The existence of adjoints to algebraic functors between categories of models of Lawvere theories follows from finite-product-preservingness surviving left Kan extension. A result along these lines was proved in Appendix 2 of Brian Day's…

We establish, by elementary means, the existence of a cofibrantly generated monoidal model structure on the category of operads. By slicing over a suitable operad the classical Rezk model structure on the category of small categories is…

In this paper, we study cryptography from a geometrical viewpoint. Let N be a network, we endow N with a natural Grothendieck topology. We use geometric representations of cohomological classes to define encryptions protocols. Link to link…

We establish, generalizing Di Nola and Lettieri's categorical equivalence, a Morita-equivalence between the theory of lattice-ordered abelian groups and that of perfect MV-algebras. Further, after observing that the two theories are not…

We give a recursive formula to compute the cofree coalgebra P^\vee(C) over any colored operad P in Set, CGHaus or (dg)Vect. The construction is closed to that of Smith but different. We use a more conceptual approach to simplify the proofs…

We define a convenient $\infty$-operad parametrizing modules over commutative algebras in $\infty$-categories.

We define the notion of right $n$-angulated category, which generalizes the notion of right triangulated category. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an additive category or $n$-angulated category and $\mathcal{X}$ a covariantly finite subcategory, we…

We define mutation pair in an n-angulated category and prove that given such a mutation pair, the corresponding quotient category carries a natural n-angulated structure. This result generalizes a theorem of Iyama-Yoshino in classical…

In this technical note, we proffer a very explicit construction of the "dual cocartesian fibration" $p^{\vee}$ of a cartesian fibration $p$, and we show they are classified by the same functor to $\mathbf{Cat}_{\infty}$.

In this paper we give an expository account of quasistrict symmetric monoidal 2-categories, as introduced by Schommer-Pries. We reformulate the definition using a graphical calculus called wire diagrams, which facilitates computations and…

If for a vector space V of dimension g over a characteristic zero field we denote by $\wedge^iV$ its alternating powers, and by $V^\vee$ its linear dual, then there are natural Poincar\'e isomorphisms: $\wedge^i V^\vee \cong \wedge^{g-i}…

Lada introduced strong homotopy algebras to describe the structures on a deformation retract of an algebra in topological spaces. However, there is no satisfactory general definition of a morphism of strong homotopy (s.h.) algebras. Given a…

We develop a theory of twisted actions of categorical groups using a notion of semidirect product of categories. We work through numerous examples to demonstrate the power of these notions. Turning to representations, which are actions that…

Any functor from the category of C*-algebras to the category of locales that assigns to each commutative C*-algebra its Gelfand spectrum must be trivial on algebras of nxn-matrices for n at least 3. This obstruction also applies to other…

We study the subgroup $\mathcal{E}xt^i_{\mathcal{C}}(\mathcal{F}; C, D)$ of $\mathcal{E}xt^i_{\mathcal{C}}(C,D)$ formed by those $i$-extensions of $C$ by $D$ in an Abelian category $\mathcal{C}$ which are ${\rm…

We study the difference between internal categories and internal groupoids in terms of generalised Mal'tsev properties---the weak Mal'tsev property on the one hand, and $n$-permutability on the other. In the first part of the article we…

Given Gray-categories $P$ and $L$, there is a Gray-category $\mathrm{Tricat}_{\mathrm{ls}}(P,L)$ of locally strict trihomomorphisms with domain $P$ and codomain $L$, tritransformations, trimodifications, and perturbations. If the domain $P$…

Let $\mathcal C$ be closed symmetric monoidal Grothendieck category. We define the pure derived category with respect to the monoidal structure via a relative injective model category structure on the category $\mathbf{C}(\mathcal C)$ of…

For topological spaces $X$ and $Y$, a (not necessarily continuous) function $f:X \rightarrow Y$ naturally induces a functor from the category of closed subsets of $X$ (with morphisms given by inclusions) to the category of closed subsets of…

We extend some properties of pullbacks which are known to hold in a Mal'tsev context to the more general context of Gumm categories. The varieties of universal algebras which are Gumm categories are precisely the congruence modular ones.…
