The notion of (symmetric) coloured operad or "multicategory" can be obtained from the notion of commutative algebra through a certain general process which we call "theorization" (where our term comes from an analogy with William Lawvere's…
In various subjects including mathematics, one can hope to use mathematical thinking well when the right kinds of algebraic structure to consider can be discovered or spotted. Therefore, it would help to understand kinds of algebraic…
Higher structures - infinity algebras and other objects up to homotopy, categorified algebras, `oidified' concepts, operads, higher categories, higher Lie theory, higher gauge theory... - are currently intensively investigated in…
We survey Lawvere theories at the level of infinity categories, as an alternative framework for higher algebra (rather than infinity operads). From a pedagogical perspective, they make many key definitions and constructions less technical.…
This survey provides an elementary introduction to operads and to their applications in homotopical algebra. The aim is to explain how the notion of an operad was prompted by the necessity to have an algebraic object which encodes higher…
This text, based on the author's Bachelor's thesis, introduces the theory of Algebraic Operads, a mathematical formalism that provides a unifying framework for modern algebra. We demonstrate how the fundamental theories of associative,…
Categorical universal algebra can be developed either using Lawvere theories (single-sorted finite product theories) or using monads, and the category of Lawvere theories is equivalent to the category of finitary monads on Set. We show how…
This article develops a comprehensive theory of multiary graded polyadic algebras, extending the classical concept of group-graded algebras to higher-arity structures. We introduce the notion of grading by multiary groups and investigate…
Universal algebra uniformly captures various algebraic structures, by expressing them as equational theories or abstract clones. The ubiquity of algebraic structures in mathematics and related fields has given rise to several variants of…
This paper supplements [17], showing that categorically the layered theory is the same as the theory of ordered monoids (e.g. the max-plus algebra) used in tropical mathematics. A layered theory is developed in the context of categories,…
The development of mathematics has been characterized by the increasing interconnectivity of seemingly separate disciplines. Such interplay has been facilitated by a massive development in formalism; category theory has provided a common…
We introduce the study of parametrized higher category theory and parametrized higher algebra, and we describe the main theorems of the series of Expos\'es that make up the monograph.
A variety is a category of ordered (finitary) algebras presented by inequations between terms. We characterize categories enriched over the category of posets which are equivalent to a variety. This is quite analogous to Lawvere's classical…
We discuss the notion of linearization through examples, which include the Price map, PageRank, representation theory, the Euler characteristic and quantum invariants. We also review categorification, which adds an additional layer of…
Over the topos of sets, the notion of Lawvere theory is infinite countably-sorted algebraic but not one-sorted algebraic. Shifting viewpoint over the object-classifier topos, a finite algebraic presentation of Lawvere theories is…
This ongoing project aims to define and investigate, from the standpoint of category theory, order theory and universal algebra, the notions of higher-order many-sorted rewriting system and of higher-order many-sorted categorial algebra and…
Fiore and Hur recently introduced a conservative extension of universal algebra and equational logic from first to second order. Second-order universal algebra and second-order equational logic respectively provide a model theory and a…
We explain how categories, and groupoids, can be seen as models for a Lawvere ${\mathfrak Gr}$-theory, where ${\mathfrak Gr}$ is the category of graphs, and show that for Lawvere ${\mathfrak Gr}$-theories finitely presentable models are…
We define the notion of a multi-sorted algebraic theory, which is a generalization of an algebraic theory in which the objects are of different "sorts." We prove a rigidification result for simplicial algebras over these theories, showing…
In the last decades, several objects such as grammars, economical agents, laws of physics... have been defined as algorithms. In particular, after Brouwer, Heyting, and Kolomogorov, mathematical proofs have been defined as algorithms. In…
