We provide concrete models for generalized morphisms and Morita equivalences of topological 2-groupoids by introducing the notions of crossings and crossed extensions of groupoid crossed modules. A systematic study of these objects is…

We present a family of model structures on the category of multicomplexes. There is a cofibrantly generated model structure in which the weak equivalences are the morphisms inducing an isomorphism at a fixed stage of an associated spectral…

This paper continues the development of a simplicial theory of weak omega-categories, by studying categories which are enriched in weak complicial sets. These complicial Gray-categories generalise both the Kan complex enriched categories of…

We introduce the notion of homotopically discrete n-fold category as an n-fold generalization of a groupoid with no non-trivial loops. We give two equivalent descriptions of this structure: in terms of a Segal-type model and in terms of…

We describe a new method for constructing a weight structure $w$ on a triangulated category $C$. For a given $C$ and $w$ it allow us to give a fairly comprehensive (and new) description of those triangulated categories consisting of…

We construct a category that classifies compact Hausdorff spaces by their shape and finite topological spaces by their weak homotopy type.

All rational semisimple braided tensor categories are representation categories of weak quasi Hopf algebras. To proof this result we construct for any given category of this kind a weak quasi tensor functor to the category of finite…

We introduce a new kind of Riemannian manifold that includes weakly-, pseudo- and pseudo projective- Ricci symmetric manifolds. The manifold is defined through a generalization of the so called Z tensor; it is named "weakly Z symmetric" and…

We introduce Manifold tensor categories, which make precise the notion of a tensor category with a manifold of simple objects. A basic example is the category of vector spaces graded by a Lie group. Unlike classic tensor category theory,…

Based on the novel notion of `weakly counital fusion morphism', regular weak multiplier bimonoids in braided monoidal categories are introduced. They generalize weak multiplier bialgebras over fields and multiplier bimonoids in braided…

Thick simplices are the nerves of the contractible groupoids obtained by inverting the arrows in the categories [n]. Using explicit expansions of simplicial subsets of the thick simplices, we present a new approach to results of Rezk and of…

The purposes of this paper are to classify lower triangular forms and to determine under what conditions a nonlinear system is equivalent to a specific type of lower triangular forms. According to the least multi-indices and the greatest…

We give a potential alternative definition of a weak infinite dimensional category, in an unbiased fashion, using one one dimensional quiver with composition and extra structure.

In dealing with asymptotic approximation of possibly divergent nets of probability distributions, we are led to study uniform structures on the set of distributions. This paper identifies a class of such uniform structures that may be…

We establish analogs of sharp weighted weak-type bounds for $m$-sublinear operators satisfying sparse form domination, including multilinear Calder\'on-Zygmund singular integrals. Our results, which hold for general $\vec{p} \in…

Suzuki (2004) [7] classified thin weakly distance-regular digraphs and pro- posed the project to classify weakly distance-regular digraphs of valency 3. The case of girth 2 was classified by the third author (2004) [9] under the assumption…

We present some results on (co)limits of diagrams in $\infty$-categories, as well as those in $(n, 1)$-categories. In particular, we deduce a way to reshape colimit diagrams into simplicial ones, and a characterisations of $n$-cofinality…

We prove the first equivalence between a weak non-algebraic model and a semi-strict algebraic model of $(\infty, n)$-categories. This takes the form of a natural semi-strictification, whereby a weak $(\infty, n)$-category is embedded into a…

This paper develops the foundations of a simplicial theory of weak omega-categories, which builds upon the insights originally expounded by Ross Street in his 1987 paper on oriented simplices. The resulting theory of weak complicial sets…

We show that the recently proposed weak gravity conjecture\cite{AMNV0601} can be extended to a class of scalar field theories. Taking gravity into account, we find an upper bound on the gravity interaction strength, expressed in terms of…
