We prove that the 2-category of spaces admits a strong generator made up of the tori. In other words, Whitehead's theorem holds for the 2-category of (not necessarily connected, not pointed) spaces.

Categories can be identified -- up to isomorphism -- with polynomial comonads on Set. The left Kan extension of a functor along itself is always a comonad -- called the density comonad -- so it defines a category when its carrier is…

In order to diagnose the cause of some defects in the category of canonical hypergroups, we investigate several categories of hyperstructures that generalize hypergroups. By allowing hyperoperations with possibly empty products, one obtains…

In this paper we prove generic results concerning Hardy spaces in one or several complex variables. More precisely, we show that the generic function in certain Hardy type spaces is totally unbounded and hence non-extentable, despite the…

We introduce a generalization of monads, called relative monads, allowing for underlying functors between different categories. Examples include finite-dimensional vector spaces, untyped and typed lambda-calculus syntax and indexed…

We consider polynomials expressing the cohomology classes of subvarieties of products of projective spaces, and limits of positive real multiples of such polynomials. We study the relation between these covolume polynomials and Lorentzian…

We give a direct proof that the category of strict $\omega$-categories is monadic over the category of polygraphs.

Extriangulated categories give a simultaneous generalization of triangulated categories and exact categories. In this paper, we study silting subcategories of an extriangulated category. First, we show that a silting subcategory induces a…

We discuss the question when a finite-dimensional diffeological vector space is, or turns out not to be, the coproduct of its subspaces in the category of diffeological vector spaces, after reviewing the same question in some other…

Superconformal indices of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories factorize into holomorphic blocks. We interpret this as a modular property resulting from the combined action of an $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ and $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes…

For a weighted projective line X, a wide subcategory of the category coh-X of coherent sheaves over X is called c-invariant if it is closed under the grading shift of the canonical element c. We proved that a c-invariant wide subcategory of…

In this article we describe properties of the 2-functor from the 2-category of comonads to the 2-category of functors that sends a comonad to its forgetful functor. This allows us to describe contexts where algebras over a monad are…

We show that factorization systems, both strict and orthogonal, can be equivalently described as double categories satisfying certain properties. This provides conceptual reasons for why the category of sets and partial maps or the category…

Given a (not necessarily discrete) proper metric space $M$ with bounded geometry, we define a groupoid $G(M)$. We show that the coarse Baum--Connes conjecture with coefficients, which states that the assembly map with coefficients for G(M)…

We introduce categories of weak factorization algebras and factorization spaces, and prove that they are equivalent to the categories of ordinary factorization algebras and spaces, respectively. This allows us to define the pullback of a…

A new and extensive formalism is developed for monads and galaxies in non-standard enlargements. It is shown that monads and galaxies can be manipulated using order-preserving and order-reversing set-to-set maps, and that set properties…

This paper introduces a skew variant of the notion of enriched category, suitable for enrichment over a skew-monoidal category, the main novelty of which is that the elements of the enriched hom-objects need not be in bijection with the…

G. Conner and K. Eda (Topology and its Applications, 146, (2005), 317-328.) introduced a new construction of spaces from groups. They remarked that the construction is not categorical. In this paper, based on the work of Conner and Eda, we…

If $X$ is a 2-Segal set, then the edgewise subdivision of $X$ admits a factorization system coming from upper and lower d\'ecalage. Using the correspondence between 2-Segal sets and unary operadic categories satisfying the blow-up axiom,…

We prove that the derived category of a branched double cover is equivalent to a category of matrix factorizations for a fiberwise quadratic potential on the associated line bundle. This requires the linear fiber coordinate to have odd…
