We show that under mild conditions on the monoidal base category $\mathcal V$, the category ${\sf VHopf}$ of Hopf $\mathcal V$-categories is locally presentable and deduce the existence of free and cofree Hopf categories. We also provide an…
The Balmer spectrum of a monoidal triangulated category is an important geometric construction which is closely related to the problem of classifying thick tensor ideals. We prove that the forgetful functor from the Drinfeld center of a…
Fo-bicategories are a categorification of Peirce's calculus of relations. Notably, their laws provide a proof system for first-order logic that is both purely equational and complete. This paper illustrates a correspondence between…
We build on a recent result stating that the frame $\mathsf{SE}(L)$ of strongly exact filters for a frame $L$ is anti-isomorphic to the coframe $\mathsf{S}_o(L)$ of fitted sublocales. The collection $\mathsf{E}(L)$ of exact filters of $L$…
Translating notions and results from category theory to the theory of computability models of Longley and Normann, we introduce the Grothendieck computability model and the first-projection-simulation. We prove some basic properties of the…
Motivated by the problem of classifying quantum symmetries of non-semisimple, finite-dimensional associative algebras, we define a notion of connection between bounded quivers and build a bicategory of bounded quivers and quiver…
If a locally cartesian closed category carries a weak factorisation system, then the left maps are stable under pullback along right maps if and only if the right maps are closed under pushforward along right maps. We refer to this…
We prove that a certain $\omega$-category, which was constructed in previous work by the third and fourth author, is a model for the fully coherent walking $\omega$-equivalence. Further, appropriate truncations of it give models for the…
Matrix properties are a type of property of categories which includes the ones of being Mal'tsev, arithmetical, majority, unital, strongly unital and subtractive. Recently, an algorithm has been developed to determine implications…
We show that the category of partially ordered sets $\mathsf{Pos}$ is equivalent to the free conservative cocompletion of the category of finite non-empty totally ordered sets $\Delta$, which is also known as the simplex category.
We follow the work of Aguiar on internal categories and introduce simplicial objects internal to a monoidal category as certain colax monoidal functors. Then we compare three approaches to equipping them with a discrete set of vertices. We…
These notes were originally developed as lecture notes for a category theory course. They should be well-suited to anyone that wants to learn category theory from scratch and has a scientific mind. There is no need to know advanced…
In this paper, we present a generalization of Grothendieck pretopologies -- suited for semicartesian categories with equalizers $C$ -- leading to a closed monoidal category of sheaves, instead of closed cartesian category. This is proved…
We show that the essential properties of entropy (monotonicity, additivity and subadditivity) are consequences of entropy being a monoidal natural transformation from the under category functor $-/\mathsf{LProb}_{\rho}$ (where…
In cryptography, encryption is the process of obscuring information to make it unreadable without special knowledge. This is usually done for secrecy, and typically for confidential communications. Encryption can also be used for…
We introduce dependent adders. A dependent adder $A$ has for every $x \in A$ a way of adding together $x$ many elements of $A$. We provide examples from many disparate branches of mathematics. Examples include the field with one element…
One way of interpreting a left Kan extension is as taking a kind of "partial colimit", whereby one replaces parts of a diagram by their colimits. We make this intuition precise by means of the "partial evaluations" sitting in the so-called…
We universally characterize the produoidal category of monoidal lenses over a monoidal category. In the same way that each category induces a cofree promonoidal category of spliced arrows, each monoidal category induces a cofree produoidal…
Tangent categories provide a categorical axiomatization of the tangent bundle. There are many interesting examples and applications of tangent categories in a variety of areas such as differential geometry, algebraic geometry, algebra, and…
It is shown that the duals of several categories of topological flavour, like the categories of ordered sets, generalised metric spaces, probabilistic metric spaces, topological spaces, approach spaces, are quasivarieties, presenting a…
