The main purpose of this article is to develop an explicit derived deformation theory of algebraic structures at a high level of generality, encompassing in a common framework various kinds of algebras (associative, commutative, Poisson...)…

We investigate the behavior of extension monads, introduced in the 1990s by the second author, in terms of structure results for infinitely many finitary operations and common constructions in varieties or categories of algebras.…

Interest in weak cubical n-categories arises in various contexts, in particular in topological field theories. In this paper, we describe a concept of double bicategory, namely a strict model of the theory of bicategories in Bicat. We show…

We introduce abelian framed bicategories, which are particular framed bicategories that are locally abelian, and show that they are suitable for developing homology and cohomology theories for directed structures. This means in particular…

We study Kan extensions in three weakenings of the Eilenberg-Moore double category associated to a double monad, that was introduced by Grandis and Par\'e. To be precise, given a normal oplax double monad $T$ on a double category $\mathcal…

We introduce pseudoalgebras for relative pseudomonads and develop their theory. For each relative pseudomonad $T$, we construct a free--forgetful relative pseudoadjunction that exhibits the bicategory of $T$-pseudoalgebras as terminal among…

We develop a general obstruction theory to the formality of algebraic structures over any commutative ground ring. It relies on the construction of Kaledin obstruction classes that faithfully detect the formality of differential graded…

Grammatical forms are said to evolve via two main mechanisms. These are, respectively, the `descent' mechanism, where current forms can be seen to have descended (albeit with occasional modifications) from their roots in ancient languages,…

We prove that a (lax) bilimit of a 2-functor is characterized by the existence of a limiting contraction in the 2-category of (lax) cones over the diagram. We also investigate the notion of bifinal object and prove that a (lax) bilimit is a…

This paper presents a survey on formal moduli problems. It starts with an introduction to pointed formal moduli problems and a sketch of proof of a Theorem (independently proven by Lurie and Pridham) which gives a precise mathematical…

We develop a formalism for studying descent and codescent in the context of Iwasawa theory. The main result essentially states that to control descent or codescent amounts to the same. Arithmetic applications are given.

We provide, among other things: (i) a Bousfield--Kan formula for colimits in $\infty$-categories (generalizing the 1-categorical formula for a colimit as a coequalizer of maps between coproducts); (ii) $\infty$-categorical generalizations…

We give an explicit combinatorial description of the deformation theory of the Abelian category of (quasi)coherent sheaves on any separated Noetherian scheme $X$ via the deformation theory of path algebras of quivers with relations, by…

We categorify cocompleteness results of monad theory, in the context of pseudomonads. We first prove a general result establishing that, in any 2-category, weighted bicolimits can be constructed from oplax bicolimits and bicoequalizers of…

Monadic second order logic is the expansion of first order logic by quantifiers ranging over unary relations. We study the shared monadic second order theory of finite linear orders, i.e. the pseudofinite monadic second order theory of…

An algebraic theory of dualities is developed based on the notion of bond algebras. It deals with classical and quantum dualities in a unified fashion explaining the precise connection between quantum dualities and the low temperature…

We prove a general decomposition theorem for the modal $\mu$-calculus $L_\mu$ in the spirit of Feferman and Vaught's theorem for disjoint unions. In particular, we show that if a structure (i.e., transition system) is composed of two…

This work is devoted to the algebraic and arithmetic properties of Rankin-Cohen brackets allowing to define and study them in several natural situations of number theory. It focuses on the property of these brackets to be formal…

In this paper we study two types of descent in the category of Berkovich analytic spaces: flat descent and descent with respect to an extension of the ground field. Quite surprisingly, the deepest results in this direction seem to be of the…
