On construit des foncteurs de formes differentielles generalisees. Ceux-ci, dans le cas d'espaces nilpotents de type fini, determinent le type d'homotopie faible des espaces. Ils sont munis, d'une maniere elementaire et naturelle, de…

The bicategorical point of view provides a natural setting for many concepts in the representation theory of monoidal categories. We show that centers of twisted bimodule categories correspond to categories of 2-dimensional natural…

We show that any functor between $\infty$-categories can be straightened. More precisely, we show that for any $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$, there is an equivalence between the $\infty$-category $(\mathrm{Cat}_{\infty})_{/\mathcal{C}}$…

In this note, we discuss several aspects of the functoriality of universal abelian factorizations associated to representations of quivers into abelian categories. After recalling the general construction of universal abelian…

This paper develops some combinatorics of the lax Gray cylinder on the cells of {\Theta} understood as a full subcategory of the category of strict {\omega}-categories. More, we construct a span relating the Cartesian cylinder, the Gray…

Motivated by the challenge of defining twisted quantum field theories in the context of higher categories, we develop a general framework for lax and oplax transformations and their higher analogs between strong $(\infty, n)$-functors. We…

We prove that the description of cubic functors is a wild problem in the sense of the representation theory. On the contrary, we describe several special classes of such functors (2-divisible, weakly alternative, vector spaces and torsion…

We give an account of lax orthogonal factorisation systems on order-enriched categories. Among them, we define and characterise the KZ-reflective ones, in a way that mirrors the characterisation of reflective orthogonal factorisation…

We will give quiver presentations of the Grothendieck constructions of functors from a small category to the 2-category of $\Bbbk$-categories for a commutative ring $\Bbbk$.

Goodwillie's calculus of homotopy functors associates a tower of polynomial approximations, the Taylor tower, to a functor of topological spaces over a fixed space. We define a new tower, the varying center tower, for functors of categories…

Generalized Cox's construction associates with an algebraic variety a remarkable invariant -- its total coordinate ring, or Cox ring. In this note we give a new proof of factoriality of the Cox ring when the divisor class group of the…

The category of small covariant functors from simplicial sets to simplicial sets supports the projective model structure. In this paper we construct various localizations of the projective model structure and also give a variant for…

We formalize the concept of a centralizer-respecting homomorphism, surjective homomorphisms which are equivariant with respect to taking the centralizer of a subgroup. There is a functor from the category of centralizer-respecting…

We provide bar and cobar constructions as functors acting between various categories of curved operads and curved cooperads. Cobar and bar constructions are adjoint to each other. Given a twisting cochain between a curved augmented cooperad…

In this paper we define a functor-- leveled sub-cohomology. (It bears no relation with the level of elliptic curves). It is based on leveled cycles on a smooth projective variety, and will be expected to reveal a structure in the level.

By the SYZ construction, a mirror pair $(X,\check{X})$ of a complex torus $X$ and a mirror partner $\check{X}$ of the complex torus $X$ is described as the special Lagrangian torus fibrations $X \rightarrow B$ and $\check{X} \rightarrow B$…

Jacob Lurie (arXiv:math/0412266) has shown that for geometric stacks X,Y every cocontinuous tensor functor F : Qcoh(X) -> Qcoh(Y) is the pullback of a morphism Y -> X under the additional assumption that F is tame. In this note we get rid…

In the preceding part (I) of this paper, we showed that for any torsion pair (i.e., $t$-structure without the shift-closedness) in a triangulated category, there is an associated abelian category, which we call the heart. Two extremal cases…
