Univalent double categories

N Van Der Weide, N Rasekh, B Ahrens… - Proceedings of the 13th …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
Category theory is a branch of mathematics that provides a formal framework for
understanding the relationship between mathematical structures. To this end, a category not …

Generalized multicategories: change-of-base, embedding, and descent

R Prezado, FL Nunes - Applied Categorical Structures, 2024 - Springer
Via the adjunction-∗ 1⊣ V (1,-): Span (V)→ V-Mat and a cartesian monad T on an extensive
category V with finite limits, we construct an adjunction-∗ 1⊣ V (1,-): Cat (T, V)→(T¯, V)-Cat …

Products in double categories, revisited

E Patterson - arxiv preprint arxiv:2401.08990, 2024 - arxiv.org
Products in double categories, as found in cartesian double categories, are an elegant
concept with numerous applications, yet also have a few puzzling aspects. In this paper, we …

Structured and decorated cospans from the viewpoint of double category theory

E Patterson - arxiv preprint arxiv:2304.00447, 2023 - arxiv.org
Structured and decorated cospans are broadly applicable frameworks for building
bicategories or double categories of open systems. We streamline and generalize these …

Contextads as Wreaths; Kleisli, Para, and Span Constructions as Wreath Products

M Capucci, DJ Myers - arxiv preprint arxiv:2410.21889, 2024 - arxiv.org
We introduce contextads and the Ctx construction, unifying various structures and
constructions in category theory dealing with context and contextful arrows--comonads and …

Internal Grothendieck construction for enriched categories

L Moser, M Sarazola, P Verdugo - arxiv preprint arxiv:2308.14455, 2023 - arxiv.org
Given a cartesian closed category $\mathcal {V} $, we introduce an internal category of
elements $\int_\mathcal {C} F $ associated to a $\mathcal {V} $-functor $ F\colon\mathcal …

Formal category theory in augmented virtual double categories

SR Koudenburg - arxiv preprint arxiv:2205.04890, 2022 - arxiv.org
Abridged abstract: In this article we develop formal category theory within augmented virtual
double categories. Notably we formalise the notions of Kan extension and Yoneda …

Enhanced 2-categorical structures, two-dimensional limit sketches and the symmetry of internalisation

N Arkor, J Bourke, J Ko - arxiv preprint arxiv:2412.07475, 2024 - arxiv.org
Many structures of interest in two-dimensional category theory have aspects that are
inherently strict. This strictness is not a limitation, but rather plays a fundamental role in the …

-Limits I: Definition and first consistency results

L Moser, N Rasekh, M Rovelli - arxiv preprint arxiv:2312.11101, 2023 - arxiv.org
We define limits for diagrams valued in an $(\infty, n) $-category. As a model of $(\infty, n) $-
categories, we use complete Segal objects in $(\infty, n-1) $-categories. We show that this …

Copy-composition for probabilistic graphical models

TSC Smithe - arxiv preprint arxiv:2406.08286, 2024 - arxiv.org
In probabilistic modelling, joint distributions are often of more interest than their marginals,
but the standard composition of stochastic channels is defined by marginalization. Recently …
