It is a well-known result of the covering groups that a subgroup G of the fundamental group at the identity of a semilocally simply connected topological group determines a covering morphism of topological groups with characteristic group G . In this paper we generalize this result to a large class of algebraic objects called topological groups with operations, including topological groups. We ...

The topic of this paper is a generalization of Tannaka duality to coclosed categories. As an application we prove reconstruction theorems for coalgebras (bialgebras, Hopf algebras) in categories of topological vector spaces over a nonarchimedean field K. In particular, our results imply reconstruction and recognition theorems for categories of locally analytic representations of compact p-adic ...

In this paper we use Janelidze’s approach to the classical theory of topological coverings via categorical Galois theory to study coverings in categories of relational algebras. Moreover, we present characterizations of effective descent morphisms in the categories of M ordered sets and of multi-ordered sets.

Let (Xn)n∈ω be a sequence of uniform spaces such that each space Xn is a closed subspace in Xn+1. We give an explicit description of the topology and uniformity of the direct limit u-lim −→ Xn of the sequence (Xn) in the category of uniform spaces. This description implies that a function f : u-lim −→ Xn → Y to a uniform space Y is continuous if for every n ∈ N the restriction f |Xn is continuo...

L-sets over a base set X are generalizations of classical sets where subsets are not specified by characteristic functions from X to {0, 1} but rather by functions from X to a lattice L. For an L-set a ∈ L and an element x ∈ X, a(x) is interpreted as the grade of membership of x in a. Stratified L-topological spaces are generalizations of topological spaces to the L-set case [1]. In [2], strati...

In this survey, we give an overview over some aspects of the set of tilting objects in an $m-$cluster category, with focus on those properties which are valid for all $m geq 1$. We focus on the following three combinatorial aspects: modeling the set of tilting objects using arcs in certain polygons, the generalized assicahedra of Fomin and Reading, and colored quiver mutation.

Human brain structural networks contain sets of centrally embedded hub regions that enable efficient information communication. However, it remains largely unknown about categories of structural brain hubs and their microstructural, functional and cognitive characteristics as well as contributions to individual identification. Here, we employed three multi-modal imaging data sets with structura...

In this chapter we survey some particular topics in category theory in a somewhat unconventional manner. Our main focus will be on monoidal categories, mainly symmetric ones, for which we propose a physical interpretation. Special attention is given to the category of sets and relations, posetal categories, diagrammatic calculi, strictification, compact categories, biproduct categories and abst...
