We establish and advocate for a novel branch of category theory, centered around strong dinatural transformations (herein known as "paranatural transformations"). Paranatural transformations generalize natural transformations to…
Many mathematical objects can be represented as functors from finitely-presented categories $\mathsf{C}$ to $\mathsf{Set}$. For instance, graphs are functors to $\mathsf{Set}$ from the category with two parallel arrows. Such functors are…
We provide conditions on a monoidal model category $\mathcal{M}$ so that the category of commutative monoids in $\mathcal{M}$ inherits a model structure from $\mathcal{M}$ in which a map is a weak equivalence or fibration if and only if it…
For a commutative ring $A$, we have the category of (bounded-below) chain complexes of $A$-modules $Ch_{+}(A\mymod)$, a closed symmetric monoidal category with a compatible stable Quillen model structure. The associated homotopy category is…
The fundamental construction underlying descent theory, the lax descent category, comes with a functor that forgets the descent data. We prove that, in any $2$-category $\mathfrak{A} $ with lax descent objects, the forgetful morphisms…
In this paper we develope a categorical theory of relations and use this formulation to define the notion of quantization for relations. Categories of relations are defined in the context of symmetric monoidal categories. They are shown to…
We initiate the systematic study of modular representations of symmetric groups that arise via the braiding in (symmetric) tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We determine what representations appear for certain…
As an example of the categorical apparatus of pseudo algebras over 2-theories, we show that pseudo algebras over the 2-theory of categories can be viewed as pseudo double categories with folding or as appropriate 2-functors into…
For general finite-dimensional self-injective algebra $A$ we construct a family of injective coassociative coproducts $A\to A\otimes A$, all $A$-bimodule morphisms. In particular such structures always exist, confirming a conjecture of…
We introduce a notion of complexity of diagrams (and in particular of objects and morphisms) in an arbitrary category, as well as a notion of complexity of functors between categories equipped with complexity functions. We discuss several…
We introduce a category-theoreticabstraction of a syntax with auxiliary functions, called an admissiblemonad morphism. Relying on an abstract form of structural recursion,we then design generic tools to construct admissible monad…
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…
We introduce structured decompositions, category-theoretic structures which simultaneously generalize notions from graph theory (including treewidth, layered treewidth, co-treewidth, graph decomposition width, tree independence number,…
The goal of this paper is to prove coherence results with respect to relational graphs for monoidal monads and comonads, i.e. monads and comonads in a monoidal category such that the endofunctor of the monad or comonad is a monoidal functor…
Recently, it has been shown that many functions on sets can be represented by sum decompositions. These decompositons easily lend themselves to neural approximations, extending the applicability of neural nets to set-valued inputs---Deep…
We present a categorical model for intuitionistic linear logic where objects are polynomial diagrams and morphisms are simulation diagrams. The multiplicative structure (tensor product and its adjoint) can be defined in any locally…
The notion of a categorical quotient can be generalized since its standard categorical concept does not recover the expected quotients in certain categories. We present a more general formulation in the form of $\mathcal{F}$-quotients in a…
One relates factorization of bivariate polynomials to singularities of projective plane curves. One proves that adjoint polynomials permit to solve the recombinations of the modular factors induced by the absolute and rational…
This paper concerns the enumeration of isomorphism classes of modules of a polynomial algebra in several variables over a finite field. This is the same as the classification of commuting tuples of matrices over a finite field up to…
We define and study LNL polycategories, which abstract the judgmental structure of classical linear logic with exponentials. Many existing structures can be represented as LNL polycategories, including LNL adjunctions, linear exponential…
