Categories in category theory

Connected category

In category theory, a branch of mathematics, a connected category is a category in which, for every two objects X and Y there is a finite sequence of objects with morphisms or for each 0 ≤ i < n (both directions are allowed in the same sequence). Equivalently, a category J is connected if each functor from J to a discrete category is constant. In some cases it is convenient to not consider the empty category to be connected. A stronger notion of connectivity would be to require at least one morphism f between any pair of objects X and Y. Any category with this property is connected in the above sense. A small category is connected if and only if its underlying graph is weakly connected, meaning that it is connected if one disregard the direction of the arrows. Each category J can be written as a disjoint union (or coproduct) of a collection of connected categories, which are called the connected components of J. Each connected component is a full subcategory of J. (Wikipedia).

What are Connected Graphs? | Graph Theory

What is a connected graph in graph theory? That is the subject of today's math lesson! A connected graph is a graph in which every pair of vertices is connected, which means there exists a path in the graph with those vertices as endpoints. We can think of it this way: if, by traveling acr

Graph Theory: 05. Connected and Regular Graphs

We give the definition of a connected graph and give examples of connected and disconnected graphs. We also discuss the concepts of the neighbourhood of a vertex and the degree of a vertex. This allows us to define a regular graph, and we give some examples of these. --An introduction to

Connectedness

In this video, I define connectedness, which is a very important concept in topology and math in general. Essentially, it means that your space only consists of one piece, whereas disconnected spaces have two or more pieces. I also define the related notion of path-connectedness. Topology

Jamie Scott (9/23/21): Applications of Surgery to a Generalized Rudyak Conjecture

Rudyak’s conjecture states that cat (M) is at least cat (N) given a degree one map f between the closed manifolds M and N. In the recent paper "Surgery Approach to Rudyak's Conjecture", the following theorem was proven: Theorem. Let f from M to N be a normal map of degree one between clos

Higher Algebra 10: E_n-Algebras

In this video we introduce E_n-Algebras in arbitrary symmetric monoidal infinity-categories. These interpolate between associated algebras (= E_1) and commutative algebras (= E_infinity). We also establish some categorical properties and investigate the case of the symmetric monoidal infin

Tudor Dimofte - 3d SUSY Gauge Theory and Quantum Groups at Roots of Unity

Topological twists of 3d N=4 gauge theories naturally give rise to non-semisimple 3d TQFT's. In mathematics, prototypical examples of the latter were constructed in the 90's (by Lyubashenko and others) from representation categories of small quantum groups at roots of unity; they were rece
