Abstract

We give a summary (without proofs) of the main results in the author's thesis entitled ``Construction of biclosed categories'' (University of New South Wales, Australia, 1970). This summary is reprinted directly from Report 81-0030 of the School of Mathematics and Physics, Macquarie University, April 1981. In particular, it gives sufficient conditions for existence of an extension of a (pro)monoidal category structure along a given dense functor to a cocomplete category. The two basic procedures used in the proof turn out to be special cases of the final result, the two respective dense functors then being the Yoneda embedding followed by a localisation. The final result has a standard universal property based on left Kan extension of (pro)monoidal functors along the given dense functor, however this property is not stated explicitly here.

Commutation of Smyth and Hoare Power Constructions in Well-filtered Dcpos

Prior work [11] established a commutativity result for the Hoare power construction and a modified version of the Smyth power construction consisting of strongly compact sets, which is defined for Us-admitting dcpos, where Us-admissability is well-filteredness with compact sets replaced by strongly compact sets. In this paper, we consider the Hoare power construction H and the Smyth power construction Q on the category WF of well-filtered dcpos with Scott-continuous maps. Actually, the functors H and Q can be extended to monads. We prove that H and Q commute, that is, HQ(L) is isomorphic to QH(L) for a well-filtered dcpo L, if and only if L satisfies a property similar to consonance that we call (KC) and the Scott topology coincides with the upper Vietoris topology on Q(L). We also investigate the Eilenberg-Moore category of the monad composed by H and Q under a distributive law on WF and characterize it to be a subcategory of the category Frm, which is composed of all frames and all frame homomorphisms.

Groupoidal polygraphic homology

We show that for a 1-category C, the (ω, k)-polygraphic homology of C for any k {\geq} 1, that is taken with cofibrant resolutions in strict (ω, k)- categories, does not depend on k and is canonically isomorphic to the homology of the classifying space of C. When C is a groupoid, we also show this for k = 0. In particular, this means that the classical homology of groups can be obtained by taking cofibrant resolutions in strict ω-groupoids. In order to show these results, we develop the theory of discrete Conduché fibrations in the category of strict (ω, k)-categories, building on previous work by the first-named author.
