We are concerned with orderable groups and particularly those with orderings invariant not only under multiplication, but also under a given automorphism or family of automorphisms. Several applications to topology are given: we prove that…

We incorporate a category of certain modules for an affine Lie algebra, of a certain fixed non-positive-integral level, considered by Kazhdan and Lusztig, into the representation theory of vertex operator algebras, by using the logarithmic…

This is a translation from Russian of the article by A.A.Vinogradov: On the free product of ordered groups, Mat. Sb. (N.S.), 1949, Volume 25(67), Number 1, 163-168. The main result is that the free product of two ordered groups is…

Given a vector-space $~V~$ which is the tensor product of vector-spaces $A$ and $B$, we reconstruct $A$ and $B$ from the family of simple tensors $a{\otimes}b$ within $V$. In an application to quantum mechanics, one would be reconstructing…

The stable category of modules over the algebra of a finite group with coefficients in a field is a compactly generated tensor triangulated category, that has been studied extensively in representation theory. In this paper, we provide a…

We give a uniform construction that, on input of a recursive presentation $P$ of a group, outputs a recursive presentation of a torsion-free group, isomorphic to $P$ whenever $P$ is itself torsion-free. We use this to re-obtain a known…

We investigate when an ordered abelian group $G$ is stably embedded in a given elementary extension $H$. We focus on a large class of ordered groups which includes maximal ordered groups with interpretable archimedean valuation. We give a…

We review the construction of braided tensor categories and modular tensor categories from representations of vertex operator algebras, which correspond to chiral algebras in physics. The extensive and general theory underlying this…

We show that every admissible irreducible representation of a product of two locally compact groups is a tensor product of admissible irreducible representations of the factors.

We prove that the folk model category structure on the category of strict $\omega$-categories, introduced by Lafont, M\'etayer and Worytkiewicz, is monoidal, first, for the Gray tensor product and, second, for the join of…

A notion of stratification is introduced for any compactly generated triangulated category T endowed with an action of a graded commutative noetherian ring R. The utility of this notion is demonstrated by establishing diverse consequences…

A classification of the ways in which an element of a free group can be expressed as a product of commutators or as a product of squares is given. This is then applied to some particular classes of elements. Finally, a question about…

This is the third part in a series of papers in which we introduce and develop a natural, general tensor category theory for suitable module categories for a vertex (operator) algebra. In this paper (Part III), we introduce and study…

Let p be a prime and G be a torsion-free abelian group. A homomorphism from G to the p-adic integers is called a p-adic functional on G. If G has finite rank, then G can be represented as an inductive limit of an inductive sequence of free…

We show that every action operad gives rise to a notion of monoidal category via the categorical version of the Borel construction, embedding action operads into the category of 2-monads on $\mathbf{Cat}$. We characterize those 2-monads in…

We construct free monoids in a monoidal category with finite limits and countable colimits, in which tensoring on either side preserves reflexive coequalizers and colimits of countable chains.

We show that under mild conditions on the monoidal base category $\mathcal V$, the category ${\sf VHopf}$ of Hopf $\mathcal V$-categories is locally presentable and deduce the existence of free and cofree Hopf categories. We also provide an…

For all subgroups $H$ of a cyclic $p$-group $G$ we define norm functors that build a $G$-Mackey functor from an $H$-Mackey functor. We give an explicit construction of these functors in terms of generators and relations based solely on the…

We present here definitions and constructions basic for the theory of monoidal and tensor categories. We provide references to the original sources, whenever possible. Group-theoretical categories are used as examples

We prove a theorem about the derivation algebra of the tensor product of two algebras. As an application, we determine the derivation algebra of the fixed point algebra of the tensor product of two algebras, with respect to the tensor…
