Let $\mathcal C$ be a category with finite colimits, writing its coproduct $+$, and let $(\mathcal D, \otimes)$ be a braided monoidal category. We describe a method of producing a symmetric monoidal category from a lax braided monoidal…

In this article we investigate which categorical structures of a category C are inherited by its arrow category. In particular, we show that a monoidal equivalence between two categories gives rise to a monoidal equivalence between their…

We develop a categorical approach to quivers and their modules. Naturally this leads to a notion of an action of a monoidal category on quivers. Using this, we construct for a large class of quivers rigid monoidal structures on their…

We show that the obstruction to the existence of a strict symmetric monoidal structure on a monoidal stack $\cal C$ is determined by a commutator biextension associated to $\cal C$, and that this biextension is alternating under an…

The category of strict polynomial functors inherits an internal tensor product from the category of divided powers. To investigate this monoidal structure, we consider the category of representations of the symmetric group which admits a…

We present an expository overview of the monoidal structures in the category of linearly compact vector spaces. Bimonoids in this category are the natural duals of infinite-dimensional bialgebras. We classify the relations on words whose…

In this chapter we survey some particular topics in category theory in a somewhat unconventional manner. Our main focus will be on monoidal categories, mostly symmetric ones, for which we propose a physical interpretation. These are…

We study cocompleteness, co-wellpoweredness and generators in the centralizer category of an object or morphism in a monoidal category, and the center or the weak center of a monoidal category. We explicitly give some answers for when…

In this paper, we state and prove precise theorems on the classification of the category of (braided) categorical groups and their (braided) monoidal functors, and some applications obtained from the basic studies on monoidal functors…

Univalent categories constitute a well-behaved and useful notion of category in univalent foundations. The notion of univalence has subsequently been generalized to bicategories and other structures in (higher) category theory. Here, we…

Every right adjoint functor between presentable $\infty$-categories is shown to decompose canonically as a coreflection, followed by, possibly transfinitely many, monadic functors. Furthermore, the coreflection part is given a presentation…

We give a description of unital operads in a symmetric monoidal category as monoids in a monoidal category of unital $\Lambda$-sequences. This is a new variant of Kelly's old description of operads as monoids in the monoidal category of…

We define $A_{\infty}$-structures -- algebras, coalgebras, modules, and comodules -- in an arbitrary monoidal DG category or bicategory by rewriting their definitions in terms of unbounded twisted complexes. We develop new notions of strong…

Categories, n-categories, double categories, and multicategories (among others) all have similar definitions as collections of cells with composition operations. We give an explicit description of the information required to define any…

We prove the theorem stated in the title. More precisely, we show the stronger statement that every symmetric monoidal left adjoint functor between presentably symmetric monoidal infinity-categories is represented by a strong symmetric…

This paper introduces an inherently strict presentation of categories with products, coproducts, or symmetric monoidal products that is inspired by file systems and directories. Rather than using nested binary tuples to combine objects or…

Based on the monoid classifier, we give an alternative axiomatization of Freyd's paracategories, which can be interpreted in any bicategory of partial maps. Assuming furthermore a free-monoid monad T in our ambient category, and…

We study the monoidal structure of the standard strictification functor $\textrm{st}:\mathbf{Bicat} \rightarrow \mathbf{2Cat}$. In doing so, we construct monoidal structures on the 2-category whose objects are bicategories and on the…

A classification is provided of functors, in particular polynomial ones, from a category with a zero object in which every object is a finite sum of copies of a generating object, into an abelian category. This classification is extended to…

If $\mathcal{C}$ is a cocomplete monoidal category in which tensoring from both sides preserves coequalizers, then the category of monoids over $\mathcal{C}$ is cocomplete. The same holds if $\mathcal{C}$ has regular factorizations and…
