Categories are coreflectively embedded in multicategories via the "discrete cocone" construction, the right adjoint being given by the monoid construction. Furthermore, the adjunction lifts to the "cartesian level": preadditive categories…

We introduce a notion of complexity of diagrams (and in particular of objects and morphisms) in an arbitrary category, as well as a notion of complexity of functors between categories equipped with complexity functions. We discuss several…

It is well-known that every convex function admits an affine support at every interior point of a domain. Convex functions of higher order (precisely of an odd order) have a similar property: they are supported by the polynomials of degree…

It is well-known that biological phenomena are emergent. Emergent phenomena are quite interesting and amazing. However, they are difficult to be understood. Due to this difficulty, we propose a theory to describe emergence based on a…

We propose a new framework for integrating quantifiers with other logical connectives in a higher-categorical setting. Our method systematically incorporates key coherence conditions-including those akin to the Beck-Chevalley property-and…

This short introductory category theory textbook is for readers with relatively little mathematical background (e.g. the first half of an undergraduate mathematics degree). At its heart is the concept of a universal property, important…

We exhibit an adjunction between a category of abstract algebras of partial functions and a category of set quotients. The algebras are those atomic algebras representable as a collection of partial functions closed under relative…

Modelling concept representation is a foundational problem in the study of cognition and linguistics. This work builds on the confluence of conceptual tools from G\"ardenfors semantic spaces, categorical compositional linguistics, and…

For every adjunction of stable $\infty$-categories -- or more generally, in any locally stable $(\infty,2)$-category -- we give a simple procedure for inverting the twist and cotwist functors associated to this adjunction. As a consequence,…

In category theory, the use of string diagrams is well known to aid in the intuitive understanding of certain concepts, particularly when dealing with adjunctions and monoidal categories. We show that string diagrams are also useful in…

It is shown that the multiplicative monoids of Temperley-Lieb algebras generated out of the basis are isomorphic to monoids of endomorphisms in categories where an endofunctor is adjoint to itself. Such a self-adjunction is found in a…

We develop a homotopy theory for additive categories endowed with endofunctors, analogous to the concept of a model structure. We use it to construct the homotopy theory of a Hovey triple (which consists of two compatible complete cotorsion…

A new calculus of planar diagrams involving diagrammatics for biadjoint functors and degenerate affine Hecke algebras is introduced. The calculus leads to an additive monoidal category whose Grothendieck ring contains an integral form of…

The contributions of this paper are twofold. Within the framework of Grothendieck's fibrational category theory, we present a web of fundamental 2-adjunctions surrounding the formation of the category of all small diagrams in a given…

A notion of a coring extension is defined and it is related to the existence of an additive functor between comodule categories that factorises through forgetful functors. This correspondence between coring extensions and factorisable…

For each pair of lax-idempotent pseudomonads $R$ and $I$, for which $I$ is locally fully faithful and $R$ distributes over $I$, we establish an adjoint functor theorem, relating $R$-cocontinuity to adjointness relative to $I$. This provides…

We study the subcategory of topological operads $P$ such that $P(0) = *$ (the category of unitary operads in our terminology). We use that this category inherits a model structure, like the category of all operads in topological spaces, and…

Representation theorems relate seemingly complex objects to concrete, more tractable ones. In this paper, we take advantage of the abstraction power of category theory and provide a general representation theorem for a wide class of…

We develop a bicategorical setup in which one can speak about adjoint 1-morphisms even in the absence of genuine identity 1-morphisms. We also investigate which part of 2-representation theory of 2-categories extends to this new setup.

Combinatorial categories satisfy a stronger form of Yoneda Lemma, namely, the isomorphism type of an object can be recovered by counting the number of homomorphisms from all other objects into it. In this work, we show that this property…
