The correspondence between the concept of conditional flatness and admissibility in the sense of Galois appears in the context of localization functors in any semi-abelian category admitting a fiberwise localization. It is then natural to wonder what happens in the category of crossed modules where fiberwise localization is not always available. In this article, we establish an equivalence between conditional flatness and admissibility in the sense of Galois (for the class of regular epimorphisms) for regular-epi localization functors. We use this equivalence to prove that nullification functors are admissible for the class of regular epimorphisms, even if the kernels of their localization morphisms are not acyclic.

We give a new categorical approach to the Halmos–von Neumann theorem for actions of general topological groups. As a first step, we establish that the categories of topological and measure-preserving irreducible systems with discrete spectrum are equivalent. This allows to prove the Halmos–von Neumann theorem in the framework of topological dynamics. We then use the Pontryagin and Tannaka–Krein duality theories to obtain classification results for topological and then measure-preserving systems with discrete spectrum. As a byproduct, we obtain a complete isomorphism invariant for compactifications of a fixed topological group.

It is well-known that the maximalization of a coaction of a locally compact group on a C*-algebra enjoys a universal property. We show how this important property can be deduced from a categorical framework by exploiting certain properties of the maximalization functor for coactions. We also provide a dual proof for the universal property of normalization of coactions.

There are several prominent duality results in pointfree topology. Hofmann–Lawson duality establishes that the category of continuous frames is dually equivalent to the category of locally compact sober spaces. This restricts to a dual equivalence between the categories of stably continuous frames and stably locally compact spaces, which further restricts to Isbell duality between the categories of compact regular frames and compact Hausdorff spaces. We show how to derive these dualities from Priestley duality for distributive lattices, thus shedding new light on these classic results.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a topological groupoid extension and relate it to the already existing notion of a gerbe over a topological stack. We further study the properties of a gerbe over a Hurewicz (resp. Serre) stack.

We survey the theory of Hopf monads on monoidal categories, and present new examples and applications. As applications, we utilise this machinery to present a new theory of cross products, as well as analogues of the Fundamental Theorem of Hopf algebras and Radford’s biproduct Theorem for Hopf algebroids. Additionally, we describe new examples of Hopf monads which arise from Galois and Ore extensions of bialgebras. We also classify Lawvere theories whose corresponding monads on the category of sets and functions become Hopf, as well as Hopf monads on the poset of natural numbers.

We introduce maximal ordered groupoids and study some of their properties. Also, we use the Ehresmann–Schein–Nambooripad Theorem, which establishes a one-to-one correspondence between inverse semigroups and a class of ordered groupoids, to prove a Galois correspondence for the case of inverse semigroups acting orthogonally on commutative rings.

We construct the main object of the Partite Lemma as the colimit over a certain diagram. This gives a purely category theoretic take on the Partite Lemma and establishes the canonicity of the object. Additionally, the categorical point of view allows us to unify the direct Partite Lemma in Nešetřil and Rödl (J Comb Theory Ser A 22(3):289–312, 1977; J Comb Theory Ser A 34(2):183–201, 1983; Discrete Math 75(1–3):327–334, 1989) with the dual Paritite Lemma in Solecki (J Comb Theory Ser A 117(6):704–714, 2010).

We apply the theory of weighted bicategorical colimits to study the problem of existence and computation of such colimits of birepresentations of finitary bicategories. The main application of our results is the complete classification of simple transitive birepresentations of a bicategory studied previously by Zimmermann. The classification confirms a conjecture he has made.
