Müller generalized in [12] the notion of a Frobenius extension to left (right) quasi-Frobenius extension and proved the endomorphism ring theorem for these extensions. Recently, Guo observed in [9] that for a ring homomorphism φ : R → S, the restriction of scalars functor has to induction functor S ⊗R − : RM → SM as right ”quasi” adjoint if and only if φ is a left quasi-Frobenius extension. In ...

We examined infants’ recognition of functors and the accuracy of the representations that infants construct of the perceived word forms. Auditory stimuli were “Functor + Content Word” versus “Nonsense Functor + Content Word” sequences. Eight-, 11-, and 13-month-old infants heard both real functors and matched nonsense functors (prosodically analogous to their real counterparts but containing a ...

In the theory of operads we consider generalized symmetric power functors defined by sums of coinvariant modules. One observes classically that the symmetric functor construction provides an isomorphism from the category of symmetric modules to a split subcategory of the category of functors on dgmodules (if dg-modules form our ground category). The purpose of this article is to obtain a simila...

We prove how any (elementary) topos may be reconstructed from the data of two complemented subtoposes together with a pair of left exact “glueing functors”. This generalizes the classical glueing theorem for toposes, which deals with the special case of an open subtopos and its closed complement. Our glueing analysis applies in a particularly simple form to a locally closed subtopos and its com...

We show that there is an exact sequence of biset functors over p-groups 0 → Cb j −→B∗ Ψ −→D → 0 where Cb is the biset functor for the group of Borel-Smith functions, B ∗ is the dual of the Burnside ring functor, D is the functor for the subgroup of the Dade group generated by relative syzygies, and the natural transformation Ψ is the transformation recently introduced by the first author in [5]...
