We define a local version of the extended symplectic category, the cotangent microbundle category, MiC, which turns out to be a true monoidal category. We show that a monoid in this category induces a Poisson manifold together with the…
We develop the categorical algebra of the noncommutative base change of a comodule category by means of a Grothendieck category $\mathfrak S$. We describe when the resulting category of comodules is locally finitely generated, locally…
An unrepresentable cohomological functor of finite type of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves of a compact complex manifold of dimension greater than one with no proper closed subvariety is given explicitly in categorical…
A classical result of Tannaka duality is the fact that a coalgebra over a field can be reconstructed from its category of finite dimensional representations by using the forgetful functor which sends a representation to its underlying…
For classical dynamical systems, the polynomial entropy serves as a refined invariant of the topological entropy. In the setting of categorical dynamical systems, that is, triangulated categories endowed with an endofunctor, we develop the…
Let $K[x]$ be a polynomial algebra in a variable $x$ over a commutative $\Q$-algebra $K$, and $\G'$ be the monoid of $K$-algebra monomorphisms of $K[x]$ of the type $\s : x\mapsto x+\l_2x^2+... +\l_nx^n$, $\l_i\in K$, $\l_n$ is a unit of…
We provide a construction for holes into which morphisms of abstract symmetric monoidal categories can be inserted, termed the polyslot construction pslot[C], and identify a sub-class srep[C] of polyslots that are single-party…
If $\mathcal{C}$ is a cocomplete monoidal category in which tensoring from both sides preserves coequalizers, then the category of monoids over $\mathcal{C}$ is cocomplete. The same holds if $\mathcal{C}$ has regular factorizations and…
Like categories, small 2-categories have well-understood classifying spaces. In this paper, we deal with homotopy types represented by 2-diagrams of 2-categories. Our results extend to homotopy colimits of 2-functors lower categorical…
Conformal algebras, recently introduced by Kac, encode an axiomatic description of the singular part of the operator product expansion in conformal field theory. The objective of this paper is to develop the theory of ``multi-dimensional''…
In this paper we obtain a description of the Grothendieck group of complex vector bundles over the classifying space of a p-local finite group in terms of representation rings of subgroups of its Sylow. We also prove a stable elements…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$ and let $\ell$ be a prime number different from $p$. Let $U \subseteq G$ be a maximal unipotent subgroup, $T$ a maximal torus…
In this paper, we present an infinity-categorical version of the theory of monoidal categories. We show that the infinity category of spectra admits an essentially unique monoidal structure (such that the tensor product preserves colimits…
The category $\mathrm{FI}_G$ was first defined and explored by Sam-Snowden. Here, we develop more of the machinery of $\mathrm{FI}_G$-modules and find numerous examples to apply it to, extending the work of Church-Ellenberg-Farb and Wilson.…
It has long been known that every weak monoidal category A is equivalent via monoidal functors and monoidal natural transformations to a strict monoidal category st(A). We generalise the definition of weak monoidal category to give a…
We associate to a 2-vector bundle over an essentially finite groupoid a 2-vector space of parallel sections, or, in representation theoretic terms, of higher invariants, which can be described as homotopy fixed points. Our main result is…
We prove a generalisation to any characteristic of a result of Macdonald that describes strict polynomial functors in characteristic zero in terms of representations of the groupoid of finite sets and bijections. Our result will give an…
We show that the tensor product of $\infty$-categories enriched in a suitable monoidal $\infty$-category preserves colimits in each variable, fixing a mistake in an earlier paper of Gepner and the author. We also prove that essentially…
Let $\A$ be a finitely generated semigroup with 0. An $\A$-module over $\fun$ (also called an $\A$--set), is a pointed set $(M,*)$ together with an action of $\A$. We define and study the Hall algebra $\H_{\A}$ of the category $\C_{\A}$ of…
This work results from a study of Nicholas Kuhn's paper entitled "Generic representation theory of finite fields in nondescribing characteristic". Our goal is to abstract the categorical structure required to obtain an equivalence between…
