This article establishes a bilinear embedding for second-order divergence-form operators with complex coefficients, characterized by the simultaneous presence of first-order terms and negative potentials. This work provides a further…
The classical work of Feferman Vaught gives a powerful, constructive analysis of definability in (generalized) product structures, and certain associated enriched Boolean structures. %structures in terms of definability in the component…
This article introduces Hilbert $*$-categories: an abstraction of categories with similar algebraic and analytic properties to the categories of real, complex, and quaternionic Hilbert spaces and bounded linear maps. Other examples include…
A general notion of a quasi-finite algebra is introduced as an algebra graded by the set of all integers equipped with topologies on the homogeneous subspaces satisfying certain properties. An analogue of the regular bimodule is introduced…
This article is a generalization of a result in Quillen's note ``Module theory over non-unital rings'' giving a one-to-one correspondence between bilocalization of abelian categories of modules and idempotent ideals of the base ring.…
We survey the main results in Jeremy Rickard's seminal papers `Morita theory for derived categories' and `Derived equivalences and derived functors'. These papers catalysed the later development of the Morita theory of (enhanced) compactly…
A commutative ring is reduced when it can be embedded into a direct product of fields. While the category of reduced commutative rings plays a fundamental role in affine geometry, it exhibits several structural deficiencies: it admits…
Given an algebraic theory which can be described by a (possibly symmetric) operad $P$, we propose a definition of the \emph{weakening} (or \emph{categorification}) of the theory, in which equations that hold strictly for $P$-algebras hold…
In the literature on Kleene algebra (KA), a number of variants have been proposed such as Kleene algebra with tests, commutative KA, bi-KA, and concurrent KA. The equational theories of some of these structures have then been studied in the…
We study limits in 2-categories whose objects are categories with extra structure and whose morphisms are functors preserving the structure only up to a coherent comparison map, which may or may not be required to be invertible. This is…
Linearity and ramification constraints have been widely used to weaken higher-order (primitive) recursion in such a way that the class of representable functions equals the class of polytime functions. We show that fine-tuning these two…
We show that Zilber's conjecture that complex exponentiation is isomorphic to his pseudo-exponentiation follows from the a priori simpler conjecture that they are elementarily equivalent. An analysis of the first-order types in…
We show that both the $\infty$-category of $(\infty, \infty)$-categories with inductively defined equivalences, and with coinductively defined equivalences, satisfy universal properties with respect to weak enrichment in the sense of Gepner…
We introduce a notion of a weak elementary fibration and prove that it does exist in certain interesting cases. Our notion is a modification of the M. Artin's notion of an elementary fibration.
We introduce a notion of quasi-weak equivalences associated with weak-equivalences in an exact category. It gives us a delooping for (idempotent complete) exact categories and a condition that the negative $K$-group of an exact category…
We characterize categories with weak finite limits whose regular completions give rise to Goursat categories.
Lawvere showed that generalised metric spaces are categories enriched over $[0, \infty]$, the quantale of the positive extended reals. The statement of enrichment is a quantitative analogue of being a preorder. Towards seeking a logic for…
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…
We find the model completion of the theory modules over $A$, where $A$ is a finitely generated commutative algebra over a field $K$. This is done in a context where the field $K$ and the module are represented by sorts in the theory, so…
In this note we give an elementary demonstration of the fact that AB=I implies BA=I for square matrices A,B with coefficients in a field K. By elementary we mean that our proof follows from the very definitions of matrix and product of a…
