We give a self-contained introduction to accessible categories and how they shed light on both model- and set-theoretic questions. We survey for example recent developments on the study of presentability ranks, a notion of cardinality…

Quantitative algebras are $\Sigma$-algebras acting on metric spaces, where operations are nonexpanding. Mardare, Panangaden and Plotkin introduced 1-basic varieties as categories of quantitative algebras presented by quantitative equations.…

Lenses encode protocols for synchronising systems. We continue the work begun by Chollet et al. at the Applied Category Theory Adjoint School in 2020 to study the properties of the category of small categories and asymmetric delta lenses.…

We introduce two novel complementary notions of the Lefschetz number for a functor from a finite acyclic category to itself and we prove a Lefschetz fixed-object theorem and a Lefschetz fixed-morphism theorem. In order to do so, we use the…

Definable subcategories may be extended along a ring homomorphism directly, by using their defining conditions in the new module category, or by tensoring up with the new ring. We investigate what is preserved and reflected by these…

We demonstrate that any full and faithful $*$-functor between approximable categories of locally finite coarse spaces induces a coarse embedding between the underlying spaces. Furthermore, we establish a general characterisation of such…

We show that every group $H$ of at most exponential growth with respect to some left invariant metric admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into a finitely generated group $G$ such that $G$ is amenable (respectively, solvable, satisfies a…

We use the terms $\infty$-categories and $\infty$-functors to mean the objects and morphisms in an $\infty$-cosmos: a simplicially enriched category satisfying a few axioms, reminiscent of an enriched category of fibrant objects.…

While teaching untyped $\lambda$-calculus to undergraduate students, we were wondering why $\alpha$-equivalence is not directly inductively defined. In this paper, we demonstrate that this is indeed feasible. Specifically, we provide a…

We consider notions of metrized categories, and then approximate categorical structures defined by a function of three variables generalizing the notion of $2$-metric space. We prove an embedding theorem giving sufficient conditions for an…

We provide a more economical refined version of Evrard's categorical cocylinder factorization of a functor [Ev1,2]. We show that any functor between small categories can be factored into a homotopy equivalence followed by a (co)fibred…

A lower semi-definite self-adjoint linear operator in a Hilbert space is taken whose discrete spectrum is not empty and comprises at least several eigenvalues $\lambda_{min}=\lambda_1\leqslant\ldots\leqslant\lambda_m<\sigma_{ess}$. The…

By a result of Orlov there always exists an embedding of the derived category of a finite-dimensional algebra of finite global dimension into the derived category of a high-dimensional smooth projective variety. In this article we give some…

We look at equivalence relations on the set of models of a theory -- MERs, for short -- such that the class of equivalent pairs is itself an elementary class, in a language appropriate for pairs of models. We provide many examples of…

The purpose of this work is to complete the algebraic foundations of second-order languages from the viewpoint of categorical algebra as developed by Lawvere. To this end, this paper introduces the notion of second-order algebraic theory…

Our main result establishes functorial desingularization of noetherian quasi-excellent schemes over $\bfQ$ with ordered boundaries. A functorial embedded desingularization of quasi-excellent schemes of characteristic zero is deduced.…

We extend the notion of exact completion on a weakly lex category to elementary doctrines. We show how any such doctrine admits an elementary quotient completion, which freely adds effective quotients and extensional equality. We note that…

The aim of this paper is to to show the admissibility of some class of Frechet spaces (see Definition 2.3). In particular, this generalizes the main results of [3]. As an application, we show the admissibility of a large class modular…
