The Baum–Connes conjecture via localisation of categories
Ralf Meyer,Ryszard Nest +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Baum-Connes assembly map is defined using simplicial approximation in the equivariant Kasparov category, which is ideal for studying functorial properties.
The Quantum Double of Tensor Categories and Subfactors
TL;DR: In this article, a generalization of this and other results to the quantum double (center) of more general tensor categories is presented, where simple objects of a braided tensor category Z(C) are analyzed in terms of Ocneanu's tube algebra and shown to be weakly monoidally Morita equivalent.

Modules croisés généralisés de longueur 2
TL;DR: In this article, a simplicial group G can be expressed as successive semi-direct products of terms of its Moore complex N (G ), and conditions on the Moore complex of the p coskeleton of G.
Categorical semantics of linear logic
TL;DR: In this article, the authors voulu guider le lecteur a travers la thematique, en lui tracant un chemin progressif et raisonne, which part des mecanismes symboliques de l'elimination des coupures, pour aboutir a leur transcription algebrique en diagrammes de coherence dans les categories monoidales.

On an intuitionistic modal logic
Gavin Bierman,Valeria de Paiva +1 more
TL;DR: This paper considers an intuitionistic variant of the modal logic S4 (which it is called IS4), and places particular importance on the natural deduction formulation of IS4— this formulation has several important metatheoretic properties.
