We introduce a family of commuting generalised symmetries of the Dunkl--Dirac operator inspired by the Maxwell construction in harmonic analysis. We use these generalised symmetries to construct bases of the polynomial null-solutions of the…
It is proved that MacLane's coherence results for monoidal and symmetric monoidal categories can be extended to some other categories with multiplication; namely, to relevant, affine and cartesian categories. All results are formulated in…
We explain how to construct solutions to the self-dual Einstein vacuum equations from solutions of various two-dimensional integrable systems by exploiting the fact that the Lax formulations of both systems can be embedded in that of the…
We discuss the relationship between two-dimensional (2D) dilaton gravity models and sine-Gordon-like field theories. We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the solutions of 2D dilaton gravity and the solutions of a (two…
We investigate the notion of involutive weak globular $\omega$-categories via Jacque Penon's approach. In particular, we give the constructions of a free self-dual globular $\omega$-magma, of a free strict involutive globular…
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 Gray-categories $P$ and $L$, there is a Gray-category $\mathrm{Tricat}_{\mathrm{ls}}(P,L)$ of locally strict trihomomorphisms with domain $P$ and codomain $L$, tritransformations, trimodifications, and perturbations. If the domain $P$…
A geometrical formulation for adjoint-symmetries as 1-forms is studied for general partial differential equations (PDEs), which provides a dual counterpart of the geometrical meaning of symmetries as tangent vector fields on the solution…
It is shown that the local coupling of a higher dimensional graviton to a closed degenerate two-form produces dimensional reduction by spontaneous breakdown of extra-dimensional translational symmetry. Four dimensional Poincar\'e invariance…
Notions of generalized multicategory have been defined in numerous contexts throughout the literature, and include such diverse examples as symmetric multicategories, globular operads, Lawvere theories, and topological spaces. In each case,…
The symmetries of generic 2D dilaton models of gravity with (and without) matter are studied in some detail. It is shown that $\delta_2$, one of the symmetries of the matterless models, can be generalized to the case where matter fields of…
We provide a thorough algebraic analysis of three known completions having a central role in the exact completions of Lawvere's doctrines: the one adding comprehensive diagonals (i.e. forcing equality on terms to coincide with the equality…
Locally variational systems of differential equations on smooth manifolds, having certain de Rham cohomology group trivial, automatically possess a global Lagrangian. This important result due to Takens is, how-ever, of sheaf-theoretic…
We show how to "interleave" the monad for operads and the monad for contractions on the category \coll of collections, to construct the monad for the operads-with-contraction of Leinster. We first decompose the adjunction for operads and…
For a 2-category $\mathcal{K}$, we consider Street's 2-category Mnd($\mathcal{K}$) of monads in $\mathcal{K}$, along with Lack and Street's 2-category EM($\mathcal{K}$) and the identity-on-objects-and-1-cells 2-functor Mnd($\mathcal{K}$)…
Dyckerhoff--Kapranov and G\'alvez-Carrillo--Kock--Tonks independently introduced the notion of a $2$-Segal space, that is, a simplicial space satisfying $2$-dimensional analogues of the Segal conditions, as a unifying framework for…
Vogel's universality implies a unified description of the adjoint sector of representation theory for simple Lie algebras in terms of three parameters $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$, which are homogeneous coordinates of Vogel's plane. Actually this…
For a small quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, we consider 2-monads on the 2-category $\mathcal{Q}$-$\bf{Cat}$ and their lax extensions to the 2-category $\mathcal{Q}$-$\bf{Dist}$ of small $\mathcal{Q}$-categories and their distributors, in…
We analyse compatibility between monads and monoidal structures in the two-dimensional setting. We describe sufficient conditions for monoidal structures to lift to the Eilenberg-Moore pseudoalgebras. We then extend these results to braids,…
In the usual procedure for toroidal Kaluza-Klein reduction, all the higher-dimensional fields are taken to be independent of the coordinates on the internal space. It has recently been observed that a generalisation of this procedure is…
