In this paper we give a new foundational, categorical formulation for operations and relations and objects parameterizing them. This generalizes and unifies the theory of operads and all their cousins including but not limited to PROPs,…
In this paper we initiate the study of racks from the combined perspective of combinatorics and finite group theory. A rack R is a set with a self-distributive binary operation. We study the combinatorics of the partially ordered set {\cal…
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…
Recently P. Deligne introduced the tensor category Rep(S_t) (for t not necessarily an integer) which in a certain precise sense interpolates the categories Rep(S_d) of representations of the symmetric groups S_d. In this paper we describe…
Category theory provides a means through which many far-ranging fields of mathematics can be related by their similar structure. In a paper by Robinson [2], this interconnectivity afforded by categorical perspectives allowed for the…
In this paper, we propose an axiomatic definition for a tensor product categorification. A tensor product categorification is an abelian category with a categorical action of a Kac-Moody algebra g in the sense of Rouquier or Khovanov-Lauda…
This paper gives a rather concrete description of the category Rep(G) for certain flat commutative affine group schemes G over a discrete valuation ring such that the general fiber of G is the multiplicative group.
We use a $K$-theory recipe of Thomason to obtain classifications of triangulated subcategories via refining some standard thick subcategory theorems. We apply this recipe to the full subcategories of finite objects in the derived categories…
We consider the abelian group $PT$ generated by quasi-equivalence classes of pretriangulated DG categories with relations coming from semi-orthogonal decompositions of corresponding triangulated categories. We introduce an operation of…
A general construction of Knop creates a symmetric monoidal category $\mathcal{T}(\mathcal{A},\delta)$ from any regular category $\mathcal{A}$ and a fixed degree function $\delta$. A special case of this construction are the Deligne…
The principle of tannakian duality states that any neutral tannakian category is tensorially equivalent to the category Rep_k G of finite dimensional representations of some affine group scheme G and field k, and conversely. Originally…
Considering classical first-order logic with equality, we give a "fully syntactic" construction of the (weak) syntactic category $\text{Syn}(T)$ associated to a consistent theory $T$; we show it is a consistent coherent category; and we…
In this paper, we explore the derived McKay correspondence for several reflection groups, namely reflection groups of rank two generated by reflections of order two. We prove that for each of the reflection groups $G=G(2m,m,2)$, $G_{12}$,…
Let $\Gamma$ be a totally ordered group. We use Hahn's embedding theorem to construct a totally ordered set $\Gamma\subset \Gamma_{\operatorname{sme}}$ which classifies small extensions of $\Gamma$. This small-extensions closure…
We start with a small paradigm shift about group representations, namely the observation that restriction to a subgroup can be understood as an extension-of-scalars. We deduce that, given a group $G$, the derived and the stable categories…
Let $\mathbf{C}$ be a Cauchy-complete category. The subtoposes of $[\mathbf{C}^{\mathrm{op}},\mathbf{Set}]$ are sometimes all of the form $[\mathbf{D}^{\mathrm{op}},\mathbf{Set}]$ where $\mathbf{D}$ is a full subcategory of $\mathbf{C}$.…
A sequence $s_1,s_2,\ldots, s_k$ of elements of a group $G$ is called a valid ordering if the partial products $s_1, s_1 s_2, \ldots, s_1\cdots s_k$ are all distinct. A long-standing problem in combinatorial group theory asks whether, for a…
Let $G$ be a finite group. By a sequence over $G$, we mean a finite unordered string of terms from $G$ with repetition allowed, and we say that it is a product-one sequence if its terms can be ordered so that their product is the identity…
Given a second-order, holomorphic, linear differential equation $Lf=0$ on a punctured Riemann surface, we say that its monodromy group $G\subset\operatorname{GL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ is `unitary' if it preserves a non-degenerate Hermitian form…
We construct an abelian category C and exact functors in C which on the Grothendieck group descend to the action of a simply-laced quantum group in its adjoint representation. The braid group action in the adjoint representation lifts to an…
