We introduce Manifold tensor categories, which make precise the notion of a tensor category with a manifold of simple objects. A basic example is the category of vector spaces graded by a Lie group. Unlike classic tensor category theory,…
We show that indecomposable exact module categories over the category Rep H of representations of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H are classified by left comodule algebras, H-simple from the right and with trivial coinvariants, up to…
We describe absolutely ordered $p$-normed spaces, for $1 \le p \le \infty$ which presents a model for "non-commutative" vector lattices and includes order theoretic orthogonality. To demonstrate its relevance, we introduce the notion of…
We provide a reference for basic categorial properties of the categories of (possibly non-unital) $\mathbb{C}$-linear $*$-categories or $C^{*}$-categories, and (not necessarily unit-preserving) functors. Generalizing the classical case of…
This chapter lays out a framework for discussing (\ast)-structures on module-algebras over a Hopf (\ast)-algebra (H). We define a complex conjugation functor (V \mapsto \bar{V}), which is an involution on the module category (\hmod), and…
In the category \(\mathbf{V}\) of unital archimedean vector lattices, four notions of uniform completeness obtain. In all cases completeness requires the convergence of uniformly Cauchy sequences; the completions are distinguished by the…
We give an order-theoretic characterization of the essential image of the forgetful functor from the category of real/complex unital C*-algebras to the category of real/complex unital operator systems. It is based on the characterization of…
Representation theorems relate seemingly complex objects to concrete, more tractable ones. In this paper, we take advantage of the abstraction power of category theory and provide a general representation theorem for a wide class of…
We define the notion of exact completion with respect to an existential elementary doctrine. We observe that the forgetful functor from the 2-category exact categories to existential elementary doctrines has a left biadjoint that can be…
Let $ V$ be a braided tensor category and $ C$ a tensor category equipped with a braided tensor functor $G:V\to Z(C)$. For any exact indecomposable $C$-module category $M$, we explicitly construct a right adjoint of the action functor…
Various notions of joint majorization are examined in continuous matrix algebras. The relative strengths of these notions are established via proofs and examples. In addition, the closed convex hulls of joint unitary orbits are completely…
Skew-monoidal categories arise when the associator and the left and right units of a monoidal category are, in a specific way, not invertible. We prove that the closed skew-monoidal structures on the category of right R-modules are…
We provide some background on the category of classifiable $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras, whose objects are infinite-dimensional, simple, separable, unital $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras that have finite nuclear dimension and satisfy the universal…
With the usual definition of a super Hilbert space and a super unitary representation, it is easy to show that there are lots of super Lie groups for which the left-regular representation is not super unitary. I will argue that weakening…
We give some new examples of Frobenius objects in the category of sets and relations $\textbf{Rel}$. One example is a groupoid with a twisted counit. Another example is the set of conjugacy classes of a group. We also classify Frobenius…
In this work we discuss the notion of observable - both quantum and classical - from a new point of view. In classical mechanics, an observable is represented as a function (measurable, continuous or smooth), whereas in (von Neumann's…
Uniform preorders are a class of combinatory representations of Set-indexed preorders that generalize Pieter Hofstra's basic relational objects. An indexed preorder is representable by a uniform preorder if and only if it has as generic…
We introduce the notion of homological systems $\Theta$ for triangulated categories. Homological systems generalize, on one hand, the notion of stratifying systems in module categories, and on the other hand, the notion of exceptional…
A concrete model of the free skew-monoidal category Fsk on a single generating object is obtained. The situation is clubbable in the sense of G.M. Kelly, so this allows a description of the free skew-monoidal category on any category. As…
By extending some classical results known for groups and skew braces, we define and investigate central series of cocommutative Hopf braces. Both left and right central series are defined using a $\star$-product that measures the difference…
