am in the process of adding some notes on how the D=5 super Yang-Mills theory on the worldvolume of the D4-brane is the double dimensional reduction of the 6d (2,0)-superconformal QFT in the M5-brane.
started a stubby double dimensional reduction in this context and added some first further pointers and references to M5-brane, to D=5 super Yang-Mills theory and maybe elsewhere.
But this still needs more details to be satisfactory, clearly.
I have started on a revision of algebraic K-theory. The old version launched straight into a particular nPOV, which really just summarised the Blumberg et al paper, and did not mention any of the other ideas in the area. At present I have just put in some historical stuff, but given the importance of the subject e.g. in modern C*-algebra the page needs a lot more work.
created tangent category
in order to have a place where to keep just details on the purely 1-categorical "shadow" of tangent (infinity,1)-category.
definition of -lagrangian subspaces from
should also include Definition 3.18 from that paper (-lagrangian submanifolds) somewhere but there are at least two different relevant entries (multisymplectic geometry, n-plectic geometry).
added pointer to today’s
started something stubby at Liouville theory, for the moment just so as to record some references and provide for a minimum of cross-links (e.g. with Chern-Simons gravity).
(also created a stub for quantum Teichmüller theory in the course of this, but nothing there yet except a pointer to reviews)
creating here a bare list of references, to be !include
-ed into the References-list at relevant entries (notably at Laughlin wavefunction and at conformal block)
added missing pointer to
and pointer to:
The link for ’equivalent’ at the top redirected to natural isomorphism which (as I understand it) is the correct 1-categorical version of an equivalence of functors, but this initially lead me to believe that a functor was monadic iff it was naturally isomorphic to a forgetful functor from the Eilenberg-Moore category of a monad on its codomain, which would mean that the domain of the functor was literally the Eilenberg-Moore category of some adjunction since natural isomorphism is only defined for parallel functors.
I have renamed the entry formerly called (and still redirecting) “connection on a principal infinity-bundle” into connection on a smooth principal infinity-bundle.
I will now start with bringing that entry into shape.
In the same vein I have renamed the entry formerly titled (and still redirecting) “infinity-Chern-Weil theory” into Chern-Weil theory in Smooth∞Grpd.
This way things are set up well for when the legions of students arrive who will do all the analogous discussion in other cohesive -toposes such as , as well as the derived version of all of these. ;-)
Wrote an article Eudoxus real number, a concept due to Schanuel.
added pointer to Elliott-Safronov 18
added pointer to section 7.5 of
I added some references to adjoint triple for the folklore theorem about fully faithful adjoint triples.
edited reflective subcategory and expanded a bit the beginning
Created ε-number.
This is a bare list of references, to be !include
-ed into relevant entries, such as at swampland and 24 branes transverse to K3, for ease of cross-linking and updating.
I am taking the liberty of including a pointer to our upcoming M/F-Theory as Mf-Theory which has some details on a precise version of the conjecture and a proof (from Hypothesis H).
brief category:people
-entry for satisfying links now requested at p-adic Teichmüller theory

added to homotopy coherent nerve two diagrams in the section Examples and illustrations that are supposed to illustrate the hom-SSets of the simplicial category on
Someone deleted the contents of the entry simplicial localization on th 4 April, then another reinstated it on the 5th. Curious!
added pointer to:
added to complete Segal space a discussion of what an ordinary category looks like when regarded as a complete Segal space.
(This is meant to be pedagogical, therefore the recollection of all the basics at the beginning.)
stub for Blakers-Massey theorem. Need to add more references…
some basics at Steenrod algebra
added this pointer on the homotopy groups of the embedded cobordism category:
Marcel Bökstedt, Anne Marie Svane, A geometric interpretation of the homotopy groups of the cobordism category, Algebr. Geom. Topol. 14 (2014) 1649-1676 (arXiv:1208.3370)

Anel and Catren in their introduction to New Spaces in Physics claim that Lagrangian submanifolds are category-theoretic “points” of a symplectic manifold, morphisms from the trivial symplectic manifold in Weinstein’s symplectic category.
Is this accurate?

The entry on topological group could stand more work, but I added some stuff on the uniform structure, in particular the proposition that for group homomorphisms , continuity at a single point guarantees uniform continuity over all of . The proof is follow-your-nose, of course.
What we really need is an entry Haar measure. I’ll get started on that soon.
At coverage, I just made the following change: Where the sheaf condition previously read
it now uses the variable names “” and “” instead of “” and “”:
I’m announcing this almost trivial change because I’d like to invite objections, in which case I’d rollback that change and also would not go on to copy this change to related entries such as sheaf. There are two tiny reasons why I prefer the new variable names:
edited retract a little
In discrete fibration I added a new section on the Street’s definition of a discrete fibration from to , that is the version for spans of internal categories. I do not really understand this added definition, so if somebody has comments or further clarifications…
created (finally) lax monoidal functor (redirecting monoidal functor to that) and strong monoidal functor.
Hope I got the relation to 2-functors right. I remember there was some subtlety to be aware of, but I forget which one. I could look it up, but I guess you can easily tell me.
Todd,
when you see this here and have a minute, would you mind having a look at monoidal category to see if you can remove the query-box discussion there and maybe replace it by some crisp statement?
Thanks!
