We classify semisimple module categories over the tensor category of representations of quantum SL(2) extending previous results to the roots of unity and positive characteristic cases.

We show the existence of a semisimple replete subcategory of Khovanov's Heisenberg category that retains the isomorphism data of objects for the full category. This leads to a noncommutative tensor-triangular geometric example of a monoidal…

We develop some foundations of commutative algebra, with a view towards algebraic geometry, in symmetric tensor categories. Most results establish analogues of classical theorems, in tensor categories which admit a tensor functor to some…

We generalize the small object argument in order to allow for its application to proper classes of maps (as opposed to sets of maps in Quillen's small object argument). The necessity of such a generalization arose with appearance of several…

In this paper we introduce the notion of admissible skein modules associated to an ideal in a pivotal category. We explain how these modules are generalizations of the Kauffman skein algebra and how they relate to renormalized quantum…

Representations of small quantum groups $u_q({\mathfrak{g}})$ at a root of unity and their extensions provide interesting tensor categories, that appear in different areas of algebra and mathematical physics. There is an ansatz by Lusztig…

We apply the mechanism of factorization homology to construct and compute category-valued two-dimensional topological field theories associated to braided tensor categories, generalizing the $(0,1,2)$-dimensional part of…

In this paper, we classify several subcategories of the category of coherent sheaves on a noetherian divisorial scheme (e.g. a quasi-projective scheme over a commutative noetherian ring). More precisely, we classify the torsionfree (resp.…

We construct a family of 3d quantum field theories $\mathcal T_{n,k}^A$ that conjecturally provide a physical realization -- and derived generalization -- of non-semisimple mathematical TQFT's based on the modules for the quantum group…

The inclusion of the unit in a braided tensor category $\mathcal{V}$ induces a 1-morphism in the Morita 4-category of braided tensor categories $BrTens$. We give criteria for the dualizability of this morphism. When $\mathcal{V}$ is a…

This work studies $t$-structures for the derived category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a quasi-compact quasi-separated algebraic stack. Specifically, using Thomason filtrations, we classify those $t$-structures which are generated by…

We present general techniques for constructing functorial factorizations appropriate for model structures that are not known to be cofibrantly generated. Our methods use "algebraic" characterizations of fibrations to produce factorizations…

In this paper, we use skein-theoretic techniques to classify all virtual knot polynomials and trivalent graph invariants with certain smallness conditions. The first half of the paper classifies all virtual knot polynomials giving…

This paper develops an approach to categorical deformation quantization via factorization homology. We show that a quantization of the local coefficients for factorization homology is equivalent to consistent quantizations of its value on…

Precategories generalize both the notions of strict $n$-category and sesquicategory: their definition is essentially the same as the one of strict $n$-categories, excepting that we do not require the various interchange laws to hold. Those…

We construct extended TQFTs associated to Rozansky--Witten models with target manifolds $T^*\mathbb{C}^n$. The starting point of the construction is the 3-category whose objects are such Rozansky--Witten models, and whose morphisms are…

We show that a compact rigid balanced braided monoidal category with enough compact projective objects gives rise to a system of mapping class group representations compatible with the gluing along marked intervals. A motivation to consider…

We prove that, given the Balmer spectrum of any essentially small monoidal-triangulated category, one has a classification of semiprime thick tensor-ideals arising in terms of a "pseudo-Hochster-dual" of the noncommutative Balmer spectrum.…
