In what category is the sum of real numbers a coproduct?

Isomorphism classes of finitely generated right Hilbert modules over a II_1 factor are in a bijective correspondence with the nonnegative reals. The correspondence sends every module to its dimension. …

Infima and Suprema of Grothendieck topologies

Yes. In fact, Grothendieck topologies on any small category constitute a locale. See Proposition 3.2.13 in Borceux's Handbook of Categorical Algebra 3.

internal homs and adjunctions?

I think both uhom(Y × X, Z) and uhom(Y, uhom(X, Z)) represent the same functor: hom(W, uhom(Y × X, Z)) = hom(W × Y × X, Z) hom(W, uhom(Y, uhom(X, Z))) = hom(W × Y, uhom(X, Z)) = hom(W × Y × X, Z), hen …

Is there a 'one hom-class' definition of the category of sets not relying on tuples for arrows?

It is certainly possible to define the class of functions as something else than ordered pairs: for example, we can define a function to be a set $Z$, whose individual elements must be ordered pairs $ …

Delooping groupoid

Say, we take G to be U(1) and then form BU(1). Is it a 1-groupoid or 2-groupoid? The delooping of the Lie group $\def\B{{\sf B}} \def\U{{\sf U}} \U(1)$ is the Lie 1-groupoid $\B\U(1)$. The shape $\d …

Topologizing the category of measure spaces

As demonstrated by Andre Kornell in http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.2994, the category of measurable spaces is closed with respect to the monoidal structure given by the spatial tensor product (Theorem 9.5) …

A question about possibly $\infty$-category or functors

$T$ can be formalized as a natural transformation $\def\Vect{{\rm Vect}} \def\Vectc{\Vect_\nabla} \Vectc→Ω^n$ of functors $\def\Man{{\sf Man}} \def\op{{\sf op}} \def\Grpd{{\sf Grpd}} \Man^\op → \Grpd$ …

Which categorical (coproduct-like) operation captures integration of measures?

Yes, there is such a category, namely the category of measurable spaces and morphisms of measurable spaces equipped with fiberwise measures (also known as operator valued weights). See this answer for …

Unit of a Quillen equivalence and fibration

If we write down the lifting square for an arbitrary cofibration $f\colon A→B$ and the unit map $η\colon X→RLX$ (with the bottom map being $b\colon B→RLX$), and then use the adjunction to pass to the …

transfinite composition of weak equivalences in sSet

This answer serves to record two explicit proofs of this fact in the literature: Corollary 5.1 in Raptis and Rosický, “The accessibility rank of weak equivalences”, arXiv:1403.3042v2. Theory and Appl …

Relationship between Kan extensions and internal hom

The analogous adjunction for the enriched category of functors can be deduced from the adjunction for the ordinary category of functors using the Yoneda lemma. Indeed, to establish a natural isomorphi …

Categories disguised as other structures

Spaces (in the sense of homotopy theory). These have many Quillen equivalent models: the Serre–Quillen model structure on topological spaces, the Kan–Quillen model structure on simplicial sets, and t …

Looking for Celeyrette's PhD thesis, "Fibrations et extensions de Kan"

There are two theses by Jean Celeyrette indexed by various libraries: Theoreme de Kan dans un topos (Lille, 1974). Catégories internes et fibrations ; Cohomologie de Gel'fand-Fuks (Paris-Nord, 1975). …

Category of elements and Quillen adjunction

One can do even better than a Quillen adjunction: Theorem 3.8 in A model structure for Grothendieck fibrations establishes a Quillen equivalence between the projective model structure on presheaves of …

Mindset to understand category theory

An approach to studying that works with many branches of mathematics is to learn the prerequisites first, then study a good textbook on the subject. For instance, one could study subjects like algebra …
