Bicommutant categories are higher categorical analogs of von Neumann algebras that were recently introduced by the first author. In this article, we prove that every unitary fusion category gives an example of a bicommutant category. This…
We study the structure of the category of representations of $\mathbf{FA}$, the category of finite sets and all maps, mostly working over a field of characteristic zero. This category is not semi-simple and exhibits interesting features. We…
In this paper we will prove that there exists a covariant functor from the category of schemes to the category of graphs. This functor provides a combination between algebraic varieties and combinatorial graphs so that the invariants…
We show that indecomposable exact module categories over the category Rep H of representations of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H are classified by left comodule algebras, H-simple from the right and with trivial coinvariants, up to…
The problem of determining gauge and monoidal equivalence classes of fusion categories is considered from the perspective of geometric invariant theory. It is shown that the gauge (or monoidal) class of a fusion category is determined by…
We present a new algorithm to compute all the chiral polytopes that have a given group $G$ as full automorphism group. This algorithm uses a new set of generators that characterize the group, all of them except one being involutions. It…
To any model category $\mathcal{M}$, we associate a modular model category, a functor of points $\mathcal{M}[-]:$ Cat $\rightarrow$ Cat, that associates to any small category $\mathcal{C}$ a functor category $\mathcal{M}[\mathcal{C}] =…
Integrals for the product of unitary-matrix elements over the U(n) group will be discussed. A group-theoretical formula is available to convert them into a multiple sum, but unfortunately the sums are often tedious to compute. In this…
Category theory provides a means through which many far-ranging fields of mathematics can be related by their similar structure. In a paper by Robinson [2], this interconnectivity afforded by categorical perspectives allowed for the…
Category theory has foundational importance because it provides conceptual lenses to characterize what is important in mathematics. Originally the main lenses were universal mapping properties and natural transformations. In recent decades,…
We describe an algorithm for computing the inner product between a holomorphic modular form and a unary theta function, in order to determine whether the form is orthogonal to unary theta functions without needing a basis of the entire…
We generalize the construction of tensor categories of endomorphisms of a type III factor $M$ associated with a $G$-kernel, from the case of a discrete group $G$ to that of a compact second countable group. Our approach is based on the…
Category is put to work in the non-associative realm in the article. We focus on a typical example of non-associative category. Its objects are octonionic bimodules, morphisms are octonionic para-linear maps, and compositions are…
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a finite tensor category and $\mathcal{M}$ an exact left $\mathcal{C}$-module category. We call $\mathcal{M}$ unimodular if the finite multitensor category ${\sf Rex}_{\mathcal{C}}(\mathcal{M})$ of right exact…
In this paper we show that how the representation theory of subcategories (of the category of modules over an Artin algebra) can be connected to the representation theory of all modules over some algebra. The subcategories dealing with are…
In this survey, we summarize some results in the literature involving the mesh category, which is a combinatorial representation of the category of modules over a finite-dimensional associative algebra. We discuss Riedtmann's well-behaved…
We develop a homotopy theory for additive categories endowed with endofunctors, analogous to the concept of a model structure. We use it to construct the homotopy theory of a Hovey triple (which consists of two compatible complete cotorsion…
In this paper we give a complete classification of unitary fusion categories $\otimes$-generated by an object of dimension $\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$. We show that all such categories arise as certain wreath products of either the Fibonacci…
A combinatorial theory of associative $n$-categories has recently been proposed, with strictly associative and unital composition in all dimensions, and the weak structure arising as a combinatorial notion of homotopy with a natural…
The Schur orthogonality relations are a cornerstone in the representation theory of groups. We utilize a generalization to weak Hopf algebras to provide a new, readily verifiable condition on the skeletal data for deciding whether a given…
