The existential completion

D Trotta - arXiv preprint arXiv:2108.03416, 2021 - arxiv.org
We determine the existential completion of a primary doctrine, and we prove that the 2-
monad obtained from it is lax-idempotent, and that the 2-category of existential doctrines is …

A modular functor from state sums for finite tensor categories and their bimodules

J Fuchs, G Schaumann, C Schweigert - arXiv preprint arXiv:1911.06214, 2019 - arxiv.org
We construct a modular functor which takes its values in the monoidal bicategory of finite
categories, left exact functors and natural transformations. The modular functor is defined on …

Discrete double fibrations

M Lambert - arXiv preprint arXiv:2101.06734, 2021 - arxiv.org
Presheaves on a small category are well-known to correspond via a category of elements
construction to ordinary discrete fibrations over that same small category. Work of R. Par\'e …

Corelations are the prop for extraspecial commutative Frobenius monoids

B Coya, B Fong - arXiv preprint arXiv:1601.02307, 2016 - arxiv.org
Just as binary relations between sets may be understood as jointly monic spans, so too may
equivalence relations on the disjoint union of sets be understood as jointly epic cospans …

[PDF][PDF] Classifying tangent structures using Weil algebras

P Leung - Theory and Applications of Categories, 2017 - epe.lac-bac.gc.ca
At the heart of differential geometry is the construction of the tangent bundle of a manifold.
There are various abstractions of this construction, and of particular interest here is that of …

Q-System Completeness of unitary connections

M Ghosh - arXiv preprint arXiv:2302.04921, 2023 - arxiv.org
A Q-system is a unitary version of a separable Frobenius algebra object in a C*-tensor
category. In a recent joint work with P. Das, S. Ghosh and C. Jones, the author has …

2-dimensional bifunctor theorems and distributive laws

PF Faul, G Manuell, J Siqueira - arXiv preprint arXiv:2010.07926, 2020 - arxiv.org
In this paper we consider the conditions that need to be satisfied by two families of
pseudofunctors with a common codomain for them to be collated into a bifunctor. We …

Bifunctor Theorem and strictification tensor product for double categories with lax double functors

B Femić - arXiv preprint arXiv:2207.13452, 2022 - arxiv.org
We introduce a candidate for the inner hom for $ Dbl^{st} _ {lx} $, the category of strict
double categories and lax double functors, and characterize a lax double functor into it …

On the formal theory of pseudomonads and pseudodistributive laws

N Gambino, G Lobbia - arXiv preprint arXiv:0907.1359, 2009 - arxiv.org
We contribute to the formal theory of pseudomonads, ie the analogue for pseudomonads of
the formal theory of monads. In particular, we solve a problem posed by Steve Lack by …

Factorization systems and double categories

M Štěpán - arXiv preprint arXiv:2305.06714, 2023 - arxiv.org
We show that factorization systems, both strict and orthogonal, can be equivalently
described as double categories satisfying certain properties. This provides conceptual …
