Rational conformal field theories produce a tower of finite-dimensional representations of surface mapping class groups, acting on the conformal blocks of the theory. We review this formalism. We show that many recent mathematical…

The category of coherent sheaves over a noetherian scheme is very important for studying the properties of a given scheme. For noetherian schemes it is a well-known fact that the topology can be fully recovered from the corresponding…

In this paper, we study the notion of smooth $\infty$-categories within the framework of a six-functor formalism. By leveraging the theory of condensed mathematics and analytic stacks, we apply these results to demonstrate that a rigid…

We give simple upper bounds for rational sectional category and use them to compute invariants of the type of Farber's topological complexity of rational spaces. In particular we show that the sectional category of formal morphisms reaches…

In this short note, we classify linear categorified open topological field theories in dimension two by pivotal Grothendieck-Verdier categories, a type of monoidal category equipped with a weak, not necessarily rigid duality. In combination…

Every small monoidal category with universal finite joins of central idempotents is monoidally equivalent to the category of global sections of a sheaf of local monoidal categories on a topological space. Every small stiff monoidal category…

We introduce the notion of a geometric $(\infty,1)$-category, the protopyical example of which is an $(\infty,1)$-topos. We study (hyper)sheaves on geometric $(\infty,1)$-categories, proving that these are characterized by a form of…

We develop the theory of (op)fibrations of 2-multicategories and use it to define abstract six-functor-formalisms. We also give axioms for Wirthm\"uller and Grothendieck formalisms (where either $f^!=f^*$ or $f_!=f_*$) or intermediate…

We present the first definition of strictly associative and unital $\infty$-category. Our proposal takes the form of a type theory whose terms describe the operations of such structures, and whose definitional equality relation enforces…

Dependent pattern matching is a key feature in dependently typed programming. However, there is a theory-practice disconnect: while many proof assistants implement pattern matching as primitive, theoretical presentations give semantics to…

In this paper we give a summary of the comparisons between different definitions of so-called (\infty,1)-categories, which are considered to be models for \infty-categories whose n-morphisms are all invertible for n>1. They are also, from…

Using the microlocal theory of sheaves, we associate a category to each Weinstein manifold. By constructing a microlocal specialization functor, we show that exact Lagrangians give objects in our category, and that the category is invariant…

`Categorification' is the process of replacing equations by isomorphisms. We describe some of the ways a thoroughgoing emphasis on categorification can simplify and unify mathematics. We begin with elementary arithmetic, where the category…

Let G be a reductive groups over an algebraically closed field k. Let P^{(i)} be associated parabolic subgroups, and X^{(i)}:=T^*G/P^i. The bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves on X^{(i)} are equivalent, but there is no canonical…

We describe a number of geometric contexts where categorification appears naturally: coherent sheaves, constructible sheaves and sheaves of modules over quantizations. In each case, we discuss how "index formulas" allow us to easily perform…

The goal of this work is to describe a categorical formalism for (Extended) Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) and present them as functors from a suitable category of cobordisms with corners to a linear category, generalizing 2d…

In this paper we introduce constructible analogs of the discrete complexity classes $\mathbf{VP}$ and $\mathbf{VNP}$ of sequences of functions. The functions in the new definitions are constructible functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ or…

We classify the propositional modal validities arising from the category of sets under its natural classes of morphisms. The resulting validities depend on the morphism class, the size of the world, and the permitted substitution instances.…

We define for each $n \geq 1$ a symmetric monoidal $(\infty, n+1)$-category $n\mathrm{Pr}^L$ whose objects we call presentable $(\infty,n)$-categories, generalizing the usual theory of presentable $(\infty,1)$-categories. We show that each…

Let $A \leq G$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. An $A$-complement of $G$ is a subgroup $H$ of $G$ such that $G = A H$ and $A \cap H = \{1\}$. The \emph{classifying complements problem} asks for the description and classification of all…
