The manuscript at hand systematically studies K\"unneth formulas at a categorical level. We give criteria for an abstract six functor formalism to satisfy the categorical K\"unneth formula, and use this to formulate conjectures for…

We initiate the study of the cohomology of (strict polynomial) bifunctors by introducing the foundational formalism, establishing numerous properties in analogy with the cohomology of functors, and providing computational techniques. Since…

We consider all Bott-Samelson varieties ${\rm BS}(s)$ for a fixed connected semisimple complex algebraic group with maximal torus $T$ as the class of objects of some category. The class of morphisms of this category is an extension of the…

There is some consensus among orthodox category theorists that the concept of adjoint functors is the most important concept contributed to mathematics by category theory. We give a heterodox treatment of adjoints using heteromorphisms…

We describe a procedure for constructing morphisms in additive categories, combining Auslander's concept of a morphism determined by an object with the existence of flat covers. Also, we show how flat covers are turned into projective…

We introduce a formalism based on a combinatorial notion of cell complex subject to an inclusion-reversing duality operation. Our main goal is to open the way for a functorial definition of field theories in a context where no manifold or…

This paper is a study of monoidal categories with duals where the tensor product need not be commutative. The motivating examples are categories of representations of Hopf algebras and the motivating application is the definition of…

In this paper we show that the six functor formalism for sheaves on locally compact Hausdorff topological spaces, as developed for example in Kashiwara and Schapira's book Sheaves on Manifolds, can be extended to sheaves with values in any…

In this paper we develop the $A_\infty$-analog of the Maurer-Cartan simplicial set associated to an $L_\infty$-algebra and show how we can use this to study the deformation theory of $\infty$-morphisms of algebras over non-symmetric…

To a Lie groupoid over a compact base, the associated group of bisection is an (infinite-dimensional) Lie group. Moreover, under certain circumstances one can reconstruct the Lie groupoid from its Lie group of bisections. In the present…

Murray, Roberts and Wockel showed that there is no strict model of the string 2-group using the free loop group. Instead, they construct the next best thing, a coherent model for the string 2-group using the free loop group, with explicit…

Given an $\infty$-category $C$ equipped with suitable wide subcategories $I, P \subset E\subset C$, we show that the $(\infty,2)$-category $\text{S}{\scriptstyle\text{PAN}}_2(C,E)_{P,I}$ of higher (or iterated) spans defined by Haugseng has…

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a new category, which we call a resonance category, whose combinatorics reflect that of canonical stratifications of $n$-fold symmetric smash products. The study of the stratifications can then…

This paper reviews the functional aspects of statistical learning theory. The main point under consideration is the nature of the hypothesis set when no prior information is available but data. Within this framework we first discuss about…

We define a cohomology for an arbitrary $K$-linear semistrict semigroupal 2-category $(\mathfrak{C},\otimes)$ (called in the paper a Gray semigroup) and show that its first order (unitary) deformations, up to the suitable notion of…

We present the notion of "cyclic double multicategory", as a structure in which to organise multivariable adjunctions and mates. The classic example of a 2-variable adjunction is the hom/tensor/cotensor trio of functors; we generalise this…
