We establish a relative monadicity theorem for relative monads with dense roots in a virtual equipment, specialising to a relative monadicity theorem for enriched relative monads. In particular, for a dense $\mathbb V$-functor $j \colon A…

Extensions of Stone-type dualities have a long history in algebraic logic and have also been instrumental in proving results in algebraic language theory. We show how to extend abstract categorical dualities via monoidal adjunctions,…

We construct a monoidal version of Lurie's un/straightening equivalence. In more detail, for any symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathbf C$, we endow the $\infty$-category of coCartesian fibrations over $\mathbf C$ with a (naturally…

We denote the monoidal bicategory of two-sided modules (also called profunctors, bimodules and distributors) between categories by $\mathrm{Mod}$; the tensor product is cartesian product of categories. For a groupoid $\scr{G}$, we study the…

Given a symmetric monoidal $(\infty,n)$-category $\mathcal{C}$ and a space $X$, we address the problem of explicitly describing the symmetric monoidal $(\infty,n)$-category freely obtained from $\mathcal{C}$ by adjoining $X$ new…

We apply the Acyclicity Theorem of Hess, Kerdziorek, Riehl, and Shipley (recently corrected by Garner, Kedziorek, and Riehl) to establishing the existence of model category structure on categories of coalgebras over comonads arising from…

In this paper we propose a construction of a monoidal category of "free-monodromic" tilting perverse sheaves on (Kac-Moody) flag varieties in the setting of the "mixed modular derived category" introduced by the first and third authors.…

Given a right adjoint functor between triangulated categories and an object in the target category, we show that the unit map of adjunction on that object is a split monomorphism if and only if the object belongs to the additive closure of…

We define the monoidal category $(Poly_E,y,\triangleleft)$ of polynomials under composition in any category $E$ with finite limits, including both cartesian and vertical morphisms of polynomials, and generalize to this setting the Dirichlet…

We construct a strict pivotal monoidal category $\mathcal{D}_{\mathrm{DNA}}$ whose objects are DNA sequences (words over $\{A,C,G,T\}$) and whose morphisms are isotopy classes of typed noncrossing planar matchings, composed of…

We show that the obstruction to the existence of a strict symmetric monoidal structure on a monoidal stack $\cal C$ is determined by a commutator biextension associated to $\cal C$, and that this biextension is alternating under an…

We construct an adjunction between $m$-categories internal to $(\infty,n)$-categories, called $(n,m)$-double $\infty$-categories, and filtrations $A_0\to \dots\to A_m$ where for all $i<m$, $A_i$ is a $(n+i)$-category. We show that this…

The aim of this paper is to give an alternative construction of Street's cosimplicial object of orientals, based on an idea of Burroni that orientals are free algebras for some algebraic structure on strict $\omega$-categories. More…

For an adjoint pair $(F, G)$ of functors, we prove that $G$ is a separable functor if and only if the defined monad is separable and the associated comparison functor is an equivalence up to retracts. In this case, under an idempotent…
