We show how, under certain conditions, an adjoint pair of braided monoidal functors can be lifted to an adjoint pair between categories of Hopf algebras. This leads us to an abstract version of Michaelis' theorem, stating that given a Hopf…

Employing a formal analogy between ordered sets and topological spaces, over the past years we have investigated a notion of cocompleteness for topological, approach and other kind of spaces. In this new context, the down-set monad becomes…

We study discrete opfibration classifiers in enhanced 2-categories and show how, under suitable hypotheses, such classifiers can be endowed with the structure of a (lax or pseudo-)T-algebra and classify strict discrete opfibrations in…

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…

Protoadditive functors are designed to replace additive functors in a non-abelian setting. Their properties are studied, in particular in relationship with torsion theories, Galois theory, homology and factorisation systems. It is shown how…

We provide a complete generators and relations presentation of the 2-dimensional extended unoriented and oriented bordism bicategories as symmetric monoidal bicategories. Thereby we classify these types of 2-dimensional extended topological…

Mackey functors provide the coefficient systems for equivariant cohomology theories. More generally, enriched presheaf categories provide a classification and organization for many stable model categories of interest. Changing enrichments…

This paper considers some extensions of the notion of filter to the quantale-valued context, including saturated prefilter, $\top$-filter and bounded saturated prefilter. The question is whether these constructions give rise to monads on…

Nonrigid mathematical structures may no longer form usual Eilenberg - Mac Lane categories, but more general ones, as illustrated by pseudo-topologies. A rather general concept of pseudo-topology was used in constructing differential…

We introduce a notion of (co)presheaf on a lax double functor $X$, which we generally call an instance. In the terminology of double-categorical logic, a lax double functor valued in sets, possibly preserving finite products, is called a…

Classical multi-sorted equational theories and their free algebras have been fundamental in mathematics and computer science. In this paper, we present a generalization of multi-sorted equational theories from the classical ($Set$-enriched)…

We associate to a projective $n$-dimensional toric variety $X_{\Delta}$ a pair of co-commutative (but generally non-commutative) Hopf algebras $H^{\alpha}_X, H^{T}_X$. These arise as Hall algebras of certain categories $\Coh^{\alpha}(X),…

This rough note describes some attempts to define a notion of enriched topology (and the associated theory of enriched stacks) on a category enriched over a symmetric monoidal model category, and poses some related questions.

This article is an introduction to the basic generalized category theory used in recent work on an extension of the theory of categories and categorical logic, including parts of topos theory. We discuss functors, equivalences, natural…

This paper investigates the interplay between properties of a topological space $X$, in particular of its natural order, and properties of the lax comma category $\mathsf{Top} \Downarrow X$, where $\mathsf{Top}$ denotes the category of…

Quantum categories were introduced in [4] as generalizations of both bi(co)algebroids and small categories. We clarify details of that work. In particular, we show explicitly how the monadic definition of a quantum category unpacks to a set…

{\em Galois comodules} over a coring can be characterised by properties of the relative injective comodules. They motivated the definition of {\em Galois functors} over some comonad (or monad) on any category and in the first section of the…

As shown in a previous paper by the same authors, the theory of Galois functors provides a categorical framework for the characterisation of bimonads on any category as Hopf monads and also for the characterisation of opmonoidal monads on…

This is the first in a series of papers devoted to foundations of topological stacks. We begin developing a homotopy theory for topological stacks along the lines of classical homotopy theory of topological spaces. In this paper we go as…

A weak entwining structure in a 2-category K consists of a monad t and a comonad c, together with a 2-cell relating both structures in a way that generalizes a mixed distributive law.A weak entwining structure can be characterized as a…
