In these notes we describe models of globular weak $(\infty,m)$-categories ($m\in\mathbb{N}$) in the Grothendieck style, i.e for each $m\in\mathbb{N}$ we define a globular coherator $\Theta^{\infty}_{\mathbb{M}^m}$ whose set-models are…

In this paper, we consider the model structure on the category of cellular sets originally conjectured by Cisinski and Joyal to give a model for the homotopy theory of weak (\omega)-categories. We demonstrate first that any…

We give an account of model theory in the context of compactly generated triangulated and tensor-triangulated categories ${\cal T}$. We describe pp formulas, pp-types and free realisations in such categories and we prove elimination of…

We prove the first equivalence between a weak non-algebraic model and a semi-strict algebraic model of $(\infty, n)$-categories. This takes the form of a natural semi-strictification, whereby a weak $(\infty, n)$-category is embedded into a…

In an arbitrary Grothendieck category, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the class of $\text{FP}_n$-injective objects to be a torsion class. By doing so, we propose a notion of $n$-hereditary categories. We also define and…

We make strict $n$-categories even stricter by requiring they satisfy higher exchange laws governed by Hadzihasanovic's theory of regular directed complexes. We study the first properties of stricter $n$-categories, in particular, we define…

We show that the category of N-complexes has a Str\om model structure, meaning the weak equivalences are the chain homotopy equivalences. This generalizes the analogous result for the category of chain complexes (N = 2). The trivial objects…

We extend Thomason's homotopy colimit construction in the category of permutative categories to categories of algebras over an arbitrary $\Cat$ operad and analyze its properties. We then use this homotopy colimit to prove that the…

We introduce machinery to allow ``cut-and-paste''-style inductive arguments in the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group. In the past these arguments have been problematic because restricting the Torelli group to subsurfaces gives…

In this paper we present some extensions of the celebrated finite point conformal compactification theorem of Huber \cite{Hu57} for complete open surfaces to general dimensions based on the n-Laplace equations in conformal geometry. We are…

We introduce a dependent type theory whose models are weak {\omega}-categories, generalizing Brunerie's definition of {\omega}-groupoids. Our type theory is based on the definition of {\omega}-categories given by Maltsiniotis, himself…

In this article we extend the theory of lax monoidal structures, also known as multitensors, and the monads on categories of enriched graphs that they give rise to. Our first principal result -- the lifting theorem for multitensors --…

We show that there exists a canonical functor from the category of strict \infty-groupoids to the category of Grothendieck \infty-groupoids and that this functor is fully faithful. As a main ingredient, we prove that free strict…

We construct a left semi-model category of "marked strict $\infty$-categories" for which the fibrant objects are those whose marked arrows satisfy natural closure properties and are weakly invertible. The canonical model structure on strict…

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…

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…

We develop foundations for oriented category theory, an extension of $(\infty,\infty)$-category theory obtained by systematic usage of the Gray tensor product, in order to study lax phenomena in higher category theory. As categorical…

A category is adhesive if it has all pullbacks, all pushouts along monomorphisms, and all exactness conditions between pullbacks and pushouts along monomorphisms which hold in a topos. This condition can be modified by considering only…

We give a framework for comparing on the one hand theories of n-categories that are weakly enriched operadically, and on the other hand n-categories given as algebras for a contractible globular operad. Examples of the former are the…

We show that the tensor product of $\infty$-categories enriched in a suitable monoidal $\infty$-category preserves colimits in each variable, fixing a mistake in an earlier paper of Gepner and the author. We also prove that essentially…
