If in the classical S-category P, 1) continuous mappings are replaced by compact-open strong shape (= coss) morphisms (cf. §1 or [1], §2), and 2) ∧-products are properly reinterpreted, then an S-duality theorem for arbitrary subsets X ⊂ S (rather than for compact polyhedra) holds (Theorem 2.1). 0. Introduction. In a previous paper [1] we introduced the concept of coss-shape (compact-open strong...

We introduce a new spectral sequence called the p-chain spectral sequence which converges to the (co-)homology of a contravariant C-space with coefficients in a covariant C-spectrum for a small category C. It is different from the corresponding Atiyah-Hirzebruch type spectral sequence. It can be used in combination with the Isomorphism Conjectures of Baum-Connes and Farrell-Jones to compute alg...

Let M = (L , ∗) be a GL-monoid. An M-valued preordered set is an L-subset endowed with a reflexive and M-transitive L-relation, it is essentially a category enriched in a quantaloid generated by M. This paper presents a study of M-valued preordered sets with emphasis on symmetrization and the Cauchy completion. The main result states that symmetrization and the Cauchy completion of M-valued pre...

In a previous paper, we investigated the relation between the initial algebra and terminal coalgebra for an endofunctor on the category of sets. In this one we study conditions on a functor to be algebraically compact, which means that the canonical comparison morphism between those objects is an isomorphism. Introduction Suppose C is a category and T : C −→ C is a functor. In both [Barr, 1991]...

In this paper, the notion of fuzzy n-polygroups (Fn -polygroups) is introduced and some related properties are investigated. In this regards, the concepts of normal  F-subpolygroups and homomorphisms of Fn-polygroups are adopted. Also, the quotient of Fn-polygroups by defining regular relations are studied. Finally, the classical isomorphism theorems of groups are generalized to Fn-polygroups p...

In this paper we argue that the category of Stone spaces forms an interesting base category for coalgebras, in particular, if one considers the Vietoris functor as an analogue to the power set functor on the category of sets. We prove that the so-called descriptive general frames, which play a fundamental role in the semantics of modal logics, can be seen as Stone coalgebras in a natural way. T...

In this paper, we classify additive closed symmetric monoidal structures on the category of left R-modules by using Watts’ theorem. An additive closed symmetric monoidal structure is equivalent to an R-module ΛA,B equipped with two commuting right R-module structures represented by the symbols A and B, an R-module K to serve as the unit, and certain isomorphisms. We use this result to look at s...

All rings considered are associative with identity and all occurring modules are unital right modules. We denote by Mod R the category of all R-modules. The spectrum of a ring R is known to be the “set” of isomorphism classes of indecomposable injective right R-modules. When R is right-Noetherian the spectrum describes all injective Rmodules, since each injective module is a direct sum of indec...
