Adjoint to "strict twocategory of strict twofunctors"
Let C be the category of strict twofunctors, featuring the addition of a Grothendieck universe. Strict twocategories are categories enriched over the category of categories.
C has an internal hom ...

Morphism of tensor functors in rigid tensor categories
This is a cross-post from MSE.
$\require{AMScd}$
The following proposition (1.13) is given in Tannakian Categories (loosely paraphrased with some change in notation).
Assume that $(F,c),(G,d):\...

Trace morphism in Deligne/Milne's "Tannakian categories"
I originally posted this on MSE, but only got a comment linking an article (Bontea and Nikshych's "Pointed braided tensor categories"). So I'll repost the question in full here:
Is there a ...

Is the symmetry compatibility condition in Fox's theorem necessary?
Let $(\mathscr V, \otimes, 1, \sigma)$ be a symmetric strict monoidal category whose unit is terminal. Suppose that every object $A$ is equipped with the structure of a cocommutative comonoid $1 \...

Are the minimal nondegenerate extensions universal?
We reference [EGNO] for the concept of a braided fusion category. Following the conventions in [JFR], let $\mathcal{C}$ denote a braided fusion category equipped with a braiding $\beta$, and let $\...

Is a symmetric monoidal category ("tensor-category" in P. Deligne & J.S. Milne's vocabulary) neccessarily locally small?
Let $(\mathcal{C},\otimes,\mathbf{1},\phi,\psi)$ (I will denote this by just $(\mathcal{C},\otimes)$) be a tensor-category (in P. Deligne & J.S. Milne's vocabulary, see https://www.jmilne.org/math/...

Tensor product of modules in model vs. infinity categories
Let $C$ be a combinatorial symmetric monoidal model category and let $A$ be a associative algebra object in $C$, that is cofibrant as an object in $C$. In Higher Algebra 4.3.3.17, Lurie proves an ...

Symmetric-monoidal-associative smash product up to homotopy
I am thinking about sequential spectra. I am trying to figure out if the smash product here is symmetric monoidal associative up to homotopy. See definition 3.16 in the above.
Recall that a sequential ...

Is the free algebra functor over an $\infty$-operad symmetric monoidal?
Suppose $F: \mathcal{O}^\otimes \to \mathcal{P}^\otimes$ is a map of $\infty$-operads, and $\mathcal{C}$ is a symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category that admits small colimits, such that the tensor ...

The change-of-monoid adjunction between categories of modules induced by a morphism of monoids
Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a cocomplete closed symmetric monoidal category. Let $A, B$ be monoids in $\mathcal{M}$ and $f: A \rightarrow B$ be a morphism of monoids. The morphism $f$ induces the extension ...

Is the symmetric monoidal product on the $\infty$-category of $R$-modules unique?
In Higher Algebra 4.2.8.19, Lurie shows that the symmetric monoidal structure on spectra is uniquely defined (on the $\infty$-category level) by the following properties:
The sphere spectrum is the ...

Why are enriched (co)ends defined like that?
I'm mainly following references such as Kelly, Loregian and the nLab, and it seems customary there to generalize (co)ends to the enriched context (over a symmetric monoidal category $\mathcal{V}$) by ...
