In this paper, we develop the theory for classifying all the geometric fibrations of compact, connected, flat $n$-orbifolds, over a 1-orbifold, up to affine equivalence. We apply our classification theory to classify all the geometric…

We study the notion of a bifibration in simplicial sets which generalizes the classical notion of two-sided discrete fibration studied in category theory. If $A$ and $B$ are simplicial sets we equip the category of simplicial sets over…

Cofibrations are defined in the category of Fr\"olicher spaces by weakening the analog of the classical definition to enable smooth homotopy extensions to be more easily constructed, using flattened unit intervals. We later relate smooth…

In a previous paper [1] [MR4101040], we initiated a systematic study of semihypergroups and had a thorough discussion about some important analytic and algebraic objects associated to this class of objects. In this paper, we investigate…

Diagrammatic sets are presheaves on a rich category of shapes, whose definition is motivated by combinatorial topology and higher-dimensional diagram rewriting. These shapes include representatives of oriented simplices, cubes, and positive…

We characterise when the pure monomorphisms in a presheaf category $\mathbf{Set}^\mathcal{C}$ are cofibrantly generated in terms of the category $\mathcal{C}$. In particular, when $\mathcal{C}$ is a monoid $S$ this characterises cofibrant…

A model structure on the category of (small) bigroupoids and pseudofunctors is constructed. In this model structure, every object is cofibrant. In order to keep certain calculations of manageable size, a coherence theorem for bigroupoids…

We show that the category of simplicial sets is a co-reflective subcategory of the category of cubical sets with connections, with the inclusion given by a version of the straightening functor. We show that using the co-reflector, one can…

Polygraphs are a higher-dimensional generalization of the notion of directed graph. Based on those as unifying concept, this monograph on polygraphs revisits the theory of rewriting in the context of strict higher categories, adopting the…

We develop the notion of the composition of two coalgebras, which arises naturally in higher category theory and in the theory of species. We prove that the composition of two cofree coalgebras is again cofree, and we give sufficient…

We establish that a category of fibrant objects (in the sense of Brown) admits a Dwyer-Kan homotopical calculus of right fractions. This is done using a homotopical calculus of cocycles, which is an auxiliary structure that can be defined…

There are Quillen equivalent Thomason model structures on the category of small categories, the category of small acyclic categories and the category of posets. These share the property that cofibrant objects are posets. In fact, they share…

In this paper, we will explicitly construct cofree coalgebras, by first constructing cofree precoalgebras (namely those not necessarily coassociative or counital). Our approach does not impose any condition to the coefficient ring, which…

A free Steiner quasigroup is a free object in the variety of Steiner quasigroups. Free Steiner quasigroups are characterised by the existence of a levelled construction that starts with a free base - that is, a set of elements none of which…

Let H be a finite dimensional Hopf algebra over a field k and A an H-module algebra over k. Khovanov and Qi defined acyclic objects and quasi-isomorphisms by using null-homotopy and contractible objects. They also defined the cofibrant…

Hypergraph categories have been rediscovered at least five times, under various names, including well-supported compact closed categories, dgs-monoidal categories, and dungeon categories. Perhaps the reason they keep being reinvented is…

For a cofibrantly generated Quillen model category, we show that the cofibrant replacement functor constructed using the small object argument admits a cotriple structure. If all acyclic cofibrations are monomorphisms, the fibrant…
