A tensor extriangulated category is an extriangulated category with a symmetric monoidal structure that is compatible with the extriangulated structure. To this end we define a notion of a biextriangulated functor $\mathcal{A} \times…
In this thesis, we develop the theory of bifibrations of polycategories. We start by studying how to express certain categorical structures as universal properties by generalising the shape of morphism. We call this phenomenon…
In this article, we solve the strong openness conjecture on the multiplier ideal sheaves for the plurisubharmonic functions posed by Demailly. We prove two conjectures about the growth of the volumes of the sublevel sets of plurisubharmonic…
Modular invariance is known to constrain the spectrum of 2d conformal field theories. We investigate this constraint systematically, using the linear functional method to put new improved upper bounds on the lowest gap in the spectrum. We…
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…
We compare the bicategory of spans with that of bisets (a.k.a. bimodules, distributors, profunctors) in the context of finite groupoids. We construct in particular a well-behaved pseudo-functor from spans to bisets. This yields an…
The "Modularity Conjecture" is the assertion that the join of two nonmodular varieties is nonmodular. We establish the veracity of this conjecture for the case of linear idempotent varieties. We also establish analogous results concerning…
Some fixed point results are given for a class of functional contractions acting on (reflexive) triangular symmetric spaces. Technical connections with the corresponding theories over (standard) metric and partial metric spaces are also…
We show how the categorial approach to inverse monoids can be described as a certain endofunctor (which we call the partialization functor) of some category. In this paper we show that this functor can be used to obtain several recently…
We compute the homology of the space of equivariant loops on the classifying space of a simplicial monoid $M$ with anti-involution, provided $\pi_0 (M)$ is central in the homology ring of $M$. The proof is similar to McDuff and Segal's…
We show that the complete bornological convolution algebras of Lie groupoids and convolution bimodules of groupoid bibundles define a monoidal functor from the 2-category of differentiable stacks to the Morita 2-category of complete…
We give sufficient conditions which ensure that a functor of finite length from an additive category to finite-dimensional vector spaces has a projective resolution whose terms are finitely generated. For polynomial functors, we study also…
The structure of the category of matroids and strong maps is investigated: it has coproducts and equalizers, but not products or coequalizers; there are functors from the categories of graphs and vector spaces, the latter being faithful;…
An extension $B\subset A$ of finite dimensional algebras is bounded if the $B$-$B$-bimodule $A/B$ is $B$-tensor nilpotent, its projective dimension is finite and $\mathrm{Tor}_i^B(A/B, (A/B)^{\otimes_B j})=0$ for all $i, j\geq 1$. We show…
In a recent paper, Hauenstein, Sturmfels, and the second author discovered a conjectural bijection between critical points of the likelihood function on the complex variety of matrices of rank r and critical points on the complex variety of…
The notion of reparametrization category is incorrectly axiomatized and it must be adjusted. It is proved that for a general reparametrization category $\mathcal{P}$, the tensor product of $\mathcal{P}$-spaces yields a biclosed semimonoidal…
We develop a theory of adjunctions in semigroup categories, i.e. monoidal categories without a unit object. We show that a rigid semigroup category is promonoidal, and thus one can naturally adjoin a unit object to it. This extends the…
We show that for various natural classes of groups and appropriately defined K- and L-theoretic functors, injectivity or bijectivity of the assembly map follows from the Isomorphism Conjecture being true for acyclic groups lying within that…
The central object studied in this paper is a multiplier bimonoid in a braided monoidal category C. Adapting the philosophy of Janssen and Vercruysse, and making some mild assumptions on the category C, we consider a category M whose…
We compare derived categories of the category of strict polynomial functors over a finite field and the category of ordinary endofunctors on the category of vector spaces. We introduce two intermediate categories: the category of…
