    • I have moved a Properties-section to strict n-category, taken from (infinity,n)-category (where it serves as a preliminary), which collects the statements from section 2 of Barwick&Schommer-Pries (see the refereces there).

    • Just to be clear, if at wrapped cycle ϕ *[Σ]\phi_\ast [\Sigma] is a multiple of a cycle cc, would we or wouldn’t we say it wrapped it?

    • I finally learned about the general abstract story behind the notion of orientation in RR-cohomology, for RR an E E_\infty-ring, in terms of trivialization of GL 1(R)GL_1(R)-associated \infty-bundles – from this lecture by Mike Hopkins

      I added some remark about that to orientation in generalized cohomology. Needs more polishing and expansion, but I have to interrupt for the moment.

    • I thought this should be better developed, and it is. Following the work of Sundholm and Ranta, several people are trying to use dependent type theory to understand natural language. This involves a range of things philosophers care about: anaphora, polysemy, modality, factivity, etc.

      It should be interesting to bring this work into contact with the work here on dependent type theory in mathematics and physics. Already I see an overlap in the analysis of modality via a type of worlds, between us here and them in Resolving Modal Anaphora in Dependent Type Semantics on p. 89.

      So I’ve started a page dependent type theoretic methods in natural language semantics to list references, and later results.

    • I gave the entry super vector space some expositional background and a more detailed (pedantic) definition.

    • Added link to group extension entry at https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/group+extension

      diff, v7, current

    • added some actual text to the category:people entry Roger Penrose

    • I was looking for a place to record a somewhat more global overview of the notion of locally presentable category, its related notions and its generalizations to higher category theory. But somehow all of the existing entries feel too narrow in focus to accomodate this. So I ended up creating now a new entry titled

      Think of this as accomodating material such as one might present in a seminar talk that is meant to bring people with some basic background up to speed with the relevant notions, without going into the wealth of technical lemmas.

      I only just started. Will continue in a moment after a short break…

    • The definition and the annotated bibliography are given for Feynman category.

      I wonder how useful this could be in related to elucidate the cohomological and motivic quantization via correspondences (Kan extensions in the setup of Feynman categories can help getting the pushforwards, Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra, Feynman transform (which in some cases gives coefficients in the formal development of the Feynman integal, basically being partition functions, hence connection to graphs).

    • added statement of the universal property (here), first in classical form, then using the sharp modality, and added remark that this should be the categorical semantics of Mike’s remark 3.14 in arXiv:1509.07584
