We consider certain categorical structures that are implicit in subfactor theory. Making the connection between subfactor theory (at finite index) and category theory explicit sheds light on both subjects. Furthermore, it allows various…

The theory of abelian categories proved very useful, providing an axiomatic framework for homology and cohomology of modules over a ring and, in particular, of abelian groups. For many years, a similar categorical framework has been lacking…

We introduce a persistent Hochschild homology framework for directed graphs. Hochschild homology groups of (path algebras of) directed graphs vanish in degree $i\geq 2$. To extend them to higher degrees, we introduce the notion of…

A notion of Hochschild cohomology of an abelian category was defined by Lowen and Van den Bergh (2005) and they showed the existence of a characteristic morphism from the Hochschild cohomology into the graded centre of the (bounded) derived…

We construct a category equivalent to the category $\mathbf{Mon}$ of monoids and monoid homomorphisms, based on categories with strict factorization systems. This equivalence is then extended to the category $\mathbf{Mon_s}$ of unital…

We study the Hochschild structure of a smooth space or orbifold, emphasizing the importance of a pairing defined on Hochschild homology which generalizes a similar pairing introduced by Mukai on the cohomology of a K3 surface. We discuss…

The classical trace map is a highly non-trivial map from algebraic K-theory to topological Hochschild homology (or topological cyclic homology) introduced by B\"okstedt, Hsiang and Madsen. It led to many computations of algebraic K-theory…

We develop geometric approach to A-infinity algebras and A-infinity categories based on the notion of formal scheme in the category of graded vector spaces. Geometric approach clarifies several questions, e.g. the notion of homological unit…

We show that every NP problem is polynomially equivalent to a simple combinatorial problem: the membership problem for a special class of digraphs. These classes are defined by means of shadows (projections) and by finitely many forbidden…

This work forms a foundational study of factorization homology, or topological chiral homology, at the generality of stratified spaces with tangential structures. Examples of such factorization homology theories include intersection…

Birkhoff's variety theorem from universal algebra characterises equational subcategories of varieties. We give an analogue of Birkhoff's theorem in the setting of enrichment in categories. For a suitable notion of an equational subcategory…

In this paper we extend to an infinite dimensional setting some results on the shadowing property that are known on finite dimensional compact manifolds without border and in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In fact, we show that if $\{\T(t):t\ge 0\}$ is a…

Given a finite group action on a (suitably enhanced) triangulated category linear over a field, we establish a formula for the Hochschild cohomology of the category of invariants, assuming the order of the group is coprime to the…

In this article we construct a cochain complex of a complex Clifford algebra with coefficients in itself in a combinatorial fashion and we call the corresponding cohomology by {\it Clifford cohomology.} We show that {\it Clifford…

The Lefschetz number and fixed point index can be thought of as two different descriptions of the same invariant. The Lefschetz number is algebraic and defined using homology. The index is defined more directly from the topology and is a…
