In this paper we introduce the theory of ends and coends in the context of enriched bicategories. This will be an enriched version of the theory introduced in [Cor16], and a bicategorical version of the classical theory of enriched…
A standard result from the theory of Grothendieck fibrations states that if $p : E \to B$ is a fibration, then $E$ has limits of shape $\mathcal{J}$ if $B$ has limits of shape $\mathcal{J}$ the fibers of $\mathcal{E}$ have limits of shape…
Abstract inner automorphisms can be used to promote any category into a 2-category, and we study two-dimensional limits and colimits in the resulting 2-categories. Existing connected colimits and limits in the starting category become…
We develop a notion of limit for dagger categories, that we show is suitable in the following ways: it subsumes special cases known from the literature; dagger limits are unique up to unitary isomorphism; a wide class of dagger limits can…
The theory of monads on categories equipped with a dagger (a contravariant identity-on-objects involutive endofunctor) works best when everything respects the dagger: the monad and adjunctions should preserve the dagger, and the monad and…
We prove a result of equivalence invariance of formal category theory for statements that can be expressed within an equipment. To do this, we exploit Henry and Bardomiano Mart\'inez's link between Makkai's FOLDS (first order logic with…
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…
In this note, we explain in some detail how one can fiberwise localize a (co)lax symmetric monoidal infinity-category. This construction was tacitly used in Section 5 of our recent paper "On the equivalence of the Lurie's infinity-operads…
We make use of a higher version of the Yoneda embedding to construct, from a given quasicategory, a tribe, as a subcategory of a well-behaved simplicial model category, that presents the same $(\infty,1)$-category as the former…
In [8] we proved that any categorical group defines a c-crossed module, which is a cssc-crossed module defined in the same paper. In [9] we constructed a categorical group for any cssc-crossed module. In the presented paper we prove that…
Anchored planar algebras, a generalized notion of Vaughan Jones' planar algebras, have recently seen use in higher category theory, functional analysis, and TQFT applications. These algebras are equipped with a natural 3-dimensional…
Applied category theory often studies symmetric monoidal categories (SMCs) whose morphisms represent open systems. These structures naturally accommodate complex wiring patterns, leveraging (co)monoidal structures for splitting and merging…
Given a functor $F: \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D}$ and a model-theoretic independence relation on $\mathcal{D}$, we can lift that independence relation along $F$ to $\mathcal{C}$ by declaring a commuting square in $\mathcal{C}$ to be…
We show how the relatively initial or relatively terminal fixed points for a well-behaved functor $F$ form a pair of adjoint functors between $F$-coalgebras and $F$-algebras. We use the language of locally presentable categories to find…
We suggest two approaches to a definition of unitarity for pseudonatural transformations between unitary pseudofunctors on pivotal dagger 2-categories. The first is to require that the 2-morphism components of the transformation be unitary.…
Topos theory occupies a singular place in contemporary mathematics: born from Grothendieck's algebraic geometry, it has emerged as a unifying language for geometry, topology, algebra, and logic. This book offers a progressive introduction…
After reviewing the multiple roles of toposes - as generalized topological spaces, as universal invariants, as categorical analogues of the set-theoretic universe, and as semantic environments for first-order theories - we recall the notion…
We study the fusion 3-categorical symmetries for quantum theories in (3+1)d with self-duality defects. Such defects have been realized physically by half-space gauging in theories with 1-form symmetries $A[1]$ for an abelian group $A$, and…
We investigate the notion of involutive weak cubical $\omega$-categories via Penon's approach: as algebras for the monad induced by the free involutive strict $\omega$-category functor on cubical $\omega$-sets. A few examples of involutive…
We give an algebraic characterisation of ordered groupoids, namely, we show that there is a categorical isomophism between the category of ordered groupoids and the category of $D$-inverse constellations. Here constellations are partial…
