We study the monoidal structure of the standard strictification functor $\textrm{st}:\mathbf{Bicat} \rightarrow \mathbf{2Cat}$. In doing so, we construct monoidal structures on the 2-category whose objects are bicategories and on the…
We develop layered monoidal theories -- a generalisation of monoidal theories combining formal descriptions of a system at different levels of abstraction. Via their representation as string diagrams, monoidal theories provide a graphical…
We introduce and study Hopf monads on autonomous categories (i.e., monoidal categories with duals). Hopf monads generalize Hopf algebras to a non-braided (and non-linear) setting. Indeed, any monoidal adjunction between autonomous…
Weak bimonoids in duoidal categories are introduced. They provide a common generalization of bimonoids in duoidal categories and of weak bimonoids in braided monoidal categories. Under the assumption that idempotent morphisms in the base…
Monadic second order logic is the expansion of first order logic by quantifiers ranging over unary relations. We study the shared monadic second order theory of finite linear orders, i.e. the pseudofinite monadic second order theory of…
The Catalan simplicial set $\mathbb{C}$ is known to classify skew-monoidal categories in the sense that a map from $\mathbb{C}$ to a suitably defined nerve of $\mathrm{Cat}$ is precisely a skew-monoidal category \cite{Catalan1}. We extend…
We discuss what it means for a symmetric monoidal category to be a module over a commutative semiring category. Each of the categories of (1) cartesian monoidal categories, (2) semiadditive categories, and (3) connective spectra can be…
Small B\'{e}nabou's bicategories and, in particular, Mac Lane's monoidal categories, have well-understood classifying spaces, which give geometric meaning to their cells. This paper contains some contributions to the study of the…
In this paper Hom-Lie algebras, Lie color algebras, Lie superalgebras and other type of generalized Lie algebras are recovered by means of an iterated construction, known as monadic decomposition of functors, which is based on…
Premonoidal categories and Freyd categories provide an encompassing framework for the semantics of call-by-value programming languages. Premonoidal categories are a weakening of monoidal categories in which the interchange law for the…
In this short survey we give a non-technical introduction to some main ideas of the theory of $\infty$-categories, hopefully facilitating the digestion of the foundational work of Joyal and Lurie. Besides the basic $\infty$-categorical…
We explore a proof language for intuitionistic multiplicative additive linear logic, incorporating the sup connective that introduces additive pairs with a probabilistic elimination, and sum and scalar products within the proof-terms. We…
We construct a monoidal version of Lurie's un/straightening equivalence. In more detail, for any symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathbf C$, we endow the $\infty$-category of coCartesian fibrations over $\mathbf C$ with a (naturally…
We give a double categorical version of the recently introduced notion of premonoidal bicategories. We introduce a funny product and a funny type of multicategory on double categories granting them a closed funny monoidal structure. We…
We study monoidal structures on the category of (co)modules over a weak bialgebra. Results due to Nill and Szlach\'anyi are unified and extended to infinite algebras. We discuss the coalgebra structure on the source and target space of a…
Generalized multicategories, also called $T$-monoids, are well known class of mathematical structures, which include diverse set of examples. In this paper we construct a generalization of the adjunction between strict monoidal categories…
Simple optics are defined using actions of monoidal categories. Compound optics arise, for instance, as natural transformations between polynomial functors. Since a monoidal category is a special case of a bicategory, we formulate complex…
Recently, the author and Bob Coecke have introduced a categorical formulation of Quantum Mechanics. In the present paper, we shall use it to open up a novel perspective on No-Cloning. What we shall find, quite unexpectedly, is a link to…
In this paper we describe a general framework for constructing examples of locally linear semistrict monoidal 2-categories covering many examples appearing in link homology theory. The main input datum is a closed foam evaluation formula.…
In this note we study symmetric monoidal functors from a symmetric monoidal 1-category to a cartesian symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category, which are in addition hypersheaves for a certain topology. We prove a symmetric monoidal version of…
