What's an initial object in a poset-enriched category?

There are several possible definitions of initial object in a 2-category $\mathfrak{K}$; which one is appropriate depends on your applications. A 2-category has an underlying ordinary category, so we …

What is a good basic reference on model categories?

Hirschhorn's book, Model categories and their localizations, is a very thorough reference with many basic results explicitly stated and proved. The result you want is implied by axiom SM7 for simplici …

Two definitions of modules in monoidal category

I will write $[B, C]$ instead of $\underline{\mathrm{Hom}}(B, C)$. Recall the tensor–hom adjunction: $$\mathrm{Hom}(A \otimes B, C) \cong \mathrm{Hom}(A, [B, C])$$ Thus there is a canonical bijection …

Let $\textbf{Top}$ be the category of all topological spaces, including the bad ones. We can make $\textbf{Top}$ into a simplicially enriched category as follows: Given topological spaces $X$ and $Y$ …

Categorical Brouwer-Heyting-Kolmogorov interpretation

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the language of intuitionistic propositional logic generated by some atomic propositions $t_1, t_2, \ldots$. The Lindenbaum–Tarski algebra of $\mathcal{L}$ can be regarded as a bi …

Reference for constructing tensor products of finitely presented functors

This "tensor product" is also known as the weighted colimit in enriched category theory. The short answer is that all the isomorphisms you are interested in always exist, provided the objects you are …

Flat + locally of finite presentation + monomorphism = open immersion

It is known that the following are equivalent for an epimorphism $A \to B$ in $\mathbf{CRing}$: Let $S$ be the set of elements $a \in A$ such that $A [a^{-1}] \to B [a^{-1}]$ is an isomorphism. Then …

Aspheric functors and Grothendieck fibrations

Following Grothendieck, let us say that a category is aspheric if its nerve is weakly contractible and a functor $u : \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B}$ is aspheric if for every object $b$ in $\mathcal{B}$, …
