We introduce the notion of a relative pseudomonad, which generalises the notion of a pseudomonad, and define the Kleisli bicategory associated to a relative pseudomonad. We then present an efficient method to define pseudomonas on the…

Categories, n-categories, double categories, and multicategories (among others) all have similar definitions as collections of cells with composition operations. We give an explicit description of the information required to define any…

This paper introduces lax orthogonal algebraic weak factorisation systems on 2-categories and describes a method of constructing them. This method rests in the notion of simple 2-monad, that is a generalisation of the simple reflections…

We define extension maps as maps that extend a system (through adding ancillary systems) without changing the state in the original system. We show, using extension maps, why a completely positive operation on an initially entangled system…

There exists a proper holomorphic mapping between balls of different dimensions such that it does not extend continuously to the boundary. The aim of this paper is to show the same phenomenon occurs for pseudoconvex domains of different…

We prove a generalization of a theorem of Bunge and Gray about forming colax adjunctions out of relative Kan extensions and apply it to the study of the Kleisli 2-category for a lax-idempotent pseudomonad. For instance, we establish the…

Cumulant mapping employs a statistical reconstruction of the whole by sampling its parts. The theory developed in this work formalises and extends ad hoc methods of `multi-fold' or `multi-dimensional' covariance mapping. Explicit formulae…

Constructions of spectra from symmetric monoidal categories are typically functorial with respect to strict structure-preserving maps, but often the maps of interest are merely lax monoidal. We describe conditions under which one can…

Supersymmetry can be consistently generalized in one and two dimensional spaces, fractional supersymmetry being one of the possible extension. 2D fractional supersymmetry of arbitrary order $F$ is explicitly constructed using an adapted…

We extend the theory of probability graphons, continuum representations of edge-decorated graphs arising in graph limits theory, to the 'right convergence' point of view. First of all, we generalise the notions of overlay functionals and…

We study two classes of extension problems, and their interconnections: (i) Extension of positive definite (p.d.) continuous functions defined on subsets in locally compact groups $G$; (ii) In case of Lie groups, representations of the…

Working in the setting of $\infty$-categories, we develop a general theory of the codensity monad $T_\mathcal{D}$ associated with a full subcategory $\mathcal{D}\subseteq \mathcal{C}$. We show that $T_\mathcal{D}$ has a canonical monad…

We prove that the finitistic dimension conjecture, the Gorenstein Symmetry Conjecture, the Wakamatsu-tilting conjecture and the generalized Nakayama conjecture hold for artin algebras which can be realized as endomorphism algebras of…

We prove a biadjoint triangle theorem and its strict version, which are $2$-dimensional analogues of the adjoint triangle theorem of Dubuc. Similarly to the $1$-dimensional case, we demonstrate how we can apply our results to get the…

For a compact space X we consider extending endomorphisms of the algebra C(X) to be endomorphisms of Arens-Hoffman and Cole extensions of C(X). Given a non-linear, monic polynomial p in C(X)[t], with C(X)[t]/pC(X)[t] semi-simple, we show…

Fong developed `decorated cospans' to model various kinds of open systems: that is, systems with inputs and outputs. In this framework, open systems are seen as the morphisms of a category and can be composed as such, allowing larger open…

We analyze definably compact groups in o-minimal expansions of ordered groups as a combination of semi-linear groups and groups definable in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields. The analysis involves structure theorems about their…

We give a general categorical construction that yields several monads of measures and distributions as special cases, alongside several monads of filters. The construction takes place within a categorical setting for generalized functional…

We prove that if $B\subseteq A$ is an extension of finite dimensional algebras such that the projective dimension of $A/B$ as a $B$-bimodule is finite, if $A$ has finite finitistic dimension, then so does $B$. We exhibit examples…
