A certain amount of category theory is developed in an arbitrary finitely complete category with a factorization system on it, playing the role of the comprehensive factorization system on Cat. Those aspects related to the concepts of…

In this paper we formalize some foundation concepts and theorems of group theory in a variant of type theory called the Calculus of Constructions with Definitions. In this theory we introduce definition of a group, which is both general and…

We develop a categorical and algebro-geometric treatment of localization for cohomological theories endowed with an open--closed recollement. Starting from a class on a space whose restriction to the open complement vanishes, we show that…

We present a domain-specific type theory for constructions and proofs in category theory. The type theory axiomatizes notions of category, functor, profunctor and a generalized form of natural transformations. The type theory imposes an…

We design a Rocq library about adhesive categories, using Hierarchy Builder (HB). It is built around two hierarchies. The first is for categories, with usual categories at the bottom and adhesive categories at the top, with weaker variants…

This paper proposes a formal cognitive framework for problem solving based on category theory. We introduce cognitive categories, which are categories with exactly one morphism between any two objects. Objects in these categories are…

In the present paper, we propose a new axiomatic approach to nonstandard analysis and its application to the general theory of spatial structures in terms of category theory. Our framework is based on the idea of internal set theory, while…

Category theory is famous for its innovative way of thinking of concepts by their descriptions, in particular by establishing universal properties. Concepts that can be characterized in a universal way receive a certain quality seal, which…

In this paper we develop an axiomatic setup for algorithmic homological algebra of Abelian categories. This is done by exhibiting all existential quantifiers entering the definition of an Abelian category, which for the sake of…

We present gradual type theory, a logic and type theory for call-by-name gradual typing. We define the central constructions of gradual typing (the dynamic type, type casts and type error) in a novel way, by universal properties relative to…

We have previously published the Isabelle/HOL formalization of a general theory of syntax with bindings. In this companion paper, we instantiate the general theory to the syntax of lambda-calculus and formalize the development leading to…

Many formal languages of contemporary mathematical music theory -- particularly those employing category theory -- are powerful but cumbersome: ideas that are conceptually simple frequently require expression through elaborate categorical…

Some aspects of basic category theory are developed in a finitely complete category $\C$, endowed with two factorization systems which determine the same discrete objects and are linked by a simple reciprocal stability law. Resting on this…
