It is often stated that Frobenius quantales are necessarily unital. By taking negation as a primitive operation, we can define Frobenius quantales that may not have a unit. We develop the elementary theory of these structures and show, in…
We give a new definition of a Frobenius structure on an algebra object in a monoidal category, generalising Frobenius algebras in the category of vector spaces. Our definition allows Frobenius forms valued in objects other than the unit…
It is argued in (Eklund et al., 2018) that the quantale [L,L] of sup-preserving endomaps of a complete lattice L is a Girard quantale exactly when L is completely distributive. We have argued in (Santocanale, 2020) that this Girard quantale…
Tensor products are ubiquitous in algebra, topology, logic and category theory. The present paper explores the monoidal structure of the category $\mathcal{V}\hspace{0pt}\mbox{-}\hspace{.5pt}\mathbf{Sup}$ of separated cocomplete enriched…
Frobenius monoidal functors preserve duals. We show that conversely, (co)monoidal functors between autonomous categories which preserve duals are Frobenius monoidal. We apply this result to linearly distributive functors between autonomous…
This paper studies Frobenius subalgebra posets in abelian monoidal categories and shows that, under general conditions--satisfied in all semisimple tensor categories over the complex field--they collapse to lattices through a rigidity…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a small category, and suppose that we are given a full subcategory $\mathcal{U}$ such that every object of $\mathcal{S}$ can be embedded into some object of $\mathcal{U}$ in the same way as every quasi-projective…
For a functor $Q$ from a category $C$ to the category $Pos$ of ordered sets and order-preserving functions, we study liftings of various kind of structures from the base category $C$ to the total(or Grothendieck) category $\int Q$. That…
In this paper we explain the relationship between Frobenius objects in monoidal categories and adjunctions in 2-categories. In particular, we show that every Frobenius object in a monoidal category M arises from an ambijunction…
A subunit in a monoidal category is a subobject of the monoidal unit for which a canonical morphism is invertible. They correspond to open subsets of a base topological space in categories such as those of sheaves or Hilbert modules. We…
Suppose given a Frobenius category E, i.e. an exact category with a big enough subcategory B of bijectives. Let_E_ := E/B denote its classical stable category. For example, we may take E to be the category of complexes C(A) with entries in…
We show that there is a model structure in the sense of Quillen on an arbitrary Frobenius category $\F$ such that the homotopy category of this model structure is equivalent to the stable category $\underline{\F}$ as triangulated…
We show that the equivalence between several possible characterizations of Frobenius algebras, and of symmetric Frobenius algebras, carries over from the category of vector spaces to more general monoidal categories. For Frobenius algebras,…
Coherence in a monoidal category asserts that all morphisms built from structural isomorphisms with a fixed source and target coincide. These structural isomorphisms include, in particular, the associators. Linearly distributive categories…
We characterize Frobenius and separable monoidal algebra extensions $i: R\ra S$ in terms given by $R$ and $S$. For instance, under some conditions, we show that the extension is Frobenius, respectively separable, if and only if $S$ is a…
We investigate the triangulated structure of stable monomorphism categories (filtered chain categories) over a Frobenius category. The high degree of symmetry of linear quivers leads to a plethora of semiorthogonal decompositions into…
We study rewriting for equational theories in the context of symmetric monoidal categories where there is a separable Frobenius monoid on each object. These categories, also called hypergraph categories, are increasingly relevant: Frobenius…
Let $(1)$ be an automorphism on an additive category $\mathcal{B}$, and let $\eta\colon (1)\to {\rm Id}_{\mathcal{B}}$ be a natural transformation satisfying $\eta_{X(1)}=\eta_X(1)$ for any object $X$ in $\mathcal{B}$. We construct a new…
An affine monoid is an additive monoid which is cancellative, pointed and finitely generated. An affine monoid $\Lambda$ has the partial order defined by $\lambda \le \lambda + \mu$. The Frobenius complex is the order complex of an open…
Entwined modules over cowreaths in a monoidal category are introduced. They can be identified to coalgebras in an appropriate monoidal category. It is investigated when such coalgebras are Frobenius (resp. separable), and when the forgetful…
