Some aspects of basic category theory are developed in a finitely complete category $\C$, endowed with two factorization systems which determine the same discrete objects and are linked by a simple reciprocal stability law. Resting on this…

We introduce, comment and develop the Scott adjunction, mostly from the point of view of a category theorist. Besides its technical and conceptual aspects, in a nutshell we provide a categorification of the Scott topology over a posets with…

Given a poset $P$, the set, $\Gamma(P)$, of all Scott closed sets ordered by inclusion forms a complete lattice. A subcategory $\mathbf{C}$ of $\mathbf{Pos}_d$ (the category of posets and Scott-continuous maps) is said to be…

Directed spaces are natural topological extensions of dcpos in domain theory and form a cartesian closed category. In order to model nondeterministic semantics, the power structures over directed spaces were defined through the form of free…

Over the past two decades several different approaches to defining a geometry over ${\mathbb F}_1$ have been proposed. In this paper, relying on To\"en and Vaqui\'e's formalism, we investigate a new category…

Using the Feferman-Vaught Theorem, we prove that a definable subset of a product structure must be a Boolean combination of open sets, in the product topology induced by giving each factor structure the discrete topology. We prove a…

In this work we shall introduce a new model structure on the category of pro-simplicial sheaves, which is very convenient for the study of \'etale homotopy. Using this model structure we define a pro-space associated to a topos, as a result…

We develop a constructive theory of continuous domains from the perspective of program extraction. Our goal that programs represent (provably correct) computation without witnesses of correctness is achieved by formulating correctness…

We give a sharper version of a theorem of Rosicky, Trnkova and Adamek, and a new proof of a theorem of Rosicky, both about colimit preservation between categories of structures. Unlike the original proofs, which use category-theoretic…

Powerdomains in domain theory plays an important role in modeling the semantics of nondeterministic functional programming languages.\ In this paper,\ we extend the notion of powerdomain to the category of directed spaces,\ which is…

In this short note, we classify linear categorified open topological field theories in dimension two by pivotal Grothendieck-Verdier categories, a type of monoidal category equipped with a weak, not necessarily rigid duality. In combination…

This paper is an extended version of our proceedings paper announced at LICS'16; in order to complement it, this version is written from a different viewpoint including topos-theoretic aspect on our work. Technically, this paper introduces…

Higher Homotopy van Kampen Theorems allow the computation as colimits of certain homotopical invariants of glued spaces. One corollary is to describe homotopical excision in critical dimensions in terms of induced modules and crossed…

In this expository paper we explain in detail how to construct bicategorical colimits of several kinds of tensor categories, for example essentially small finitely cocomplete K-linear tensor categories. The constructions are direct and…

We give a constructive proof for the following new collar theorem: every locally collared closed set that is paracompact in a Hausdorff space is collared. This includes the important special case of locally collared closed sets in…

We generalise the concepts introduced by Baez and Dolan to define opetopes constructed from symmetric operads with a category, rather than a set, of objects. We describe the category of 1-level generalised multicategories, a special case of…
