Exact categories are a natural generalisation of abelian categories and provide a fertile ground to develop relative homological algebra. In this paper, starting from a class of relative Gorenstein projective objects in an exact category…

The most commonly known triangulated categories arise from chain complexes in an abelian category by passing to chain homotopy classes or inverting quasi-isomorphisms. Such examples are called `algebraic' because they originate from abelian…

This article introduces Hilbert $*$-categories: an abstraction of categories with similar algebraic and analytic properties to the categories of real, complex, and quaternionic Hilbert spaces and bounded linear maps. Other examples include…

We show that every additive category with kernels and cokernels admits a maximal exact structure. Moreover, we discuss two examples of categories of the latter type arising from functional analysis.

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions to determine the existence of presymplectic forms of a given rank on all almost abelian Lie algebras. We also study the moduli space of presymplectic forms (this is the set of all closed 2-forms…

In the sense of Palamodov, a preabelian category is semi-abelian if for every morphism the natural morphism between the cokernel of its kernel and the kernel of its cokernel is simultaneously a monomorphism and an epimorphism. In this…

We introduce and study relatively divisible and relatively flat objects in exact categories in the sense of Quillen. For every relative cotorsion pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ in an exact category $\mathcal{C}$, $\mathcal{A}$ coincides…

Recollements of abelian categories are used as a basis of a homological and recursive approach to quasi-hereditary algebras. This yields a homological proof of Dlab and Ringel's characterisation of idempotent ideals occuring in heredity…

Bergeron and Ceballos defined a Hopf algebra structure on equivalence classes of subword complexes. We introduce a category of subword complexes, endow it with a proto-exact-like structure, and show that the corresponding dual Hall Hopf…

Motivated by applications to duality theorems for $p$-adic pro-\'etale cohomology of rigid analytic spaces, we study the category of Topological Vector Spaces in the setting of condensed mathematics. We prove that it contains, as full…

We investigate how the concepts of intersection and sums of subobjects carry to exact categories. We obtain a new characterisation of quasi-abelian categories in terms of admitting admissible intersections in the sense of Hassoun and Roy.…

Chevalley's theorem states that every smooth connected algebraic group over a perfect field is an extension of an abelian variety by a smooth connected affine group. That fails when the base field is not perfect. We define a pseudo-abelian…

To an abelian category A of homological dimension 1 satisfying certain finiteness conditions, one can associate an algebra, called the Hall algebra. Kapranov studied this algebra when A is the category of coherent sheaves over a smooth…

It is well known that a resolving subcategory $\mathcal{A}$ of an abelian subcategory $\mathcal{E}$ induces several derived equivalences: a triangle equivalence $\mathbf{D}^-(\mathcal{A})\to \mathbf{D}^-(\mathcal{E})$ exists in general and…

Canonical heights and Arakelov geometry on semi-abelian varieties. In this paper, we propose a construction of the canonical heights on an extension of an abelian variety by the multiplicative group, in the framework of Arakelov geometry.…

Consider an exact couple in a semiabelian category in the sense of Palamodov, i.e., in an additive category in which every morphism has a kernel as well as a cokernel and the induced morphism between coimage and image is always monic and…

For an exact dg category $\mathcal A$, we introduce its bounded dg derived category $\mathcal{D}^b_{dg}(\mathcal A)$ and establish the universal exact morphism from $\mathcal A$ to $\mathcal{D}^b_{dg}(\mathcal A)$. We prove that the dg…
