A partial group is a generalization of the concept of group recently introduced by A. Chermak. By considering partial groups as simplicial sets, we propose an extension theory for partial groups using the concept of (simplicial) fibre…
The Ehresmann-Schein-Nambooripad (ESN) Theorem asserts an equivalence between the category of inverse semigroups and the category of inductive groupoids. In this paper, we consider the category of inverse categories and functors -- a…
We study the local isomorphism classes, also known as genera or weak equivalence classes, of fractional ideals of orders in \'etale algebras. We provide a classification in terms of linear algebra objects over residue fields. As a…
Locally isoperimetric $N$-partitions are partitions of the space $\mathbb R^d$ into $N$ regions with prescribed, finite or infinite measure, which have minimal perimeter (which is the $(d-1)$-dimensional measure of the interfaces between…
Category theory has become central to certain aspects of theoretical physics. Bain [Synthese, 190:1621--1635 (2013)] has recently argued that this has significance for ontic structural realism. We argue against this claim. In so doing, we…
A semi-localization of a category is a full reflective subcategory with the property that the reflector is semi-left-exact. In this article we first determine an abstract characterization of the categories which are semi-localizations of an…
It is a well-known result of Etingof, Nikshych and Ostrik that there are finitely many inequivalent integral modular categories of any fixed rank $n$. This follows from a double-exponential bound on the maximal denominator in an Egyptian…
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…
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.…
The category ${\rm Rel}(\mathcal{C})$ may be formed for any category $\mathcal{C}$ with finite limits using the same objects as $\mathcal{C}$ but whose morphisms from $X$ to $Y$ are binary relations in $\mathcal{C}$, that is, subobjects of…
Riehl and Verity have established that for a quasi-category $A$ that admits limits, and a homotopy coherent monad on $A$ which does not preserve limits, the Eilenberg-Moore object still admits limits; this can be interpreted as a…
We classify all fusion categories for a given set of fusion rules with three simple object types. If a conjecture of Ostrik is true, our classification completes the classification of fusion categories with three simple object types. To…
The present work develops a construction of a CD category of partial kernels from a particular type of Markov category called a partializable Markov category. These are a generalization of earlier models of categories of partial morphisms…
By using a similar pattern of arguments, we show that in three categories the collection of isomorphisms forms a residual subset of the space of morphisms. We first consider surjective continuous mappings on Cantor spaces. Next, we look at…
Recent work in set theory indicates that there are many different notions of 'set', each captured by a different collection of axioms, as proposed by J. Hamkins in [Ham11]. In this paper we strive to give one class theory that allows for a…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a small category, and suppose that we are given two (non-full) subcategories $\mathcal{S}^{sm}$ and $\mathcal{S}^{cl}$ that generate all morphisms of $\mathcal{S}$ under composition in the same way as morphisms of…
We formulate a general abstract criterion for verifying the local-to-global principle for a rigidly-compactly generated tensor triangulated category. Our approach is based upon an inductive construction using dimension functions. Using our…
The center of interest in this work are variational problems with integral functionals depending on special nonlocal gradients. The latter correspond to truncated versions of the Riesz fractional gradient, as introduced in [Bellido, Cueto &…
Projectivity and injectivity are fundamental notions in category theory. We consider natural weakenings termed semiprojectivity and semiinjectivity, and study these concepts in different categories. For example, in the category of metric…
We consider $(\infty,d)$-categories in the limit $d\to \infty$ via the core or localization functors that forget or invert higher non-invertible arrows, respectively. We compare the two resulting $(\infty,1)$-categories of…
