We introduce a new categorical framework for studying derived functors, and in particular for comparing composites of left and right derived functors. Our central observation is that model categories are the objects of a double category whose vertical and horizontal arrows are left and right Quillen functors, respectively, and that passage to derived functors is functorial at the level of this ...

I will build some standard resolutions for Mackey functors which are projective relative to p-subgroups. Those resolutions are closely related to the poset of p-subgroups. They lead to generalizations of known results on cohomology. They give a way to compute the Cartan matrix for Mackey functors, in terms of p-permutation modules, and to precise the structure of projective Mackey functors. The...

Rhetorical biset functors can be defined for any family of finite groups that is closed under subquotients up to isomorphism. The rhetorical p-biset functors almost coincide with the rational p-biset functors. We show that, over a field with characteristic zero, the rhetorical biset functors are semisimple and, furthermore, they admit a character theory involving primitive characters of automor...

This paper is devoted to deformation theory of graded Lie algebras over Z or Zl with finite dimensional graded pieces. Such deformation problems naturally appear in number theory. In the first part of the paper, we use Schlessinger criteria for functors on Artinian local rings in order to obtain universal deformation rings for deformations of graded Lie algebras and their graded representations...

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...
