We introduce a general construction on 2-monads. We develop background on maps of 2-monads, their left semi-algebras, and colimits in 2-category. Then, we introduce the construction of a colimit induced by a map of 2-monads, show that we…

The set of natural integers is fundamental for at least two reasons: it is the free induction algebra over the empty set (and at such allows definitions of maps by primitive recursion) and it is the free monoid over a one-element set, the…

Symmetries and isomorphisms play similar conceptual roles when we consider how models represent physical situations, but they are formally distinct, as two models related by symmetries are not typically isomorphic. I offer a rigorous…

We give an introduction to logic tailored for algebraists, explaining how proofs in linear logic can be viewed as algorithms for constructing morphisms in symmetric closed monoidal categories with additional structure. This is made explicit…

The parametrization theorem is derived in a flat nD pseudo-complex affine space. The pseudo-complex hyperbolic space accomodates n-number of uncompactified time-like extra dimensions with sugnature (s,r), where s and r are the numbers of…

We generalize the notion of an anomaly for a symmetry to a noninvertible symmetry enacted by surface operators using the framework of condensation in 2-categories. Given a multifusion 2-category, potentially with some additional levels of…

We obtain a series of new results on the problem of irreducibility of commuting varieties associated with symmetric pairs or, in other words, $Z_2$-graded simple Lie algebras. In particular, we present many examples of reducible commuting…

In this paper we generalise the notion of linearity (in the sense of Lawvere) to a category C equipped with a compatible sum structure and product structure. In this context, any morphism f from an n-fold sum to an n-fold product has a…

We give a formula for the parity of the Maslov index of a triple of Lagrangian subspaces of a skew symmetric bilinear form over the real numbers. We define an index two subcategory (the even subcategory) of a 3-dimensional cobordism…

In this paper, we study the symmetric rank of products of linear forms and an irreducible quadratic form. The main result presents a new, non-trivial lower bound for the rank, and the arguments rely on the apolarity lemma. In the special…

We show that morphisms from n A_infinity-algebras to a single one are maps over an operad module with n+1 commuting actions of the operad A_infinity, whose algebras are conventional A_infinity-algebras. Similar statement holds for homotopy…

Using the recent parity-based construction of a covariant basis for operators acting on the $(j,0)\oplus(0,j)$ representation of the HLG, we propose a formalism for the description of high spin matter fields, based on the projection over…

Let $\Lambda$ and $\Gamma$ be symmetrically separably equivalent Artin algebras. We prove that there exist symmetrical separable equivalences between certain endomorphism algebras of modules. As applications, we provide several methods to…

To characterize categorical constraints - associativity, commutativity and monoidality - in the context of quasimonoidal categories, from a cohomological point of view, we define the notion of a parity (quasi)complex. Applied to groups…
