We introduce nominal string diagrams as, string diagrams internal in the category of nominal sets. This requires us to take nominal sets as a monoidal category, not with the cartesian product, but with the separated product. To this end, we…
We give a complete topological classification of germs of holomorphic foliations in the plane under rather generic conditions. The key point is the introduction of a new topological invariant called monodromy representation. This monodromy…
Categorical probability has recently seen significant advances through the formalism of Markov categories, within which several classical theorems have been proven in entirely abstract categorical terms. Closely related to Markov categories…
We modify a previous result, which showed that certain diagrams of spaces are essentially simplicial monoids, to construct diagrams of spaces which model simplicial groups. Furthermore, we show that these diagrams can be generalized to…
In this chapter we survey some particular topics in category theory in a somewhat unconventional manner. Our main focus will be on monoidal categories, mostly symmetric ones, for which we propose a physical interpretation. These are…
In 2010, Tom Halverson and Georgia Benkart introduced the Motzkin algebra, a generalization of the Temperley-Lieb algebra, whose elements are diagrams that can be multiplied by stacking one on top of the other. Halverson and Benkart gave a…
In this thesis, we develop the theory of bifibrations of polycategories. We start by studying how to express certain categorical structures as universal properties by generalising the shape of morphism. We call this phenomenon…
In this paper, we construct a differential graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are given by crossed homomorphisms on Leibniz algebras. This allows us to define cohomology for a crossed homomorphism. Finally, we study linear…
We study internal structures in regular categories using monoidal methods. Groupoids in a regular Goursat category can equivalently be described as special dagger Frobenius monoids in its monoidal category of relations. Similarly,…
We study the general theory of Frobenius algebras with group actions. These structures arise when one is studying the algebraic structures associated to a geometry stemming from a physical theory with a global finite gauge group, i.e.…
In this paper we study the representation theory of three monoids of partial functions on an $n$-set. The monoid of all order-preserving functions (i.e., functions satisfying $f(x)\leq f(y)$ if $x\leq y$) the monoid of all order-decreasing…
A diagram of groupoid correspondences is a homomorphism to the bicategory of \'etale groupoid correspondences. We study examples of such diagrams, including complexes of groups and self-similar higher-rank graphs. We encode the diagram in a…
We investigate a class of topological monoids with a suitable family of characters which we call Feller topological monoids. We extend the classical notion of subordinators to subordinators on Feller topological monoids. Under suitable…
In this paper, we introduce a rewriting theory of linear monoidal categories. Those categories are a particular case of what we will define as linear (n, p)-categories. We will also define linear (n, p)-polygraphs, a linear adapation of…
Circuit algebras, used in the study of finite-type knot invariants, are a symmetric analogue of Jones's planar algebras. They are very closely related to circuit operads, which are a variation of modular operads admitting an extra monoidal…
Let M be a monoidal category endowed with a distinguished class of weak equivalences and with appropriately compatible classifying bundles for monoids and comonoids. We define and study homotopy-invariant notions of normality for maps of…
Clans are representations of generalized algebraic theories that contain more information than the finite-limit categories associated to the locally finitely presentable categories of models via Gabriel-Ulmer duality. Extending…
In this paper, we introduce two new families of infinite-dimensional simple Lie algebras and a new family of infinite-dimensional simple Lie superalgebras. These algebras can be viewed as generalizations of the Block algebras.
We study homological representations of mapping class groups, including the braid groups. These arise from the twisted homology of certain configuration spaces, and come in many different flavours. Our goal is to give a unified general…
In the present paper, we define the new class of representation on $n$-Lie algebra that is called as generalized representation. We study the cohomology theory corresponding to generalized representations of $n$-Lie algebras and show its…
