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 give a computational approach to theorem proving in homological algebra. This approach is based on computations in the free abelian category of an additive category $\mathbf{A}$. We show that the free abelian category is amenable to…

A full subcategory of modules over a commutative ring $R$ is wide if it is abelian and closed under extensions. Hovey \cite{wide} gave a classification of wide subcategories of finitely presented modules over regular coherent rings in terms…

This is the second paper in a series on representations over diagrams of abelian categories. We show that, under certain conditions, a compatible family of abelian model categories indexed by a skeletal small category can be amalgamated…

We modify the axioms of triangulated categories to include both higher triangles and distinguished maps of higher triangles. The distinguished maps are specializations of Neeman's ``good'' maps of $2$-triangles. The axioms both simplify…

For a finite dimensional algebra $A$, we prove that the bounded homotopy category of projective $A$-modules and the bounded derived category of $A$-modules are dual to each other via certain categories of locally-finite cohomological…

In recent years, attempts to generalize lattice gauge theories to model topological order have been carried out through the so called $2$-gauge theories. These have opened the door to interesting new models and new topological phases which…

This thesis focuses on topics in 2-category theory: in particular on double categories, pseudomonads and codescent objects. In Chapter 2 we recall all the necessary notions. In Chapter 3 we show that factorization systems can be…

We prove new vanishing results on the growth of higher torsion homologies for suitable arithmetic lattices, Artin groups and mapping class groups. The growth is understood along Farber sequences, in particular, along residual chains. For…

We study group graded extensions of fusion 2-categories. As an application, we obtain a homotopy theoretic classification of fermionic strongly fusion 2-categories. We examine various examples in detail.

We use Quillen model structures to show a systematic method to lift recollements of hereditary abelian model categories to recollements of their associated homotopy categories. To that end, we use the notion of Quillen adjoint triples and…

Let $(1)$ be an automorphism on an additive category $\mathcal{B}$, and let $\eta\colon (1)\to {\rm Id}_{\mathcal{B}}$ be a natural transformation satisfying $\eta_{X(1)}=\eta_X(1)$ for any object $X$ in $\mathcal{B}$. We construct a new…

We focus on two factorization systems for opfibrations in the 2-category Fib(B) of fibrations over a fixed base category B. The first one is the internal version of the so called comprehensive factorization, where the right orthogonal class…

Categorical structures and their pseudomaps rarely form locally presentable 2-categories in the sense of Cat-enriched category theory. However, we show that if the categorical structure in question is sufficiently weak (such as the…

We introduce a new notion of recursively generated enriched term which generalizes the one studied in joint work with Rosick\'y. These new terms come together with a notion of term-interpretability, which recovers the same type of…

We develop pivotal and spherical versions of graded extension theory. We define the corresponding analogues of Brauer-Picard $2$-categorical groups and realize them as fixed points of natural $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$…

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…

We consider three (2-)categories and their (anti-)equivalence. They are the category of small abelian categories and exact functors, the category of definable additive categories and interpretation functors, the category of locally coherent…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. A full additive subcategory $\C$ of $R$-modules is triangulated if whenever two terms of a short exact sequence belong to $\C$, then so does the third term. In this note we give a classification of…
