Coherence for Skew-Monoidal Categories
We motivate a variation (due to K. Szlachányi) of monoidal categories called skew-monoidal categories where the unital and associativity laws are not required to be isomorphisms, only natural transformations. Coherence has to be formulated differently than in the well-known monoidal case. In my (to my knowledge new) version it becomes a statement of uniqueness of normalizing rewrites. We presen...
متن کاملMonoidal categories and multiextensions
We associate to a group-like monoidal groupoid C a principal bundle E satisfying most of the axioms defining a biextension. The obstruction to the existence of a genuine biextension structure on E is exhibited. When this obstruction vanishes, the biextension E is alternating, and a trivialization of E induces a trivialization of C. The analogous theory for monoidal n-categories is also examined...
متن کاملCategories and Quantum Informatics: Monoidal categories
A monoidal category is a category equipped with extra data, describing how objects and morphisms can be combined ‘in parallel’. This chapter introduces the theory of monoidal categories, and shows how our example categories Hilb, Set and Rel can be given a monoidal structure. We also introduce a visual notation called the graphical calculus, which provides an intuitive and powerful way to work ...
متن کاملA note on the biadjunction between 2-categories of traced monoidal categories and tortile monoidal categories
We illustrate a minor error in the biadjointness result for 2-categories of traced monoidal categories and tortile monoidal categories stated by Joyal, Street and Verity. We also show that the biadjointness holds after suitably changing the definition of 2-cells. In the seminal paper “Traced Monoidal Categories” by Joyal, Street and Verity [4], it is claimed that the Int-construction gives a le...
متن کاملMonoidal Model Categories
A monoidal model category is a model category with a closed monoidal structure which is compatible with the model structure. Given a monoidal model category, we consider the homotopy theory of modules over a given monoid and the homotopy theory of monoids. We make minimal assumptions on our model categories; our results therefore are more general, yet weaker, than the results of [SS97]. In part...
