Applying (enriched) categorical structures we define the notion of ordered sheaf on a quantaloid Q, which we call `Q-order'. This requires a theory of semicategories enriched in the quantaloid Q, that admit a suitable Cauchy completion.…
Our subject is that of categories, functors and distributors enriched in a base quantaloid Q. We show how cocomplete Q-categories are precisely those which are tensored and conically cocomplete, or alternatively, those which are tensored,…
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of some of the foundational properties of categories enriched over quantaloids, along with several new results. We demonstrate that the category whose objects are quantaloid-enriched categories…
We thoroughly treat several familiar and less familiar definitions and results concerning categories, functors and distributors enriched in a base quantaloid Q. In analogy with V-category theory we discuss such things as adjoint functors,…
Drawing on well-known results from the theory of canonical extensions and the theory of categories enriched over a quantale, we define canonical extensions of quantale-enriched categories and establish their basic properties.
We characterize injective objects, injective hulls and essential embeddings in the category of symmetric categories enriched in a small, integral and involutive quantaloid. In particular, injective partial metric spaces are precisely…
We construct an exact completion for regular categories enriched in the cartesian closed category $\mathsf{Pos}$ of partially ordered sets and monotone functions by employing a suitable calculus of relations. We then characterize the…
For a small quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, we introduce $\mathcal{M}$-(co)complete $\mathcal{Q}$-categories, i.e., (co)complete $\mathcal{Q}$-categories up to Morita equivalence, as Eilenberg--Moore algebras of the presheaf monad on the category…
We formulate an elementary condition on an involutive quantaloid Q under which there is a distributive law from the Cauchy completion monad over the symmetrisation comonad on the category of Q-enriched categories. For such quantaloids,…
Generalising Nachbin's theory of "topology and order", in this paper we continue the study of quantale-enriched categories equipped with a compact Hausdorff topology. We compare these $\mathcal{V}$-categorical compact Hausdorff spaces with…
We describe a duality for quantale-enriched categories that extends the Lawson duality for continuous dcpos: for any saturated class J of modules that commute with certain weighted limits, and under an appropriate choice of morphisms, the…
This paper has two objectives. The first is to develop the theory of bicategories enriched in a monoidal bicategory -- categorifying the classical theory of categories enriched in a monoidal category -- up to a description of the free…
In fairly elementary terms this paper presents, and expands upon, a recent result by Garner by which the notion of topologicity of a concrete functor is subsumed under the concept of total cocompleteness of enriched category theory.…
We continue the study of enriched infinity categories, using a definition equivalent to that of Gepner and Haugseng. In our approach enriched infinity categories are associative monoids in an especially designed monoidal category of…
Categories enriched over a commutative unital quantale can be studied as generalized, or many-valued, ordered structures. Because many concepts, such as complete distributivity, in lattice theory can be characterized by existence of certain…
For a small quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, a $\mathcal{Q}$-closure space is a small category enriched in $\mathcal{Q}$ equipped with a closure operator on its presheaf category. We investigate $\mathcal{Q}$-closure spaces systematically with…
We develop a theory of categories which are simultaneously (1) indexed over a base category S with finite products, and (2) enriched over an S-indexed monoidal category V. This includes classical enriched categories, indexed and fibered…
For any small quantaloid $\Q$, there is a new quantaloid $\D(\Q)$ of diagonals in $\Q$. If $\Q$ is divisible then so is $\D(\Q)$ (and vice versa), and then it is particularly interesting to compare categories enriched in $\Q$ with…
In this communication, motivated by a classical result that relates cocomplete quantale-enriched categories to modules over a quantale, we prove a similar result for quantale-enriched multicategories.
We enlarge the hom-sets of categories of complete lattices by introducing `state transitions' as generalized morphisms. The obtained category will then be compared with a functorial quantaloidal enrichment and a contextual quantaloidal…
