In this paper we extend the concept of dinaturality to the setting of double categories. We introduce the dinatural versions of double-categorical transformations and modifications, and show that ordinary natural transformations and…
One goal of applied category theory is to understand open systems. We compare two ways of describing open systems as cospans equipped with extra data. First, given a functor $L \colon \mathsf{A} \to \mathsf{X}$, a "structured cospan" is a…
One of the open problems in higher category theory is the systematic construction of the higher dimensional analogues of the Gray tensor product. In this paper we continue the work of [7] to adapt the machinery of globular operads [4] to…
We develop a general theory of (extended) inner autoequivalences of objects of any 2-category, generalizing the theory of isotropy groups to the 2-categorical setting. We show how dense subcategories let one compute isotropy in the presence…
For a differential graded k-quiver Q we define the free A-infinity-category FQ generated by Q. The main result is that for an arbitrary A-infinity-category A the restriction A-infinity-functor A_\infty(FQ,A) -> A_1(Q,A) is an equivalence,…
We study convergent (terminating and confluent) presentations of n-categories. Using the notion of polygraph (or computad), we introduce the homotopical property of finite derivation type for n-categories, generalizing the one introduced by…
We construct an internal language for cartesian closed bicategories. Precisely, we introduce a type theory modelling the structure of a cartesian closed bicategory and show that its syntactic model satisfies an appropriate universal…
We develop a number of basic concepts in the theory of categories internal to an $\infty$-topos. We discuss adjunctions, limits and colimits as well as Kan extensions for internal categories, and we use these results to prove the universal…
Differential categories provide the categorical foundations for the algebraic approaches to differentiation. They have been successful in formalizing various important concepts related to differentiation, such as, in particular,…
The theory of finitary biframes as order-theoretical duals of bitopological spaces is explored. The category of finitary biframes is a coreflective subcategory of that of biframes. Some of the advantages of adopting finitary biframes as a…
We define notions of direct and inverse limits in an $n$-category. We prove that the $n+1$-category $nCAT'$ of fibrant $n$-categories admits direct and inverse limits. At the end we speculate (without proofs) on some applications of the…
The bulk of this paper is devoted to the comparison of several models for the theory of (infinity,2)-categories: that is, higher categories in which all k-morphisms are invertible for k > 2 (the case of (infinity,n)-categories is also…
Applying a general categorical construction for the extension of dualities, we present a new proof of the Fedorchuk duality between the category of compact Hausdorff spaces with their quasi-open mappings and the category of complete normal…
Derivations provide a way of transporting ideas from the calculus of manifolds to algebraic settings where there is no sensible notion of limit. In this paper, we consider derivations in certain monoidal categories, called codifferential…
The affine group schemes of automorphisms of the multilinear r-fold cross products on finite-dimensional vectors spaces over fields of characteristic not two are determined. Gradings by abelian groups on these structures, that correspond to…
For a given category B we are interested in studying internal categorical structures in B. This work is the starting point, where we consider reflexive graphs and precategories (i.e., for the purpose of this note, a simplicial object…
Most often, in a categorical semantics for a programming language, the substitution of terms is expressed by composition and finite products. However this does not deal with the order of evaluation of arguments, which may have major…
We formulate a model-independent theory of co/cartesian morphisms and co/cartesian fibrations: that is, one which resides entirely *within the $\infty$-category of $\infty$-categories*. We prove this is suitably compatible with the…
A (closed) dynamical system is a notion of how things can be, together with a notion of how they may change given how they are. The idea and mathematics of closed dynamical systems has proven incredibly useful in those sciences that can…
We investigate an enriched-categorical approach to a field of discrete mathematics. The main result is a duality theorem between a class of enriched categories (called $\overline{\mathbb{Z}}$- or $\overline{\mathbb{R}}$-categories) and that…
