We study group graded extensions of fusion 2-categories. As an application, we obtain a homotopy theoretic classification of fermionic strongly fusion 2-categories. We examine various examples in detail.

We prove that the classical result asserting that the relative Picard group of a faithfully flat extension of commutative rings is isomorphic to the first Amitsur cohomology group stills valid in the realm of symmetric monoidal categories.…

In this article we prove analogs of Kawamata's canonical bundle formula, Kawamata subadjunction and plt/lc inversion of adjunction for generalized pairs on Kaehler varieties. We also show that a conjecture of BDPPin dimension n-1 implies…

The category of all monads over many-sorted sets (and over other "set-like" categories) is proved to have coequalizers and strong cointersections. And a general diagram has a colimit whenever all the monads involved preserve monomorphisms…

We present the notion of "cyclic double multicategory", as a structure in which to organise multivariable adjunctions and mates. The classic example of a 2-variable adjunction is the hom/tensor/cotensor trio of functors; we generalise this…

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…

We characterize in terms of bicategories actions of monoidal categories to representation categories of algebras. For that purpose we introduce cocycles in any 2-category $\K$ and the category of Tambara modules over a monad $B$ in $\K$. We…

In this paper, we prove the K- and L-theoretical Isomorphism Conjecture for Baumslag-Solitar groups with coefficients in an additive category.

We demonstrate that companionships and conjunctions in double $\infty$-categories -- and more generally, in double Segal spaces -- extend to functors out of the free-living companionship and conjunction respectively. Specifically, we prove…

We consider the 3-category $2\mathfrak{C}at$ whose objects are 2-categories, 1-morphisms are lax functors, 2-morphisms are lax transformations and 3-morphisms are modifications. The aim is to show that it carries interesting…

In this paper we continue the study of triangular matrix categories $\mathbf{\Lambda}=\left[ \begin{smallmatrix} \mathcal{T} & 0 \\ M & \mathcal{U} \end{smallmatrix}\right]$ initiated in [21]. First, given an additive category $\mathcal{C}$…

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…

We develop the formal theory of monads, as established by Street, in univalent foundations. This allows us to formally reason about various kinds of monads on the right level of abstraction. In particular, we define the bicategory of monads…

Notions of generalized multicategory have been defined in numerous contexts throughout the literature, and include such diverse examples as symmetric multicategories, globular operads, Lawvere theories, and topological spaces. In each case,…

We prove that a pointed category has kernels if and only if it is a lax algebra for the arrow 2-monad, and that this holds if and only if it is the d\'ecalage of a supercoherent structure. We will then interpret categories with kernels as…

We establish a correspondence between modules and spans of algebras within a general monoidal 2-category $\mathfrak{C}$. Specifically, for an algebra $A$ in $\mathfrak{C}$, we construct a normalized lax 3-functor from the 2-category of…

Everyone knows that if you have a bivariant homology theory satisfying a base change formula, you get an representation of a category of correspondences. For theories in which the covariant and contravariant transfer maps are in mutual…

By regarding the classical non abelian cohomology of groups from a 2-dimensional categorical viewpoint, we are led to a non abelian cohomology of groupoids which continues to satisfy classification, interpretation and representation…
