For a morphism f in a category C with sufficiently many finite limits and colimits, we discuss an elementary construction of a decomposition of f through objects P and N which, if C happens to have a zero object, amounts to the standard…
For every functor $\mathcal{F} : \mathcal{K} \to \mathbf{C}$, where $\mathcal{K}$ is a small category and $\mathbf{C}$ is a model category which satisfies some mild hypotheses, we define a model category $\mathbf{C}^m$ of…
A $\mathcal{C}$-set is a functor from the category $\mathcal{C}$ to the category of finite sets and functions. The category of $\mathcal{C}$-sets, $\mathcal{C} - \operatorname*{set}$, is defined as the category whose objects are…
This work establishes a robust mathematical foundation for compositional System Dynamics modeling, leveraging category theory to formalize and enhance the representation, analysis, and composition of system models. Here, System Dynamics…
Hyperspaces form a powerful tool in some branches of mathematics: lots of fractal and other geometric objects can be viewed as fixed points of some functions in suitable hyperspaces - as well as interesting classes of formal languages in…
This paper presents preliminary work on a general system for integrating dependent types into substructural type systems such as linear logic and linear type theory. Prior work on this front has generally managed to deliver type systems…
Scientific computing is currently performed by writing domain specific modeling frameworks for solving special classes of mathematical problems. Since applied category theory provides abstract reasoning machinery for describing and…
Given an $\infty$-category $C$ equipped with suitable wide subcategories $I, P \subset E\subset C$, we show that the $(\infty,2)$-category $\text{S}{\scriptstyle\text{PAN}}_2(C,E)_{P,I}$ of higher (or iterated) spans defined by Haugseng has…
Strong Steiner $\omega$-categories are a class of $\omega$-categories that admit algebraic models in the form of chain complexes, whose formalism allows for several explicit computations. The conditions defining strong Steiner…
This is the first part of a project aimed at formalizing Rozansky-Witten models in the functorial field theory framework. Motivated by work of Calaque-Haugseng-Scheimbauer, we construct a family of symmetric monoidal $(\infty,3)$-categories…
We introduce a notion of "weak model category" which is a weakening of the notion of Quillen model category, still sufficient to define a homotopy category, Quillen adjunctions, Quillen equivalences and most of the usual construction of…
Recently, there has been growing interest in bicategorical models of programming languages, which are "proof-relevant" in the sense that they keep distinct account of execution traces leading to the same observable outcomes, while assigning…
Our goal is to derive some families of maps, also known as functions, from injective maps and surjective maps; this can be useful in various fields of mathematics. Let A be a small concrete category. We define a functor F, cometic functor,…
We propose a new grammar-based language for defining information-extractors from documents (text) that is built upon the well-studied framework of document spanners for extracting structured data from text. While previously studied…
We show that the comma category $(\mathcal{F}\downarrow\mathbf{Grp})$ of groups under the free group functor $\mathcal{F}: \mathbf{Set} \to \mathbf{Grp}$ contains the category $\mathbf{Gph}$ of simple graphs as a full coreflective…
For a nice-enough category $\mathcal{C}$, we construct both the morphism category ${\rm H}(\mathcal{C})$ of $\mathcal{C}$ and the category ${\rm mod}\mbox{-}\mathcal{C}$ of all finitely presented contravariant additive functors over…
Let $n$ be a non-negative integer. {Motivated by the universal property of the stable category of Frobenius categories, the authors in \cite{bfss} extended the stabilization of Frobenius categories to $n$-Frobenius categories, and called it…
We present an abstract, categorical formulation of dependent functions in a fundamental manner and independently from the Sigma-construction. For that, we define first the notion of a category with family-arrows, or a $\f$-category. A $(\f,…
This article serves as a preliminary introduction to the design of a new, open-source applied and computational category theory framework, named Categorica, built on top of the Wolfram Language. Categorica allows one to configure and…
Category theory is the language of homological algebra, allowing us to state broadly applicable theorems and results without needing to specify the details for every instance of analogous objects. However, authors often stray from the realm…
