This thesis provides an introduction to the various category theory ideas employed in topological quantum field theory. These theories are viewed as symmetric monoidal functors from topological cobordism categories into the category of…

We describe a finitary 2-monad on a locally finitely presentable 2-category for which not every pseudoalgebra is equivalent to a strict one. This shows that having rank is not a sufficient condition on a 2-monad for every pseudoalgebra to…

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…

Given a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$, we show that a frequently satisfied finiteness condition for the category ${\cal P}^{\infty}(\Lambda\rm{-mod})$ of all finitely generated (left) $\Lambda$-modules of finite projective dimension,…

We show that the grading of fields by conformal weight, when built into the initial group symmetry, provides a discrete, non-central conformal extension of any group containing dilatations. We find a faithful vector representation of the…

We prove that the category of McKinsey-Tarski algebras is not equivalent to a variety of algebras, thus answering a question of Peter Jipsen in the negative. More generally, we show that various categories of BAOs (boolean algebras with an…

Universal algebra uniformly captures various algebraic structures, by expressing them as equational theories or abstract clones. The ubiquity of algebraic structures in mathematics and related fields has given rise to several variants of…

This paper provides an extensive study of the homotopy theory of types of algebras with units, like unital associative algebras or unital commutative algebras for instance. To this purpose, we endow the Koszul dual category of curved…

We argue that the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes in fully compactified theories (at least in supersymmetric cases) leads to a bottom-up prediction for the existence of non-trivial dualities. In particular, finiteness requires the…

We define generalized bialgebras and Hopf algebras and on this basis we introduce quantum categories and quantum groupoids. The quantization of the category of linear (super)spaces is constructed. We establish a criterion for the classical…

Conformal algebras, recently introduced by Kac, encode an axiomatic description of the singular part of the operator product expansion in conformal field theory. The objective of this paper is to develop the theory of ``multi-dimensional''…

Every fusion category C that is k-linear over a suitable field k, is the category of finite-dimensional comodules of a Weak Hopf Algebra H. This Weak Hopf Algebra is finite-dimensional, cosemisimple and has commutative bases. It arises as…

We classify fields having finitely many finite non-commutative (not necessarily central) division algebras over them. In the process, we introduce the notion of anti-closure of a field and also make comments on fields having a linear…

The paper is in essence a survey of categories having $\phi$-weighted colimits for all the weights $\phi$ in some class $\Phi$. We introduce the class $\Phi^+$ of {\em $\Phi$-flat} weights which are those $\psi$ for which $\psi$-colimits…

Given a ring $R$, we have a classical result stating that the ordinary category of modules is the abelianization of the category of augmented $R$-algebras. Analogously, using the framework of infinity categories and higher algebra, Francis…

Usually when we have polyadic-like algebras, meaning that we have infinitary substitutions (that is substitutions moving infinitely many points) in the similarity type, then we get the superamalgamation property especially if this class of…

We characterize the families of bialgebras or Hopf algebras over fields for which the product in the corresponding category is finite-dimensional, answering a question of M. Lorenz: if the ground field is infinite then bialgebra or Hopf…

A coset relation algebra is one embeddable into some full coset relation algebra, the latter is an algebra constructed from a system of groups, a coordinated system of isomorphisms between quotients of these groups, and a system of cosets…

By a theorem due to the first author, the bounded derived category of a finite-dimensional algebra over a field embeds fully faithfully into the stable category over its repetitive algebra. This embedding is an equivalence iff the algebra…

This article supplements recent work of the authors. (1) A criterion for failure of covariant finiteness of a full subcategory of $\Lambda\text{-mod}$ is given, where $\Lambda$ is a finite dimensional algebra. The criterion is applied to…
