Abstract

The relationships between thin elements, commutative shells and connections in cubical omega-categories are explored by a method which does not involve the use of pasting theory or nerves of omega-categories (both of which were previously needed for this purpose; see previous work by Al-Agl/Brown/Steiner. It is shown that composites of commutative shells are commutative and that thin structures are equivalent to appropriate sets of connections; this work extends to all dimensions the results proved in dimensions 2 and 3 by Brown/Mosa, and Brown/Kamps/Porter.

Operadic 2-rigs

We show that the bicategory of operads and bimodules can be embedded into the bicategory of symmetric 2-rigs, a categorification of commutative rings. In order to do this, we introduce the notion of an operadic 2-rig and show that the full sub-bicategory of symmetric 2-rigs spanned by operadic 2-rigs has the universal property of being a completion under Eilenberg-Moore-Kleisli objects.

Compatibility of HRS tilt and completion of $t$-structures in triangulated categories

Let $K$ be a field, and $\mathcal{T}$ a $K$-linear essentially small triangulated category equipped with an extendable $t$-structure $(\mathcal{T}^{\leq0}, \mathcal{T}^{\geq0})$ with respect to a good metric $\mathfrak{B}$. Given a torsion class $\mathcal{X}$ in the heart of $(\mathcal{T}^{\leq0}, \mathcal{T}^{\geq0})$, we prove that lifting the HRS-tilt of $(\mathcal{T}^{\leq0}, \mathcal{T}^{\geq0})$ at $\mathcal{X}$ along the completion of $\mathcal{T}$ coincides with the HRS-tilt of the lifted $t$-structure at the completion of $\mathcal{X}$. As an application, we provide the compatibility result between left silting mutation in $\mathcal{T}$ and HRS tilting in the ambient completion.

Bicategorical Idempotent Completion

In recent years, higher categorical variants of idempotents have become an object of interest. Notably, they appear when categorifying algebraic structures motivated by mathematical physics. Working in the setting of bicategories, we give a rigorous definition of the bicategorical idempotent completion as outlined by Gaiotto and Johnson-Freyd in arXiv:1905.09566. We show that this agrees with the Cauchy completion of a locally idempotent complete bicategory in the sense of Lawvere.
