We compare the structure of a mapping cone in the category Top^D of spaces under a space D with differentials in algebraic models like crossed complexes and quadratic complexes. Several subcategories of Top^D are identified with algebraic…
We build a symmetric monoidal and compact closed bicategory by combining spans and cospans inside a topos. This can be used as a framework in which to study open networks and diagrammatic languages. We illustrate this framework with Coecke…
Unanticipated connections between different fragments of lambda calculus and different families of embedded graphs (a.k.a. "maps") motivate the problem of enumerating $\beta$-normal linear lambda terms. In this brief note, it is shown (by…
This paper contains some contributions to the study of the relationship between 2-categories and the homotopy types of their classifying spaces. Mainly, generalizations are given of both Quillen's Theorem B and Thomason's Homotopy Colimit…
We show a first rectification result for homotopy chain coalgebras over a field. On the one hand, we consider the $\infty$-category obtained by localizing differential graded coalgebras over an operad with respect to quasi-isomorphisms; on…
We define quasicategories of E_n-structured coalgebras, bialagebras and comodules. We show that: n-fold loop spaces, suspension spectra thereof, descent data for maps of E_n-ring spectra, descent corings of morphisms of E_n-ring spectra and…
A free homotopy decomposition of any continuous map from a compact Riemmanian manifold $\mathcal{M}$ to a compact Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$ into a finite number maps belonging to a finite set is constructed, in such a way that the…
We prove a result that relates the number of homomorphisms from the fundamental group of a compact nonorientable surface to a finite group $G$, where conjugacy classes of the boundary components of the surface must map to prescribed…
Let M,N and B\subset N be compact smooth manifolds of dimensions n+k,n and \ell, respectively. Given a map f from M to N, we give homological conditions under which g^{-1}(B) has nontrivial cohomology (with local coefficients) for any map g…
We describe free rigid commutative algebras in $2$-presentably symmetric monoidal $(\infty,2)$-categories as oplax colimits over the $1$-dimensional framed cobordism category. The special case of the $(\infty,2)$-category…
The word problem for categories with free products and coproducts (sums), SP-categories, is directly related to the problem of determining the equivalence of certain processes. Indeed, the maps in these categories may be directly…
We compute the factorization homology of a polynomial algebra over a compact and closed manifold with trivialized tangent bundle up to weak equivalence in a new way. This calculation is based on the model of a graph complex and an explicit…
We propose a new notion of `n-category with duals', which we call a Whitney n-category. There are two motivations. The first is that Baez and Dolan's Tangle Hypothesis is (almost) tautological when interpreted as a statement about Whitney…
We introduce a representation via (n+1)-colored graphs of compact n-manifolds with (possibly empty) boundary, which appears to be very convenient for computer aided study and tabulation. Our construction is ageneralization to arbitrary…
We compare two combinatorial models for the moduli space of two-dimensional cobordisms: B\"odigheimer's radial slit configurations and Godin's admissible fat graphs, producing an explicit homotopy equivalence using a "critical graph" map.…
We develop an algebraic model for the relative sectional category of a continuous map in rational homotopy theory using commutative differential graded algebras (CDGAs). Our main result establishes that for formal maps, the rational…
We study the notion of a bifibration in simplicial sets which generalizes the classical notion of two-sided discrete fibration studied in category theory. If $A$ and $B$ are simplicial sets we equip the category of simplicial sets over…
We prove that the category of directed graphs and graph maps carries a cofibration category structure in which the weak equivalences are the graph maps inducing isomorphisms on path homology.
We show that if two Hopf algebras are monoidally equivalent, then their categories of bicovariant differential calculi are equivalent. We then classify, for $q \in \mathbb{C}^*$ not a root of unity, the finite dimensional bicovariant…
We develop the deformation-obstruction calculus for morphisms of complexes with a fixed lift of the codomain, to derived categories of flat nilpotent deformations of abelian categories. As an application, we give an alternative proof that…
