theory whose terms describe the operations of such structures, and whose definitional equality relation enforces…

We use type-theoretic techniques to present an algebraic theory of $\infty$-categories with strict units. Starting with a known type-theoretic presentation of fully weak $\infty$-categories, in which terms denote valid operations, we extend…

We derive the category-theoretic backbone of quantum theory from a process ontology. More specifically, we treat quantum theory as a theory of systems, processes and their interactions. In this first part of a three-part overview, we first…

2-Theories are a canonical way of describing categories with extra structure. 2-theory-morphisms are used when discussing how one structure can be replaced with another structure. This is central to categorical coherence theory. We place a…
