In this paper, we show another proof of the problem by constructing a strict monoidal category M(C) consisting of M-functors and M-morphisms of a category C and we prove C is equivalent to it. The proof is based on a basic character of monoidal equivalences. Ideas and techniques of these proofs can been used to prove the equivalence between an Ann-category and an almost strict Ann-category.
We lift the standard equivalence between fibrations and indexed categories to an equivalence between monoidal fibrations and monoidal indexed categories, namely weak monoidal pseudofunctors to the 2-category of categories. In doing so, we investigate the relation between this `global' monoidal structure where the total category is monoidal and the fibration strictly preserves the structure, and a `fibrewise' one where the fibres are monoidal and the reindexing functors strongly preserve the structure, first hinted by Shulman. In particular, when the domain is cocartesian monoidal, lax monoidal…
We construct an equivalence between the 2-categories VMonCat of rigid V-monoidal categories for a braided monoidal category V and VModTens of oplax braided functors from V into the Drinfeld centers of ordinary rigid monoidal categories. The 1-cells in each are the respective lax monoidal functors, and the 2-cells are the respective monoidal natural transformations. Our proof also gives an equivalence in the case that we consider only strong monoidal 1-cells on both sides. The 2-categories VMonCat and VModTens have G-graded analogues. We also get an equivalence of 2-categories between G-extensi…
We show that weak monoidal Quillen equivalences induce equivalences of symmetric monoidal $\infty$-categories with respect to the Dwyer-Kan localization of the symmetric monoidal model categories. The result will induce a Dold-Kan correspondence of coalgebras in $\infty$-categories. Moreover, it shows that Shipley's zig-zag of Quillen equivalences lifts to an explicit symmetric monoidal equivalence of $\infty$-categories for the stable Dold-Kan correspondence. We study homotopy coherent coalgebras associated to a monoidal monoidal category. We show examples when these coalgebras cannot be rigi…
We prove that the 2-category of skeletally small abelian categories with exact monoidal structures is anti-equivalent to the 2-category of fp-hom-closed definable additive categories satisfying an exactness criterion. For a fixed finitely accessible category $\mathcal{C}$ with products and a monoidal structure satisfying the appropriate assumptions, we provide bijections between the fp-hom-closed definable subcategories of $\mathcal{C}$, the Serre tensor-ideals of $\mathcal{C}^{\mathrm{fp}}\hbox{-}\mathrm{mod}$ and the closed subsets of a Ziegler-type topology. For a skeletally small preadditi…
In this paper we construct a symmetric monoidal closed model category of coherently commutative monoidal categories. The main aim of this paper is to establish a Quillen equivalence between a model category of coherently commutative monoidal categories and a natural model category of Permutative (or strict symmetric monoidal) categories, $\mathbf{Perm}$, which is not a symmetric monoidal closed model category. The right adjoint of this Quillen equivalence is the classical Segal's Nerve functor.
A topological commutative ring is said to be rigid when for every set $X$, the topological dual of the $X$-fold topological product of the ring is isomorphic to the free module over $X$. Examples are fields with a ring topology, discrete rings, and normed algebras. Rigidity translates into a dual equivalence between categories of free modules and of "topologically-free" modules and, with a suitable topological tensor product for the latter, one proves that it lifts to an equivalence between monoids in this category (some suitably generalized topological algebras) and coalgebras. In particular,…
Braided-enriched monoidal categories were introduced in work of Morrison-Penneys, where they were characterized using braided central functors. Recent work of Kong-Yuan-Zhang-Zheng and Dell extended this characterization to an equivalence of 2-categories. Since their introduction, braided-enriched fusion categories have been used to describe certain phenomena in topologically ordered systems in theoretical condensed matter physics. While these systems are unitary, there was previously no general notion of unitarity for enriched categories in the literature. We supply the notion of unitarity fo…
We give another proof of the fact that there is a dual equivalence between the $\infty$-category of monoidal $\infty$-categories with left adjoint oplax monoidal functors and that with right adjoint lax monoidal functors by constructing a perfect pairing between them.
The main objective of this paper is to construct a symmetric monoidal closed model category of coherently commutative monoidal quasi-categories. We construct another model category structure whose fibrant objects are (essentially) those coCartesian fibrations which represent objects that are known as symmetric monoidal quasi-categories in the literature. We go on to establish a Quillen equivalence between the two model categories.
In his book on model categories, Hovey asked whether the 2-category $\mathbf{Mod}$ of model categories admits a "model 2-category structure" whose weak equivalences are the Quillen equivalences. We show that $\mathbf{Mod}$ does not have pullbacks and so cannot form a model 2-category. This lack of pullbacks can be traced to the two-out-of-three axiom on the weak equivalences of a model category. Accordingly, we define a premodel category to be a complete and cocomplete category equipped with two nested weak factorization systems. Combinatorial premodel categories form a complete and cocomplete…
We prove that the homotopy theory of parsummable categories (as defined by Schwede) with respect to the underlying equivalences of categories is equivalent to the usual homotopy theory of symmetric monoidal categories. In particular, this yields a model of symmetric monoidal categories in terms of categories equipped with a strictly commutative, associative, and unital (but only partially defined) operation.
We construct a compact closed category out of any symmetric monoidal category by freely adding adjoints to its objects. The morphisms of the completion are defined as string diagrams annotated by objects and morphisms from the original category. The symmetric monoidal category embeds via a faithful monoidal functor into its completion, but in contrast to the non-symmetric case, this embedding is not full. Our construction factors through the Int construction, which yields another free construction: the free traced monoidal category on a symmetric monoidal category.
Monoidal categories enriched in a braided monoidal category $\mathcal{V}$ are classified by braided oplax monoidal functors from $\mathcal{V}$ to the Drinfeld centers of ordinary monoidal categories. In this article, we prove that this classifying functor is strongly monoidal if and only if the original $\mathcal{V}$-monoidal category is tensored over $\mathcal{V}$. We then define a completion operation which produces a tensored $\mathcal{V}$-monoidal category $\overline{\mathcal{C}}$ from an arbitrary $\mathcal{V}$-monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$, and we determine many equivalent conditions w…
We propose a construction of the monoidal envelope of $\infty$-operads in the model of Segal dendroidal spaces, and use it to define cocartesian fibrations of such. We achieve this by viewing the dendroidal category as a "plus construction" of the category of pointed finite sets, and work in the more general language of algebraic patterns for Segal conditions. Finally, we rephrase Lurie's definition of cartesian structures as exhibiting the categorical fibrations coming from envelopes, and deduce a straightening/unstraightening equivalence for dendroidal spaces.
Adams operations are the natural transformations of the representation ring functor on the category of finite groups, and they are one way to describe the usual lambda-ring structure on these rings. From the representation-theoretical point of view, they codify some of the symmetric monoidal structure of the representation category. We show that the monoidal structure on the category alone, regardless of the particular symmetry, determines all the odd Adams operations. On the other hand, we give examples to show that monoidal equivalences do not have to preserve the second Adams operations and…
Quantum categories have been recently studied because of their relation to bialgebroids, small categories, and skew monoidales. This is the first of a series of papers based on the author's PhD thesis in which we examine the theory of quantum categories developed by Day, Lack, and Street. A quantum category is an opmonoidal monad on the monoidale associated to a biduality $R\dashv R^{\circ}$, or enveloping monoidale, in a monoidal bicategory of modules $\mathsf{Mod}(\mathcal{V})$ for a monoidal category $\mathcal{V}$. Lack and Street proved that quantum categories are in equivalence with right…
本文给出了Ann-范畴的凝聚定理的证明，其公理集和最初的基本性质在[9]中给出。设$$\A=(\A,{\Ah},c,(0,g,d),a,(1,l,r),{\Lh},{\Rh})$$是Ann-范畴。相干定理指出，在范畴$ \A$中，任何由上述同构和复合识别以及两个运算$\tx$，$\ts$构建的态射只依赖于它的源和它的目标。Mac Lane [7]建立了关于monoidal范畴和对称幺半范畴的第一个凝聚定理。在此之后，如参考文献所示，有许多结果涉及到某些类别的范畴的连贯性问题。对于Ann-范畴，应用Hoang Xuan Sinh在[2]中关于Gr-范畴的思想，通过忠实地将任意Ann-范畴“嵌入”到一个相当严格的Ann-范畴中，构造了凝聚定理的证明.这里，一个{ \it quite strict} Ann-范畴是一个Ann-范畴，它的所有约束都是严格的，除了交换性和左分配性。本文是文[9]的继续。如果没有解释，本文中的术语和符号与[9]相同。
We establish an equivalence of homotopy theories between symmetric monoidal bicategories and connective spectra. For this, we develop the theory of $Γ$-objects in 2-categories. In the course of the proof we establish strictfication results of independent interest for symmetric monoidal bicategories and for diagrams of 2-categories.
It is well-known that the category of small dg categories dgCat, though it is monoidal, does not form a monoidal model category. In this paper we construct a monoidal model structure on the category of pointed curved coalgebras ptdCoa* and show that the Quillen equivalence relating it to dgCat is monoidal. We also show that dgCat is a ptdCoa*-enriched model category. As a consequence, the homotopy category of dgCat is closed monoidal and is equivalent as a closed monoidal category to the homotopy category of ptdCoa*. In particular, this gives a conceptual construction of a derived internal hom…
We establish a highly flexible condition that guarantees that all colored symmetric operads in a symmetric monoidal model category are admissible, i.e., the category of algebras over any operad admits a model structure transferred from the original model category. We also give a necessary and sufficient criterion that ensures that a given weak equivalence of admissible operads admits rectification, i.e., the corresponding Quillen adjunction between the categories of algebras is a Quillen equivalence. In addition, we show that Quillen equivalences of underlying symmetric monoidal model categori…
