We define 2-categories of microlocal perverse (resp. coherent) sheaves of categories on the skeleton of a hypertoric variety and show that the generators of these 2-categories lift the projectives (resp. simples) in hypertoric category…

We prove that the category of McKinsey-Tarski algebras is not equivalent to a variety of algebras, thus answering a question of Peter Jipsen in the negative. More generally, we show that various categories of BAOs (boolean algebras with an…

In this article we prove that for a large class of 2-dimensional minimal cones (including almost all 2-dimensional minimal cones that we know), the almost orthogonal union of any two of them is still a minimal cone. Comparing to existing…

Given a 2-category $\twocat{K}$ admitting a calculus of bimodules, and a 2-monad T on it compatible with such calculus, we construct a 2-category $\twocat{L}$ with a 2-monad S on it such that: (1)S has the adjoint-pseudo-algebra property.…

A 2-group is a "categorified" version of a group, in which the underlying set G has been replaced by a category and the multiplication map has been replaced by a functor. Various versions of this notion have already been explored; our goal…

Using the category of metric spaces as a template, we develop a metric analogue of the categorical semantics of classical/intuitionistic logic, and show that the natural notion of predicate in this "continuous semantics" is equivalent to…

We introduce the notion of pie algebra for a 2-monad, these bearing the same relationship to the flexible and semiflexible algebras as pie limits do to flexible and semiflexible ones. We see that in many cases, the pie algebras are…

We describe the second order ODE's cubic in the first order derivative with 2-dimensional symmetry algebra. We show that there exist only eight different types of them. We also construct the easily verifiable Equivalence Criterion for every…

We show that the category of corings over a fixed base ring with local units is equivalent to the category of comonads in (right) unital modules whose underlying functors preserve inductive limits. Changing base rings, we prove a…

We build a concrete and natural model for the strict 2-category of orbifolds. In particular we prove that if one localizes the 2-category of proper etale Lie groupoids at a class of 1-arrows that we call "covers", then the strict 2-category…

We define a simple dependent type theory and prove that its well-formed types correspond exactly to finite inverse categories.

We establish a super duality as an equivalence between Whittaker module categories over a pair of classical Lie algebra and Lie superalgebra in the infinite-rank limit. Building on this result and utilizing the Losev-Shu-Xiao decomposition,…

Given a pseudomonad $\mathcal{T} $, we prove that a lax $\mathcal{T} $-morphism between pseudoalgebras is a $\mathcal{T} $-pseudomorphism if and only if there is a suitable (possibly non-canonical) invertible $\mathcal{T} $-transformation.…

We answer the question to what extent homotopy (co)limits in categories with weak equivalences allow for a Fubini-type interchange law. The main obstacle is that we do not assume our categories with weak equivalences to come equipped with a…

The proximal, regular and limiting normal cones to the second-order cone complementarity set play important roles in studying mathematical programs with second-order cone complementarity constraints, second-order cone programs, and the…

A 2-group is a `categorified' version of a group, in which the underlying set G has been replaced by a category and the multiplication map m: G x G -> G has been replaced by a functor. A number of precise definitions of this notion have…

We introduce two families of inequalities. Large ensemble decoupling is connected to the continuous restriction phenomenon. Tight decoupling is connected to the discrete Restriction conjecture for the sphere. Our investigation opens new…

We consider the termination/non-termination property of a class of loops. Such loops are commonly used abstractions of real program pieces. Second-order logic is a convenient language to express non-termination. Of course, such property is…
