I motivate a variation (due to K. Szlach\'{a}nyi) of monoidal categories called skew-monoidal categories where the unital and associativity laws are not required to be isomorphisms, only natural transformations. Coherence has to be…

Noncompact groups, similar to those that appeared in various supergravity theories in the 1970's, have been turning up in recent studies of string theory. First it was discovered that moduli spaces of toroidal compactification are given by…

First, we give a functorial construction of a group associated to a symmetric operad. Applied to the endomorphism operad it gives the group of formal diffeomorphisms. Second, we associate a symmetric operad to any family of decorated graphs…

The paper constructs new Hecke endomorphism algebras with a stratified structure. A novel feature of the proof is to approach difficult Ext^1 vanishing conditions by building entire exact category structures in which the analogous vanishing…

We introduce a strategy to study irreducible representations of automorphism groups of finite modules over local rings. We prove that these automorphism groups fit in a hierarchy that facilitates a stratification of their irreducible…

Hecke-Kiselman monoids $\textrm{HK}_{\Theta}$ and their algebras $K[\textrm{HK}_{\Theta}]$, over a field $K$, associated to finite oriented graphs $\Theta$ are studied. In the case $\Theta $ is a cycle of length $n\geqslant 3$, a hierarchy…

The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups $G$, and to describe their connections to classical representation…

A special family of partitions occurs in two apparently unrelated contexts: the evaluation of 1-dimensional configuration sums of certain RSOS models, and the modular representation theory of symmetric groups or their Hecke algebras $H_m$.…

We modify a previous result, which showed that certain diagrams of spaces are essentially simplicial monoids, to construct diagrams of spaces which model simplicial groups. Furthermore, we show that these diagrams can be generalized to…

We summarize the main known results involving subword reversing, a method of semigroup theory for constructing van Kampen diagrams by referring to a preferred direction. In good cases, the method provides a powerful tool for investigating…

We introduce a new type of weakly enriched categories over a given symmetric monoidal model category M; these are called Co-Segal categories. Their definition derives from the philosophy of classical (enriched) Segal categories. We study…

Adhesive categories provide an abstract framework for the algebraic approach to rewriting theory, where many general results can be recast and uniformly proved. However, checking that a model satisfies the adhesivity properties is sometimes…

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…

There is a well-known correspondence between coherent theories (and their interpretations) and coherent categories (resp. functors), hence the (2,1)-category $\mathbf{Coh_{\sim}}$ (of small coherent categories, coherent functors and all…

Diagram chasing is a customary proof method used in category theory and homological algebra. It involves an element-theoretic approach to show that certain properties hold for a commutative diagram. When dealing with abelian categories for…
