We define a relative Yamabe invariant of a smooth manifold with given conformal class on its boundary. In the case of empty boundary the invariant coincides with the classic Yamabe invariant. We develop approximation technique which leads…
In this article we develop formal category theory within augmented virtual double categories. Notably we formalise the classical notions of Kan extension, Yoneda embedding $\text y_A\colon A \to \hat A$, exact square, total category and…
Categories can be identified -- up to isomorphism -- with polynomial comonads on Set. The left Kan extension of a functor along itself is always a comonad -- called the density comonad -- so it defines a category when its carrier is…
Using the language of double categories we generalise a classical result on finite-product-preserving left Kan extensions, by Ad\'amek and Rosick\'y, to one on left Kan extensions that preserve algebraic structures defined by `suitable'…
Arden's Lemma is a classical result in language theory allowing the computation of a rational expression denoting the language recognized by a finite string automaton. In this paper we generalize this important lemma to the rational tree…
We discuss the problems of incompleteness and inexpressibility. We introduce almost self-referential formulas, use them to extend set theory, and relate their expressive power to that of infinitary logic. We discuss the nature of proper…
We consider some special type extensions of an arbitrary Lie algebra, which we call universal extensions. We show that these extensions are in one-to-one correspondence with finite dimensional associative commutative algebras. We also…
We prove an extension of the Thue-Vinogradov Lemma and show some applications. This paper is another example for the application of the polynomial method.
The basic method of rewriting for words in a free monoid given a monoid presentation is extended to rewriting for paths in a free category given a `Kan extension presentation'. This is related to work of Carmody-Walters on the Todd-Coxeter…
An extension of the Wigner-Araki-Yanase theorem to multiplicative conserved quantities is presented and approximate versions of the theorem are discussed.
An algebraic left Kan extension is a left Kan extension which interacts well with the algebraic structure present in the given situation, and these appear in various subjects such as the homotopy theory of operads and in the study of…
The existence of adjoints to algebraic functors between categories of models of Lawvere theories follows from finite-product-preservingness surviving left Kan extension. A result along these lines was proved in Appendix 2 of Brian Day's…
Whereas formal category theory is classically considered within a $2$-category, in this paper a double-dimensional approach is taken. More precisely we develop such theory within the setting of augmented virtual double categories, a notion…
With quantaloids carefully constructed from multi-adjoint frames, it is shown that multi-adjoint concept lattices, multi-adjoint property-oriented concept lattices and multi-adjoint object-oriented concept lattices are derivable from Isbell…
For an oriented knot $K$, we construct a functor from the category of pointed quandles to the category of quandles in three different ways. We also extend the quandle cocycle invariants of knots by using these quandle-valued invariant of…
In category theory, the use of string diagrams is well known to aid in the intuitive understanding of certain concepts, particularly when dealing with adjunctions and monoidal categories. We show that string diagrams are also useful in…
It is shown that every two-variable adjunction in categories enriched in a commutative quantale serves as a base for constructing Isbell adjunctions between functor categories, and Kan adjunctions are precisely Isbell adjunctions…
Recently, in weighted automata theory the weight structure of strong bimonoids has found much interest; they form a generalization of semirings and are closely related to near-semirings studied in algebra. Here, we define polynomials over a…
We give an introduction to the concept of Kan extensions, and study its relation with the notions of coend and adjoint functors. We state and prove in detail a well known formula to compute Kan extensions by using coends: a certain colimit…
We present a relative form of the Toponogov comparison theorem.
