Abstract inner automorphisms can be used to promote any category into a 2-category, and we study two-dimensional limits and colimits in the resulting 2-categories. Existing connected colimits and limits in the starting category become…

Interest in weak cubical n-categories arises in various contexts, in particular in topological field theories. In this paper, we describe a concept of double bicategory, namely a strict model of the theory of bicategories in Bicat. We show…

The functor that takes a manifold to its configuration category exhibits a type of full faithfulness in some cases.

In this paper we define a pair of faithful functors that map isomorphic and isotopic finite-dimensional algebras over finite fields to isomorphic graphs. These functors reduce the cost of computation that is usually required to determine…

We develop a homotopy theory for additive categories endowed with endofunctors, analogous to the concept of a model structure. We use it to construct the homotopy theory of a Hovey triple (which consists of two compatible complete cotorsion…

Departing from a suitable categorical concept of topogenous orders defined relative to the bifibration of subobjects, this note introduces and studies topogenous orders on faithful and amnestic functors. Amongst other things, it is shown…

This paper is the first part of a series that investigates the existence of $n$-exact structures on idempotent complete additive categories for positive integers $n$. It is shown that every idempotent complete additive category has a unique…

The category of small 2-categories has two monoidal structures due to John Gray: one biclosed and one closed. We propose a formalisation of the construction of the right internal and internal homs of these monoidal structures.

Some aspects of basic category theory are developed in a finitely complete category $\C$, endowed with two factorization systems which determine the same discrete objects and are linked by a simple reciprocal stability law. Resting on this…

A 2-group is a `categorified' version of a group, in which the underlying set G has been replaced by a category and the multiplication map m: G x G -> G has been replaced by a functor. A number of precise definitions of this notion have…

We show that the action of the mapping class group on bordered Floer homology in the second to extremal spin^c-structure is faithful. This paper is designed partly as an introduction to the subject, and much of it should be readable without…

We study polynomial functors over locally cartesian closed categories. After setting up the basic theory, we show how polynomial functors assemble into a double category, in fact a framed bicategory. We show that the free monad on a…

All exactly integrable systems connected with the semisimple algebras of the second rank with an arbitrary choice of the grading in them are presented in explicit form. General solution of such systems are expressed in terms of the matrix…

We give a new criterion guaranteeing existence of model structures left-induced along a functor admitting both adjoints. This works under the hypothesis that the functor induces idempotent adjunctions at the homotopy category level. As an…

We give a short, mostly elementary and self-contained proof of the classical result that the groups of diffeomorphisms, homeomorphisms, and homotopy equivalences of a surface have the same group of connected components.

We present the notion of "cyclic double multicategory", as a structure in which to organise multivariable adjunctions and mates. The classic example of a 2-variable adjunction is the hom/tensor/cotensor trio of functors; we generalise this…

This paper introduces the construction of a weakly globular double category of fractions for a category and studies its universal properties. It shows that this double category is locally small and considers a couple of concrete examples.

Let $A \leq G$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. An $A$-complement of $G$ is a subgroup $H$ of $G$ such that $G = A H$ and $A \cap H = \{1\}$. The \emph{classifying complements problem} asks for the description and classification of all…
