This is a companion overview paper to arXiv:2409.17489: we give all the main definitions, constructions and statements, but no proofs.
If D is a category and k is a commutative ring, the functors from D to k-Mod can be thought of as representations of D. By definition, D is dimension zero over k if its finitely generated representations have finite length. We characterize…
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,…
Certain results involving "higher structures" are not currently accessible to computer formalization because the prerequisite $\infty$-category theory has not been formalized. To support future work on formalizing $\infty$-category theory…
We adapt the notion of an algebraic theory to work in the setting of quasicategories developed recently by Joyal and Lurie. We develop the general theory at some length. We study one extended example in detail: the theory of commutative…
What has category theory to offer to Banach spacers? In this second part survey-like paper we will focus on very much needed advanced categorical and homological elements, such as Kan extensions, derived category and derived functor or…
We study Kan extensions in three weakenings of the Eilenberg-Moore double category associated to a double monad, that was introduced by Grandis and Par\'e. To be precise, given a normal oplax double monad $T$ on a double category $\mathcal…
Restriction categories provide a categorical framework for partiality. In this paper, we introduce three new categorical theories for partiality: local categories, partial categories, and inclusion categories. The objects of a local…
We present a doctrinal approach to category theory, obtained by abstracting from the indexed inclusions (via discrete fibrations and opfibrations) of the left and of the right actions of X in Cat in categories over X. Namely, a "weak…
In this note, I define a notion of a compactly supported object in a triangulated category. I prove a number of propositions relating this to traditional notions of support and give an application to the theory of derived Morita…
It is known that monoidal categories have a finite definition, whereas multicategories have an infinite (albeit finitary) definition. Since monoidal categories correspond to representable multicategories, it goes without saying that…
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of some of the foundational properties of categories enriched over quantaloids, along with several new results. We demonstrate that the category whose objects are quantaloid-enriched categories…
Verbs play an important role in the understanding of natural language text. This paper studies the problem of abstracting the subject and object arguments of a verb into a set of noun concepts, known as the "argument concepts". This set of…
We show that state, reader, writer, and error monad transformers are instances of one general categorical construction: translation of a monad along an adjunction.
An outline and summary of four new potential applications of category theory to OOP research are presented. These include (1) the use of operads to model Java subtyping, (2) the use of Yoneda's lemma and representable functors in the…
In the category of monoids we characterize monomorphisms that are normal, in an appropriate sense, to internal reflexive relations, preorders or equivalence relations. The zero-classes of such internal relations are first described in terms…
We study properties of a category after quotienting out a suitable chosen group of isomorphisms on each object. Coproducts in the original category are described in its quotient by our new weaker notion of a 'phased coproduct'. We examine…
We deal with stability theory for ``reasonable'' non-elementary classes without any remanents of compactness (like: above Hanf number or definable by L_{omega_1, omega}).
It is shown that every two-variable adjunction in categories enriched in a commutative quantale serves as a base for constructing Isbell adjunctions between functor categories, and Kan adjunctions are precisely Isbell adjunctions…
We use the terms "$\infty$-categories" and "$\infty$-functors" to mean the objects and morphisms in an "$\infty$-cosmos." Quasi-categories, Segal categories, complete Segal spaces, naturally marked simplicial sets, iterated complete Segal…
