We define a family of graphs we call dual systolic graphs. This definition comes from graphs that are duals of systolic simplicial complexes. Our main result is a sharp (up to constants) isoperimetric inequality for dual systolic graphs.…

Trace diagrams are structured graphs with edges labeled by matrices. Each diagram has an interpretation as a particular multilinear function. We provide a rigorous combinatorial definition of these diagrams using a notion of signed graph…

We extend the arithmetic product of species of structures and symmetric sequences studied by Maia and Mendez and by Dwyer and Hess to coloured symmetric sequences and show that it determines a normal oplax monoidal structure on the…

We discuss string diagrams for timed process theories -- represented by duoidally-graded symmetric strict monoidal categories -- built upon the string diagrams of pinwheel double categories.

Iterations of odd piecewise continuous maps with two discontinuities, i.e., symmetric discontinuous bimodal maps, are studied. Symbolic dynamics is introduced. The tools of kneading theory are used to study the homology of the discrete…

The overlap graphs of subtrees of a tree are equivalent to subtree filament graphs, the overlap graphs of subtrees of a star are cocomparability graphs, and the overlap graphs of subtrees of a caterpillar are interval filament graphs. In…

Monoidal algebraic structures consist of operations that can have multiple outputs as well as multiple inputs, which have applications in many areas including categorical algebra, programming language semantics, representation theory,…

Each finite and connected bipartite graph induces a finite collection of non-isomorphic dessins d'enfants, that is, $2$-cell embeddings of it into some closed orientable surface. We describe an algorithm to compute all these dessins…

We develop a general theory of (extended) inner autoequivalences of objects of any 2-category, generalizing the theory of isotropy groups to the 2-categorical setting. We show how dense subcategories let one compute isotropy in the presence…

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…

In this note, we define an analogue of R-matrices for bialgebras in the setting of a monad that is opmonoidal over two tensor products. Analogous to the classical case, such structures bijectively correspond to duoidal structures on the…

Diagrammatic notation has become a ubiquitous computational tool; early examples include Penrose's graphical notation for tensor calculus, Feynman's diagrams for perturbative quantum field theory, and Cvitanovic's birdtracks for Lie…

We now have a wide range of proof assistants available for compositional reasoning in monoidal or higher categories which are free on some generating signature. However, none of these allow us to represent categorical operations such as…

Multisummation provides a transparent description of Stokes matrices which is reviewed here together with some applications. Examples of moduli spaces for Stokes matrices are computed and discussed. A moduli space for a third Painlev\'e…

The main contribution of this article is a new prior distribution over directed acyclic graphs, which gives larger weight to sparse graphs. This distribution is intended for structured Bayesian networks, where the structure is given by an…

In this paper we show how the theory of monads can be used to deduce in a uniform manner several duality theorems involving categories of relations on one side and categories of algebras with homomorphisms preserving only some operations on…

A planar stuffed map is an embedding of a graph into the 2-sphere $S^{2}$, considered up to orientation-preserving homeomorphisms, such that the complement of the graph is a collection of disjoint topologically connected components that are…

The paper is devoted to a categorical study of the category of probabilistic metric spaces. The study is based on an isomorphic description of the category of probabilistic metric spaces. The isomorphic description was obtained in [3] and…

We formulate a framework of polynomial diagrams, which are a generalisation of power diagrams (PDs) and anisotropic power diagrams (APDs) allowing for boundaries between cells to be algebraic curves of a prescribed degree. We show that they…

To a univariate monic polynomial is attached a special planar forest that is called the picture of the polynomial. Isotopy classes of pictures are called signatures. All combinatorially possible signatures are realized and spaces of…
