This paper is a coalgebra version of arXiv:1703.04266 and a sequel to arXiv:1607.03066. We present the definition of a pseudo-dualizing complex of bicomodules over a pair of coassociative coalgebras $\mathcal C$ and $\mathcal D$. For any…

In this survey article, we give an introduction to the notion of a 2-Segal set and prove that 2-Segal sets are equivalent to pseudomonoids in the bicategory of spans. The proof utilizes graphical techniques for 2-Segal sets and spans that…

We introduce the notion of Kan injectivity in 2-categories and study its properties. For an adequate 2-category $\mathcal{K}$, we show that every set of morphisms $\mathcal{H}$ induces a KZ-pseudomonad on $\mathcal{K}$ whose 2-category of…

We provide a bicategorical generalization of Barr's landmark 1970 paper, in which he describes how to extend Set-monads to relations and uses this to characterize topological spaces as the relational algebras of the ultrafilter monad. With…

We construct a model structure on the category $\mathrm{DblCat}$ of double categories and double functors. Unlike previous model structures for double categories, it recovers the homotopy theory of 2-categories through the horizontal…

Khovanov-Lauda define a 2-category $\mathcal{U}$ such that the split Grothendieck group $K_0(\mathcal{U})$ is isomorphic to an integral version of the quantized universal enveloping algebra $\mathbf{U}(\mathfrak{sl}_n)$, $n \geq 2$.…

We develop the theory of strong and commutative monads in the 2-dimensional setting of bicategories. This provides a framework for the analysis of effects in many recent models which form bicategories and not categories, such as those based…

The notion of pseudocategory, as considered in [11], is extended from the context of a 2-category to the more general one of a sesquicategory, which is considered as a category equipped with a 2-cell structure. Some particular examples of…

We develop a ready-to-use comprehensive theory for (super) 2-vector bundles over smooth manifolds. It is based on the bicategory of (super) algebras, bimodules, and intertwiners as a model for 2-vector spaces. We discuss symmetric monoidal…

Many structured categories of interest are most naturally described as algebras for a relative monad, but turn out nonetheless to be algebras for an ordinary monad. We show that, under suitable hypotheses, the left oplax Kan extension of a…

In this article, we interconnect two different aspects of higher category theory, in one hand the theory of infinity categories and on an other hand the theory of 2-categories.We construct an explicit functorial path objet in the model…

We prove that the monoidal 2-category of cospans of finite linear orders and surjections is the universal monoidal category with an object X with a semigroup and a cosemigroup structures, where the two structures satisfy a certain…

A compact closed bicategory is a symmetric monoidal bicategory where every object is equipped with a weak dual. The unit and counit satisfy the usual "zig-zag" identities of a compact closed category only up to natural isomorphism, and the…

Categorical structures and their pseudomaps rarely form locally presentable 2-categories in the sense of Cat-enriched category theory. However, we show that if the categorical structure in question is sufficiently weak (such as the…

Categorical Universal Logic is a theory of monad-relativised hyperdoctrines (or fibred universal algebras), which in particular encompasses categorical forms of both first-order and higher-order quantum logics as well as classical,…

We prove a biadjoint triangle theorem and its strict version, which are $2$-dimensional analogues of the adjoint triangle theorem of Dubuc. Similarly to the $1$-dimensional case, we demonstrate how we can apply our results to get the…

The behaviour of limits of weak morphisms in 2-dimensional universal algebra is not 2-categorical in that, to fully express the behaviour that occurs, one needs to be able to quantify over strict morphisms amongst the weaker kinds.…

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 $P$…

Many structures of interest in two-dimensional category theory have aspects that are inherently strict. This strictness is not a limitation, but rather plays a fundamental role in the theory of such structures. For instance, a monoidal…

In this article we analyze the structure of $2$-categories of symmetric projective bimodules over a finite dimensional algebra with respect to the action of a finite abelian group. We determine under which condition the resulting…
