Finster and Mimram have defined a dependent type theory called CaTT, which describes the structure of omega-categories. Types in homotopy type theory with their higher identity types form weak omega-groupoids, so they are in particular weak…

The classical Eckmann-Hilton argument shows that two monoid structures on a set, such that one is a homomorphism for the other, coincide and, moreover, the resulting monoid is commutative. This argument immediately gives a proof of the…

We show that diagrammatic sets, a topologically sound alternative to polygraphs and strict $\omega$-categories, admit an internal notion of equivalence in the sense of coinductive weak invertibility. We prove that equivalences have the…

A concrete computation -- twelve slidings with sixteen tiles -- reveals that certain commutativity phenomena occur in every double semigroup. This can be seen as a sort of Eckmann-Hilton argument, but it does not use units. The result…

We describe a construction that to each algebraically specified notion of higher-dimensional category associates a notion of homomorphism which preserves the categorical structure only up to weakly invertible higher cells. The construction…

We present a conservative extension ICaTT of the dependent type theory CaTT for weak $\omega$-categories with a type witnessing coinductive invertibility of cells. This extension allows for a concise description of the "walking equivalence"…

The well-known Eckmann-Hilton Principle may be applied to prove that fundamental groups of $H$-spaces are commutative. In this paper, we identify an infinitary analogue of the Eckmann-Hilton Principle that applies to fundamental groups of…

In this paper, firstly, we introduce a higher-dimensional analogue of hypergraphs, namely $\omega$-hypergraphs. This notion is thoroughly flexible because unlike ordinary $\omega$-graphs, an n-dimensional edge called an n-cell has many…

We present a simple extension of the classical Hilton-Eckmann argument classically used to prove that the endomorphism monoid of the unit object in a monoidal category is commutative. It allows us to recover in a uniform way well-known…

It is well known that strict $\omega$-categories, strict $\omega$-functors, strict natural $\omega$-transformations, and so on, form a strict $\omega$-category. A similar property for weak $\omega$-categories is one of the main hypotheses…

One takes advantage of some basic properties of every homotopic $\lambda$-model (e.g.\ extensional Kan complex) to explore the higher $\beta\eta$-conversions, which would correspond to proofs of equality between terms of a theory of…

This paper develops a representation-theoretic approach to the isogeny category $\underline{\mathcal{C}}$ of commutative group schemes of finite type over a field $k$, studied in arXiv:1602:00222. We construct a ring $R$ such that…

Let $\mathbb{k}$ be a commutative ring with global dimension zero. We show that we can rigidify homotopy coherent comodules in connective modules over the Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum of $\mathbb{k}$. That is, the $\infty$-category of…

An appropriate framework is put forward for the construction of $\lambda$-models with $\infty$-groupoid structure, which we call \textit{homotopic $\lambda$-models}, through the use of an $\infty$-category with cartesian closure and enough…

We study coinductive invertibility of cells in weak $\omega$-categories. We use the inductive presentation of weak $\omega$-categories via an adjunction with the category of computads, and show that invertible cells are closed under all…
