These are the notes for a minicourse held in Odessa (2016) and Belo Horizonte (2017). My aim was to provide a short introduction to basic notions of category theory and representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras. We learnt the…

This paper considers the possible underlying multicategories for a symmetric monoidal category, and shows that, up to canonical and coherent isomorphism, there really is only one. As a result, there is a well-defined forgetful functor from…

We continue investigating the structure of externally definable sets in NIP theories and preservation of NIP after expanding by new predicates. Most importantly: types over finite sets are uniformly definable; over a model, a family of…

We investigate the relative opers over the complex analytic family of compact complex manifolds of relative dimension one. We introduce the notion of relative opers arising from the second fundamental form associated with a relative…

We describe some of the basic properties of the 2-category of 2-term complexes in an abelian category, using butterflies as morphisms.

This belongs to a series of papers devoted to the study of the cohomology of classifying spaces of Lie groupoids. Our aim here is to introduce and study the notion of representation up to homotopy of Lie groupoids, the resulting derived…

We examine second bounded cohomology and mod p homology in finite index subgroups of 1-relator groups and groups with a presentation of deficiency at least one. We use this to determine exactly which 1-relator groups are boundedly…

We offer a criterion for showing that the automorphism group of an ultrahomogeneous structure is topologically 2-generated and even has a cyclically dense conjugacy class. We then show how finite topological rank of the automorphism group…

We fix any bicategory $\mathscr{A}$ together with a class of morphisms $\mathbf{W}_{\mathscr{A}}$, such that there is a bicategory of fractions $\mathscr{A}[\mathbf{W}_{\mathscr{A}}^{-1}]$. Given another such pair…

We extend the standard construction of the adjoint representation of a Lie groupoid to the case of an arbitrary higher Lie groupoid. As for a Lie groupoid, the adjoint representation of a higher Lie groupoid turns out to be a representation…

We show that for various natural classes of groups and appropriately defined K- and L-theoretic functors, injectivity or bijectivity of the assembly map follows from the Isomorphism Conjecture being true for acyclic groups lying within that…

The subject of this paper is the higher structure of the strictification adjunction, which relates the two fundamental bases of three-dimensional category theory: the $\mathbf{Gray}$-category of $2$-categories and the tricategory of…

We give a detailed account of the theory of enrichment over a bicategory and show that it establishes a two-fold generalization of enrichment over both quantaloids and monoidal categories. We define complete B-categories, a generalization…

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 study the relationship between the adjacency matrix and the discrete Laplacian acting on 1-forms. We also prove that if the adjacency matrix is bounded from below it is not necessarily essentially self-adjoint. We discuss the question of…

We exhibit an adjunction between a category of abstract algebras of partial functions and a category of set quotients. The algebras are those atomic algebras representable as a collection of partial functions closed under relative…

On every set A there is a rigid binary relation, i.e. such a relation R that there is no homomorphism (A,R)->(A,R) except the identity (Vopenka et al. [1965]). We state two conjectures which strengthen this theorem. We prove these…

Originally enriched categories were defined over a monoidal category, but it was gradually realized that important examples can only be included when one enriches over more general structures such as bicategories and virtual double…

We establish an equivalence of homotopy theories between symmetric monoidal bicategories and connective spectra. For this, we develop the theory of $\Gamma$-objects in 2-categories. In the course of the proof we establish strictfication…

Differentiable conjugacies link dynamical systems that share properties such as the stability multipliers of corresponding orbits. It provides a stronger classification than topological conjugacy, which only requires qualitative similarity.…
