Introduction to Categories and Categorical Logic

TL;DR: The authors provide a succinct, accessible introduction to some of the basic ideas of category theory and categorical logic, using lecture notes from a lecture course given at Oxford over the past few years.

Topological Field Theory, Higher Categories, and Their Applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline two application of higher-dimensional TFTs, one is related to the problem of classifying monoidal deformations of the derived category of coherent sheaves, and the other one is geometric Langlands duality.
Book ChapterDOI

What is a Logic

TL;DR: This paper builds on the theory of institutions, a version of abstract model theory that emerged in computer science studies of software specification and semantics that uses an extension of traditional categorical logic with sets of sentences as objects instead of single sentences, and with morphisms representing proofs as usual.
Book

Commutative Algebra: Constructive Methods : Finite Projective Modules

TL;DR: A detailed introduction to various basic concepts, methods, principles, and results of commutative algebra can be found in this paper, where the authors take a constructive viewpoint and study algorithmic approaches alongside several abstract classical theories, such as Galois theory, Dedekind rings, Prfer rings, finitely generated projective modules, dimension theory of Commutative rings and others.

Semistrict higher gauge theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the dierential Deligne cohomology underlying semistrict principal 2-bundles with connective structures is described and a twistor construction is used to derive superconformal constraint equations in six dimensions.
