Working within enriched category theory, we further develop the use of soundness, introduced by Ad'amek, Borceux, Lack, and Rosick'y for ordinary categories. In particular we investigate: (1) the theory of locally $Phi$-presentable $mathcal V$-categories for a sound class $Phi$, (2) the problem of whether every $Phi$-accessible $mathcal V$-category is $Psi$-accessible, for given sound classes $PhisubseteqPsi$, and (3) a notion of $Phi$-ary equational theory whose $mathcal V$-categories of models characterize algebras for $Phi$-ary monads on $mathcal V$.

We study fibrations arising from indexed categories of the following form: fix two categories $mathcal{A},mathcal{X}$ and a functor $F : mathcal{A} times mathcal{X} longrightarrowmathcal{X} $, so that to each $F_A=F(A,-)$ one can associate a category of algebras $mathbf{Alg}_mathcal{X}(F_A)$ (or an Eilenberg-Moore, or a Kleisli category if each $F_A$ is a monad). We call the functor $int^{mathcal{A}}mathbf{Alg} to mathcal{A}$, whose typical fibre over $A$ is the category $mathbf{Alg}_mathcal{X}(F_A)$, the "fibration of algebras" obtained from $F$. Examples of such constructions arise in disparate areas of mathematics, and are unified by the intuition that $int^mathcal{A}mathbf{Alg} $ is a form of semidirect product of the category $mathcal{A}$, acting on $mathcal{X}$, via the `representation' given by the functor $F : mathcal{A} times mathcal{X} longrightarrowmathcal{X}$. After presenting a range of examples and motivating said intuition, the present work focuses on comparing a generic fibration with a fibration of algebras: we prove that if $mathcal{A}$ has an initial object, under very mild assumptions on a fibration $p : mathcal{E}longrightarrow mathcal{A}$, we can define a canonical action of $mathcal{A}$ letting it act on the fibre $mathcal{E}_varnothing$ over the initial object. This result bears some resemblance to the well-known fact that the fundamental group $pi_1(B)$ of a base space acts naturally on the fibers $F_b = p^{-1}b$ of a fibration $p : E to B$.

We show that any functor between $infty$-categories can be straightened. More precisely, we show that for any $infty$-category $mathcal{C}$, there is an equivalence between the $infty$-category $(mathrm{Cat}_{infty})_{/mathcal{C}}$ of $infty$-categories over $mathcal{C}$ and the $infty$-category of unital lax functors from $mathcal{C}$ to the double $infty$-category $mathrm{Corr}$ of correspondences. The proof relies on a certain universal property of the Morita category which is of independent interest.

We introduce a novel model that interprets the parallel operator, also present in algebraic calculi, within the context of propositional logic. This interpretation uses the category $mathbf{Mag}_{mathbf{Set}}$, whose objects are magmas and whose arrows are functions from the category $mathbf{Set}$, specifically for the case of the parallel lambda calculus. Similarly, we use the category $mathbf{AMag}^{mathcal S}_{mathbf{Set}}$, whose objects are action magmas and whose arrows are also functions from the category $mathbf{Set}$, for the case of the algebraic lambda calculus. Our approach diverges from conventional interpretations where disjunctions are handled by coproducts, instead proposing to handle them with the union of disjoint union and the Cartesian product.

We study the framework of $infty$-equipments which is designed to produce well-behaved theories for different generalizations of $infty$-categories in a synthetic and uniform fashion. We consider notions of (lax) functors between these equipments, closed monoidal structures on these equipments, and fibrations internal to these equipments. As a main application, we will demonstrate that the foundations of internal $infty$-category theory can be readily obtained using this formalism.

In this paper, we study double $infty$-categories of double functors. To this end, we exhibit the cartesian closed structure of the $infty$-category of double $infty$-categories and various localizations. We prove a theorem that characterizes the companions and conjoints in functor double $infty$-categories via the notion of companionable and conjointable 2-cells in double $infty$-categories. Moreover, we show that under suitable conditions, functor double $infty$-categories are horizontally closed. Throughout the paper, we highlight a few applications to $(infty,2)$-category theory and indexed exponentiability.

We investigate the most general gauging operations in 2+1 dimensional oriented field theories with finite symmetry groups, which correspond to gapped boundary conditions in 3+1 dimensional Dijkgraaf-Witten theory. The classification is achieved by enumerating 2+1 dimensional oriented topological quantum field theories that cancel the 't Hooft anomaly associated with the symmetry. This framework is rigorously formulated using twisted crossed extensions of modular fusion categories and projective 3-representations. Additionally, we explore the resulting fusion 2-category symmetries and argue that this framework captures all possible categorical symmetries in 2+1 dimensional oriented field theories.

Extriangulated categories, introduced by Nakaoka and Palu, serve as a simultaneous generalization of exact and triangulated categories. In this paper, we first introduce the concept of admissible weak factorization systems and establish a bijection between cotorsion pairs and admissible weak factorization systems in extriangulated categories. Consequently, we give the equivalences between hereditary cotorsion pairs and compatible cotorsion pairs via admissible weak factorization systems under certain conditions in extriangulated categories, thereby generalizing a result by Di, Li, and Liang.

We study the fusion 3-categorical symmetries for quantum theories in (3+1)d with self-duality defects. Such defects have been realized physically by half-space gauging in theories with 1-form symmetries $A[1]$ for an abelian group $A$, and have found applications in the continuum and the lattice. These fusion 3-categories will be called (generalized) Tambara-Yamagami fusion 3-categories $(mathbf{3TY})$. We consider the Brauer-Picard and Picard 4-groupoids to construct these categories using a 3-categorical version of the extension theory introduced by Etingof, Nikshych and Ostrik. These two 4-groupoids correspond to the construction of duality defects either directly in 4d, or from the 5d Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT). The Witt group of non-degenerate braided fusion 1-categories naturally appears in the aforementioned 4-groupoids and represents enrichments of standard duality defects by (2+1)d TFTs. Our main objective is to study graded extensions of the fusion 3-category $mathbf{3Vect}(A[1])$. Firstly, we use invertible bimodule 3-categories and the Brauer-Picard 4-groupoid. Secondly, we use that the Brauer-Picard 4-groupoid of $mathbf{3Vect}(A[1])$ can be identified with the Picard 4-groupoid of its Drinfeld center. Moreover, the Drinfeld center of $mathbf{3Vect}(A[1])$, which represents topological defects of the SymTFT, is completely described by a sylleptic strongly fusion 2-category formed by topological surface defects of the SymTFT. These are classified by a finite abelian group equipped with an alternating 2-form. We relate the Picard 4-groupoid of the corresponding braided fusion 3-categories with a generalized Witt group constructed from certain graded braided fusion 1-categories using a twisted Deligne tensor product. We perform explicit computations for $mathbb{Z}/2$ and $mathbb{Z}/4$ graded $mathbf{3TY}$ categories.
