Polynomial functors are useful in the theory of data types, where they are often called containers. They are also useful in algebra, combinatorics, topology, and higher category theory, and in this broader perspective the polynomial aspect…

For a certain class of abelian categories, we show how to make sense of the "Euler characteristic" of an infinite projective resolution (or, more generally, certain chain complexes that are only bounded above), by passing to a suitable…

We study polynomial functors of degree 2, called quadratic, with values in the category of abelian groups $Ab$, and whose source category is an arbitrary category $\C$ with null object such that all objects are colimits of copies of a…

The author has shown that the category of analytic contravariant functors on $\mathbf{gr}$, the category of finitely-generated free groups, is equivalent to the category of left modules over the PROP associated to the Lie operad, working…

In Goodwillie calculus, unpublished work of Dwyer and Rezk provides a classification of reduced filtered colimit preserving $d$-excisive functors from pointed spaces to spectra as spectrum-valued functors on the category of finite sets of…

Working over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, the category of analytic contravariant functors on the category of finitely-generated free groups is shown to be equivalent to the category of representations of the $k$-linear category…

Polynomial functors are a categorical generalization of the usual notion of polynomial, which has found many applications in higher categories and type theory: those are generated by polynomials consisting a set of monomials built from sets…

We show that direct summands of certain additive functors arising as bifunctors with a fixed argument in an abelian category are again of that form whenever the fixed argument has finite length or, more generally, satisfies the descending…

We study the effect of a quantum Frobenius twist on Ext-groups in the category of quantum polynomial functors. We use quantum versions of the de Rham and Koszul complexes, and compute their homologies. We use them to do several…

We give a specific cylinder functor for semifree dg categories. This allows us to construct a homotopy colimit functor explicitly. These two functors are "computable", specifically, the constructed cylinder functor sends a dg category of…

We establish a decomposition of stable homology of automorphism groups of free groups with polynomial contravariant coefficients in term of functor homology. This allows several explicit computations, intersecting results obtained by…

An approach to identify the normal subgroups determined by ideals in free group rings with the help of the derived functors of non-additive functors is explored. A similar approach, i.e., via derived functors, for computing limits of…

We introduce and study a Serre functor in the category ${\cal P}_d$ of strict polynomial functors over a field of positive characteristic. By using it we obtain the Poincar\'e duality formula for Ext--groups from [C3] in elementary way. We…

Given two polynomials $p(x), q(x)$ of degree $d$, we give a combinatorial formula for the finite free cumulants of $p(x)\boxtimes_d q(x)$. We show that this formula admits a topological expansion in terms of non-crossing multi-annular…

We compare derived categories of the category of strict polynomial functors over a finite field and the category of ordinary endofunctors on the category of vector spaces. We introduce two intermediate categories: the category of…

We consider the canonical pseudodistributive law between various free limit completion pseudomonads and the free coproduct completion pseudomonad. When the class of limits includes pullbacks, we show that this consideration leads to notions…

By results of Rognerud, a source algebra equivalence between two $p$-blocks of finite groups induces an equivalence between the categories of cohomological Mackey functors associated with these blocks, and a splendid derived equivalence…

This paper aims to study Ext-groups between certain functors defined on the category of finitely generated free groups. Rational Ext-groups between the abelianization functor and its symmetric powers are known, and are almost always equal…

We study the homological algebra in the category $\mathcal{P}_p$ of strict polynomial functors of degree $p$ over a field of positive characteristic $p$. We determine the decomposition matrix of our category and we calculate the Ext-groups…

The aim of this paper is to study, by using the mathematical tools developed by Chalupnik, Touze, and Van der Kallen, the effect of the Frobenius twist on Ext-group in the category of strict polynomial functors. As an application, we obtain…
