We use the notion of universal extension in a linear abelian category to study extensions of variations of mixed Hodge structure and convergent and overconvergent isocrystals. The results we obtain apply, for example, to prove the exactness…

We develop a general theory of extensions of flat functors along geometric morphisms of toposes, and apply it to the study of the class of theories whose classifying topos is equivalent to a presheaf topos. As a result, we obtain a…

We study the existence of state transfer with respect to the $q$-Laplacian matrix of a graph equipped with a non-trivial involution. We show that the occurrence of perfect state transfer between certain pair (or plus) states in such a graph…

Sponges were recently proposed as a generalization of lattices, focussing on joins/meets of sets, while letting go of associativity/transitivity. In this work we provide tools for characterizing and constructing sponges on metric spaces and…

We construct a functor from the category of graphs to the category of groups which is faithful and "almost" full, in the sense that it induces bijections of the Hom sets up to trivial homomorphisms and conjugation in the category of groups.…

An algebraic formalism for the study of a system of charged particles interacting with an external quantum field is developed. The notion of monoidal categories with duality is used for the description of composite systems and corresponding…

Given two sets of quantum states {A_1, ..., A_k} and {B_1, ..., B_k}, represented as sets of density matrices, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of a physical transformation T, represented as a…

Interest in combinatorial interpretations of mathematical entities stems from the convenience of the concrete models they provide. Finding a bijective proof of a seemingly obscure identity can reveal unsuspected significance to it. Finding…

We study limits in 2-categories whose objects are categories with extra structure and whose morphisms are functors preserving the structure only up to a coherent comparison map, which may or may not be required to be invertible. This is…

Epistemic uncertainty arises in lack of complete knowledge about the state of a system. There are multiple mathematical frameworks for measuring such uncertainty quantitatively, often referred to as imprecise probability theories. Inspired…

We introduce notions of lax semiadditive and lax additive $(\infty,2)$-categories, categorifying the classical notions of semiadditive and additive 1-categories. To establish a well-behaved axiomatic framework, we develop a calculus of lax…

Two important classes of quantum structures, namely orthomodular posets and orthomodular lattices, can be characterized in a classical context, using notions like partial information and points of view. Using the formalism of representation…

Higher-order quantum theory is an extension of quantum theory where one introduces transformations whose input and output are transformations, thus generalizing the notion of channels and quantum operations. The generalization then goes…

The goal of this article is to emphasize the role of cubical sets in enriched categories theory and infinity-categories theory. We show in particular that categories enriched in cubical sets provide a convenient way to describe many…

Tilings and point sets arising from substitutions are classical mathematical models of quasicrystals. Their hierarchical structure allows one to obtain concrete answers regarding spectral questions tied to the underlying measures and…

This paper presents a unified framework for determining the congruences on a number of monoids and categories of transformations, diagrams, matrices and braids, and on all their ideals. The key theoretical advances present an iterative…

We introduce a class of $n$-dimensional (possibly inhomogeneous) spin-like lattice systems presenting modulated phases with possibly different textures. Such systems can be parameterized according to the number of ground states, and can be…

We introduce new entanglement monotones which generalize, to the case of many parties, those which give rise to the majorization-based partial ordering of bipartite states' entanglement. We give some examples of restrictions they impose on…

In a conformal invariant one-dimensional stochastic model, a certain non-local perturbation takes the system to a new massless phase of a special kind. The ground-state of the system is an adsorptive state. Part of the finite-size scaling…

We consider the possibility of topological quantum phase transitions of ultracold fermions in optical lattices, which can be studied as a function of interaction strength or atomic filling factor (density). The phase transitions are…
