We construct an explicit combinatorial model of the functor which adds right adjoints to the morphisms of an $\infty$-category, and we speculate on possible extensions to higher dimensions.

We develop the theory of 2-quivers and quiver 2-categories to run in parallel with the classical theory of quiver algebras. A quiver 2-category is always finitary, and, conversely, every finitary 2-category will be bi-equivalent with a…

(Pre)closure spaces are a generalization of topological spaces covering also the notion of neighbourhood in discrete structures, widely used to model and reason about spatial aspects of distributed systems. In this paper we introduce an…

A new construction to associate an internal category to an enriched one is presented. The key concept is that of extensive ambient category, and the construction follows the one that associates a category whose idempotents split to a given…

Category theory unifies mathematical concepts, aiding comparisons across structures by incorporating objects and morphisms, which capture their interactions. It has influenced areas of computer science such as automata theory, functional…

We establish a form of 2-adjunction (tentatively termed the *fundamental 2-adjunction*), building on the fundamental adjunction proposed by Olivia Caramello and Riccardo Zanfa, which provides a constructive method for the associated stack…

Adjoint functors and projectivization in representation theory of partially ordered sets are used to generalize the algorithms of differentiation by a maximal and by a minimal point. Conceptual explanations are given for the combinatorial…

This paper is a rather informal guide to some of the basic theory of 2-categories and bicategories, including notions of limit and colimit, 2-dimensional universal algebra, formal category theory, and nerves of bicategories. As is the way…

As several different formal systems with inequivalent syntax may describe equivalent semantics, it is possible to find `completions' to more expressive syntaxes that are semantically invariant. Doctrine theory, in the sense of Lawvere, is…

We extend some of our earlier results on the interconnection between ultrafilter extensions, and ultrapowers. Throughout we restrict ourselves to relational structures with one binary relation. Recently it was shown that for bounded…

In this thesis I lift the Curry--Howard--Lambek correspondence between the simply-typed lambda calculus and cartesian closed categories to the bicategorical setting, then use the resulting type theory to prove a coherence result for…

Adjoint functor theorems give necessary and sufficient conditions for a functor to admit an adjoint. In this paper we prove general adjoint functor theorems for functors between $\infty$-categories. One of our main results is an…

There are many category-theoretic notions of algebraic theory, including Lawvere theories, monads, PROPs and operads. The first central notion of this thesis is a common generalisation of these, which we call a proto-theory. In order to…

We investigate an enriched-categorical approach to a field of discrete mathematics. The main result is a duality theorem between a class of enriched categories (called $\overline{\mathbb{Z}}$- or $\overline{\mathbb{R}}$-categories) and that…

Many kinds of categorical structure require the existence of finite limits, of colimits of some specified type, and of "exactness" conditions between the finite limits and the specified colimits. Some examples are the notions of regular, or…

We give an overview of the parts of arXiv:2004.04279 that deal with 2-categories, up to and including adjunction, and explain how the Segal-type approach to 2-categories adopted there is related to the more standard approaches. As an…

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…

In this paper we propose an approach to homotopical algebra where the basic ingredient is a category with two classes of distinguished morphisms: strong and weak equivalences. These data determine the cofibrant objects by an extension…

Grothendieck fibrations provide a unifying algebraic framework that underlies the treatment of various form of logics, such as first order logic, higher order logics and dependent type theories. In the categorical approach to logic proposed…

Fiore and Hur recently introduced a conservative extension of universal algebra and equational logic from first to second order. Second-order universal algebra and second-order equational logic respectively provide a model theory and a…
