The algebra of open and interconnected systems

TL;DR: This thesis develops the theory of hypergraph categories and introduces the tools of decorated cospans and corelations, a more powerful version that permits construction of all hyper graph categories and hypergraph functors.

Derived Categories

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide solid foundations for the theory of derived categories, and present several applications of this theory in commutative and non-commutative algebra, rather than on axiomatics.

A model category for the homotopy theory of concurrency

TL;DR: In this article, a cofibrantly generated model structure on the category of flows such that any flow is fibrant and such that two co-fibrant flows are homotopy equivalent for this model structure if and only if they are S-homotopy equivalence.

Typing linear algebra: A biproduct-oriented approach

TL;DR: In this paper, an index-free, calculational approach to matrix algebra can be developed by regarding matrices as morphisms of a category with biproducts, which shifts the traditional view of matrix algebra as indexed structures to a type-level perspective analogous to that of the pointfree algebra of programming.

Support theory via actions of tensor triangulated categories

Greg Stevenson
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the action of a tensor triangulated category T on a triplet category K is defined and a sufficient condition for it to hold is given, and a suitable version of the local-to-global principle holds very generally.
