We define a cohomology for an arbitrary $K$-linear semistrict semigroupal 2-category $(\mathfrak{C},\otimes)$ (called in the paper a Gray semigroup) and show that its first order (unitary) deformations, up to the suitable notion of…

We study Quillen model categories equipped with a monoidal skew closed structure that descends to a genuine monoidal closed structure on the homotopy category. Our examples are 2-categorical and include permutative categories and…

In this work, we prove a generalization of Quillen's Theorem A to 2-categories equipped with a special set of morphisms which we think of as weak equivalences, providing sufficient conditions for a 2-functor to induce an equivalence on…

We develop a general theory of partial morphisms in additive exact categories which extends the model theoretic notion introduced by Ziegler in the particular case of pure-exact sequences in the category of modules over a ring. We relate…

We use a hocolim approach to the Isomorphism Conjecture in K-Theory to analyze the case of groups of the form $G\rtimes Z$ and $G_1*_{G}G_2$. As an important corollary we prove that the isomorphism conjecture in K-Theory holds for a…

Let $\widehat{\mathcal{G}}^{(\lambda)}$ be a formal group scheme which deforms $\widehat{\mathbb{G}}_a$ to $\widehat{\mathbb{G}}_m$. And let $\psi^{(l)}:\widehat{\mathcal{G}}^{(\lambda)}\rightarrow\widehat{\mathcal{G}}^{(\lambda^{p^l})}$ be…

We study homomorphisms of Hecke monoids, notably parabolic homomorphisms, which map parabolic elements to parabolic elements, and injective ones. The importance of the first class stems from the fact that parabolic elements form a rather…

This is an expository account of the following result: we can construct a group by means of twisted Z_2-graded vectorial bundles which is isomorphic to K-theory twisted by any degree three integral cohomology class.

Skew-monoidal categories arise when the associator and the left and right units of a monoidal category are, in a specific way, not invertible. We prove that the closed skew-monoidal structures on the category of right R-modules are…

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 prove a generalization of a theorem of Bunge and Gray about forming colax adjunctions out of relative Kan extensions and apply it to the study of the Kleisli 2-category for a lax-idempotent pseudomonad. For instance, we establish the…

We prove the $r$-spin cobordism hypothesis in the setting of (weak) 2-categories for every positive integer $r$: The 2-groupoid of 2-dimensional fully extended $r$-spin TQFTs with given target is equivalent to the homotopy fixed points of…

We approach Mackenzie's LA-groupoids from a supergeometric point of view by introducing Q-groupoids, which are groupoid objects in the category of Q-manifolds. There is a faithful functor from the category of LA-groupoids to the category of…

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…

Working over an arbitrary field, we define compact semisimple 2-categories, and show that every compact semisimple 2-category is equivalent to the 2-category of separable module 1-categories over a finite semisimple tensor 1-category. Then,…

We establish a Dwyer-Kan equivalence of relative categories of combinatorial model categories, presentable quasicategories, and other models for locally presentable (infinity,1)-categories. This implies that the underlying quasicategories…

It is well known that the underlying simplicial set of any simplicial group is a Kan complex. Roughly speaking, Kan complex is an infinite-dimensional analogue of groupoid, and the relation between groupoids and categories resembles that…

This paper is a contribution towards a two dimensional extension of the basic ideas and results of Janelidze-Galois theory. In the present paper, we give a suitable counterpart notion to that of \textit{absolute admissible Galois structure}…

We prove coherence theorems for bicategories, pseudofunctors and pseudonatural transformations. These theorems boil down to proving the coherence of some free $(4,2)$-categories. In the case of bicategories and pseudofunctors, existing…

We prove a general theorem which includes most notions of "exact completion". The theorem is that "k-ary exact categories" are a reflective sub-2-category of "k-ary sites", for any regular cardinal k. A k-ary exact category is an exact…
