We introduce the notion of a definable category--a category equivalent to a full subcategory of a locally finitely presentable category that is closed under products, directed colimits and pure subobjects. Definable subcategories are…
Dilatations modify categories by imposing that some morphisms factorize through some others. This is formalized by a universal property. This text is devoted to introduce and study this construction. Examples of dilatations of categories…
In this work we propose a realization of Lurie's prediction that inner fibrations $p: X \rightarrow A$ are classified by $A$-indexed diagrams in a ``higher category" whose objects are $\infty$-categories, morphisms are correspondences…
We define the notion of an indexed profunctor over a 2-category, and use it to develop an abstract theory of limits. The theory subsumes (conical) limits, weighted limits, ends and Kan extensions. Results include an abstract version of the…
We consider a version of the relative Fukaya category for anticanonical Lefschetz pencils. There are direct connections between the behaviour of this category and enumerative geometry: some of these are results announced here, others remain…
We define the category 2-Cob combinatorially and use this definition to prove the existence of an orthogonal factorization system. In the second half of the paper, we define oriented 1-Cob similarly and define a functor from oriented 1-Cob…
In this paper we study the homotopy theory of parameterized spectrum objects in the $\infty$-category of $(\infty, 2)$-categories, as well as the Quillen cohomology of an $(\infty, 2)$-category with coefficients in such a parameterized…
The key notion to understand the left determined Olschok model category of star-shaped Cattani-Sassone transition systems is past-similarity. Two states are past-similar if they have homotopic pasts. An object is fibrant if and only if the…
We propose definitions of regular and exact (virtual) double categories, proving a number of results which parallel many basic results in the theory of regular and exact categories. We show that any regular virtual double category admits a…
In this note, we compare the two approaches to semiring schemes as topological spaces with a structure sheaf and as a functor of points. We explain and prove the following two results: (1) the topological space can be recovered from the…
We define a 2-category structure (Pre-Orb) on the category of reduced complex orbifold atlases. We construct a 2-functor F from (Pre-Orb) to the 2-category (Grp) of proper \'etale effective groupoid objects over the complex manifolds. Both…
We introduce the class of isotypic $2$-representations for finitary $2$-categories and the notion of inflation of $2$-representations. Under some natural assumptions we show that isotypic $2$-representations are equivalent to inflations of…
It is proved that equalities between arrows assumed for cartesian categories are maximal in the sense that extending them with any new equality in the language of free cartesian categories collapses a cartesian category into a preorder. An…
We give factorizations for weighted spanning tree enumerators of Cartesian products of complete graphs, keeping track of fine weights related to degree sequences and edge directions. Our methods combine Kirchhoff's Matrix-Tree Theorem with…
In strictly factorisable operadic categories, every morphism $f$ factors uniquely as $f=\eta_f \circ \pi_f$ where $\eta_f$ is order-preserving and $\pi_f$ is a quasi\-bijection that is order-preserving on the fibres of $\eta_f$. We call it…
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 study fibrations arising from indexed categories of the following form: fix two categories $\mathcal{A},\mathcal{X}$ and a functor $F : \mathcal{A} \times \mathcal{X} \longrightarrow\mathcal{X} $, so that to each $F_A=F(A,-)$ one can…
Recently Riehl and Verity have introduced $\infty$-cosmoi, which are certain simplicially enriched categories with additional structure. In this paper we investigate those $\infty$-cosmoi which are in fact $2$-categories; we shall refer to…
We discuss the question of finding conditions on a derived equivalence between two smooth projective varieties $X$ and $Y$ that imply that $X$ and $Y$ are birational. The types of conditions we consider are in the spirit of finding…
We prove that the sectional category of the universal fibration with fibre X, for X any space that satisfies a well-known conjecture of Halperin, equals one after rationalization.
