Classifying Spaces for Braided Monoidal Categories and Lax Diagrams of Bicategories
This work contributes to clarifying several relationships between certain higher categorical structures and the homotopy type of their classifying spaces. Bicategories (in particular monoidal categories) have well understood simple geometric realizations, and we here deal with homotopy types represented by lax diagrams of bicategories, that is, lax functors to the tricategory of bicategories. I...
متن کاملFramed Bicategories and Monoidal Fibrations
In some bicategories, the 1-cells are ‘morphisms’ between the 0cells, such as functors between categories, but in others they are ‘objects’ over the 0-cells, such as bimodules, spans, distributors, or parametrized spectra. Many bicategorical notions do not work well in these cases, because the ‘morphisms between 0-cells’, such as ring homomorphisms, are missing. We can include them by using a p...
متن کاملFunctorial Calculus in Monoidal Bicategories
The definition and calculus of extraordinary natural transformations [EK] is extended to a context internal to any autonomous monoidal bicategory [DyS]. The original calculus is recaptured from the geometry [SV], [MT] of the monoidal bicategory V-Mod whose objects are categories enriched in a cocomplete symmetric monoidal category V and whose morphisms are modules. Mathematics Subject Classific...
متن کاملBraided and coboundary monoidal categories
We discuss and compare the notions of braided and coboundary monoidal categories. Coboundary monoidal categories are analogues of braided monoidal categories in which the role of the braid group is replaced by the cactus group. We focus on the categories of representations of quantum groups and crystals and explain how while the former is a braided monoidal category, this structure does not pas...
متن کاملCoherence for monoidal endofunctors
The goal of this paper is to prove coherence results with respect to relational graphs for monoidal endofunctors, i.e. endofunctors of a monoidal category that preserve the monoidal structure up to a natural transformation that need not be an isomorphism. These results are proved first in the absence of symmetry in the monoidal structure, and then with this symmetry. In the later parts of the p...
