In category theory, a branch of mathematics, a symmetric monoidal category is a monoidal category (i.e. a category in which a "tensor product" is defined) such that the tensor product is symmetric (i.e. is, in a certain strict sense, naturally isomorphic to for all objects and of the category). One of the prototypical examples of a symmetric monoidal category is the category of vector spaces over some fixed field k, using the ordinary tensor product of vector spaces. (Wikipedia).
Categories 6 Monoidal categories
This lecture is part of an online course on categories. We define strict monoidal categories, and then show how to relax the definition by introducing coherence conditions to define (non-strict) monoidal categories. We finish by defining symmetric monoidal categories and showing how super

Symmetric Groups (Abstract Algebra)
Symmetric groups are some of the most essential types of finite groups. A symmetric group is the group of permutations on a set. The group of permutations on a set of n-elements is denoted S_n. Symmetric groups capture the history of abstract algebra, provide a wide range of examples in

Stable Homotopy Seminar, 13: The Smash Product
I describe a bunch of desirable properties of the smash product on spectra, and then prove Lewis's theorem that no category of spectra has them. However, there are ways of sacrificing one or the other of the properties and getting something fairly well-behaved. The earliest attempts are Bo

In this video we construct a symmetric group from the set that contains the six permutations of a 3 element group under composition of mappings as our binary operation. The specifics topics in this video include: permutations, sets, groups, injective, surjective, bijective mappings, onto

What is the definition of a monomial and polynomials with examples
👉 Learn how to classify polynomials based on the number of terms as well as the leading coefficient and the degree. When we are classifying polynomials by the number of terms we will focus on monomials, binomials, and trinomials, whereas classifying polynomials by the degree will focus on

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

Lecture 7: Hochschild homology in ∞-categories
In this video, we construct Hochschild homology in an arbitrary symmetric-monoidal ∞-category. The most important special case is the ∞-category of spectra, in which we get Topological Hochschild homology. Feel free to post comments and questions at our public forum at https://www.uni-mu
