Monoidal categories enriched in a braided monoidal category $\mathcal{V}$ are classified by braided oplax monoidal functors from $\mathcal{V}$ to the Drinfeld centers of ordinary monoidal categories. In this article, we prove that this…

We prove that the homotopy theory of parsummable categories (as defined by Schwede) with respect to the underlying equivalences of categories is equivalent to the usual homotopy theory of symmetric monoidal categories. In particular, this…

Motivated by duality phenomena for derived global sections on derived local systems on compact oriented manifolds, we introduce the notion of a $d$-duality context between symmetric monoidal enriched categories. In this setting, the right…

Suppose $G$ is a finite group. In this paper, we construct an equivalence between the $\infty$-category of algebras over an $N_{\infty}$-operad $\mathcal{O}$ associated to a $G$-indexing system $\mathcal{I}$ and the corresponding…

Given a symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathscr{E}$, compatible with finite colimits, we show that the functor sending a simplicial object in $\mathscr{E}$ to its skeletal filtration is canonically lax symmetric monoidal. This…

We extend the classification results for torsion classes and torsion-free classes in the category of finitely generated modules over a commutative noetherian ring to suitable symmetric monoidal closed noetherian abelian categories. Our main…

We provide a categorical framework for mathematical objects for which there is both a sort of "independent" and "dependent" composition. Namely we model them as duoidal categories in which both monoidal structures share a unit and the first…

We introduce the $\mathcal{T}$-construction, an endofunctor on the category of generalized operads as a general mechanism by which various notions of plethystic substitution arise from more ordinary notions of substitution. In the special…

Motivated by (perturbative) quantum observables in Lorentzian signature we define a new operad: the operad of causally disjoint disks. In order to describe this operad we use the orthogonal categories of Benini, Schenkel, and Woike and the…

Operads were originally defined by May to have right actions of the symmetric groups, but later formulations have also used no groups actions at all or group actions by such families as the braid groups. We call such families action…

We provide a multiplicative classification of polynomial endofunctors on spectra in terms of their Mackey functors of cross--effects. More precisely, we prove that various categories of multivariable excisive functors from spectra to…

A theory of $\infty$-properads is developed, extending both the Joyal-Lurie $\infty$-categories and the Cisinski-Moerdijk-Weiss $\infty$-operads. Every connected wheel-free graph generates a properad, giving rise to the graphical category…

We propose a new unified framework for Thompson-like groups using a well-known device called operads and category theory as language. We discuss examples of operad groups which have appeared in the literature before. As a first application,…

In this paper, we give precise mathematical form to the idea of a structure whose data and axioms are faithfully represented by a graphical calculus; some prominent examples are operads, polycategories, properads, and PROPs. Building on the…

In this paper we show how to modify cofibrations in a monoidal model category so that the tensor unit becomes cofibrant while keeping the same weak equivalences. We obtain aplications to enriched categories and coloured operads in stable…

We introduce a category of locally constant $n$-operads which can be considered as the category of higher braided operads. For $n=1,2,\infty$ the homotopy category of locally constant $n$-operads is equivalent to the homotopy category of…

We compare closed and rigid monoidal categories. Closedness is defined by the tensor product having a right adjoint: the internal hom functor. Rigidity, on the other hand, generalises the duality of finite-dimensional vector spaces. In the…
