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…
For a small quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, it is shown that the category of $\mathcal{Q}$-distributors and diagonals is equivalent to a quotient category of the category of $\mathcal{Q}$-interior spaces and continuous $\mathcal{Q}$-distributors.…
We give a lightweight alternative construction of Jacobs's distributive law for multisets and distributions that does not involve any combinatorics. We first give a distributive law for lists and distributions, then apply a general theorem…
We study the topos of sets equipped with an action of the monoid of regular $2 \times 2$ matrices over the integers. In particular, we show that the topos-theoretic points are given by the double quotient $\left. GL_2(\hat{\mathbb{Z}})…
We show that the limiting distributions of the coefficients of the $q$-Catalan numbers and the generalized $q$-Catalan numbers are normal. Despite the fact that these coefficients are not unimodal for small $n$, we conjecture that for…
We extend the 2-representation theory of finitary 2-categories to certain 2-categories with infinitely many objects, denoted locally finitary 2-categories, and extend the classical classification results of simple transitive…
This paper shows how internal models for polymorphic lambda calculi arise in any 2-category with a notion of discreteness. We generalise to a 2-categorical setting the famous theorem of Peter Freyd saying that there are no sufficiently…
We extend the notion of a factorization system in a category to the realm of $\infty$-categories. To this end, we provide a description of the category of $\infty$-categories with factorization systems as the category of presheaves of…
We identify additional structure on a conservative lax monoidal functor from a closed monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$ to a Grothendieck-Verdier category $\mathcal{D}$, such that the Grothendieck-Verdier structure of $\mathcal{D}$ lifts to…
In this note, we define an analogue of R-matrices for bialgebras in the setting of a monad that is opmonoidal over two tensor products. Analogous to the classical case, such structures bijectively correspond to duoidal structures on the…
The topological charge density and topological susceptibility are determined by multi-probing approximation using overlap fermions in quenched SU(3) gauge theory. Then we investigate the topological structure of the quenched QCD vacuum, and…
We introduce a candidate for the inner hom for $Dbl^{st}_{lx}$, the category of strict double categories and lax double functors, and characterize a lax double functor into it obtaining a lax double quasi-functor. The latter consists of a…
We introduce elliptic weights of boxed plane partitions and prove that they give rise to a generalization of MacMahon's product formula for the number of plane partitions in a box. We then focus on the most general positive degenerations of…
Distributive laws between two monads in a 2-category $\CK$, as defined by Jon Beck in the case $\CK=\mathrm{Cat}$, were pointed out by the author to be monads in a 2-category $\mathrm{Mnd}\CK$ of monads. Steve Lack and the author defined…
We present an algorithm for deriving a spatial-behavioral type system from a formal presentation of a computational calculus. Given a 2-monad Calc: Catv$\to$ Cat for the free calculus on a category of terms and rewrites and a 2-monad…
In 2008, Loday shed light on the existence of Hopf-Boreltheorems for operads. Using the vocabulary of category theory, Livernet,Mesablishvili and Wisbauer extended such theorems to monads. In bothcases, the reasoning was to start from a…
By considering the situation in which the involved pseudomonads are presented in no-iteration form, we deduce a number of alternative presentations of pseudodistributive laws including a 'decagon' form, a pseudoalgebra form, a no-iteration…
Given two polynomials $p(x), q(x)$ of degree $d$, we give a combinatorial formula for the finite free cumulants of $p(x)\boxtimes_d q(x)$. We show that this formula admits a topological expansion in terms of non-crossing multi-annular…
Recently, Boehm and Stefan constructed duplicial (paracyclic) objects from distributive laws between (co)monads. Here we define the category of factorisations of a distributive law, show that it acts on this construction, and give some…
Linearly distributive categories (LDC), introduced by Cockett and Seely to model multiplicative linear logic, are categories equipped with two monoidal structures that interact via linear distributivities. A seminal result in monoidal…
