We define the affinization of an arbitrary monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$, corresponding to the category of $\mathcal{C}$-diagrams on the cylinder. We also give an alternative characterization in terms of adjoining dot generators to…

We study discrete opfibration classifiers in enhanced 2-categories and show how, under suitable hypotheses, such classifiers can be endowed with the structure of a (lax or pseudo-)T-algebra and classify strict discrete opfibrations in…

We want to replace categories, functors and natural transformations by categories, open functors and open natural transformations. In analogy with open dynamical systems, the adjective open is added here to mean that some external…

We define natural A_infinity-transformations and construct A_infinity-category of A_infinity-functors. The notion of non-strict units in an A_infinity-category is introduced. The 2-category of (unital) A_infinity-categories, (unital)…

Let $\mathcal C$ be the category of finite graphs. Lov\`{a}sz shows that the semi-ring of isomorphism classes of $\mathcal C$ (with coproduct as sum, and product as multiplication) is embedded into the direct product of the semi-ring of…

It is well-known that the tensor product of two bialgebras constitutes the binary product in the category of cocommutative bialgebras and morphisms of bialgebras between them. In this paper, we extend this result to triangular bialgebras…

We use the theory of regular objects in tensor categories to clarify the passage between braided multiplicative unitaries and multiplicative unitaries with projection. The braided multiplicative unitary and its semidirect product…

We deal with the symmetries of a (2-term) graded vector space or bundle. Our first theorem shows that they define a (strict) Lie 2-groupoid in a natural way. Our second theorem explores the construction of nerves for Lie 2-categories,…

We study functors F from C_f to D where C and D are simplicial model categories and C_f is the full subcategory of C consisting of objects that factor a fixed morphism f from A to B. We define the analogs of Eilenberg and Mac Lane's cross…

Working over an arbitrary field, we define compact semisimple 2-categories, and show that every compact semisimple 2-category is equivalent to the 2-category of separable module 1-categories over a finite semisimple tensor 1-category. Then,…

We study the left adjoint $\mathbb{D}$ to the forgetful functor from the $\infty$-category of symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories with duals and finite colimits to the $\infty$-category of symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories with…

We develop the theory of the intertwining distributional versions of the LS-category and the sequential topological complexities of a space $X$, denoted by $\mathsf{icat}(X)$ and $\mathsf{iTC}_m(X)$, respectively. We prove that they satisfy…

A complex $C^\bullet(C,D)(F,G)(\eta, \theta)$, generalising the Davydov-Yetter complex of a monoidal category, is constructed. Here $C,D$ are $\Bbbk$-linear (dg) monoidal categories, $F,G\colon C\to D$ are $\Bbbk$-linear (dg) strict…

We apply the notion of a full convex subcategory to a wide range of algebras including tilted, quasi-tilted, shod, weakly shod, left and right glued, laura, simply connected, strongly simply connected, left supported, and cluster-tilted. In…

Motivated by the Grothendieck construction, we study the functorialities of the comma construction for strict $\omega$-categories. To state the most general functorialities, we use the language of Gray $\omega$-categories, that is,…

We investigate the relationship between the algebra of tensor categories and the topology of framed 3-manifolds. On the one hand, tensor categories with certain algebraic properties determine topological invariants. We prove that fusion…
