What about stacks of categories in algebraic geometry?

The category theoretical definition of stacks (as given for instance in Giraud: Cohomologie non-abélienne) allow for arbitrary categories as targets (the stack condition only involves isomorphisms how …

What is the "correct" category of multisets

For purposes not obviously related to the question we (Ekedahl and Salomonsson - Strict polynomial functions and multisets) considered the following definition of maps of (finite) multisets: In the ca …

What about the empty torsor?

The empty set is known as a pseudo-torsor (the only one not a torsor if the base as here consists of single point). The reason why it is excluded is that torsor is really a relative notion, a map $X\t …

Cofibrations of differential graded commutative algebras

It depends completely on what you mean by cofibrations. The choice is not quite simple to make as the homotopy category of real commutative dga's is anti-equivalent to "real homotopy" which would sugg …

When is the Yoneda product graded commutative?

I move this to a more proper answer to discuss some subtle points of the question. The Eckman-Hilton argument (or more concrete calculations) shows, as Chris points out, that $\mathrm{Ext}(A,A)$ is co …

Finite categories and partial orders

Not quite, you may have two distinct objects in the category that are isomorphic so what you get is a relation which does not have $x\leq y\wedge y\leq x\implies x=y$. However you get a well-defined p …

An explicit description of Lawvere's segment in the category of simplicial sets

The value of $L$ on the element $[n]\in\Delta$ is, by Yoneda's lemma, equal to the set of morphisms $[n]\rightarrow L$, i.e., the set of subobjects of $[n]$. Such a subobject $S$ is generated by the n …

What is an obviously coordinate-independent description of the Chevellay-Eilenberg complex f...

I think that the relation is that if $\psi\colon A \to TM$ is the action of the algebroid, then we have that $df(a)=\psi(a)(f)$ for $f$ in degree zero of the CE complex and $a\in\Gamma(A)$ and $d\omeg …

After some thought my pessimism (as expressed in my concurrence with the answer of Milne) has abated somewhat. If I were bold enough I would conjecture the following (assuming that the characteristic …

Confusion over a point in basic category theory

If what you mean by "the category of topological spaces" is the category whose objects are pairs $(S,T)$ where $S$ is a set and $T$ is a topology on $S$ and by topological space you mean a pair $(S,T …
