We study algebraic aspects of generalized Legendrian racks, which are nonassociative structures based on the Legendrian Reidemeister moves. We answer an open question characterizing the group of GL-structures on a given rack. As…

We investigate when the categories of all rational $A$-modules and of finite dimensional rational modules are closed under extensions inside the category of $C^*$-modules, where $C^*$ is the cofinite topological completion of $A$. We give a…

A rack of order $n$ is a binary operation $\rack$ on a set $X$ of cardinality $n$, such that right multiplication is an automorphism. More precisely, $(X,\rack)$ is a rack provided that the map $x\mapsto x\rack y$ is a bijection for all…

This paper is a contribution to the study of extensions of arbitrary models of ZF (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory), with no regard to countability or well-foundedness of the models involved. We present some new constructions of certain types…

A full subcategory of modules over a commutative ring $R$ is wide if it is abelian and closed under extensions. Hovey \cite{wide} gave a classification of wide subcategories of finitely presented modules over regular coherent rings in terms…

We consider Abelian extensions of global symmetries of the form $A \to G \to K$, with $A$ finite (and similar higher-group structures). For a quantum field theory $\mathcal{T}$ with symmetry $G$, we compare gauging $G$ directly with gauging…

A multiple conjugation quandle is an algebra whose axioms are motivated from handlebody-knot theory. Any linear extension of a multiple conjugation quandle can be described by using a pair of maps called an MCQ Alexander pair. In this…

We introduce and develop the notion of scalar extension for abelian categories. Given a field extension F'/F, to every F-linear abelian category A satisfying a suitable finiteness condition we associate an F'-linear abelian category A' and…

In this paper we study some algebraic properties of the rack structure as well as the representation theory of it, following the ideas given by M. Elhamdadi and E. M. Moutuou in \cite{Elhamdadi}. We establish a correspondence between the…

A gauge theory is associated with a principal bundle endowed with a connection permitting to define horizontal lifts of paths. The horizontal lifts of surfaces cannot be defined into a principal bundle structure. An higher gauge theory is…

We describe the geometrical ladder of equations for Abelian bundles and gerbes, as well as higher generalisations, in terms of the cohomology of an operator that combines de Rham and Cech cohomology.

We pursue the study of Ultracategories initiated by Makkai and more recently Lurie by looking at properties of Ultracategories of complete metric structures, i.e. coming from continuous model theory, instead of ultracategories of models of…

A quandle is an algebra whose axioms are motivated from knot theory. A linear extension of a quandle can be described by using a pair of maps called an Alexander pair. In this paper, we show that a linear extension of a multiple conjugation…

We develop general foundations of topological algebra over a linearly topologized ring k in a format applicable to both formal schemes and analytic adic spaces. We are especially interested in determining exact closed tensor categories of…

Three new knot invariants are defined using cocycles of the generalized quandle homology theory that was proposed by Andruskiewitsch and Gra\~na. We specialize that theory to the case when there is a group action on the coefficients. First,…

We introduce a modified rack algebra Z[X] for racks X with finite rack rank N. We use representations of Z[X] into rings, known as rack modules, to define enhancements of the rack counting invariant for classical and virtual knots and…

A continuous cohomology theory for topological quandles is introduced, and compared to the algebraic theories. Extensions of topological quandles are studied with respect to continuous 2-cocycles, and used to show the differences in second…

We prove, under some mild hypothesis, that an \'etale cover of curves defined over a number field has infinitely many specializations into an everywhere unramified extension of number fields. This constitutes an "absolute" version of the…

This article surveys many aspects of the theory of quandles which algebraically encode the Reidemeister moves. In addition to knot theory, quandles have found applications in other areas which are only mentioned in passing here. The main…
