Braided and coboundary monoidal categories
We discuss and compare the notions of braided and coboundary monoidal categories. Coboundary monoidal categories are analogues of braided monoidal categories in which the role of the braid group is replaced by the cactus group. We focus on the categories of representations of quantum groups and crystals and explain how while the former is a braided monoidal category, this structure does not pas...
متن کاملThe limit-colimit coincidence theorem for -categories
In 1973 William Lawvere published a paper (reprinted as (Lawvere 2002)) where he explained that partial orders and metric spaces are examples of categories enriched in a closed category. Indeed, preorders are categories enriched over the two-element Boolean algebra 2, while (generalized) metric spaces are categories enriched over ([0,∞],+). Lawvere’s idea has been extremely influential in the f...
متن کاملAn Alternative Description of Braided Monoidal Categories
We give an alternative presentation of braided monoidal categories. Instead of the usual associativity and braiding we have just one constraint (the b-structure). In the unital case, the coherence conditions for a b-structure are shown to be equivalent to the usual associativity, unit and braiding axioms. We also discuss the next dimensional version, that is, b-structures on bicategories. As an...
متن کاملWeak Hopf Monoids in Braided Monoidal Categories
We develop the theory of weak bimonoids in braided monoidal categories and show them to be quantum categories in a certain sense. Weak Hopf monoids are shown to be quantum groupoids. Each separable Frobenius monoid R leads to a weak Hopf monoid R ⊗ R.
متن کاملClassifying Spaces for Braided Monoidal Categories and Lax Diagrams of Bicategories
This work contributes to clarifying several relationships between certain higher categorical structures and the homotopy type of their classifying spaces. Bicategories (in particular monoidal categories) have well understood simple geometric realizations, and we here deal with homotopy types represented by lax diagrams of bicategories, that is, lax functors to the tricategory of bicategories. I...
