For a Lie group $G$ and a vector bundle $E$ we study those actions of the Lie group $TG$ on $E$ for which the action map $TG\times E \to E$ is a morphism of vector bundles, and call those \emph{affine actions}. We prove that the category…
This paper uses monads and comonads to establish a certain type of equivalence between two subcategories, one reflective and one coreflective, in a category whose objects represent compactifications of non-compact locally compact Hausdorff…
Consider a diagram of quasi-categories that admit and functors that preserve limits or colimits of a fixed shape. We show that any weighted limit whose weight is a projective cofibrant simplicial functor is again a quasi-category admitting…
We develop and extend the theory of Mackey functors as an application of enriched category theory. We define Mackey functors on a lextensive category $\E$ and investigate the properties of the category of Mackey functors on $\E$. We show…
We consider the terminal monad among those preserving the objects of a subcategory, and in particular preserving the image of a monad. Several common monads are shown to be uniquely characterized by the property of being terminal objects in…
We study a number of categorical quasi-uniform structures induced by functors. We depart from a category $\mathcal{C}$ with a proper $(\mathcal{E}, \mathcal{M})$-factorization system, then define the continuity of a $\mathcal{C}$-morphism…
We prove that for a large class of well-behaved cocomplete categories $\mathcal C$ the weak and strong Drinfeld centers of the monoidal category $\mathcal{E}$ of cocontinuous endofunctors of $\mathcal{C}$ coincide. This generalizes similar…
We introduce Hopf polyads in order to unify Hopf monads and group actions on monoidal categories. A polyad is a lax functor from a small category (its source) to the bicategory of categories, and a Hopf polyad is a comonoidal polyad whose…
In this paper we consider a conilpotent coalgebra $C$ over a field $k$. Let $\Upsilon\colon C\textsf{-Comod}\longrightarrow C^*\textsf{-Mod}$ be the natural functor of inclusion of the category of $C$-comodules into the category of…
We discuss definable compactifications and topological dynamics. For G a group definable in some structure M, we define notions of "definable" compactification of G and "definable" action of G on a compact space X (definable G-flow), where…
We study rank functions on a triangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ via its abelianisation $\operatorname{mod}\mathcal{C}$. We prove that every rank function on $\mathcal{C}$ can be interpreted as an additive function on…
The functor that takes a ring to its category of modules has an adjoint if one remembers the forgetful functor to abelian groups: the endomorphism ring of linear natural transformations. This uses the self-enrichment of the category of…
We demonstrate that categories of continuous actions of topological monoids on discrete spaces are Grothendieck toposes. We exhibit properties of these toposes, giving a solution to the corresponding Morita-equivalence problem. We…
In this paper, we give several equivalent characterizations for a category with finite biproducts and the sum operation of arrows, and called categories satisfying these semiadditive $\mathbf{C}\mathbf{Mon}$-categories. This allow us to…
A notion of central importance in categorical topology is that of topological functor. A faithful functor E -> B is called topological if it admits cartesian liftings of all (possibly large) families of arrows; the basic example is the…
Our work over the past years shows that not only the collection of (for instance) all topological spaces gives rise to a category, but also each topological space can be seen individually as a category by interpreting the convergence…
State monads in cartesian closed categories are those defined by the familiar adjunction between product and exponential. We investigate the structure of their algebras, and show that the exponential functor is monadic provided the base…
Suppose $(\mathcal{C},\mathbb{E},\mathfrak{s})$ is an $n$-exangulated category. We show that the idempotent completion and the weak idempotent completion of $\mathcal{C}$ are again $n$-exangulated categories. Furthermore, we also show that…
We introduce a generalization of monads, called relative monads, allowing for underlying functors between different categories. Examples include finite-dimensional vector spaces, untyped and typed lambda-calculus syntax and indexed…
Monoidal categories enriched in a braided monoidal category $\mathcal{V}$ are classified by braided oplax monoidal functors from $\mathcal{V}$ to the Drinfeld centers of ordinary monoidal categories. In this article, we prove that this…
