This paper introduces the notion of weakly globular double categories, a particular class of strict double categories, as a way to model weak 2-categories; it explores its use in defining a double category of fractions, and shows that the…
We present an intrinsic and concrete development of the subdivision of small categories, give some simple examples and derive its fundamental properties. As an application, we deduce an alternative way to compare the homotopy categories of…
A number of categories is presented that are algebraically complete and cocomplete, i.e., every endofunctor has an initial algebra and a terminal coalgebra. For all finitary (and, more generally, all precontinuous) set functors the initial…

The aim of section 1 is to define the homotopic functor to category of Abelian groups, connected with the special classes of bundles with fiber matrix algebra or projective space. The aim of section 2 is to define some generalization of the…
We construct various multiple categories, based on generalised Ehresmann quintets. The main construction is a multiple category whose objects are all the `lax' multiple categories; the transversal arrows are their strict multiple functors…
A brief review of the construction and classifiaction of the bicovariant differential calculi on quantum groups is given.
We study dualities between classes of relational topological structures, given by Hom-functors. We show that there exists a 2-element structure with infinitely many relations, which reconstructs all other structures generated by a 2-element…
Let C and D be quasi-categories (a.k.a. infinity-categories). Suppose also that one has an assignment sending commutative diagrams of C to commutative diagrams of D which respects face maps, but not necessarily degeneracy maps. (This is…
We introduce an operad of formal fractions, abstracted from the Mould operads and containing both the Dendriform and the Tridendriform operads. We consider the smallest set-operad contained in this operad and containing four specific…
We develop a bicategorical setup in which one can speak about adjoint 1-morphisms even in the absence of genuine identity 1-morphisms. We also investigate which part of 2-representation theory of 2-categories extends to this new setup.
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…
Categories of partial functions have become increasingly important principally because of their applications in theoretical computer science. In this note we prove that the category of partial bijections between sets as an…
An alternative foundation for 2-categories is explored by studying graph-theoretically a partial operation on 2-cells named juncture, which can replace vertical and horizontal composition. Juncture is a generalized vertical composition of…
We build a concrete and natural model for the strict 2-category of orbifolds. In particular we prove that if one localizes the 2-category of proper etale Lie groupoids at a class of 1-arrows that we call "covers", then the strict 2-category…
We prove a structure result on proper extensions of two-sided restriction semigroups in terms of partial actions, generalizing respective results for monoids and for inverse semigroups and upgrading the latter. We introduce and study…
We determine a family of functors from a poset to abelian groups such that the higher direct limits vanish on them. This is done by first characterizing the projective functors. Then a spectral sequence arising from the grading of the poset…
Like categories, small 2-categories have well-understood classifying spaces. In this paper, we deal with homotopy types represented by 2-diagrams of 2-categories. Our results extend to homotopy colimits of 2-functors lower categorical…
In this paper, we study wall elements of rank 2 cluster scattering diagrams based on dilogarithm elements. We derive two major results. First, we give a method to calculate wall elements in lower degrees. By this method, we may see the…
Starting from a so-called flat exact semisimple bihamiltonian structures of hydrodynamic type, we arrive at a Frobenius manifold structure and a tau structure for the associated principal hierarchy. We then classify the deformations of the…
