There appeared not long ago a Reduction Formula for derived Hochschild cohomology, that has been useful e.g., in the study of Gorenstein maps and of rigidity w.r.t. semidualizing complexes. The formula involves the relative dualizing…

The functor that takes a ring to its category of modules has an adjoint if one remembers the forgetful functor to abelian groups: the endomorphism ring of linear natural transformations. This uses the self-enrichment of the category of…

Even a functor without an adjoint induces a monad, namely, its codensity monad; this is subject only to the existence of certain limits. We clarify the sense in which codensity monads act as substitutes for monads induced by adjunctions. We…

The contributions of this paper are twofold. Within the framework of Grothendieck's fibrational category theory, we present a web of fundamental 2-adjunctions surrounding the formation of the category of all small diagrams in a given…

We prove a biadjoint triangle theorem and its strict version, which are $2$-dimensional analogues of the adjoint triangle theorem of Dubuc. Similarly to the $1$-dimensional case, we demonstrate how we can apply our results to get the…

We exhibit an adjunction between a category of abstract algebras of partial functions that we call difference-restriction algebras and a category of Hausdorff \'etale spaces. Difference-restriction algebras are those algebras isomorphic to…

Lucatelli Nunes obtained a 2-categorical version of the adjoint triangle theorem of Dubuc using the descent object of a specific diagram. In some cases, such a diagram can be filled with an extra cell. We show then how to obtain a biadjoint…

It it shown that geometric morphisms between elementary toposes can be represented as adjunctions between the corresponding categories of locales. These adjunctions are characterised as those that preserve the order enrichment, commute with…

We develop the theory of relative monads and relative adjunctions in a virtual equipment, extending the theory of monads and adjunctions in a 2-category. The theory of relative comonads and relative coadjunctions follows by duality. While…

Monoidal functors U:C --> M with left adjoints determine, in a universal way, monoids T in the category of oplax monoidal endofunctors on M. Such monads will be called bimonads. Treating bimonads as abstract "quantum groupoids" we derive…

Our work over the past years shows that not only the collection of (for instance) all topological spaces gives rise to a category, but also each topological space can be seen individually as a category by interpreting the convergence…

This note aims to introduce a left adjoint functor to the functor which assigns a heap to a group. The adjunction is monadic. It is explained how one can decompose a free group functor through the previously introduced adjoint and employ it…

We prove that there is an adjunction between what we call \'etale topological categories and restriction quantal frames that leads to an adjunction with a category of complete restriction monoids. This generalizes the adjunction between…

A new calculus of planar diagrams involving diagrammatics for biadjoint functors and degenerate affine Hecke algebras is introduced. The calculus leads to an additive monoidal category whose Grothendieck ring contains an integral form of…

The fundamental construction underlying descent theory, the lax descent category, comes with a functor that forgets the descent data. We prove that, in any $2$-category $\mathfrak{A} $ with lax descent objects, the forgetful morphisms…

For functors $L:\A\to \B$ and $R:\B\to \A$ between any categories $\A$ and $\B$, a {\em pairing} is defined by maps, natural in $A\in \A$ and $B\in \B$, $$\xymatrix{\Mor_\B (L(A),B) \ar@<0.5ex>[r]^{\alpha} & \Mor_\A…

We investigate several categories related to transition structures, using a mixture of algebraic and topological methods. We show how two such categories are connected by a contravariant adjunction. This is the most detailed of a family of…

The notion of a duality between two derived functors as well as an extension theorem for derived functors to larger categories in which they need not be defined is introduced. These ideas are then applied to extend and study the coext…
