Rings form a bicategory [Rings], with classes of bimodules as horizontal arrows, and bimodule maps as vertical arrows. The notion of Morita equivalence for rings can be translated in terms of bicategories in the following way. Two rings are…
We show that certain lamplighter groups that are quasi-isometric to each other are not bilipschitz equivalent. This gives a positive answer to a question in Topics in Geometric Group Theory by Pierre de la Harpe (page 107).
We associate to a bimonoidal functor, i.e. a bifunctor which is monoidal in each variable, a nonabelian version of a biextension. We show that such a biextension satisfies additional triviality conditions which make it a bilinear analog of…
Extriangulated categories axiomatize extension-closed subcategories of triangulated categories. We show that the homotopy category of an exact quasi-category can be equipped with a natural extriangulated structure.
We construct a (lax) Gray tensor product of $(\infty,2)$-categories and characterize it via a model-independent universal property. Namely, it is the unique monoidal biclosed structure on the $\infty$-category of $(\infty,2)$-categories…
We prove a generalised interchange equality for 3-cells in a Gray-category, i.e. we show that it still holds modulo the unique isomorphism given by the Gray-categorical pasting theorem of Di Vittorio. This significantly simplifies many…
For a finite group G, we introduce the complete suboperad $Q_G$ of the categorical G-Barratt-Eccles operad $P_G$. We prove that $P_G$ is not finitely generated, but $Q_G$ is finitely generated and is a genuine $E_\infty$ G-operad (i.e., it…
We show that there are Cayley automatic groups that are not Cayley biautomatic. In addition, we show that there are Cayley automatic groups with undecidable Conjugacy Problem and that the Isomorphism Problem is undecidable in the clas of…
We provide three functorial extensions of the equivalence between localic etale groupoids and their quantales. The main result is a biequivalence between the bicategory of localic etale groupoids, with bi-actions as 1-cells, and a…
Every finite, self-dual, regular (or chiral) 4-polytope of type {3,q,3} has a trivalent 3-transitive (or 2-transitive) medial layer graph. Here, by dropping self-duality, we obtain a construction for semisymmetric trivalent graphs (which…
Let T be a triangulated category with coproducts, C the full subcategory of compact objects in T. If T is the homotopy category of spectra, Adams proved the following in [Adams71]: All contravariant homological functors C --> Ab are the…
We prove an equivalence between the derived category of a variety and the equivariant/graded singularity category of a corresponding singular variety. The equivalence also holds at the dg level.
The category O of BGG can be thought of as a category of sheaves over the flag variety F in the sense that the algebra E of self-extensions of the trivial object of O is isomorphic to the cohomology algebra of the flag variety. A…
Among right-closed monoidal categories with finite coproducts, we characterise those with finite biproducts as being precisely those in which the initial object and the coproduct of the unit with itself admit right duals. This generalises…
Let $\widehat{\mathbb{F}\mathbb{S}et}$ be the groupoid of finite sets and bijections between them equipped with the canonical symmetric rig category structure given by the disjoint union and the cartesian product of finite sets. We prove…
Objects dual to graded algebras are subproduct systems of linear spaces, a purely algebraic counterpart of a notion introduced recently in the context of noncommutative dynamics (Shalit and Solel, Bhat and Mukherjee). A complete…
In this work, we conclude our study of fibred $\infty$-bicategories by providing a Grothendieck construction in this setting. Given a scaled simplicial set $S$ (which need not be fibrant) we construct a 2-categorical version of Lurie's…
A nut graph is a simple graph whose adjacency matrix has the eigenvalue zero with multiplicity one such that its corresponding eigenvector has no zero entries. It is known that there exist no cubic circulant nut graphs. A bicirculant (resp.…
There are different categorical approaches to variations of transition systems and their bisimulations. One is coalgebra for a functor G, where a bisimulation is defined as a span of G-coalgebra homomorphism. Another one is in terms of path…
It is well known that rings are the objects of a bicategory, whose arrows are bimodules, composed through the bimodule tensor product. We give an analogous bicategorical description of C*-algebras, von Neumann algebras, Lie groupoids,…
