In this survey article, we review some conceptual approaches to the cyclic category $Lambda$, as well as its description as a crossed simplicial group. We then give a new proof of the model structure on cyclic sets, work through the details of the generalized Reedy structure on cyclic spaces, and introduce model structures for cyclic Segal spaces and cyclic 2-Segal spaces.

We present an unbiased theory of symmetric multicategories, where sequences are replaced by families. To be effective, this approach requires an explicit consideration of indexing and reindexing of objects and arrows, handled by the double category $dPb$ of pullback squares in finite sets: a symmetric multicategory is a sum preserving discrete fibration of double categories $M: dMto dPb$. If the "loose" part of $M$ is an opfibration we get unbiased symmetric monoidal categories. The definition can be usefully generalized by replacing $dPb$ with another double prop $dP$, as an indexing base, giving $dP$-multicategories. For instance, we can remove the finiteness condition to obtain infinitary symmetric multicategories, or enhance $dPb$ by totally ordering the fibers of its loose arrows to obtain plain multicategories. We show how several concepts and properties find a natural setting in this framework. We also consider cartesian multicategories as algebras for a monad $(-)^cart$ on $sMlt$, where the loose arrows of $dM^cart$ are "spans" of a tight and a loose arrow in $dM$.

Partial difference operators for a large class of functors between presheaf categories are introduced, extending our difference operator from cite{Par24} to the multivariable case. These combine into the Jacobian profunctor which provides the setting for a lax chain rule. We introduce a functorial version of multivariable Newton series whose aim is to recover a functor from its iterated differences. Not all functors are recovered but we get a best approximation in the form of a left adjoint, and the induced comonad is idempotent. Its fixed points are what we call soft analytic functors, a generalization of the multivariable analytic functors of Fiore et al.~cite{FioGamHylWin08}.

We prove a local-global principle for $infty$-categories over any base $infty$-category $mathcal{C}$: we show that any $infty$-category $mathcal{B} to mathcal{C}$ over $mathcal{C}$ is determined by the following data: the collection of fibers $mathcal{B}_X$ for $X$ running through the set of equivalence classes of objects of $mathcal{C}$ endowed with the action of the space of automorphisms $mathrm{Aut}_X(mathcal{B})$ on the fiber, the local data, together with a locally cartesian fibration $mathcal{D} to mathcal{C}$ and $mathrm{Aut}_X(mathcal{B})$-linear equivalences $mathcal{D}_X simeq mathcal{P}(mathcal{B}_X)$ to the $infty$-category of presheaves on $mathcal{B}_X$, the gluing data. As applications we describe the $infty$-category of small $infty$-categories over $[1]$ in terms of the $infty$-category of left fibrations and prove an end formula for mapping spaces of the internal hom of the $infty$-category of small $infty$-categories over $[1]$ and the conditionally existing internal hom of the $infty$-category of small $infty$-categories over any small $infty$-category $mathcal{C}.$ Considering functoriality in $mathcal{C}$ we obtain as a corollary that the double $infty$-category $mathrm{CORR}$ of correspondences is the pullback of the double $infty$-category $mathrm{PR}^L$ of presentable $infty$-categories along the functor $inftymathrm{Cat} to mathrm{Pr}^L$ taking presheaves. We deduce that $infty$-categories over any $infty$-category $mathcal{C}$ are classified by normal lax 2-functors.

We develop a categorical framework for reasoning about abstract properties of differentiation, based on the theory of fibrations. Our work encompasses the first-order fragments of several existing categorical structures for differentiation, including cartesian differential categories, generalised cartesian differential categories, tangent categories, as well as the versions of these categories axiomatising reverse derivatives. We explain uniformly and concisely the requirements expressed by these structures, using sections of suitable fibrations as unifying concept. Our perspective sheds light on their similarities and differences, as well as simplifying certain constructions from the literature.

Cross-connections of normal categories was introduced by K.S.S.Nambooripad while discussing the structure of regular semigroups and via this cross-connections he obtained a beautiful representetion of regualr semigroup called the cross-connection semigroup (see cf.[4]). Subsequently cross-connection representation of various other semigroups such as concordant semigroups, semigroup of endomorphisms of a vector space are also described (cf.[6][5]). In this paper we describe the semigroup amalgam of cross-connection semigroups of the fibers of a vector bundle.

We introduce presheaf automata as a generalisation of different variants of higher-dimensional automata and other automata-like formalisms, including Petri nets and vector addition systems. We develop the foundations of a language theory for them based on notions of paths and track objects. We also define open maps for presheaf automata, extending the standard notions of simulation and bisimulation for transition systems. Apart from these conceptual contributions, we show that certain finite-type presheaf automata subsume all Petri nets, generalising a previous result by van Glabbeek, which applies to higher-dimensional automata and safe Petri nets.

In (Borceux-Janelidze 2001) they prove a Categorical Galois Theorem for ordinary categories, and establish the main result of (Joyal-Tierney 1984), along with the classical Galois theory of Rings, as instances of this more general result. The main result of the present work refines this to a Quasicategorical Galois Theorem, by drawing heavily on the foundation laid in (Lurie 2024). More importantly, the argument used to prove the result is intended to highlight a deep connection between factorization systems (specifically the lex modalities of (Anel-Biedermann-Finster-Joyal 2021)), higher-categorical Galois Theorems, and Galois theories internal to higher toposes. This is the first part in a series of works, intended merely to motivate the lens and prove Theorem 3.4. In future work, we will delve into a generalization of the argument, and offer tools for producing applications.

We develop the theory of tricategorical limits and colimits, and show that they can be modelled up to biequivalence via certain homotopically well-behaved limits and colimits enriched over the monoidal model category $mathbf{Gray}$ of $2$-categories and $2$-functors. This categorifies the relationship that bicategorical limits and colimits have with the so called `flexible' enriched limits in $2$-category theory. As examples, we establish the tricategorical universal properties of Kleisli constructions for pseudomonads, Eilenberg-Moore and Kleisli constructions for (op)monoidal pseudomonads, centre constructions for $mathbf{Gray}$-monoids, and strictifications of bicategories and pseudo-double categories.

We initiate the combinatorial study of the poset $mathrm{wIndex}_{mathcal{T}}$ of weak $mathcal{T}$-indexing systems, consisting of composable collections of arities for $mathcal{T}$-equivariant algebraic structures, where $mathcal{T}$ is an orbital $infty$-category, such as the orbit category of a finite group. In particular, we show that these are equivalent to weak $mathcal{T}$-indexing categories and characterize various unitality conditions. Within this sits a natural generalization $mathrm{Index}_{mathcal{T}} subset mathrm{wIndex}_{mathcal{T}}$ of Blumberg-Hill's indexing systems, consisting of arities for structures possessing binary operations and unit elements. We characterize the relationship between the posets of unital weak indexing systems and indexing systems, the latter remaining isomorphic to transfer systems on this level of generality. We use this to characterize the poset of unital $C_{p^n}$-weak indexing systems.
