We study selfadjoint functors acting on categories of finite dimensional modules over finite dimensional algebras with an emphasis on functors satisfying some polynomial relations. Selfadjoint functors satisfying several easy relations, in…

Many kinds of categorical structure require the existence of finite limits, of colimits of some specified type, and of "exactness" conditions between the finite limits and the specified colimits. Some examples are the notions of regular, or…

In this paper we obtain several model structures on {\bf DblCat}, the category of small double categories. Our model structures have three sources. We first transfer across a categorification-nerve adjunction. Secondly, we view double…

We introduce a notion of bimodule in the setting of enriched $\infty$-categories, and use this to construct a double $\infty$-category of enriched $\infty$-categories where the two kinds of 1-morphisms are functors and bimodules. We then…

The bulk of this paper is devoted to the comparison of several models for the theory of (infinity,2)-categories: that is, higher categories in which all k-morphisms are invertible for k > 2 (the case of (infinity,n)-categories is also…

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 exhibit a connection between two constructions of twisted modules for a general vertex operator algebra with respect to inner automorphisms. We also study pseudo-derivations, pseudo-endomorphisms, and twist deformations of ordinary…

In this paper we consider the conditions that need to be satisfied by two families of pseudofunctors with a common codomain for them to be collated into a bifunctor. We observe similarities between these conditions and distributive laws of…

We define a notion of colimit for diagrams in a motivic category indexed by a presheaf of spaces (e.g. an \'etale classifying space), and we study basic properties of this construction. As a case study, we construct the motivic analogs of…

This paper is concerned with developing a 2-dimensional analogue of the notion of an ordinary discrete fibration. A definition is proposed, and it is shown that such discrete 2-fibrations correspond via a 2-equivalence to certain…

We study finitary 2-categories associated to dual projection functors for finite dimensional associative algebras. In the case of path algebras of admissible tree quivers (which includes all Dynkin quivers of type A) we show that the monoid…

This paper introduces two new abstract morphs for two $2$-dimensional shapes. The intermediate shapes gradually reduce the Hausdorff distance to the goal shape and increase the Hausdorff distance to the initial shape. The morphs are…

We apply the theory of weighted bicategorical colimits to study the problem of existence and computation of such colimits of birepresentations of finitary bicategories. The main application of our results is the complete classification of…

Inspired by recent work of Batanin and Berger on the homotopy theory of operads, a general monad-theoretic context for speaking about structures within structures is presented, and the problem of constructing the universal ambient structure…

A detailed proof is given of a theorem describing the centraliser of a transitive permutation group, with applications to automorphism groups of objects in various categories of maps, hypermaps, dessins, polytopes and covering spaces, where…

In functional analysis, approximative properties of an object become precise in its ultrapower. We discuss this idea and its consequences for automorphisms of II_1 factors. Here are some sample results: (1) an automorphism is approximately…

Pseudocolimits are formal gluing constructions that combine objects in a category indexed by a pseudofunctor. When the objects are categories and the domain of the pseudofunctor is small and filtered it has been known since Exppose 6 in…

We apply the cobordism hypothesis with singularities to the case of affine Rozansky--Witten models, providing a construction of extended TQFTs that includes all line and surface defects. On a technical level, this amounts to proving that…

This thesis focuses on topics in 2-category theory: in particular on double categories, pseudomonads and codescent objects. In Chapter 2 we recall all the necessary notions. In Chapter 3 we show that factorization systems can be…

It is known that automorphisms of finite-dimensional bound quiver algebras decompose into inner automorphisms and automorphisms which permute the vertices. In this paper, we show that for string algebras, automorphisms permuting vertices…
