We introduce a systematic method for constructing set-theoretic operads via iterated application of the power set functor, and use it to uncover a hierarchy connecting several classical operads. Starting from the permutative operad, the…
We generalize the small object argument in order to allow for its application to proper classes of maps (as opposed to sets of maps in Quillen's small object argument). The necessity of such a generalization arose with appearance of several…
We study polynomial functors over locally cartesian closed categories. After setting up the basic theory, we show how polynomial functors assemble into a double category, in fact a framed bicategory. We show that the free monad on a…
In this paper we give an algorithmic description of Freyd categories that subsumes and enhances the usual approach to finitely presented modules in computer algebra. The upshot is a constructive approach to finitely presented functors that…
This is a report on aspects of the theory and use of monoidal categories. The first section introduces the main concepts through the example of the category of vector spaces. String notation is explained and shown to lead naturally to a…
In this paper, we propose a method for constructing a colored $(d+1)$-operad $\mathbf{seq}_d$ in $\mathrm{Sets}$, in the sense of Batanin [Ba1,2], whose category of colors (=the category of unary operations) is the category $\Theta_d$, dual…
We introduce the notion of a diagram category and discuss its application to the invariant theory of classical groups and super groups, with some indications concerning extensions to quantum groups and quantum super groups. Tensor functors…
The Fukaya category of a punctured surface can be reconstructed from a pair-of-pants decomposition using a formal construction that attaches a category to a trivalent graph. We extend this formal construction to include a choice of line…
We provide bar and cobar constructions as functors acting between various categories of curved operads and curved cooperads. Cobar and bar constructions are adjoint to each other. Given a twisting cochain between a curved augmented cooperad…
For a finite group G, we introduce the complete suboperad $Q_G$ of the categorical G-Barratt-Eccles operad $P_G$. We prove that $P_G$ is not finitely generated, but $Q_G$ is finitely generated and is a genuine $E_\infty$ G-operad (i.e., it…
Notions of `operad' and `multicategory' abound. This work provides a single framework in which many of these various notions can be expressed. Explicitly: given a monad * on a category S, we define the term `(S,*)-multicategory', subject to…
We consider colored operads and their actions on categories. As a special example we construct a cobordism category with a colored operad action arising from oriented planar arc diagrams. This is used to construct an invariant of oriented…
We construct a symmetric monoidal closed category of polynomial endofunctors (as objects) and simulation cells (as morphisms). This structure is defined using universal properties without reference to representing polynomial diagrams and is…
We introduce an enriched notion of a coalgebra over an operad P in a symmetric monoidal V-category C. When C is semicartesian and P is unital, we construct a V-endofunctor on C associated to P and give conditions under which it is a…
We study a class of combinatorial objects that we call "decorated trees". These consist of vertices, arrows and edges, where each edge is decorated by two integers (one near each of its endpoints), each arrow is decorated by an integer, and…
T*-categories are introduced as a ternary generalization of C*-categories. Their linking C*-categories are constructed and the Gelfand-Naimark representation theorems of Zettl for C*-ternary rings and for W*-ternary rings, are generalized…
This article serves as a preliminary introduction to the design of a new, open-source applied and computational category theory framework, named Categorica, built on top of the Wolfram Language. Categorica allows one to configure and…
Coloured PROPs are a generalisation of coloured operads. In this article, we prove the existence of a Dwyer-Kan model structure on the category of small coloured PROPs enriched in a (sufficiently nice) monoidal model category V. This model…
We introduce continuous Frobenius categories. These are topological categories which are constructed using representations of the circle over a discrete valuation ring. We show that they are Krull-Schmidt with one indecomposable object for…
Suppose $G$ is a finite group. In this paper, we construct an equivalence between the $\infty$-category of algebras over an $N_{\infty}$-operad $\mathcal{O}$ associated to a $G$-indexing system $\mathcal{I}$ and the corresponding…
