The general structure of the representation theory of a $Z_2$-graded coalgebra is discussed. The result contains the structure of Fourier analysis on compact supergroups and quantisations thereof as a special case. The general linear…
In terms of category theory, the Gromov homotopy principle for a set valued functor $F$ asserts that the functor $F$ can be induced from a homotopy functor. Similarly, we say that the bordism principle for an abelian group valued functor…
We describe a fully faithful embedding of the category of (reflexive) globular sets into the category of counital cosymmetric $R$-coalgebras when $R$ is an integral domain. This embedding is a lift of the usual functor of $R$-chains and the…
We develop a theory of localization for braid group representations associated with objects in braided fusion categories and, more generally, to Yang-Baxter operators in monoidal categories. The essential problem is to determine when a…
We introduce a notion of complexity of diagrams (and in particular of objects and morphisms) in an arbitrary category, as well as a notion of complexity of functors between categories equipped with complexity functions. We discuss several…
We produce a fully faithful functor from finite type nilpotent spaces to cosimplicial binomial rings, thus giving an algebraic model of integral homotopy types. As an application, we construct an integral version of the…
Non-trivial K-theory groups and non-trivial cobordism groups can lead to global symmetries which are conjectured to be absent in quantum gravity. Inspired by open-closed string duality, we propose a correspondence between the two groups,…
This paper aims at the following results: \begin{enumerate} \item The class of all $*$-regular rings forms a variety. \item A subdirectly irreducible $*$-regular ring $R$ is faithfully representable (i.e. isomorphic to a subring of an…
We introduce a notion of representation for a class of generalised quivers known as Coxeter quivers. These representations are built using fusion categories associated to $U_q(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_2)$ at roots of unity and we show that…
Generators and relations are given for the subalgebra of cocommutative elements in the quantized coordinate rings of the classical groups, where the deformation parameter q is transcendental. This is a ring theoretic formulation of the well…
We consider the 3-category $2\mathfrak{C}at$ whose objects are 2-categories, 1-morphisms are lax functors, 2-morphisms are lax transformations and 3-morphisms are modifications. The aim is to show that it carries interesting…
We generalize the notion of ends and coends in category theory to the realm of module categories over finite tensor categories. We call this new concept "module (co)end". This tool allows us to give different proofs to several known results…
Let G be a connected reductive complex affine algebraic group, and let X denote the moduli space of G-valued representations of a rank r free group. We first characterize the singularities in X, extending a theorem of Richardson and proving…
We initiate the systematic study of modular representations of symmetric groups that arise via the braiding in (symmetric) tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We determine what representations appear for certain…
Considering real spacetime as a Lorentzian fiber in a complex manifold, there is a mismatch of the elementary linear representations of their symmetry groups, the real and complex Poincar\'{e} groups. No spinors are allowed as linear…
Important characteristics of the loop approach to quantum gravity are a specific choice of the algebra A of observables and of a representation of A on a measure space over the space of generalized connections. This representation is…
We revisit our earlier work on the representation of quantum systems as Chu spaces, and investigate the use of coalgebra as an alternative framework. On the one hand, coalgebras allow the dynamics of repeated measurement to be captured, and…
The theorem of Greenberg-Kazhdan-Drinfeld describes the formal neighborhood of a closed arc. After giving a complete proof with examples, two possible versions for the relative case of the theorem are discussed. Each one is shown to hold…
We survey several notions of Mackey functors and biset functors found in the literature and prove some old and new theorems comparing them. While little here will surprise the experts, we draw a conceptual and unified picture by making…
We describe a structure on a commutative ring (pre)cyclotomic spectrum $R$ that gives rise to a (pre)cyclotomic structure on topological Hochschild homology ($THH$) relative to its underlying commutative ring spectrum. This lets us…
