We construct a model structure on the category $\mathrm{DblCat}$ of double categories and double functors. Unlike previous model structures for double categories, it recovers the homotopy theory of 2-categories through the horizontal…
We provide a definition of enrichment that applies to a wide variety of categorical structures, generalizing Leinster's theory of enriched $T$-multicategories. As a sample of newly enrichable structures, we describe in detail the examples…
We prove an adjoint functor theorem in the setting of categories enriched in a monoidal model category $\mathcal V$ admitting certain limits. When $\mathcal V$ is equipped with the trivial model structure this recaptures the enriched…
We study monads in the (pseudo-)double category $\mathbf{KSW}(\mathcal{K})$ where loose arrows are Mealy automata valued in an ambient monoidal category $\mathcal{K}$, and the category of tight arrows is $\mathcal{K}$. Such monads turn out…
We give a general categorical construction that yields several monads of measures and distributions as special cases, alongside several monads of filters. The construction takes place within a categorical setting for generalized functional…
Bondarko's (strong) weight complex functor is a triangulated functor from Voevodsky's triangulated category of motives to the homotopy category of chain complexes of classical Chow motives. Its construction is valid for any dg enhanced…
Given a 2-category $\twocat{K}$ admitting a calculus of bimodules, and a 2-monad T on it compatible with such calculus, we construct a 2-category $\twocat{L}$ with a 2-monad S on it such that: (1)S has the adjoint-pseudo-algebra property.…
Abstract inner automorphisms can be used to promote any category into a 2-category, and we study two-dimensional limits and colimits in the resulting 2-categories. Existing connected colimits and limits in the starting category become…
Let $\lL(A)$ denote the coendomorphism left $R$-bialgebroid associated to a left finitely generated and projective extension of rings $R \to A$ with identities. We show that the category of left comodules over an epimorphic image of…
We study 2-monads and their algebras using a Cat-enriched version of Quillen model categories, emphasizing the parallels between the homotopical and 2-categorical points of view. Every 2-category with finite limits and colimits has a…
We investigate monoidal categories of formal contexts, in which states correspond to formal concepts. In particular we examine the category of bonds or Chu correspondences between contexts, which is known to be equivalent to the…
A fundamental step towards studying string theory vacua, and, ultimately, their stability, is that of understanding the underlying mathematical structure of the QFT resulting from its dimensional reduction on Calabi-Yau (CY) manifolds, the…
In this paper we introduce the notion of a relative volutive (higher) category, specializing to the notion of a lax volutive (higher) category. Our primary motivation to study these objects is the following: while any rigid symmetric…
This paper introduces the notion of weakly globular double categories, a particular class of strict double categories, as a way to model weak 2-categories; it explores its use in defining a double category of fractions, and shows that the…
An operad (this paper deals with non-symmetric operads)may be conceived as a partial algebra with a family of insertion operations, Gerstenhaber's circle-i products, which satisfy two kinds of associativity, one of them involving…
Abstract clones serve as an algebraic presentation of the syntax of a simple type theory. From the perspective of universal algebra, they define algebraic theories like those of groups, monoids and rings. This link allows one to study the…
We generalize proarrow equipments from strict category theory to the $\infty$-categorical setting, introducing the concept of $\infty$-equipments. These are specific double $\infty$-categories that support an internal higher category…
Operads often arise from geometry. The standard $A_\infty$ operad can be derived from the cellular chains on the Stasheff associahedra, and an $A_\infty$ algebra is an algebra over this operad. The notion of an $\mathbf{fc}$-multicategory,…
This purpose of this book is twofold: to provide a general introduction to higher category theory (using the formalism of "quasicategories" or "weak Kan complexes"), and to apply this theory to the study of higher versions of Grothendieck…
The scientific and practical needs of the twenty-first century lead humankind to convergence of the specialized and diverse branches of science and technology. This convergence reveals the need for new mathematical theories capable of…
