We develop a theory of curved A-infinity-categories around equivalences of their module categories. This allows for a uniform treatment of curved and uncurved A-infinity-categories which generalizes the classical theory of uncurved…
Given a locally presentable enriched category $\mathcal{E}$ together with a small dense full subcategory $\mathcal A$ of arities, we study the relationship between monads on $\mathcal E$ and identity-on-objects functors out of $\mathcal A$,…
We show that the construction due to Leinster and Weber of a generalized Lawvere theory for a familially representable monad on a (co)presheaf category, and the associated ``nerve'' functor from monad algebras to (co)presheaves, have an…
To a Legendrian knot, one can associate an $\mathcal{A}_{\infty}$ category, the augmentation category. An exact Lagrangian cobordism between two Legendrian knots gives a functor of the augmentation categories of the two knots. We study the…
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…
We show that for an extensive $1$-category $\mathcal{E}$ with pullbacks and pullback stable coequalisers in which the forgetful functor $\mathcal{U}: \mathbf{Cat}(\mathcal{E})_1 \to \mathbf{Gph}(\mathcal{E})$ has left adjoint, the…
This is the introductory chapter of my PhD Thesis. This thesis consists of one introductory chapter and four single-authored papers written during my PhD studies at the University of Coimbra under supervision of Maria Manuel Clementino. In…
A simple criterion for a functor to be finitary is presented: we call $F$ finitely bounded if for all objects $X$ every finitely generated subobject of $FX$ factorizes through the $F$-image of a finitely generated subobject of $X$. This is…
Categories are coreflectively embedded in multicategories via the "discrete cocone" construction, the right adjoint being given by the monoid construction. Furthermore, the adjunction lifts to the "cartesian level": preadditive categories…
For any suitable base category $\mathcal{V} $, we find that $\mathcal{V} $-fully faithful lax epimorphisms in $\mathcal{V} $-$\mathsf{Cat} $ are precisely those $\mathcal{V}$-functors $F \colon \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B}$ whose induced…
A morphism of a category which is simultaneously an epimorphism and a monomorphism is called a bimorphism. In \cite{DR2} we gave characterizations of monomorphisms (resp. epimorphisms) in arbitrary pro-categories, pro-(C), where (C) has…
We prove general adjoint functor theorems for weakly (co)complete $n$-categories. This class of $n$-categories includes the homotopy $n$-categories of (co)complete $\infty$-categories, so these $n$-categories do not admit all small…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian category and let $F$ be a subbifunctor of the additive bifunctor $\text{Ext}_{\mathcal{A}}^{1}(-,-)\colon \mathcal{A}^{\text{op}}\times \mathcal{A}\to \mathsf{Ab}$. Buan proved in [4] that $F$ is closed if,…
Two adjoint functors can be seen as generalisations of the two functions within a Galois connection. If instead the adjoints are not generalised from functions, but from relations, then analogously the object of study becomes a more general…
We apply the notion of relative adjoint functor to generalise closed monoidal categories. We define representations in such categories and give their relation with left actions of monoids. The translation of these representations under lax…
A characteristic property of cohomology with compact support is the long exact sequence that connects the compactly supported cohomology groups of a space, an open subspace and its complement. Given an arbitrary cohomology theory of…
We define the notion of exact completion with respect to an existential elementary doctrine. We observe that the forgetful functor from the 2-category exact categories to existential elementary doctrines has a left biadjoint that can be…
A Datalog program can be viewed as a syntactic specification of a functor from database instances over some schema to database instances over another schema. The same holds more generally for $\exists$Datalog. We establish large classes of…
For an $(\infty,n)$-category $\mathscr E$ we define an $(\infty,1)$ category $\mathrm{TwAr}(\mathscr E)$ and provide an isomorphism between the stabilization of the overcategory of $\mathscr E$ in $\mathrm{Cat}_{(\infty,n)}$ and the…
We develop the theory of strong and commutative monads in the 2-dimensional setting of bicategories. This provides a framework for the analysis of effects in many recent models which form bicategories and not categories, such as those based…
