Modular functors are traditionally defined as systems of projective representations of mapping class groups of surfaces that are compatible with gluing. They can formally be described as modular algebras over central extensions of the…
There is an ``algebraisation'' of the notion of weak factorisation system (w.f.s.) known as a natural weak factorisation system. In it, the two classes of maps of a w.f.s. are replaced by two categories of maps-with-structure, where the…
Tate cohomology has been generalised by several authors using different constructions that have applications in group theory, ring theory and homotopical algebra. Therefore, there is a need for a uniform account that explains why their…
In this note, we discuss several aspects of the functoriality of universal abelian factorizations associated to representations of quivers into abelian categories. After recalling the general construction of universal abelian…
The derived category of a hypersurface has an action by "cohomology operations" k[t], deg t=-2, underlying the 2-periodic structure on its category of singularities (as matrix factorizations). We prove a Thom-Sebastiani type Theorem,…
In this note it is proved that every rational matrix which lies in the interior of the cone of completely positive matrices also has a rational cp-factorization.
In this paper we give sufficient conditions for lifting an enhanced factorization system $ (\mathcal{E}, \mathcal{M}) $ on a $ 2 $-category $ \mathbf{D} $ to the functor $ 2 $-category $ \mathbf{D}^{\mathbf{C}} $, where $ \mathbf{C} $ is a…
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…
We give an account of lax orthogonal factorisation systems on order-enriched categories. Among them, we define and characterise the KZ-reflective ones, in a way that mirrors the characterisation of reflective orthogonal factorisation…
The homotopy category of a model structure on a weakly idempotent complete additive category is proved to be equivalent to the additive quotient of the category of cofibrant-fibrant objects with respect to the subcategory of…
We study rank functions on a triangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ via its abelianisation $\operatorname{mod}\mathcal{C}$. We prove that every rank function on $\mathcal{C}$ can be interpreted as an additive function on…
The factorizable vectors of a complete Boolean algebra of type I factors, acting on a separable Hilbert space, are shown to be total, resolving a conjecture of Araki and Woods. En route, the spectral theory of noise-type Boolean algebras of…
It is well known that to give an oplax functor of bicategories $\mathbf{1}\to\mathscr{C}$ is to give a comonad in $\mathscr{C}$. Here we generalize this fact, replacing the terminal bicategory by any bicategory $\mathscr{A}$ for which the…
Given a monad T on a suitable enriched category B equipped with a proper factorization system (E,M), we define notions of T-completion, T-closure, and T-density. We show that not only the familiar notions of completion, closure, and density…
Given an exact category $\mathcal{C}$, it is well known that the connected component reflector $\pi_0\colon\mathsf{Gpd}(\mathcal{C})\to\mathcal{C}$ from the category $\mathsf{Gpd}(\mathcal{C})$ of internal groupoids in $\mathcal{C}$ to the…
Considering a (co)homology theory $\mathbb{T}$ on a base category $\mathcal{C}$ as a fragment of a first-order logical theory we here construct an abelian category $\mathcal{A}[\mathbb{T}]$ which is universal with respect to models of…
We study lax epimorphisms in 2-categories, with special attention to $\mathsf{Cat}$ and $\mathcal{V}$-$\mathsf{Cat}$. We show that any 2-category with convenient colimits has an orthogonal $LaxEpi$-factorization system, and we give a…
We use factorizable finite tensor categories, and specifically the representation categories of factorizable ribbon Hopf algebras H, as a laboratory for exploring bulk correlation functions in local logarithmic conformal field theories. For…
Let $\mathcal{M}$ be an $n$-cluster tilting subcategory of ${\rm mod}\mbox{-}\Lambda$, where $\Lambda$ is an artin algebra. Let $\mathcal{S}(\mathcal{M})$ denotes the full subcategory of $\mathcal{S}(\Lambda)$, the submodule category of…
A covariant functor from the category of mapping tori to a category of AF-algebras is constructed; the functor takes continuous maps between such manifolds to stable homomorphisms between the corresponding AF-algebras. We use this functor…
