We organize the modified trace theory with the use of the Nakayama functor of finite abelian categories. For a linear right exact functor $\Sigma$ on a finite abelian category $\mathcal{M}$, we introduce the notion of a $\Sigma$-twisted…

Given a braided pivotal category $\mathcal C$ and a pivotal module tensor category $\mathcal M$, we define a functor $\mathrm{Tr}_{\mathcal C}:\mathcal M \to \mathcal C$, called the associated categorified trace. By a result of…

For C a factorisable and pivotal finite tensor category over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero we show: 1) C always contains a simple projective object; 2) if C is in addition ribbon, the internal characters of projective…

Let H be a finite-dimensional pivotal and unimodular Hopf algebra over a field k. It was shown in [BBGa] that the projective tensor ideal in H-mod admits a unique non-degenerate modified trace, a natural generalisation of the categorical…

We study a 2-functor that assigns to a bimodule category over a finite k-linear tensor category a k-linear abelian category. This 2-functor can be regarded as a category-valued trace for 1-morphisms in the tricategory of finite tensor…

We define a tracelike transformation to be a natural family of conjugation invariant maps $T_{x,C}: hom_C(x,x) \to hom_C(1,1)$ for all dualisable objects $x$ in any symmetric monoidal infinity-category $C$. This generalises the trace from…

We study algebraic K-theory and topological Hochschild homology in the setting of bimodules over a stable category, a datum we refer to as a laced category. We show that in this setting both K-theory and THH carry universal properties, the…

We construct a family of finite element sub-complexes of the conformal complex on tetrahedral meshes and show their exactness on contractible domains. This complex includes vector fields and symmetric and traceless tensor fields, connected…

A modified trace for a finite k-linear pivotal category is a family of linear forms on endomorphism spaces of projective objects which has cyclicity and so-called partial trace properties. We show that a non-degenerate modified trace…

We prove a version of J.P. May's theorem on the additivity of traces, in symmetric monoidal stable $\infty$-categories. Our proof proceeds via a categorification, namely we use the additivity of topological Hochschild homology as an…

A variant of the trace in a monoidal category is given in the setting of closed monoidal derivators, which is applicable to endomorphisms of fiberwise dualizable objects. Functoriality of this trace is established. As an application, an…

We introduce the notion of a $c$-category, which is a kind of category whose behaviour is controlled by connective ring spectra. More precisely, any $c$-category admits a finite step resolution by categories of compact modules over…

We compare the (horizontal) trace of the affine Hecke category with the elliptic Hall algebra, thus obtaining an "affine" version of the construction of [14]. Explicitly, we show that the aforementioned trace is generated by the objects…

In this paper we use topological techniques to construct generalized trace and modified dimension functions on ideals in certain ribbon categories. Examples of such ribbon categories naturally arise in representation theory where the usual…

Let $\k$ be a commutative ring, and let $(A,\mfrak{a})$ be an adic ring which is a $\k$-algebra. We study complete and torsion versions of the derived Hochschild homology and cohomology functors of $A$ over $\k$. To do this, we first…

Traced monoidal categories are used to model processes that can feed their outputs back to their own inputs, abstracting iteration. The category of finite dimensional Hilbert spaces with the direct sum tensor is not traced. But…

Category theory provides a means through which many far-ranging fields of mathematics can be related by their similar structure. In a paper by Robinson [2], this interconnectivity afforded by categorical perspectives allowed for the…

Categorification is a process of lifting structures to a higher categorical level. The original structure can then be recovered by means of the so-called "decategorification" functor. Algebras are typically categorified to additive…

With any even Hecke symmetry R (that is a Hecke type solution of the Yang-Baxter equation) we associate a quasitensor category. We formulate a condition on R implying that the constructed category is rigid and its commutativity isomorphisms…
