We investigate a set of functional equations defining a projection in the noncommutative 2-torus algebra $A_{\theta}$. The exact solutions of these provide various generalisations of the Powers-Rieffel projection. By identifying the…

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…

We construct an explicit diagonal \Delta_P on the permutahedra P. Related diagonals on the multiplihedra J and the associahedra K are induced by Tonks' projection P --> K and its factorization through J. We introduce the notion of a…

We introduce rigid algebras, a generalization of rigid categories to arbitrary symmetric monoidal $(\infty,2)$-categories. We develop their general theory, showing in particular that the a priori $(\infty,2)$-category of rigid algebras is…

These are expanded lecture notes from lectures given at the Workshop on higher structures at MATRIX Melbourne. These notes give an introduction to Feynman categories and their applications. Feynman categories give a universal categorical…

We define extension $\infty$-categories for exact $\infty$-categories in terms of bifibrations. Extension $\infty$-categories are invariant when passing to the stable hull, and consequently we show that they form an $\Omega$-spectrum,…

We study (not necessarily connected) Z-graded A-infinity-algebras and their A-infinity-modules. Using the cobar and the bar construction and Quillen's homotopical algebra, we describe the localisation of the category of A-infinity-algebras…

We study a special type of $E_\infty$-operads that govern strictly unital $E_\infty$-coalgebras (and algebras) over the ring of integers. Morphisms of coalgebras over such an operad are defined by using universal $E_\infty$-bimodules. Thus…

We generalize the notion of an anomaly for a symmetry to a noninvertible symmetry enacted by surface operators using the framework of condensation in 2-categories. Given a multifusion 2-category, potentially with some additional levels of…

C*-algebras form a 2-category with \Star{}homomorphisms or correspondences as morphisms and unitary intertwiners as 2-morphisms. We use this structure to define weak actions of 2-categories, weakly equivariant maps between weak actions, and…

We generalise the usual notion of fibred category; first to fibred 2-categories and then to fibred bicategories. Fibred 2-categories correspond to 2-functors from a 2-category into 2-Cat. Fibred bicategories correspond to trihomomorphisms…

We develop the Morita theory of fusion 2-categories. In order to do so, we begin by proving that the relative tensor product of modules over a separable algebra in a fusion 2-category exists. We use this result to construct the Morita…

In this paper we redevelop the foundations of the category theory of quasi-categories (also called infinity-categories) using 2-category theory. We show that Joyal's strict 2-category of quasi-categories admits certain weak 2-limits, among…

The paper is devoted to explaining the operadic meaning of freehedra, a family of polytopes originally defined to study free loop spaces. We introduce the notion of operadic pairs and algebras over them. Cellular chains on Stasheff…

We decribe the correspondence between normalised $\omega$-operads and certain lax monoidal structures on the category of globular sets. As with ordinary monoidal categories, one has a notion of category enriched in a lax monoidal category.…

We introduce the basic elements of the theory of parametrized $\infty$-categories and functors between them. These notions are defined as suitable fibrations of $\infty$-categories and functors between them. We give as many examples as we…
