This paper considers the possible underlying multicategories for a symmetric monoidal category, and shows that, up to canonical and coherent isomorphism, there really is only one. As a result, there is a well-defined forgetful functor from…

We study $\omega$-weak equivalences between weak $\omega$-categories in the sense of Batanin-Leinster. Our $\omega$-weak equivalences are strict $\omega$-functors satisfying essential surjectivity in every dimension, and when restricted to…

A notion of evolutionary $\Gamma$-convergence of weak type is introduced for sequences of operators acting on time-dependent functions. This extends the classical definition of $\Gamma$-convergence of functionals due to De Giorgi. The…

In this paper, we introduce a cofibrant simplicial category that we call the free homotopy coherent adjunction and characterize its n-arrows using a graphical calculus that we develop here. The hom-spaces are appropriately fibrant, indeed…

In this short note, we classify linear categorified open topological field theories in dimension two by pivotal Grothendieck-Verdier categories, a type of monoidal category equipped with a weak, not necessarily rigid duality. In combination…

Under appropriate conditions, if one picks a commutative algebra A with action of group G in braided monoidal category C, the category of A modules in C obtains a natural crossed G-braided structure. In the case of general commutative…

It has long been known that every weak monoidal category A is equivalent via monoidal functors and monoidal natural transformations to a strict monoidal category st(A). We generalise the definition of weak monoidal category to give a…

In this work we define formal grammars in terms of free monoidal categories, along with a functor from the category of formal grammars to the category of automata. Generalising from the Booleans to arbitrary semirings, we extend our…

This article is devoted to the investigation of the deformation (twisting) of monoidal structures, such as the associativity constraint of the monoidal category and the monoidal structure of monoidal functor. The sets of twistings have a…

Toric differential inclusions occur as key dynamical systems in the context of the Global Attractor Conjecture. We introduce the notions of minimal invariant regions and minimal globally attracting regions for toric differential inclusions.…

Introduced in the 1990s in the context of the algebraic approach to graph rewriting, gs-monoidal categories are symmetric monoidal categories where each object is equipped with the structure of a commutative comonoid. They arise for example…

Involutive category theory provides a flexible framework to describe involutive structures on algebraic objects, such as anti-linear involutions on complex vector spaces. Motivated by the prominent role of involutions in quantum (field)…

Every fusion category C that is k-linear over a suitable field k, is the category of finite-dimensional comodules of a Weak Hopf Algebra H. This Weak Hopf Algebra is finite-dimensional, cosemisimple and has commutative bases. It arises as…

Higher category theory is an exceedingly active area of research, whose rapid growth has been driven by its penetration into a diverse range of scientific fields. Its influence extends through key mathematical disciplines, notably homotopy…

We classify all modular categories of dimension $4m$, where $m$ is an odd square-free integer, and all ranks $6$ and $7$ weakly integral modular categories. This completes the classification of weakly integral modular categories through…

Given a monoidal category $\mathscr{C}$ with an object $J$, we construct a monoidal category $\mathscr{C}[J^{\vee}]$ by freely adjoining a right dual $J^{\vee}$ to $J$. We show that the canonical strong monoidal functor $\Omega :…

Algebraic injectivity was introduced to capture homotopical structures like algebraic Kan complexes. But at a much simpler level, it allows one to describe sets with operations subject to no equations. If one wishes to add equations (or…

Whereas formal category theory is classically considered within a $2$-category, in this paper a double-dimensional approach is taken. More precisely we develop such theory within the setting of augmented virtual double categories, a notion…

We define the category of tidy symmetric multicategories. We construct for each tidy symmetric multicategory Q a cartesian monad (E_Q,T_Q) and extend this assignation to a functor. We exhibit a relationship between the slice construction on…

Weakly globular double categories are a model of weak $2$-categories based on the notion of weak globularity, and they are known to be suitably equivalent to Tamsamani $2$-categories. Fair $2$-categories, introduced by J. Kock, model weak…
