We construct a model structure on the category $\mathrm{DblCat}$ of double categories and double functors, whose trivial fibrations are the double functors that are surjective on objects, full on horizontal and vertical morphisms, and fully…

We study monoidal categories that enjoy a certain weakening of the rigidity property, namely, the existence of a dualizing object in the sense of Grothendieck and Verdier. We call them Grothendieck-Verdier categories. Notable examples…

We study the monoidal structure of the standard strictification functor $\textrm{st}:\mathbf{Bicat} \rightarrow \mathbf{2Cat}$. In doing so, we construct monoidal structures on the 2-category whose objects are bicategories and on the…

Covariant Hom-bimodules are introduced and the structure theory of them in the Hom-setting is studied in a detailed way. The category of bicovariant Hom-bimodules is proved to be a (pre)braided monoidal category and its structure theory is…

We construct a model category (in the sense of Quillen) for set theory, starting from two arbitrary, but natural, conventions. It is the simplest category satisfying our conventions and modelling the notions of finiteness, countability and…

We develop techniques for constructing model structures on chain complexes valued in accessible exact categories, and apply this to show that for a closed symmetric monoidal, locally presentable exact category $\mathpzc{E}$ with exact…

We put a Quillen model structure on the category of small categories enriched in simplicial $k$-modules and non-negatively graded chain complexes of $k$-modules, where $k$ is a commutative ring. The model structure is obtained by transfer…

We introduce a tensor product for symmetric monoidal categories with the following properties. Let SMC denote the 2-category with objects small symmetric monoidal categories, arrows symmetric monoidal functors and 2-cells monoidal natural…

The skew monoidal categories of Szlach\'anyi are a weakening of monoidal categories where the three structural laws of left and right unitality and associativity are not required to be isomorphisms but merely transformations in a particular…

We consider algebras and Frobenius algebras, internal to a monoidal category, that are graded over a finite abelian group. For the case that A is a twisted group algebra in a linear abelian monoidal category we obtain a graded…

We construct an internal language for cartesian closed bicategories. Precisely, we introduce a type theory modelling the structure of a cartesian closed bicategory and show that its syntactic model satisfies an appropriate universal…

In the present article, we describe constructions of model structures on general bicomplete categories. We are motivated by the following question: given a category $\mathcal{C}$ with a subcategory $w\mathcal{C}$ closed under retracts, when…

The bicategorical point of view provides a natural setting for many concepts in the representation theory of monoidal categories. We show that centers of twisted bimodule categories correspond to categories of 2-dimensional natural…
