We develop the theory of strong and commutative monads in the 2-dimensional setting of bicategories. This provides a framework for the analysis of effects in many recent models which form bicategories and not categories, such as those based…

We introduce the notion of double cosets relative to two fusion subcategories of a fusion category. Given a tensor functor $F : \C \to \D$ between fusion categories, we introduce an equivalence relation $\approx^F$ on the set $\Lambda_\C$…

We introduce a bicategory that refines the localization of the category of dg categories with respect to quasi-equivalences and investigate its properties via formal category theory. Concretely, we first introduce the bicategory of dg…

We define bicategories internal to 2-categories. When the ambient 2-category is symmetric monoidal categories, this provides a convenient framework for encoding the structures of a symmetric monoidal 3-category. This framework is well…

We recall the notions of a graded cocategory, conilpotent cocategory, morphisms of such (cofunctors), coderivations and define their analogs in $\mathbb L$-filtered setting. The difference with the existing approaches: we do not impose any…

We provide a new characterization of enriched accessible categories by introducing the two new notions of virtual reflectivity and virtual orthogonality as a generalization of the usual reflectivity and orthogonality conditions for locally…

Originally enriched categories were defined over a monoidal category, but it was gradually realized that important examples can only be included when one enriches over more general structures such as bicategories and virtual double…

We introduce basic notions in category theory to type theorists, including comprehension categories, categories with attributes, contextual categories, type categories, and categories with families along with additional discussions that are…

This is mostly an overview. Given finitely presentable abelian categories $A$ and $B$, we sketch the construction of an abelian category of continuous functors from $A$ to $B$ that has nice $2$-categorical behaviour and gives an explicit…

The bicategory of parameterized spectra has a remarkably rich structure. In particular, it is possible to take traces in this bicategory, which give classical invariants that count fixed points. We can also take equivariant traces, which…

We introduce dicodensity monads: a generalisation of pointwise codensity monads generated by functors to monads generated by mixed-variant bifunctors. Our construction is based on the notion of strong dinaturality (also known as Barr…

Given any category $\mathcal{C}$ with pullbacks and a terminal object, we show that the data consisting of the objects of $\mathcal{C}$, the spans of $\mathcal{C}$, and the isomorphism classes of spans of spans of $\mathcal{C}$, forms a…

This article is first in a series of papers where we reprove the statements in constructing the Enhanced Operation Map and the abstract six-functor formalism developed by Liu-Zheng. In this paper, we prove a theorem regarding constructing…

This book is an introduction to 2-categories and bicategories, assuming only the most elementary aspects of category theory. A review of basic category theory is followed by a systematic discussion of 2-/bicategories, pasting diagrams, lax…

In this paper we introduce sigma limits (which we write $\sigma$-limits), a concept that interpolates between lax and pseudolimits: for a fixed family $\Sigma$ of arrows of a 2-category $\mathcal{A}$, a $\sigma$-cone for a $2$-functor…

This paper introduces and studies split two-sided 2-fibrations and locally discrete split two-sided 2-fibrations, using a formal categorical approach. We generalise Street's notion of split two-sided fibration internal to a 2-category to…

This note explains how dependent sums and products are interpreted by adjoints of the base change functor in a locally cartesian closed category. An effort is made to unpack all the definitions so as to make the concepts more transparent to…

This is an overview of double categories of "open systems": systems that can interact with their environment. We focus on the variable sharing paradigm, where we compose open systems by identifying variables. This paradigm is often…

We construct a version of Fourier transform for families of real tori. This transform defines a functor from certain category associated with a symplectic family of tori to the category of holomorphic vector bundles on the dual family (the…

We introduce a new categorical framework for studying derived functors, and in particular for comparing composites of left and right derived functors. Our central observation is that model categories are the objects of a double category…
