We introduce two families of diagrammatic monoidal supercategories. The first family, depending on an associative superalgebra, generalizes the oriented Brauer category. The second, depending on an involutive superalgebra, generalizes the…

Categories, n-categories, double categories, and multicategories (among others) all have similar definitions as collections of cells with composition operations. We give an explicit description of the information required to define any…

We show that the class of profinite duality groups is closed under group extensions provided that the kernel satisfies some finiteness condition. This extends earlier results of Pletch and of Wingberg.

We study Quillen model categories equipped with a monoidal skew closed structure that descends to a genuine monoidal closed structure on the homotopy category. Our examples are 2-categorical and include permutative categories and…

We give a general notion of combinatory completeness with respect to a faithful cartesian club and use it systematically to obtain characterisations of a number of different kinds of applicative system. Each faithful cartesian club…

We define duality triples and duality pairs in compactly generated triangulated categories and investigate their properties. This enables us to give an elementary way to determine whether a class is closed under pure subobjects, pure…

The category of double categories and double functors is equipped with a symmetric closed monoidal structure. For any double category $\mathbb A$, the corresponding internal hom functor $|[ \mathbb A,-]|$ sends a double category $\mathbb B$…

We consider the canonical pseudodistributive law between various free limit completion pseudomonads and the free coproduct completion pseudomonad. When the class of limits includes pullbacks, we show that this consideration leads to notions…

We classify the module categories over the double (possibly twisted) of a finite group.

We adapt the notion of an algebraic theory to work in the setting of quasicategories developed recently by Joyal and Lurie. We develop the general theory at some length. We study one extended example in detail: the theory of commutative…

We study 2-monads and their algebras using a Cat-enriched version of Quillen model categories, emphasizing the parallels between the homotopical and 2-categorical points of view. Every 2-category with finite limits and colimits has a…

We define a monoidal semantics for algebraic theories. The basis for the definition is provided by the analysis of the structural rules in the term calculus of algebraic languages. Models are described both explicitly, in a form that…

We develop an explicit covering theory for complexes of groups, parallel to that developed for graphs of groups by Bass. Given a covering of developable complexes of groups, we construct the induced monomorphism of fundamental groups and…

This paper introduces the category of marked curved Lie algebras with curved morphisms, equipping it with a closed model category structure. This model structure is---when working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic…

This note informally describes a way to build certain cubical n-categories by iterating a process of taking models of certain finite limits theories. We base this discussion on a construction of "double bicategories" as bicategories…

It is well-known that pseudo functors from bicategories of spans are equivalent to Beck-Chevalley bifibrations, and therefore capture the relationships underlying the adjunctions suitable as semantics for existential quantification. This…

We form tricategories and the homomorphisms between them into a bicategory, whose 2-cells are certain degenerate tritransformations. We then enrich this bicategory into an example of a three-dimensional structure called a locally cubical…

We present a unified framework for categorical systems theory which packages a collection of open systems, their interactions, and their maps into a symmetric monoidal loose right module of systems over a symmetric monoidal double category…

The cartesian structure possessed by relations, spans, profunctors, and other such morphisms is elegantly expressed by universal properties in double categories. Though cartesian double categories were inspired in part by the older program…

Polynomials in a category have been studied as a generalization of the traditional notion in mathematics. Their construction has recently been extended to higher groupoids, as formalized in homotopy type theory, by Finster, Mimram, Lucas…
