We give a new description of computads for weak globular $\omega$-categories by giving an explicit inductive definition of the free words. This yields a new understanding of computads, and allows a new definition of $\omega$-category that…

Motivated by generalizing Khovanov's categorification of the Jones polynomial, we study functors $F$ from thin posets $P$ to abelian categories $\mathcal{A}$. Such functors $F$ produce cohomology theories $H^*(P,\mathcal{A},F)$. We find…

In this paper we study the topology of cobordism categories of manifolds with corners. Specifically, if {Cob}_{d,<k>} is the category whose objets are a fixed dimension d, with corners of codimension less than or equal to k, then we…

Every smooth manifold contains particles which propagate. These form objects and morphisms of a category equipped with a functor to the category of Abelian groups, turning this into a 0+1 topological field theory. We investigate the…

We construct an exact tensor functor from the category $\mathcal{A}$ of finite-dimensional graded modules over the quiver Hecke algebra of type $A_\infty$ to the category $\mathscr C_{B^{(1)}_n}$ of finite-dimensional integrable modules…

We identify a reasonably large class of pushouts of strict $n$-categories which are preserved by the "inclusion" functor from strict $n$-categories to weak $(\infty,n)$-categories. These include the pushouts used to assemble from its…

For any $\mathbf{a}=(a_1,\dots,a_n)\in \mathbb{C}^n$, we introduce a Whittaker category $\mathcal{H}_{\mathbf{a}}$ whose objects are $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$-modules $M$ such that $e_{0i}-a_i$ acts locally nilpotently on $M$ for all $i \in…

The aim of this paper is to define and study Yetter-Drinfeld modules over weak Hom-Hopf algebras. We show that the category ${}_H{\cal WYD}^H$ of Yetter-Drinfeld modules with bijective structure maps over weak Hom-Hopf algebras is a rigid…

We construct a `weak' version EM^w(K) of Lack & Street's 2-category of monads in a 2-category K, by replacing their compatibility constraint of 1-cells with the units of monads by an additional condition on the 2-cells. A relation between…

In this paper, we introduce a cofibrant simplicial category that we call the free homotopy coherent adjunction and characterize its n-arrows using a graphical calculus that we develop here. The hom-spaces are appropriately fibrant, indeed…

Tannaka Duality describes the relationship between algebraic objects in a given category and their representations; an important case is that of Hopf algebras and their categories of representations; these have strong monoidal forgetful…

A cubical Feynman category, introduced by the authors in previous work, is a category whose functors to a base category $\mathcal{C}$ behave like operads in $\mathcal{C}$. In this note we show that every cubical Feynman category is Koszul.…

We propose a notion of weak (n+k,n)-category, which we call (n+k,n)-Theta-spaces. The (n+k,n)-Theta-spaces are precisely the fibrant objects of a certain model category structure on the category of presheaves of simplicial sets on Joyal's…

Tannaka duality and its extensions by Lurie, Sch\"appi et al. reveal that many schemes as well as algebraic stacks may be identified with their tensor categories of quasi-coherent sheaves. In this thesis we study constructions of cocomplete…

We produce a cofibrantly generated simplicial symmetric monoidal model structure for the category of (small unital) C*-categories, whose weak equivalences are the unitary equivalences. The closed monoidal structure consists of the maximal…

We define a compressed zero-divisor graph $\varTheta(K)$ of a finite commutative unital ring $K$, where the compression is performed by means of the associatedness relation. We prove that this is the best possible compression which induces…

Based on a Whitehead-type characterization of the sectional category we develop the notion of weak sectional category. This is a new lower bound of the sectional category, which is inspired by the notion of weak category in the sense of…

We introduce the category of set-theoretic representations of a matched pair of groupoids. This is a monoidal category endowed with a monoidal functor to the category of quivers over the common base of the groupoids in the matched pair (the…

We provide a combinatorial description of the monoidal category generated by the fundamental representation of the small quantum group of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ at a root of unity $q$ of odd order. Our approach is diagrammatic, and it relies on…

We present a homotopy theory for a weak version of modular operads whose compositions and contractions are only defined up to homotopy. This homotopy theory takes the form of a Quillen model structure on the collection of simplicial…
