In this paper, we give a novel abstract description of Szabo's polycategories. We use the theory of double clubs -- a generalisation of Kelly's theory of clubs to `pseudo' (or `weak') double categories -- to construct a pseudo-distributive…

As an example of the categorical apparatus of pseudo algebras over 2-theories, we show that pseudo algebras over the 2-theory of categories can be viewed as pseudo double categories with folding or as appropriate 2-functors into…

We discuss generalised duality theory for monoidal categories and its applications to the categories of exact endofunctors, graded vector spaces, and topological vector spaces.

We characterize virtual double categories of enriched categories, functors, and profunctors by introducing a new notion of double-categorical colimits. Our characterization is strict in the sense that it is up to equivalence between virtual…

We define the notion of duality categories as generalization of duality groups. Two examples are treated. The first is the Serre duality in the categories of strict polynomial functors. The second concerns finite complexes. We show in…

We have generalised the notion of categorical theory in model theory to the context of coherent theories. We prove a duality result between the full sub-2-category of pretopoi which are categorical, and the 2-category of profinite monoids.…

Many structures of interest in two-dimensional category theory have aspects that are inherently strict. This strictness is not a limitation, but rather plays a fundamental role in the theory of such structures. For instance, a monoidal…

We demonstrate that companionships and conjunctions in double $\infty$-categories -- and more generally, in double Segal spaces -- extend to functors out of the free-living companionship and conjunction respectively. Specifically, we prove…

In this thesis, we introduce Cartesian double categories, motivated by the work of Carboni, Kelly, Walters, and Wood on Cartesian bicategories. Moving from bicategories to the slightly more generalized notion of double categories allows us…

Clubs of rank k are well-celebrated objects in finite geometries introduced by Fancsali and Sziklai in 2006. After the connection with a special type of arcs known as KM-arcs, they renewed their interest. This paper aims to study clubs of…

We define 2-categories of microlocal perverse (resp. coherent) sheaves of categories on the skeleton of a hypertoric variety and show that the generators of these 2-categories lift the projectives (resp. simples) in hypertoric category…

For a category B with finite products, we first characterize pseudofunctors from B to Cat whose corresponding opfibration is cartesian monoidal. Among those, we then characterize the ones which extend to pseudofunctors from internal groups…

We show how non-symmetric operads (or multicategories), symmetric operads, and clones, arise from three suitable monads on Cat, each extending to a (pseudo-)monad on the bicategory of categories and profunctors. We also explain how other…

The categorified theories known as "doctrines" specify a category equipped with extra structure, analogous to how ordinary theories specify a set with extra structure. We introduce a new framework for doctrines based on double category…

Categorical structures and their pseudomaps rarely form locally presentable 2-categories in the sense of Cat-enriched category theory. However, we show that if the categorical structure in question is sufficiently weak (such as the…

A double category is constructed from a `fattened' version of a given category, motivated in part by a context of parallel transport. We also study monoidal structures on the underlying category and on the fattened category.

The notion of retrocell in a double category with companions is introduced and its basic properties established. Explicit descriptions in some of the usual double categories are given. Monads in a double category provide an important…

We give a definition of an operad with general groups of equivariance suitable for use in any symmetric monoidal category with appropriate colimits. We then apply this notion to study the 2-category of algebras over an operad in Cat. We…

Prolongations of a group extension can be studied in a more general situation that we call group extensions of the co-type of a crossed module. Cohomology classification of such extensions is obtained by applying the obstruction theory of…

We develop the theory of tricategorical limits and colimits, and show that they can be modelled up to biequivalence via certain homotopically well-behaved limits and colimits enriched over the monoidal model category $\mathbf{Gray}$ of…
