We show that every unitarizable fusion category, and more generally every semisimple C*-tensor category, admits a unique unitary structure. Our proof is based on a categorified polar decomposition theorem for monoidal equivalences between…

We introduce a weakening of the notion of fusion 2-category given in arXiv:1812.11933. Then, we establish a number of properties of (multi)fusion 2-categories. Finally, we describe the fusion rule of the fusion 2-categories associated to…

We give a short proof for a well-known formula for the rank of a $G$-crossed braided extension of a modular tensor category.

One goal of applied category theory is to better understand networks appearing throughout science and engineering. Here we introduce "structured cospans" as a way to study networks with inputs and outputs. Given a functor $L \colon…

We investigate cases where the finite dual coalgebra of a twisted tensor product of two algebras is a cotwisted tensor product of their respective finite dual coalgebras. This is achieved by interpreting the finite dual as a topological…

We compare closed and rigid monoidal categories. Closedness is defined by the tensor product having a right adjoint: the internal hom functor. Rigidity, on the other hand, generalises the duality of finite-dimensional vector spaces. In the…

The notion of semi-unital semi-monoidal category was defined a couple of years ago using the so called "Takahashi tensor product" and so far, the only example of it in the literature is complex. In this paper, we use the recently defined…

Given an operad $\mathcal{O}$, we define a notion of weak $\mathcal{O}$-monoids -- which we term $\mathcal{O}$-pseudomonoids -- in a 2-category. In the special case with the 2-category in question is the 2-category $\mathsf{Cat}$ of…

In this paper, we state and prove precise theorems on the classification of the category of (braided) categorical groups and their (braided) monoidal functors, and some applications obtained from the basic studies on monoidal functors…

We construct an $(\infty,2)$-version of the (lax) Gray tensor product. On the 1-categorical level, this is a binary (or more generally an $n$-ary) functor on the category of $\Theta_2$-sets, and it is shown to be left Quillen with respect…

We study the braided monoidal structure that the fusion product induces on the abelian category $\mathcal{W}_p$-mod, the category of representations of the triplet $W$-algebra $\mathcal{W}_p$. The $\mathcal{W}_p$-algebras are a family of…

In arXiv:2211.04917, it was shown that, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, every fusion 2-category is Morita equivalent to a connected fusion 2-category, that is, one arising from a braided fusion 1-category. This…

We study monoidal categories that enjoy a certain weakening of the rigidity property, namely, the existence of a dualizing object in the sense of Grothendieck and Verdier. We call them Grothendieck-Verdier categories. Notable examples…

Let $F,G$ be bicomonads on a monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$. The aim of this paper is to discuss the smash coproducts of $F$ and $G$. As an application, the smash coproduct of Hom-bialgebras is discussed. Further, the Hom-entwining…

A pointed fusion category is a rigid tensor category with finitely many isomorphism classes of simple objects which moreover are invertible. Two tensor categories $C$ and $D$ are weakly Morita equivalent if there exists an indecomposable…

In here we define the concept of fibered symmetric bimonoidal categories. These are roughly speaking fibered categories D->C whose fibers are symmetric monoidal categories parametrized by C and such that both D and C have a further…

We define the Tannakian radical of a braided fusion category $\mathcal{C}$ as the intersection of its maximal Tannakian subcategories. The localization of $\mathcal{C}$ corresponding to the Tannakian radical, termed the mantle of…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a Leibniz algebra and $E$ a vector space containing $\mathfrak{g}$ as a subspace. All Leibniz algebra structures on $E$ containing $\mathfrak{g}$ as a subalgebra are explicitly described and classified by two…

We study right exact tensor products on the category of finitely presented functors. As our main technical tool, we use a multilinear version of the universal property of so-called Freyd categories. Furthermore, we compare our constructions…

We enlarge a Coxeter group into a category, with one object for each finite parabolic subgroup, encoding the combinatorics of double cosets. This category, the singular Coxeter monoid, is connected to the geometry of partial flag varieties.…
