Let $G$ be a finite group and construct a graph $\Delta(G)$ by taking $G\setminus\{1\}$ as the vertex set of $\Delta(G)$ and by drawing an edge between two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic. Let $K(G)$ be the set…

We introduce and develop a categorification of the theory of Real representations of finite groups. In particular, we generalize the categorical character theory of Ganter--Kapranov and Bartlett to the Real setting. Given a Real…

Tame abstract elementary classes are a broad nonelementary framework for model theory that encompasses several examples of interest. In recent years, progress toward developing a classification theory for them have been made. Abstract…

Soft set theory can deal uncertainties in nature by parametrization process. In this paper, we explore the objects and morphisms of category of soft sets, Sset(U) in detail. Also, gives characterizations of monomorphisms and epimorphisms in…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite graph and let $\Gamma^{\mathrm{e}}$ be its extension graph. We inductively define a sequence $\{\Gamma_i\}$ of finite induced subgraphs of $\Gamma^{\mathrm{e}}$ through successive applications of an operation called…

We introduce the notion of a "category with path objects", as a slight strengthening of Kenneth Brown's classic notion of a "category of fibrant objects". We develop the basic properties of such a category and its associated homotopy…

Categorification is the process of finding category-theoretic analogs of set-theoretic concepts by replacing sets with categories, functions with functors, and equations between functions by natural isomorphisms between functors, which in…

We generalize the concepts of locally presentable and accessible categories. Our framework includes such categories as small presheaves over large categories and ind-categories. This generalization is intended for applications in the…

We study the central objects of symbolic dynamics, that is, subshifts and block maps, from the perspective of basic category theory, and present several natural categories with subshifts as objects and block maps as morphisms. Our main…

This short introductory category theory textbook is for readers with relatively little mathematical background (e.g. the first half of an undergraduate mathematics degree). At its heart is the concept of a universal property, important…

We show that the essentially algebraic theory of generalized algebraic theories, regarded as a category with finite limits, has a universal exponentiable arrow in the sense that any exponentiable arrow in any category with finite limits is…

An important property of chordal graphs is that these graphs are characterized by existence of perfect elimination orderings on their vertex sets. In this paper, we generalize the notion of perfect elimination orderings to signed graphs,…

In this paper, we study the set of positive integers that characterize the universality of $m$-gonal form.

The main aim of the paper is to study in greater detail absolutely homogeneous structures (that is, objects with the property that each partial isomorphism extends to a global automorphism), with special emphasis on metric spaces and…

Dilatations modify categories by imposing that some morphisms factorize through some others. This is formalized by a universal property. This text is devoted to introduce and study this construction. Examples of dilatations of categories…

We study a generalization of the Svarc genus of a fiber map. For an arbitrary collection E of spaces and a map f:X-->Y, we define a numerical invariant, the E-sectional category of f, in terms of open covers of Y. We obtain several basic…

We characterize the vertices belonging to all minimum dominating sets, to some minimum dominating sets but not all, and to no minimum dominating set. We refine this characterization for some well studied sub-classes of graphs: chordal,…

We present a new, category theoretic point of view on finite Ramsey theory. Our aims are as follows: -- to define the category theoretic notions needed for the development of finite Ramsey Theory, -- to state, in terms of these notions, the…
