This article provides an alternate characterization of dagger categories, which are central to the study of categorical quantum mechanics, in terms of inner product categories. An inner product category is an "achiral involutive" category…

We apply Frobenius integrability theorem in the search of invariants for one-dimensional Hamiltonian systems with a time-dependent potential. We obtain several classes of potential functions for which Frobenius theorem assures the existence…

An affine monoid is an additive monoid which is cancellative, pointed and finitely generated. An affine monoid $\Lambda$ has the partial order defined by $\lambda \le \lambda + \mu$. The Frobenius complex is the order complex of an open…

The monoidal version of classical Morita theory is a theory of bialgebroids. To make this explicit we construct a bicategory the objects of which are the bialgebroids and in which equivalence of objects means that the corresponding module…

Cartesian differential categories come equipped with a differential combinator which axiomatizes the fundamental properties of the total derivative from differential calculus. The objective of this paper is to understand when the Kleisli…

In this paper, motivated by the theory of operads and PROPs we reveal the combinatorial nature of tensor calculus for strict tensor categories and show that there exists a monad which is described by the coarse-graining of graphs and…

Presentations of categories are a well-known algebraic tool to provide descriptions of categories by means of generators, for objects and morphisms, and relations on morphisms. We generalize here this notion, in order to consider situations…

A general result relating skew monoidal structures and monads is proved. This is applied to quantum categories and bialgebroids. Ordinary categories are monads in the bicategory whose morphisms are spans between sets. Quantum categories…

We explore the relationship between polynomial functors and (rooted) trees. In the first part we use polynomial functors to derive a new convenient formalism for trees, and obtain a natural and conceptual construction of the category…

We consider the terminal monad among those preserving the objects of a subcategory, and in particular preserving the image of a monad. Several common monads are shown to be uniquely characterized by the property of being terminal objects in…

In this paper we provide a detailed construction of an equivalence between the category of Lawvere theories and the category of relative monads on the obvious functor $Jf:F\rightarrow Sets$ where $F$ is the category with the set of objects…

We extend the theory of Sweeder's measuring comonoids to the framework of duoidal categories: categories equipped with two compatible monoidal structures. We use one of the tensor products to endow the category of monoids for the other with…

Categories are coreflectively embedded in multicategories via the "discrete cocone" construction, the right adjoint being given by the monoid construction. Furthermore, the adjunction lifts to the "cartesian level": preadditive categories…

We establish relations between Gorenstein projective precovers linked by Frobenius functors. This is motivated by an open problem that how to find general classes of rings for which modules have Gorenstein projective precovers. It is shown…

It is well known that strong monoidal functors preserve duals. In this short note we show that a slightly weaker version of functor, which we call "Frobenius monoidal", is sufficient.

Let $b$, $b'$ be commutative monoids in a B\'{e}nabou cosmos. Motivated by six-functor formalisms in algebraic geometry, we prove that the category of commutative monoids over $b\otimes b'$ is equivalent to the category of cocontinuous lax…
