In this paper we construct a symmetric monoidal closed model category of coherently commutative monoidal categories. The main aim of this paper is to establish a Quillen equivalence between a model category of coherently commutative…

Lenses are a well-established structure for modelling bidirectional transformations, such as the interactions between a database and a view of it. Lenses may be symmetric or asymmetric, and may be composed, forming the morphisms of a…

We define a weak bimonad as a monad T on a monoidal category M with the property that the Eilenberg-Moore category M^T is monoidal and the forgetful functor from M^T to M is separable Frobenius. Whenever M is also Cauchy complete, a simple…

Effectful categories have two classes of morphisms: pure morphisms, which form a monoidal category; and effectful morphisms, which can only be combined monoidally with central morphisms (such as the pure ones), forming a premonoidal…

We offer two proofs that categories weakly enriched over symmetric monoidal categories can be strictified to categories enriched in permutative categories. This is a "many 0-cells" version of the strictification of bimonoidal categories to…

We continue our study of semi-strict tricategories in which the only weakness is in vertical composition. We assemble the doubly-degenerate such tricategories into a 2-category, defining weak functors and transformations. We exhibit a…

It is known that monoidal categories have a finite definition, whereas multicategories have an infinite (albeit finitary) definition. Since monoidal categories correspond to representable multicategories, it goes without saying that…

Categories are coreflectively embedded in multicategories via the "discrete cocone" construction, the right adjoint being given by the monoid construction. Furthermore, the adjunction lifts to the "cartesian level": preadditive categories…

The structure of the category of matroids and strong maps is investigated: it has coproducts and equalizers, but not products or coequalizers; there are functors from the categories of graphs and vector spaces, the latter being faithful;…

For any algebra morphism in a monoidal category, we provide sufficient conditions (which are also necessary if the unit is a left tensor generator) for the attached induction functor being semiseparable. Under mild assumptions, we prove…

Every right adjoint functor between presentable $\infty$-categories is shown to decompose canonically as a coreflection, followed by, possibly transfinitely many, monadic functors. Furthermore, the coreflection part is given a presentation…

We define a tensor product for permutative categories and prove a number of key properties. We show that this product makes the 2-category of permutative categories closed symmetric monoidal as a bicategory.

Given an additive equational category with a closed symmetric monoidal structure and a potential dualizing object, we find sufficient conditions that the category of topological objects over that category has a good notion of full…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a category with finite colimits, writing its coproduct $+$, and let $(\mathcal D, \otimes)$ be a braided monoidal category. We describe a method of producing a symmetric monoidal category from a lax braided monoidal…

In this document, we collect a list of categorical structures on the category $\mathbf{Poly}$ of polynomial functors. There is no implied claim that this list is in any way complete. It includes: infinitely many monoidal structures, all but…

Given a monoidal category $\mathscr{C}$ with an object $J$, we construct a monoidal category $\mathscr{C}[J^{\vee}]$ by freely adjoining a right dual $J^{\vee}$ to $J$. We show that the canonical strong monoidal functor $\Omega :…
