We prove that the only natural differential operations between holomorphic forms on a complex manifold are those obtained using linear combinations, the exterior product and the exterior differential. In order to accomplish this task we…

This paper is, essentially, a survey related to the problem of understanding the combinatorics of the action of the monoidal category of finite dimensional modules over a simple finite dimensional Lie algebra on various categories of Lie…

The smooth action of a compact Lie group on a compact manifold can be resolved to an iterated space, as made explicit by Pierre Albin and the second author. On the resolution the lifted action has fixed isotropy type corresponding to the…

Using the strong relation between coactions of a discrete group G on C*-algebras and Fell bundles over G, we prove a new version of Mansfield's imprimitivity theorem for coactions of discrete groups. Our imprimitivity theorem works for the…

In this work, we revisit abelian S-duality in the context of higher gauge theory. By using a specific crossed module a set of transformations arise, which are known as the "thin" and "fat" transformations. The "fat" transformations are the…

We explain that general differential calculus and Lie theory have a common foundation: Lie Calculus is differential calculus, seen from the point of view of Lie theory, by making use of the groupoid concept as link between them. Higher…

We study Lie foliations on compact manifolds, in case the Lie group is compact. Our main results improve Tischler classical result on the existence of fibration and, as an application, we study the case the manifold has an amenable…

Equivariant monoids are very important objects in many branches of mathematics: they combine the notion of multiplication and the concept of a group action. In this paper we will construct categories which encode the structure borne by…

In this letter we address the problem of inducing boundary degrees of freedom from a bulk theory whose action contains higher-derivative corrections. As a model example we consider a topological theory with an action that has only a…

Partial connections are (singular) differential systems generalizing classical connections on principal bundles, yielding analogous decompositions for manifolds with nonfree group actions. Connection forms are interpreted as maps…

A review of the characterization of principal bundles, through the different properties of the action of a group and its related canonical and translation maps, is presented. The work is divided in three stages: a topological group acting…

In order to deduce the internal version of the Brown exact sequence from the internal version of the Gabriel-Zisman exact sequence, we characterize fibrations and $\ast$-fibrations in the 2-category of internal groupoids in terms of the…

We show that representations of the loop braid group arise from Aharonov-Bohm like effects in finite 2-group (3+1)-dimensional topological higher gauge theory. For this we introduce a minimal categorification of biracks, which we call…

We give a Quillen equivalence between model structures for simplicial operads, described via the theory of operads, and Segal operads, thought of as certain reduced dendroidal spaces. We then extend this result to give an Quillen…

We will show make two contributions to the theory of effective Kan fibrations, which are a more explicit version of the notion of a Kan fibration, a notion which plays a fundamental role in simplicial homotopy theory. We will show that…

We use foliations and connections on principal Lie groupoid bundles to prove various integrability results for Lie algebroids. In particular, we show, under quite general assumptions, that the semi-direct product associated to an…

Stacky Lie groupoids are generalizations of Lie groupoids in which the "space of arrows" of the groupoid is a differentiable stack. In this paper, we consider actions of stacky Lie groupoids on differentiable stacks and their associated…

We investigate the double cosets of a groupoid, focusing primarily on their enumeration, by means of two different approaches. The first approach extends the Cauchy-Frobenius lemma to groupoids and interprets it in terms of groupoid…

We study actions of discrete groups on 2-categories. The motivating examples are actions on the 2-category of representations of finite tensor categories and their relation with the extension theory of tensor categories by groups.…

We introduce a notion of ``$n$-dual'' to a simplicial vector space for $n\ge 0$. Coming with it, there is a canonical pairing, which we show to be non-degenerate up to homotopy for homotopy $n$-types. As a result this notion of duality is…
