Algebraic structures such as monoids, groups, and categories can be formulated within a category using commutative diagrams. In many common categories these reduce to familiar cases. In particular, group objects in Grp are abelian groups,…
We introduce the notion of `bar category' by which we mean a monoidal category equipped with additional structure formalising the notion of complex conjugation. Examples of our theory include bimodules over a $*$-algebra, modules over a…
Categories of partial functions have become increasingly important principally because of their applications in theoretical computer science. In this note we prove that the category of partial bijections between sets as an…
A group-category is an additively semisimple category with a monoidal product structure in which the simple objects are invertible. For example in the category of representations of a group, 1-dimensional representations are the invertible…
Category theory is famous for its innovative way of thinking of concepts by their descriptions, in particular by establishing universal properties. Concepts that can be characterized in a universal way receive a certain quality seal, which…
We introduce admissible group actions on cluster algebras, cluster categories and quivers with potential and study the resulting orbit spaces. The orbit space of the cluster algebra has the structure of a generalized cluster algebra. This…
Assume that $p>2$, and let $\mathscr{O}_K$ be a $p$-adic discrete valuation ring with residue field admitting a finite $p$-basis, and let $R$ be a formally smooth formally finite-type $\mathscr{O}_K$-algebra. (Indeed, we allow slightly more…
We provide a universal construction of the category of finite-dimensional C*-algebras and completely positive trace-nonincreasing maps from the rig category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and unitaries. This construction, which can be…
The filter quotient construction is a particular instance of a filtered colimit of categories. It has primarily been considered in the context of categorical logic, where it has been used effectively to construct non-trivial models, for…
In this paper we give an algorithmic description of Freyd categories that subsumes and enhances the usual approach to finitely presented modules in computer algebra. The upshot is a constructive approach to finitely presented functors that…
We show that either of the two reasonable choices for the category of compact quantum groups is nice enough to allow for a plethora of universal constructions, all obtained "by abstract nonsense" via the adjoint functor theorem. This…
Let $\mathcal A$ be a Hom-finite abelian category with enough projectives. In this note, we show that any covariantly finite $\tau$-rigid subcategory is contained in a support $\tau$-tilting subcategory. We also show that support…
We develop category-theoretic framework for universal homogeneous objects, with some applications in the theory of Banach spaces, linear orderings, and in topology of compact spaces.
Inspired by recent work of Geiss-Leclerc-Schroer, we use Hom-finite cluster categories to give a good candidate set for a basis of (upper) cluster algebras with coefficients arising from quivers. This set consists of generic values taken by…
We introduce axioms for towers of infinite-dimensional algebras such that the corresponding Grothendieck groups of projective and finite-dimensional modules are Hopf dual to each other. This duality gives rise to an action of the Hesienberg…
We introduce the class of partially invertible modules and show that it is an inverse category which we call the Picard inverse category. We use this category to generalize the classical construction of crossed products to, what we call,…
We demonstrate how category theory provides specifications that can efficiently be implemented via imperative algorithms and apply this to the field of graph rewriting. By examples, we show how this paradigm of software development makes it…
The process of replacing an arbitrary Boolean function by a bijective one, a fundamental tool in reversible computing and in cryptography, is interpreted algebraically as a particular instance of a certain group homomorphism from the X-fold…
We propose the design of novel categorical generative AI architectures (GAIAs) using topos theory, a type of category that is ``set-like": a topos has all (co)limits, is Cartesian closed, and has a subobject classifier. Previous theoretical…
We show that a number of results on abstract elementary classes (AECs) hold in accessible categories with concrete directed colimits. In particular, we prove a generalization of a recent result of Boney on tameness under a large cardinal…
