We prove that a pair of singularities related by a transformation arising from the McKay correspondence are orbifold equivalent. From this we deduce a new proof of a McKay type equivalence for the matrix factorization categories.

The theory of 2-monads entails that, for a strict monoidal category C, there is a strict monoidal category L(C) such that strict monoidal functors from L(C) are precisely the lax monoidal functors from C. We give an elementary,…

Bidirectional data accessors such as lenses, prisms and traversals are all instances of the same general 'optic' construction. We give a careful account of this construction and show that it extends to a functor from the category of…

Adjunctions of two variables generalize the relationship between tensor product and the internal hom functor in a closed monoidal category. For a pair of ordinary adjunctions $(F\dashv U, F'\dashv U')$ conjugation relates natural…

We introduce a notion of $\Theta$-categories, which is a refinement of the notion of symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories. We use this notion to prove a Tannakian duality statement, relating $\Theta$-categories with fpqc-stacks by means…

We present a method of constructing symmetric monoidal bicategories from symmetric monoidal double categories that satisfy a lifting condition. Such symmetric monoidal double categories frequently occur in nature, so the method is widely…

This paper answeres the question posed by E.Manes in his book "Algebraic theories": given monoids M and N considered as categories with a single object, and a morphism f: M --> N of monoids (considered as functor), such that f has an…

The main result of this paper is the construction of a trace and a trace pairing for endomorphisms satisfying suitable conditions in a monoidal category. This construction is a common generalization of the trace for endomorphisms of…

We show how to "interleave" the monad for operads and the monad for contractions on the category \coll of collections, to construct the monad for the operads-with-contraction of Leinster. We first decompose the adjunction for operads and…

Graduated locally finitely presentable categories are introduced, examples include categories of sets, vector spaces, posets, presheaves and Boolean algebras. A finitary functor between graduated locally finitely presentable categories is…

This is mostly an overview. Given finitely presentable abelian categories $A$ and $B$, we sketch the construction of an abelian category of continuous functors from $A$ to $B$ that has nice $2$-categorical behaviour and gives an explicit…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with unit. This paper deals with various aspects of the category of functors of $\mathcal R$-modules; that is, the category of additive and covariant functors from the category of R-modules to the category of…

Everyone knows that if you have a bivariant homology theory satisfying a base change formula, you get an representation of a category of correspondences. For theories in which the covariant and contravariant transfer maps are in mutual…

Exponentiable functors between quantaloid-enriched categories are characterized in elementary terms. The proof goes as follows: the elementary conditions on a given functor translate into existence statements for certain adjoints that obey…

In a previous paper we introduced the concept of semiseparable functor. Here we continue our study of these functors in connection with idempotent (Cauchy) completion. To this aim, we introduce and investigate the notions of (co)reflection…

Let $R$ be a commutative local ring. We study the subcategory of the homotopy category of $R$-complexes consisting of the totally acyclic $R$-complexes. In particular, in the context where $Q\to R$ is a surjective local ring homomorphism…

Certain results involving "higher structures" are not currently accessible to computer formalization because the prerequisite $\infty$-category theory has not been formalized. To support future work on formalizing $\infty$-category theory…
