We construct a category, $\Omega$, of which the objects are pointed categories and the arrows are pointed correspondences. The notion of a "spec datum" is introduced, as a certain relation between categories, of which one has been given a…

We consider two endofunctors of the form $~F:X\longrightarrow M\otimes X~$, where $~M~$ is a non degenerate module, related to the unit interval and the Sierpinski gasket, and their final co-algebras. The functors are defined on the…

This paper contributes to a theory of the behaviour of "finite-state" systems that is generic in the system type. We propose that such systems are modeled as coalgebras with a finitely generated carrier for an endofunctor on a locally…

As far as we know no notion of concreteness for fibrations exists. We introduce such a notion and discuss some basic results about it.

A recollement is a decomposition of a given category (abelian or triangulated) into two subcategories with functorial data that enables the glueing of structural information. This paper is dedicated to investigating the behaviour under…

This paper is about a correspondence between monoidal structures in categories and $n$-fold loop spaces. We develop a new syntactical technique whose role is to substitute the coherence results, which were the main ingredients in the proofs…

In this paper, we obtain a non-abelian analogue of Lubkin's embedding theorem for abelian categories. Our theorem faithfully embeds any small regular Mal'tsev category $\mathbb{C}$ in an $n$-th power of a particular locally finitely…

In this paper we consider simplicial families, that is, simplicial objects indexed by a simplicial set. We develop a method to construct family hypercover refinements of a cover family based on the notion of \emph{n-spans} that we introduce…

Electrical circuits made only of perfectly conductive wires can be seen as partitions between finite sets. These are also known as "corelations" and are the morphisms in the category $\mathrm{FinCorel}$. The two-element set has two…

In this article, we develop a notion of Quillen bifibration which combines the two notions of Grothendieck bifibration and of Quillen model structure. In particular, given a bifibration $p:\mathcal E\to\mathcal B$, we describe when a family…

We develop further the theory of weak factorization systems and algebraic weak factorization systems. In particular, we give a method for constructing (algebraic) weak factorization systems whose right maps can be thought of as (uniform)…

We develop further the theory of operads and analytic functors. In particular, we introduce a bicategory that has operads as 0-cells, operad bimodules as 1-cells and operad bimodule maps as 2-cells, and prove that this bicategory is…

We investigate the notion of involutive weak globular $\omega$-categories via Jacque Penon's approach. In particular, we give the constructions of a free self-dual globular $\omega$-magma, of a free strict involutive globular…

String diagrams turn algebraic equations into topological moves that have recurring shapes, involving the sliding of one diagram past another. We individuate, at the root of this fact, the dual nature of polygraphs as presentations of…

We associate, in a functorial way, a monoidal bicategory $\mathsf{Span}| \mathcal V$ to any monoidal bicategory $\mathcal V$. Two examples of this construction are of particular interest: Hopf polyads (due to Brugui\`eres) can be seen as…

We introduce fibred type-theoretic fibration categories which are fibred categories between categorical models of Martin-L\"{o}f type theory. Fibred type-theoretic fibration categories give a categorical description of logical predicates…

We give geometric characterisations of patch and Lawson topologies in the context of predicative point-free topology using the constructive notion of located subset. We present the patch topology of a stably locally compact formal topology…

If $\mathbf{C}$ is a category with pullbacks then there is a bicategory with the same objects as $\mathbf{C}$, spans as morphisms, and maps of spans as 2-morphisms, as shown by Benabou. Fong has developed a theory of "decorated" cospans,…

Categories of polymorphic lenses in computer science, and of open games in compositional game theory, have a curious structure that is reminiscent of compact closed categories, but differs in some crucial ways. Specifically they have a…

We construct a localization for operads with respect to one-ary operations based on the Dwyer-Kan hammock localization. For an operad O and a sub-monoid of one-ary operations W we associate an operad LO and a canonical map O to LO which…
