In this article, we will show that the category of biset functors can be regarded as a reflective monoidal subcategory of the category of Mackey functors on the 2-category of finite groupoids. This reflective subcategory is equivalent to…

Some basic features of the simultaneous inclusion of discrete fibrations and discrete opfibrations in categories over a base category X are considered. In particular, we illustrate the formulas (|P)x = ten(x/X,P) ; (P|)x = hom(X/x,P) which…

We study the positive-definite completion problem for kernels on a variety of domains and prove results concerning the existence, uniqueness, and characterization of solutions. In particular, we study a special solution called the canonical…

Building on the notion of normed category as suggested by Lawvere, we introduce notions of Cauchy convergence and cocompleteness which differ from proposals in previous works. Key to our approach is to treat them consequentially as…

Every endofunctor of the category of classes is proved to be set-based in the sense of Aczel and Mendler, therefore, it has a final coalgebra. Other basic properties of these endofunctors are proved, e.g. the existence of a free completely…

There is a well-known correspondence between coherent theories (and their interpretations) and coherent categories (resp. functors), hence the (2,1)-category $\mathbf{Coh_{\sim}}$ (of small coherent categories, coherent functors and all…

The main result concerns a bicategorical factorization system on the bicategory $\mathrm{Cat}$ of categories and functors. Each functor $A\xra{f} B$ factors up to isomorphism as $A\xra{j}E\xra{p}B$ where $j$ is what we call an ultimate…

We revisit an old assertion due to Rouquier, characterizing the perfect complexes as bounded homological functors on the bounded complexes of coherent sheaves. The new results vastly generalize the old statement---first of all the ground…

Let X be a smooth toric variety defined by the fan {\Sigma} . We consider {\Sigma} as a finite set with topology and define a natural sheaf of graded algebras A_{\Sigma} on {\Sigma} . The category of modules over A_{\Sigma} is studied…

A compact T-algebra is an initial T-algebra whose inverse is a final T-coalgebra. Functors with this property are said to be algebraically compact. This is a very strong property used in programming semantics which allows one to interpret…

To a function with values in the power set of a pre--ordered, separated locally convex space a family of scalarizations is given which completely characterizes the original function. A concept of a Legendre--Fenchel conjugate for set-valued…

We show that for various natural classes of groups and appropriately defined K- and L-theoretic functors, injectivity or bijectivity of the assembly map follows from the Isomorphism Conjecture being true for acyclic groups lying within that…

We give another proof of the fact that there is a dual equivalence between the $\infty$-category of monoidal $\infty$-categories with left adjoint oplax monoidal functors and that with right adjoint lax monoidal functors by constructing a…

For a (possibly large) realized limit sketch $\mathcal{S}$ such that every $\mathcal{S}$-model is small in a suitable sense we show that the category of cocontinuous functors $\mathsf{Mod}(\mathcal{S}) \to \mathcal{C}$ into a cocomplete…

For a finite dimensional algebra $A$, we prove that the bounded homotopy category of projective $A$-modules and the bounded derived category of $A$-modules are dual to each other via certain categories of locally-finite cohomological…

We exhibit an adjunction between a category of abstract algebras of partial functions and a category of set quotients. The algebras are those atomic algebras representable as a collection of partial functions closed under relative…

In this article, we consider a formulation of biset functors using the 2-category of finite sets with variable finite group actions. We introduce a 2-category $\mathbb{S}$, on which a biset functor can be regarded as a special kind of…

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…

We define, for any group $G$, finite approximations ; with this tool, we give a new presentation of the profinite completion $\hat{\pi} : G \to \hat{G}$ of an abtract group $G$. We then prove the following theorem : if $k$ is a finite prime…

We prove basic facts about reflexivity in derived categories over noetherian schemes; and about related notions such as semidualizing complexes, invertible complexes, and Gorenstein-perfect maps. Also, we study a notion of rigidity with…
