A Survey of Graphical Languages for Monoidal Categories

TL;DR: In this article, a reference guide to various notions of monoidal categories and their associated string diagrams is presented, which is useful not only to mathematicians, but also to physicists, computer scientists, and others who use diagrammatic reasoning.

Higher dimensional algebra and topological quantum field theory

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the k-fold suspension of a weak n-category stabilizes for k≥n+2, and its relation to stable homotopy theory was discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Traced monoidal categories

TL;DR: Traced monoidal categories are introduced, a structure theorem is proved for them, and an example is provided where the structure theorem has application as discussed by the authors. But this is not the case for all categories.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a vocabulary from category theory, including Cobordisms, TQFTs, Frobenius algebras, and monoids and monoidal categories.

On braided fusion categories I

TL;DR: In this paper, a new notion of the core of a braided fusion category is introduced, which allows to separate the part of a fusion category that does not come from finite groups.
