We construct a compact closed category out of any symmetric monoidal category by freely adding adjoints to its objects. The morphisms of the completion are defined as string diagrams annotated by objects and morphisms from the original…
It has long been known that every weak monoidal category A is equivalent via monoidal functors and monoidal natural transformations to a strict monoidal category st(A). We generalise the definition of weak monoidal category to give a…
Given an operad A of topological spaces, we consider A-monads in a topological category C . When A is an A-infinity-operad, any A-monad K : C -> C can be thought of as a monad up to coherent homotopies. We define the completion functor with…
In this paper we provide a detailed construction of an equivalence between the category of Lawvere theories and the category of relative monads on the obvious functor $Jf:F\rightarrow Sets$ where $F$ is the category with the set of objects…
Tensor products are ubiquitous in algebra, topology, logic and category theory. The present paper explores the monoidal structure of the category $\mathcal{V}\hspace{0pt}\mbox{-}\hspace{.5pt}\mathbf{Sup}$ of separated cocomplete enriched…
I describe a generalization of the notion of operadic category due to Batanin and Markl. For each such operadic category I describe a skew monoidal category of collections, such that a monoid in this skew monoidal category is precisely an…
We obtain two related characterizations of discrete quantum groups and discrete quantum groups of Kac type as allegorical group objects in the symmetric monoidal dagger category of quantum sets and relations, of interest to quantum…
We explore an alternative definition of unit in a monoidal category originally due to Saavedra: a Saavedra unit is a cancellative idempotent (in a 1-categorical sense). This notion is more economical than the usual notion in terms of…
We introduce and investigate the category $\mathsf{AtoMon}$ of atomic monoids and atom-preserving monoid homomorphisms, which is a (non-full) subcategory of the usual category of monoids. In particular, we compute all limits and colimits,…
We construct explicitly the weights on the simplicial category so that the colimits and limits of 2-functors with those weights provide the Kleisli objects and the Eilenberg-Moore objects, respectively, in any 2-category.
Generalizing the approach to pseudo monoidal DG-categories as certain colored non-symmetric DG-operads, we introduce a certain relaxed notion of a category enriched in DG-categories. We construct model structures on the category of colored…
For a set $M$ of $m$ elements, we define a decreasing chain of classes of normalized monotone-increasing valuation functions from $2^M$ to $\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$, parameterized by an integer $q \in [2,m]$. For a given $q$, we refer to the…
Quantum K-theory of a smooth projective variety at genus zero is a collection of integers that can be assembled into a generating series $J(Q,q,t)$ that satisfies a system of linear differential equations with respect to $t$ and…
Originally enriched categories were defined over a monoidal category, but it was gradually realized that important examples can only be included when one enriches over more general structures such as bicategories and virtual double…
If $\mathcal{M}$ is a finite abelian category and $\mathbf{T}$ is a linear right exact monad on $\mathcal{M}$, then the category $\mathbf{T}\mbox{-mod}$ of $\mathbf{T}$-modules is a finite abelian category. We give an explicit formula of…
Cartesian differential categories come equipped with a differential combinator which axiomatizes the fundamental properties of the total derivative from differential calculus. The objective of this paper is to understand when the Kleisli…
For an oriented knot $K$, we construct a functor from the category of pointed quandles to the category of quandles in three different ways. We also extend the quandle cocycle invariants of knots by using these quandle-valued invariant of…
For a countable group $G$ we construct a small, idempotent complete, symmetric monoidal, stable $\infty$-category $\mathrm{KK}^{G}_{\mathrm{sep}}$ whose homotopy category recovers the triangulated equivariant Kasparov category of separable…
A type theory is presented that combines (intuitionistic) linear types with type dependency, thus properly generalising both intuitionistic dependent type theory and full linear logic. A syntax and complete categorical semantics are…
In the theory of operads we consider functors of generalized symmetric powers defined by sums of coinvariant modules under actions of symmetric groups. One observes classically that the construction of symmetric functors provides an…
