We show that there are two (isomorphic) full subcategories of the category of locally convex topological vector spaces—the weakly topologized spaces and those with the Mackey topology—that form ∗-autonomous categories. RÉSUMÉ. On montre qu’il y a deux sous-catégories (isomorphes) pleines de la catégorie des espaces vectoriels topologiques localement convexes—les espaces munis de la topologie fa...

We study the topological K-theory spectrum of the dg singularity category associated to a weighted projective complete intersection. We calculate the topological K-theory of the dg singularity category of a weighted projective hypersurface in terms of its Milnor fiber and monodromy operator, and, as an application, we obtain a lift of the Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro construction to the level of spectra.

We exhibit examples of triangulated categories which are neither the stable category of a Frobenius category nor a full triangulated subcategory of the homotopy category of a stable model category. Even more drastically, our examples do not admit any non-trivial exact functors to or from these algebraic respectively topological triangulated categories. Introduction. Triangulated categories are ...

The construction of free R-modules over a cartesian closed topological category X is detailed (where R is a ring object in X), and it is shown that the insertion of generators is an embedding. This result extends the well-known construction of free groups, and more generally of free algebras over a cartesian closed topological category.

Let R be a commutative ring whose complete ring of quotients is Rinjective. We show that the category of topological R-modules contains a full subcategory that is ∗-autonomous using R itself as dualizing object. In order to do this, we develop a new variation on the category chu(D, R), where D is the category of discrete R-modules: the high wide subcategory, which we show equivalent to the cate...

In fairly elementary terms this paper presents, and expands upon, a recent result by Garner by which the notion of topologicity of a concrete functor is subsumed under the concept of total cocompleteness of enriched category theory. Motivated by some key results of the 1970s, the paper develops all needed ingredients from the theory of quantaloids in order to place essential results of categori...

Abstract In this study, mainly, we introduce the category Tex of textures and texturally continuous functions. Relations with some other categories, particulary dfTex, fTex, are pointed out. It is shown that the categories CTop of C-spaces and a full subcategory of Sober of sober spaces are, respectively, isomorphic to Tex and STex of simple textures. Some properties discussed including the exi...

The projective tensor product in a category of topologicalR-modules (where R is a topological ring) can be defined in Top, the category of topological spaces, by the same universal property used to define the tensor product of R-modules in Set. In this article, we extend this definition to an arbitrary topological category X and study how the cartesian closedness of X is related to the monoidal...

In this paper it is shown that an assortment of operads near to many topologists’ hearts enjoy (homotopy) universal properties of an expressly combinatorial nature. These include the operads An and En. The main idea that makes this possible is the new notion of an operator category, which controls the homotopy types of these operads in a strong sense.
