A Cocategorical Obstruction to Tensor Products of Gray-categories
نویسندگان
چکیده
It was argued by Crans that it is too much to ask that the category of Gray-categories admit a well behaved monoidal biclosed structure. We make this precise by establishing undesirable properties that any such monoidal biclosed structure must have. In particular we show that there does not exist any tensor product making the model category of Gray-categories into a monoidal model category.

Fuzzy projective modules and tensor products in fuzzy module categories
Let $R$ be a commutative ring. We write $mbox{Hom}(mu_A, nu_B)$ for the set of all fuzzy $R$-morphisms from $mu_A$ to $nu_B$, where $mu_A$ and $nu_B$ are two fuzzy $R$-modules. We make$mbox{Hom}(mu_A, nu_B)$ into fuzzy $R$-module by redefining a function $alpha:mbox{Hom}(mu_A, nu_B)longrightarrow [0,1]$. We study the properties of the functor $mbox{Hom}(mu_A,-):FRmbox{-Mod}rightarrow FRmbox{-Mo...
متن کاملFree Products of Higher Operad Algebras
One of the open problems in higher category theory is the systematic construction of the higher dimensional analogues of the Gray tensor product of 2-categories. In this paper we continue the developments of [3] and [2] by understanding the natural generalisations of Gray’s little brother, the funny tensor product of categories. In fact we exhibit for any higher categorical structure definable ...
متن کاملThe non-abelian tensor product of normal crossed submodules of groups
In this article, the notions of non-abelian tensor and exterior products of two normal crossed submodules of a given crossed module of groups are introduced and some of their basic properties are established. In particular, we investigate some common properties between normal crossed modules and their tensor products, and present some bounds on the nilpotency class and solvability length of the...
متن کاملBundles of C*-categories and duality
We introduce the notions of multiplier C*-category and continuous bundle of C*-categories, as the categorical analogues of the corresponding C*-algebraic notions. Every symmetric tensor C*-category with conjugates is a continuous bundle of C*-categories, with base space the spectrum of the C*-algebra associated with the identity object. We classify tensor C*-categories with fibre the dual of a ...
متن کاملAlgebras of higher operads as enriched categories II
One of the open problems in higher category theory is the systematic construction of the higher dimensional analogues of the Gray tensor product. In this paper we continue the work of [7] to adapt the machinery of globular operads [4] to this task. The resulting theory includes the Gray tensor product of 2-categories and the Crans tensor product [12] of Gray categories. Moreover much of the pre...
