A generalization of the notion of an $\infty$-category is presented, allowing for ($\infty$-)cat(egorie)s that may have non-invertible higher morphisms.
Additive categories play a fundamental role in mathematics and related disciplines. Given an additive category equipped with a biadditive functor, one can construct its category of extensions, which encodes important structural information.…
We define a notion of "theory of (1,infty)-categories", and we prove that such a theory is unique up to equivalence.
Let $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{E})$ be an exact category. We establish basic results that allow one to identify sub(bi)functors of $\operatorname{Ext}_{\mathcal{E}}(-,-)$ using additivity of numerical functions and restriction to subcategories.…
We define unbounded twisted complexes and bicomplexes generalising the notion of a (bounded) twisted complex over a DG category [BK90]. These need to be considered relative to another DG category $B$ admitting countable direct sums and…
The concept of a variance on a category is introduced as a two-sided strict factorization system. By employing variances, we define functors of variance in a more general setting than is usually considered, thereby eliminating the need for…
We use type-theoretic techniques to present an algebraic theory of $\infty$-categories with strict units. Starting with a known type-theoretic presentation of fully weak $\infty$-categories, in which terms denote valid operations, we extend…
Starting from a small number of well-motivated axioms, we derive a unique definition of sums with a noninteger number of addends. These "fractional sums" have properties that generalize well-known classical sum identities in a natural way.…
We develop the theory of categories of measurable fields of Hilbert spaces and bounded fields of bounded operators. We examine classes of functors and natural transformations with good measure theoretic properties, providing in the end a…
The attempt is to give a formal concpet of system, and with this provide a definition of category, that will also satisfy the definition of a system. An axiomatic base is given, for constructing the group of integers. In the process, we…
For abelian length categories the borderline between finite and infinite representation type is discussed. Characterisations of finite representation type are extended to length categories of infinite height, and the minimal length…
The aim of this paper is to reformulate the theory of unbounded derived categories, including more recent categories of first and second kind, using the language of $(\infty,1)$-categories.
Given an operad A of topological spaces, we consider A-monads in a topological category C . When A is an A-infinity-operad, any A-monad K : C -> C can be thought of as a monad up to coherent homotopies. We define the completion functor with…
It is shown that every concretizable category can be fully embedded into the category of accessible set functors and natural transformations.
We introduce basic notions in category theory to type theorists, including comprehension categories, categories with attributes, contextual categories, type categories, and categories with families along with additional discussions that are…
We introduce semisimple 2-categories, fusion 2-categories, and spherical fusion 2-categories. For each spherical fusion 2-category, we construct a state-sum invariant of oriented singular piecewise-linear 4-manifolds.
We study, in an abstract axiomatic setting, the notion of sectional category of a morphism. From this, we unify and generalize known results about this invariant in different settings as well as we deduce new applications.
We characterize virtual double categories of enriched categories, functors, and profunctors by introducing a new notion of double-categorical colimits. Our characterization is strict in the sense that it is up to equivalence between virtual…
A-infinity algebras and categories are known to be the algebraic structures behind open string field theories. In this note we comment on the relevance of the homology construction of A-infinity categories to superpotentials.
This short introductory category theory textbook is for readers with relatively little mathematical background (e.g. the first half of an undergraduate mathematics degree). At its heart is the concept of a universal property, important…
