This paper is about skew monoidal tensored V-categories (= skew monoidal hommed V-actegories) and their categories of modules. A module over <M,*,R> is an algebra for the monad T = R * _ on M. We study in detail the skew monoidal structure…

We present here definitions and constructions basic for the theory of monoidal and tensor categories. We provide references to the original sources, whenever possible. Group-theoretical categories are used as examples

A general result relating skew monoidal structures and monads is proved. This is applied to quantum categories and bialgebroids. Ordinary categories are monads in the bicategory whose morphisms are spans between sets. Quantum categories…

Restriction categories were established to handle maps that are partially defined with respect to composition. Tensor topology realises that monoidal categories have an intrinsic notion of space, and deals with objects and maps that are…

In this paper, we show that there are infinitely many semisimple tensor (or monoidal) categories of rank two over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb F$.

The primary contribution of this paper is to give a formal, categorical treatment to Penrose's abstract tensor notation, in the context of traced symmetric monoidal categories. To do so, we introduce a typed, sum-free version of an abstract…

Given a small category $I$ and a closed symmetric monoidal category $\mm$, we show that the diagram category $\mm^I$ with the objectwise product is a closed symmetric monoidal category. We then prove that if $I$ is a Reedy category and…

To formalize calculations in linear algebra for the development of efficient algorithms and a framework suitable for functional programming languages and faster parallelized computations, we adopt an approach that treats elements of linear…

We give an alternate conception of string diagrams as labeled 1-dimensional oriented cobordisms, the operad of which we denote by Cob/O, where O is the set of string labels. The axioms of traced (symmetric monoidal) categories are fully…

We develop the Morita theory of fusion 2-categories. In order to do so, we begin by proving that the relative tensor product of modules over a separable algebra in a fusion 2-category exists. We use this result to construct the Morita…

In this paper we describe a homotopy torsion theory in the category of small symmetric monoidal categories. Thanks to the use of natural isomorphisms as basis for the nullhomotopy structure, this homotopy torsion theory enjoys some…

Over an arbitrary field, we prove that the relative 2-Deligne tensor product of two separable module 2-categories over a compact semisimple tensor 2-category exists. This allows us to consider the Morita 4-category of compact semisimple…

We introduce the notion of the quotient of a category $C$ by the action $A : M \longrightarrow C \times C$ of a unital symmetric monoidal category $M$. The quotient $C/M$ is a 2-category. We prove its existence and uniqueness by first…

We consider the composition product of symmetric sequences in the case where the underlying symmetric monoidal structure does not commute with coproducts. Even though this composition product is not a monoidal structure on symmetric…

In previous work we proved that, for categories of free finite-dimensional modules over a commutative semiring, linear compact-closed symmetric monoidal structure is a property, rather than a structure. That is, if there is such a…

This semi-expository work covers central aspects of the theory of relative tensor products as developed in Higher Algebra, as well as their application to Koszul duality for algebras in monoidal oo-categories. Part of our goal is to expand…

Actions of monoidal categories on categories, also known as actegories, have been familiar to category theorists for a long time, and yet a comprehensive overview of this topic seems to be missing from the literature. Recently, actegories…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a small category, and suppose that we are given a full subcategory $\mathcal{U}$ such that every object of $\mathcal{S}$ can be embedded into some object of $\mathcal{U}$ in the same way as every quasi-projective…

This article shows that the units of a skew monoidal category are unique up to a unique isomorphism, and internalises this fact to skew monoidales. Some benefits of certain extra structure on the unit maps are also discussed before the…

We introduce the tensor product of polygonal cell complexes, which interacts nicely with the tensor product of link graphs of complexes. We also develop the unique factorization property of polygonal cell complexes with respect to the…
