In strictly factorisable operadic categories, every morphism $f$ factors uniquely as $f=\eta_f \circ \pi_f$ where $\eta_f$ is order-preserving and $\pi_f$ is a quasi\-bijection that is order-preserving on the fibres of $\eta_f$. We call it…

In this paper we prove a few propositions concerning factorizations of morphisms in pro categories, the most important of which solves an open problem of Isaksen concerning the existence of certain types of functorial factorizations. On our…

We study categories of matrix factorizations. These categories are defined for any regular function on a suitable regular scheme. Our paper has two parts. In the first part we develop the foundations; for example we discuss derived direct…

We introduce extriangulated factorization systems in extriangulated categories and show that there exists a bijection between $s$-torsion pairs and extriangulated factorization systems. We also consider the gluing of $s$-torsion pairs and…

We study four types of (co)cartesian fibrations of $\infty$-bicategories over a given base $\mathcal{B}$, and prove that they encode the four variance flavors of $\mathcal{B}$-indexed diagrams of $\infty$-categories. We then use this…

We prove that a (lax) bilimit of a 2-functor is characterized by the existence of a limiting contraction in the 2-category of (lax) cones over the diagram. We also investigate the notion of bifinal object and prove that a (lax) bilimit is a…

We compare the colimit and 2-colimit of strict 2-functors in the 2-category of groupoids, over a certain type of posets. These posets are of special importance, as they correspond to coverings of a topological space. The main result of this…

We study effective descent $ \mathcal V $-functors for cartesian monoidal categories $ \mathcal V $ with finite limits. This study is carried out via the properties enjoyed by the $2$-functor $ \mathcal V \mapsto \mathsf{Fam}(\mathcal V) $,…

In the present work, we investigate the extension of double factorization systems to the categories of Eilenberg-Moore (co)algebras. We show that the double factorization systems $(\texttt{ExEpi},\texttt{Bim},\texttt{ExMono})$ in the…

We define a notion of category enriched over an oplax monoidal category $V$, extending the usual definition of category enriched over a monoidal category. Even though oplax monoidal structures involve infinitely many functors $V^n\to V$,…

We apply the notion of a full convex subcategory to a wide range of algebras including tilted, quasi-tilted, shod, weakly shod, left and right glued, laura, simply connected, strongly simply connected, left supported, and cluster-tilted. In…

We define the category 2-Cob combinatorially and use this definition to prove the existence of an orthogonal factorization system. In the second half of the paper, we define oriented 1-Cob similarly and define a functor from oriented 1-Cob…

Lifts of categorical diagrams $D\colon\mathsf{J}\to\mathsf{X}$ against discrete opfibrations $\pi\colon\mathsf{E}\to\mathsf{X}$ can be interpreted as presenting solutions to systems of equations. With this interpretation in mind, it is…

It is shown that the reflection 2Cat --> 2Preord of the category of all 2-categories into the category of 2-preorders determines a monotone-light factorization system on 2Cat and that the light morphisms are precisely the 2-functors…
