We endow twisted tensor products with a natural notion of counit and comultiplication, and we provide sufficient and necessary conditions making the twisted tensor product a counital coassociative coalgebra. We then characterize when the…
Entwined modules over cowreaths in a monoidal category are introduced. They can be identified to coalgebras in an appropriate monoidal category. It is investigated when such coalgebras are Frobenius (resp. separable), and when the forgetful…
We show that the universal measuring coalgebras between Frobenius algebras turn the category of Frobenius algebras into a Hopf category (in the sense of Batista-Caenepeel-Vercruysse), and the universal comeasuring algebras between Frobenius…
We present an approach to construct a class of generalized Frobenius manifold structures on the orbit spaces of affine Weyl groups, and prove that their monodromy groups are parabolic subgroups of the associated affine Weyl groups.
We classify Frobenius forms, a special class of homogeneous polynomials in characteristic $p>0$, in up to five variables over an algebraically closed field. We also point out some of the similarities with quadratic forms.
This paper studies Frobenius subalgebra posets in abelian monoidal categories and shows that, under general conditions--satisfied in all semisimple tensor categories over the complex field--they collapse to lattices through a rigidity…
A certain class of Frobenius algebras has been used to characterize orthonormal bases and observables on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The presence of units in these algebras means that they can only be realized finite-dimensionally.…
In this chapter we survey some particular topics in category theory in a somewhat unconventional manner. Our main focus will be on monoidal categories, mostly symmetric ones, for which we propose a physical interpretation. These are…
Given an abelian category, we introduce a categorical concept of (strongly) Gorenstein projective (resp., injective) objects, by defining a new special class of objects. Then we study the transfer of these properties when passing to an…
We show that an orthogonal basis for a finite-dimensional Hilbert space can be equivalently characterised as a commutative dagger-Frobenius monoid in the category FdHilb, which has finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces as objects and continuous…
We construct a separable Frobenius monoidal functor from $\mathcal{Z}\big(\mathsf{Vect}_H^{\omega|_H}\big)$ to $\mathcal{Z}\big(\mathsf{Vect}_G^\omega\big)$ for any subgroup $H$ of $G$ which preserves braiding and ribbon structure. As an…
Flat coordinates for Frobenius manifolds defined on the orbit space of a Coxeter group W are specified through a certain system of generators of W-invariant polynomials. In this note, starting from basic invariants proposed by M.Mehta, we…
The notion of integrability will often extend from systems with scalar-valued fields to systems with algebra-valued fields. In such extensions the properties of, and structures on, the algebra play a central role in ensuring integrability…
We define the notion of whiskered categories and groupoids, showing that whiskered groupoids have a commutator theory. So also do whiskered $R$-categories, thus answering questions of what might be `commutative versions' of these theories.…
In order to study graded Frobenius algebras from a ring theoretical perspective, we introduce graded quasi-Frobenius rings, graded Frobenius rings and a shift-version of the latter ones, and we investigate the structure and representations…
Firm Frobenius algebras are firm algebras and counital coalgebras such that the comultiplication is a bimodule map. They are investigated by categorical methods based on a study of adjunctions and lifted functors. Their categories of…
Submanifolds of Frobenius manifolds are studied. In particular, so-called natural submanifolds are defined and, for semi-simple Frobenius manifolds, classified. These carry the structure of a Frobenius algebra on each tangent space, but…
We consider certain categorical structures that are implicit in subfactor theory. Making the connection between subfactor theory (at finite index) and category theory explicit sheds light on both subjects. Furthermore, it allows various…
We axiomatise the dagger category of complex Hilbert spaces and bounded linear maps, using exclusively purely categorical conditions. Our axioms are chosen with the aim of an easy interpretability: two of them describe the composition of…
A dagger category is a category equipped with a functorial way of reversing morphisms, i.e. a contravariant involutive identity-on-objects endofunctor. Dagger categories with additional structure have been studied under different names e.g.…
