Interest in weak cubical n-categories arises in various contexts, in particular in topological field theories. In this paper, we describe a concept of double bicategory, namely a strict model of the theory of bicategories in Bicat. We show…
In this article the 2-adjunction that relates universal arrows and extensive monads is constructed explicitly. This 2-adjunction resembles the one that relates adjunctions and monads since the 2-category of universal arrows is isomorphic to…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be monoidal categories and let $R:\mathcal{A} \rightarrow \mathcal{B}$ be a lax monoidal functor. If $R$ has a left adjoint $L$, it is well-known that the two adjoints induce functors $\overline{R}={\sf…
The fundamental construction underlying descent theory, the lax descent category, comes with a functor that forgets the descent data. We prove that, in any $2$-category $\mathfrak{A} $ with lax descent objects, the forgetful morphisms…
Fix a monoidal category C. The 2-category of monads in the 2-category of C-actegories, colax C-equivarant functors, and C-equivariant natural transformations of colax functors, may be recast in terms of pairs consisting of a usual monad and…
For any 0-cell $B$ in a 2-category $\Bc$ we introduce the notion of adjoint algebra $\adj_B$. This is an algebra in the center of $\Bc$. We prove that, if $\ca$ is a finite tensor category, this notion applied to the 2-category of…
In a previous paper we introduced the concept of semiseparable functor. Here we continue our study of these functors in connection with idempotent (Cauchy) completion. To this aim, we introduce and investigate the notions of (co)reflection…
Firstly we provide a technique to move torsion pairs in abelian categories via adjoint functors and in particular through Giraud subcategories. We apply this point in order to develop a correspondence between Giraud subcategories of an…
Given an adjoint pair of functors $F,G$, the composite $GF$ naturally gets the structure of a monad. The same monad may arise from many such adjoint pairs of functors, however. Can one describe all of the adjunctions giving rise to a given…
Via the adjunction $ - \boldsymbol{\cdot} 1 \dashv \mathcal V(1,-) \colon \mathsf{Span}(\mathcal V) \to \mathcal V \text{-} \mathsf{Mat} $ and a cartesian monad $ T $ on an extensive category $ \mathcal V $ with finite limits, we construct…
We develop a theory of adjunctions in semigroup categories, i.e. monoidal categories without a unit object. We show that a rigid semigroup category is promonoidal, and thus one can naturally adjoin a unit object to it. This extends the…
We show that the restriction functor from oriented factor planar algebras to subfactor planar algebras admits a left adjoint, which we call the free oriented extension functor. We show that for any subfactor planar algebra realized as the…
We consider the 3-category $2\mathfrak{C}at$ whose objects are 2-categories, 1-morphisms are lax functors, 2-morphisms are lax transformations and 3-morphisms are modifications. The aim is to show that it carries interesting…
We present an extension of Martin-L\"of Type Theory that contains a tiny object; a type for which there is a right adjoint to the formation of function types as well as the expected left adjoint. We demonstrate the practicality of this type…
We unify and extend previous bijections on plane quadrangulations to bipartite and quasibipartite plane maps. Starting from a bipartite plane map with a distinguished edge and two distinguished corners (in the same face or in two different…
We show that the left and right adjoint of the Schur functor can be expressed in terms of the monoidal structure of strict polynomial functors. Using this result we give a necessary and sufficient condition for when the tensor product of…
The main result of the paper is motivated by the following two, apparently unrelated graph optimization problems: (A) as an extension of Edmonds' disjoint branchings theorem, characterize digraphs comprising $k$ disjoint branchings $B_i$…
Given a subfield $F$ of $\mathbb{C}$, we study the linear disjointess of the field $E$ generated by iterated exponentials of elements of $\overline{F}$, and the field $L$ generated by iterated logarithms, in the presence of Schanuel's…
The classification of one parameter local Coulomb branch solution of theories with eight supercharges is given by assuming that it is given by a genus $g$ fiberation of Riemann surfaces. The crucial point is the fact that certain conjugacy…
A pseudomonad on a $2$-category whose underlying endomorphism is a $2$-functor can be seen as a diagram $\mathbf{Psmnd} \rightarrow \mathbf{Gray}$ for which weighted limits and colimits can be considered. The $2$-category of pseudoalgebras,…
