We define the notion of a $\lambda$-definable category, a generalisation of the notion of definable category from the model theory of modules. Let ${\cal C}$ be a $\lambda$-accessible additive category. We characterise the additive functors…

We show that the unbounded derived category of a Grothendieck category with enough projective objects is the base category of a derivator whose category of diagrams is the full 2-category of small categories. With this structure, we give a…

Structures where we have both a contravariant (pullback) and a covariant (pushforward) functoriality that satisfy base change can be encoded by functors out of ($\infty$-)categories of spans (or correspondences). In this paper we study the…

Consider a normal function $f$ on the ordinals (i. e. a function $f$ that is strictly increasing and continuous at limit stages). By enumerating the fixed points of $f$ we obtain a faster normal function $f'$, called the derivative of $f$.…

We construct for every $\infty$-operad $\mathcal{O}^\otimes$ with certain finite limits new $\infty$-operads of spectrum objects and of commutative group objects in $\mathcal{O}$. We show that these are the universal stable resp. additive…

This article shows a very elementary and straightforward proof of the Implicit Function Theorem for differentiable maps $F(x,y)$ defined on a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. There are no hypothesis on the continuity of the partial…

We use Lurie's symmetric monoidal envelope functor to give two new descriptions of $\infty$-operads: as certain symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories whose underlying symmetric monoidal $\infty$-groupoids are free, and as certain symmetric…

This is a (slightly edited) version of the PhD dissertation of the author, submitted to Brown University in July 2005. We construct a homotopy calculus of functors in the sense of Goodwillie for the categories of rational homotopy theory.…

A new directional derivative and a new subdifferential for set-valued convex functions are constructed, and a set-valued version of the so-called 'max-formula' is proven. The new concepts are used to characterize solutions of convex…

We examine the fractional derivative of composite functions and present a generalization of the product and chain rules for the Caputo fractional derivative. These results are especially important for physical and biological systems that…

We extend in this paper the definition of Caputo derivatives of order in $(0,1)$ to a certain class of locally integrable functions using a convolution group. Our strategy is to define a fractional calculus for a certain class of…

In the theory of operads we consider functors of generalized symmetric powers defined by sums of coinvariant modules under actions of symmetric groups. One observes classically that the construction of symmetric functors provides an…

We show that bounded type implies finite type for a constructible subcategory of the module category of a finitely generated algebra over a field, which is a variant of the first Brauer-Thrall conjecture. A full subcategory is constructible…

Fixpoint operators are tools to reason on recursive programs and data types obtained by induction (e.g. lists, trees) or coinduction (e.g. streams). They were given a categorical treatment with the notion of categories with fixpoints. A…

We prove a closed formula for the derivative, of any order, of a implicit function, in terms of some binomial building blocks, and explain the combinatorics behind the coefficients appearing in the formula.

Let T be Goedel's system of primitive recursive functionals of finite type in the lambda formulation. We define by constructive means using recursion on nested multisets a multivalued function I from the set of terms of T into the set of…

We survey the theory and applications of Goodwillie's calculus of homotopy functors and related topics.

We discuss some surprising phenomena from basic calculus related to oscillating functions and to the theorem on the differentiability of inverse functions. Among other things, we see that a continuously differentiable function with a strict…

We study the category of polynomial functors from finitely generated free groups to a stable infinity-category D. We show that this category is equivalent to the category of excisive functors from pointed animas to D, and also to truncated…

This lecture series is based on joint work in progress with Shaul Barkan, as well as work in progress of the author. The five sections of these notes correspond to the five lectures, but more details have been added. $2$-dimensional…
