Two point correlation functions of the off-critical primary fields \phi_{1, 1+s} are considered in the perturbed minimal models M_{2, 2N+3} + \phi_{1,3}. They are given as infinite series of form factor contributions. The form factors of…

A Morse 2-function is a generic smooth map from a manifold M of arbitrary finite dimension to a surface B. Its critical set maps to an immersed collection of cusped arcs in B. The aim of this paper is to explain exactly when it is possible…

The notion of geometric nerve of a 2-category (Street, \cite{refstreet}) provides a full and faithful functor if regarded as defined on the category of 2-categories and lax 2-functors. Furthermore, lax 2-natural transformations between lax…

Let $\mathfrak{C}$ be a multifusion 2-category. We show that every finite semisimple $\mathfrak{C}$-module 2-category is canonically enriched over $\mathfrak{C}$. Using this enrichment, we prove that every finite semisimple…

We introduce a notion of bimodule in the setting of enriched $\infty$-categories, and use this to construct a double $\infty$-category of enriched $\infty$-categories where the two kinds of 1-morphisms are functors and bimodules. We then…

Given a two-variable function $f$ without critical points and a compact region $R$ bounded by two level curves of $f$, this note proves that the integral over $R$ of the second-order directional derivative of $f$ in the tangential…

This paper is concerned with developing a 2-dimensional analogue of the notion of an ordinary discrete fibration. A definition is proposed, and it is shown that such discrete 2-fibrations correspond via a 2-equivalence to certain…

Given a complete, cocomplete category $\mathcal C$, we investigate the problem of describing those small categories $I$ such that the diagonal functor $\Delta:\mathcal C\to {\rm Functors}(I,\mathcal C)$ is a Frobenius functor. This…

A new category $\mathfrak{dp}$, called of dynamical patterns addressing a primitive, nongeometrical concept of dynamics, is defined and employed to construct a $2-$category $2-\mathfrak{dp}$, where the irreducible plurality of species of…

We define a bicategory $\mathbf{2TDX}$ whose 1-cells provide a categorification of transducers, computational devices extending finite-state automata with output capabilities. This bicategory is a mathematically interesting object: its…

We study the asymptotic behavior of Pick functions, analytic functions which take the upper half plane to itself. We show that if a two variable Pick function $f$ has real residues to order $2N-1$ at infinity and the imaginary part of the…

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 investigate (2,1):1 structures, which consist of a countable set $A$ together with a function $f: A \to A$ such that for every element $x$ in $A$, $f$ maps either exactly one element or exactly two elements of $A$ to $x$. These…

Given a symmetric monoidal $(\infty,2)$-category $\mathscr E$ we promote the trace construction to a functor. We then apply this formalism to the case when $\mathscr{E}$ is the $(\infty,2)$-category of $k$-linear presentable categories…

For real factors the notions of the coupling constant and the index are introduced and investigated. The possible values of the index for type II$_1$ real factors are calculated, in a similar way as for the complex case.

Given a group $G$, we define suitable 2-categorical structures on the class of all small categories with $G$-actions and on the class of all small $G$-graded categories, and prove that 2-categorical extensions of the orbit category…

In this paper we investigate the construction of bicategories of fractions originally described by D. Pronk: given any bicategory $\mathcal{C}$ together with a suitable class of morphisms $\mathbf{W}$, one can construct a bicategory…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a class P of continuous and periodic functions on R. The class P is defined so that second-order central differences of a function satisfy some concavity-type estimate. Although this definition…

A (convex) polytope $P$ is said to be $2$-level if for every direction of hyperplanes which is facet-defining for $P$, the vertices of $P$ can be covered with two hyperplanes of that direction. The study of these polytopes is motivated by…

For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…
