We argue that a general system of scalar fields and gauge fields manifesting vacuum degeneracy induces a principal groupoid bundle over spacetime and that the pattern of spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Higgs mechanism are encoded by…

Given an additive category $\mathcal{C}$ and an integer $n\geqslant 2$. We form a new additive category $\mathcal{C}[\epsilon]^n$ consisting of objects $X$ in $\mathcal{C}$ equipped with an endomorphism $\epsilon_X$ satisfying…

We examine the periodic table of weak n-categories for the low-dimensional cases. It is widely understood that degenerate categories give rise to monoids, doubly degenerate bicategories to commutative monoids, and degenerate bicategories to…

Let $R$ be any ring with identity. We show that the homotopy category of all acyclic chain complexes of pure-projective $R$-modules is a compactly generated triangulated category. We do this by constructing abelian model structures that put…

Let $X$ be a compact orientable non-Haken 3-manifold modeled on the Thurston geometry $\text{Nil}$. We show that the diffeomorphism group $\text{Diff}(X)$ deformation retracts to the isometry group $\text{Isom}(X)$. Combining this with…

We develop foundations for abstract homotopy theory based on Grothendieck's idea of a "derivator". The theory is model-independent, and does not depend on model categories, nor on simplicial sets. It is designed to accomodate all the usual…

We study non-invertible topological symmetry operators in massive quantum field theories in (1+1) dimensions. In phases where this symmetry is spontaneously broken we show that the particle spectrum often has degeneracies dictated by the…

For 3-dimensional hyperbolic cone structures with cone angles $\theta$, local rigidity is known for $0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi$, but global rigidity is known only for $0 \leq \theta \leq \pi$. The proof of the global rigidity by Kojima is…

We study the uniqueness of enhancements of tensor-triangulated categories. To do so, we provide conditions under which these enhancements interact well with categorical decompositions. As an application we obtain new results about the…

The main goal of this paper is to prove the following: for a triangulated category $ \underline{C}$ and $E\subset \operatorname{Obj} \underline{C}$ there exists a cohomological functor $F$ (with values in some abelian category) such that…

We prove that one can realize certain triangulated subcategories of the singularity category of a complete intersection as homotopy categories of matrix factorizations. Moreover, we prove that for any commutative ring and non-zerodivisor,…

We introduce a precise notion, in terms of few Schlessinger's type conditions, of extended deformation functors which is compatible with most of recent ideas in the Derived Deformation Theory (DDT) program and with geometric examples. With…

Assume that $\D$ is a Krull-Schmidt, Hom-finite triangulated category with a Serre functor and a cluster-tilting object $T$. We introduce the notion of relative cluster tilting objects, and $T[1]$-cluster tilting objects in $\D$, which are…

Since curved dg algebras, and modules over them, have differentials whose square is not zero, these objects have no cohomology, and there is no classical derived category. For different purposes, different notions of "derived" categories…

In this paper we study categories of tilting modules. Our starting point is the tilting modules for a reductive algebraic group G in positive characteristic. Here we extend the main result in [8] by proving that these tilting modules form a…

In this work we consider an unfolding of a normal form of the Lorenz system near a triple-zero singularity. We are interested in the analysis of double-zero bifurcations emerging from that singularity. Their local study provide partial…

Tilting objects play a key role in the study of triangulated categories. A famous result due to Iyama and Takahashi asserts that the stable categories of graded maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over quotient singularities have tilting…

If D is a category and k is a commutative ring, the functors from D to k-Mod can be thought of as representations of D. By definition, D is dimension zero over k if its finitely generated representations have finite length. We characterize…

We develop a framework for derived deformation theory, valid in all characteristics. This gives a model category reconciling local and global approaches to derived moduli theory. In characteristic 0, we use this to show that the homotopy…

This paper concerns the generation time that measures the number of cones necessary to obtain an object in a triangulated category from another object. This invariant is called level. We establish level inequalities for enhanced…
