From every pair of adjoint functors it is possible to produce a (possibly trivial) equivalence of categories by restricting to the subcategories where the unit and counit are isomorphisms. If we do this for the adjunction between effect…

Constructions of spectra from symmetric monoidal categories are typically functorial with respect to strict structure-preserving maps, but often the maps of interest are merely lax monoidal. We describe conditions under which one can…

Given an operad $\mathcal{O}$, we define a notion of weak $\mathcal{O}$-monoids -- which we term $\mathcal{O}$-pseudomonoids -- in a 2-category. In the special case with the 2-category in question is the 2-category $\mathsf{Cat}$ of…

In this work, we investigate an effective method for showing that functors between categories are left adjoints. The method applies to a large class of categories, namely locally finitely presentable categories, which are ubiquitous in…

Suppose $G$ is a finite group. In this paper, we construct an equivalence between the $\infty$-category of algebras over an $N_{\infty}$-operad $\mathcal{O}$ associated to a $G$-indexing system $\mathcal{I}$ and the corresponding…

We develop further the theory of monoidal bicategories by introducing and studying bicategorical counterparts of the notions of a linear exponential comonad, as considered in the study of linear logic, and of a codereliction transformation,…

Monoidal functors U:C --> M with left adjoints determine, in a universal way, monoids T in the category of oplax monoidal endofunctors on M. Such monads will be called bimonads. Treating bimonads as abstract "quantum groupoids" we derive…

We show that an $\infty$-category $\mathcal{M}$ with a closed left action of a monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathcal{V}$ is completely determined by the $\mathcal{V}$-valued graph of morphism objects equipped with the structure of a…

We lift the standard equivalence between fibrations and indexed categories to an equivalence between monoidal fibrations and monoidal indexed categories, namely weak monoidal pseudofunctors to the 2-category of categories. In doing so, we…

We show that any functor between $\infty$-categories can be straightened. More precisely, we show that for any $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$, there is an equivalence between the $\infty$-category $(\mathrm{Cat}_{\infty})_{/\mathcal{C}}$…

For a discrete colored operad $P$, we construct an adjunction between the category of dendroidal sets over the nerve of $P$ and the category of simplicial $P$-algebras, and prove that when $P$ is $\Sigma$-free it establishes a Quillen…

Let $\Bbbk$ be a commutative ring and $I$ a category. As a generalization of a $\Bbbk$-category with a (pseudo) action of a group we consider a family of $\Bbbk$-categories with a (pseudo, lax, or oplax) action of $I$, namely an oplax…

We prove that a lax $\mathbb{E}_{n+1}$-monoidal functor from $\mathcal V$ to $\mathcal W$ induces a lax $\mathbb{E}_n$-monoidal functor from $\mathcal V$-enriched $\infty$-categories to $\mathcal W$-enriched $\infty$-categories in the sense…

Cosheaves are a dual notion of sheaves. In this paper, we prove existence of a dual of sheafifications, called \textit{cosheafifications}, in the $\infty$-category theory. We also prove that the $\infty$-category of $\infty$-cosheaves is…

Symmetric monoidal closed categories may be related to one another not only by the functors between them but also by enrichment of one in another, and it was known to G. M. Kelly in the 1960s that there is a very close connection between…
