## Idea
{#Idea}
In full [[linear logic]] [[Girard 1987](#Girard1987)] and more generally in [[linear type theory]] there is assumed a (comonadic) [[modality]] traditionally denoted "!" whose role is to model the "underlying" classical [[intuitionistic type theory|(intuitionistic) type]] of a given [[linear type]].
This is alternatively called the "exponential modality" (for good reasons discussed [below](#TheExponentialCondition)), or "storage modality" (as it allows to duplicate and hence "store" otherwise linear data) and sometimes pronounced "of course" (intended alongside "necessarily" and "possibly" as used in [[modal logic]]) or even "bang" (just in reference to the symbol "!").
In classical linear logic (meaning with involutive [[de Morgan duality]]), the de Morgan dual of "!" is denoted "?" and then sometimes pronounced "why not".
Today it is understood (cf. [Melliès 2009](#Melliès09), [p. 36](/nlab/files/Mellies-CategoricalSemanticsLinear.pdf#page=36))
that the exponential modality is best and generally to be thought as as, first of all a *[[comonad]]* on [[linear types]] ([Seely 1989 Β§2](#Seely89), [dePaiva 1989](#dePaiva89), [Benton, Bierman, de Paiva and Hyland 1992](#BBPH92)) which, secondly, is [induced](monad#RelationBetweenAdjunctionsAndMonads) by an adjunction to classical (meaning here: non-linear [[intuitionistic type theory|intuitionistic]]) types with special [[monoidal functor|monoidal]] properties ([Seely 1989 Β§2](#Seely89), [Bierman 1994 pp. 157](#Bierman94), [Benton 1995](#Benton95)).
In a most elementary and illuminating example (which may not have received the attention it deserves, cf. the history at *[[quantum logic]]*):
* classical intuitionistic types form (are interpreted in) the category of [[Sets]]
$ClaTypes \,\coloneqq\, Set$
* linear types form (are interpreted in) the category of [[vector spaces]] (cf. [Murfet 2014](linear+logic#Murfet14))
$LinTypes \,\coloneqq\, Vect_{\mathbb{K}}$
and the [[adjoint functors]] in question are
* forming the [[linear span]] of a set
$$
\array{
Set &\overset{\mathrm{Q}}{\longrightarrow}& Vect
\\
W &\mapsto& \oplus_W \mathbb{1}
}
$$
* forming the [[underlying set]] of a [[vector space]]:
$$
\array{
Vect &\overset{\mathrm{C}}{\longrightarrow}& Set
\\
\mathscr{V} &\mapsto& Hom(\mathbb{1}, \, \mathscr{V})
}
$$
in which case the exponential modality acts by sending a vector space to the linear span of its underlying set
\[
\array{
Vect &\overset{\;\; ! \;\;}{\longrightarrow}& Vect
\\
\mathscr{V} &\mapsto& \underset{\mathscr{V}}{\bigoplus} \mathbb{1}
\,.
}
\]
One sees that this construction takes ([[direct sums|direct]]) sums to ([[tensor product of vector spaces|tensor]]) products
$$
!(\mathscr{V} \oplus \mathscr{V}')
\;\simeq\;
(! \mathscr{V}) \otimes (! \mathscr{V}')
$$
and zero ([[zero object|objects]]) to unit ([[unit object|objects]])
$$
! 0
\;\simeq\;
\mathbb{1}
$$
as expected of any [[exponential map]], whence the name "exponential modality".
This example is the 0-sector of the more famous *[[stabilization]]* ([[(infinity,1)-adjoint functor|$\infty$-]])adjunction $(\Sigma_+^\infty \dashv \Omega_+^\infty)$ between (the [[homotopy theory]] of) [[topological spaces]] and (the [[stable homotopy theory]] of) [[module spectra|module]] [[spectra]] equipped with the [[symmetric smash product of spectra]] (given by forming [[suspension spectra]] $X \mapsto \Sigma_+^\infty X$), which points to a deeper origin of the "exponential modality", see [below](#RealizationInLinearHomotopyTypeTheory) and at *[[linear homotopy type theory]]* for more on this.

## Categorical semantics
Following [Seely 1989](#Seely89), [dePaiva 1989](#dePaiva89), [Benton, Bierman, de Paiva and Hyland 1992](#BBPH92) it is common convention that "!" should be a [[comonad]] on the type system (and ? should be a [[monad]], see also at *[[monads in computer science]]*), but there is some room in which further axioms to impose.
The goal is to capture the syntactic rules allowing assumptions of the form $!A$ to be duplicated and discarded.
### Intuitionistic case
The definition from [Seely](#Seely89), adapted to the intuitionistic case and modernized, is:
+-- {: .num_defn}
###### Definition
Let $LinTypes$ be
* a [[cartesian monoidal category]], with [[Cartesian product]] "$\times$" and [[tensor unit]] the [[terminal object]] $\ast$.
which *in addition* carries the [[structure]] of
* a [[symmetric monoidal category]] with respect to a [[tensor product]] $\otimes$ with [[tensor unit]] $\mathbb{1}$.
A **Seely comonad** on $LinTypes$ is a [[comonad]] that is a [[strong monoidal functor|strong monoidal]] as a functor from cartesian monoidal structure $\times$ to the other monoidal structure $\otimes$:
$$
(LinTypes, \times)
\xrightarrow{ \; ! \; }
(LinTypes, \otimes)
$$
meaning that there are [[natural transformations]] of the form
\[
\label{StrongMonoidalPropertyOfExponential}
A,\, B \colon LinTypes
\;\;\;\;\;\;\;
\vdash
\;\;\;\;\;\;\;
!(A \times B)
\;\cong\;
(!A) \otimes (!B)
\]
and
\[
! \ast \;\;\simeq\;\; \mathbb{1}
\,.
\]
=--
(There is also an additional [[coherence]] [[axiom]] that should be imposed; see [Melliès 2009, section 7.3](#Melliès09).)
\begin{remark}\label{TheExponentialCondition}
**(the exponential condition)**
\linebreak
In [[linear logic]], the cartesian monoidal structure on linear types is often denoted "$\&$" ("[[additive conjunction]]"), in which case the condition (eq:StrongMonoidalPropertyOfExponential) reads
\[
!(A \& B)
\;\cong\;
(!A) \otimes (!B)
\,.
\]
But in key examples of categories of (the multiplicative fragment of) linear logic (such as [[Vect]], cf. [Murfet 2014](linear+logic#Murfet14)), the [[cartesian product]] is actually a [[biproduct]], hence a [[direct sum]], in which case the condition on the exponential modality is that
*it takes (direct) sums to (tensor) products*
\[
!(A \oplus B)
\;\cong\;
(!A) \otimes (!B)
\]
*it takes zero (objects) to unit (objects)*
\[
! 0
\;\cong\;
\mathbb{1}
\]
as befits any [[exponential map]] and may explain the choice of terminology here.
\end{remark}
This condition implies that the [[Kleisli category of a comonad|Kleisli category]] of $!$ (i.e. the category of cofree !-coalgebras) is cartesian monoidal. If $LinTypes$ is *[[closed monoidal category|closed]]* symmetric monoidal then the Kleisli category of a [[cartesian closed category]], which is a categorical version of the translation of intuitionistic logic into linear logic.
Of course, the above definition depends on the existence of the cartesian product. A different definition that doesn't require the existence of $\times$ was given by [Benton, Bierman, de Paiva, and Hyland](#BBPH92):
+-- {: .num_defn}
###### Definition
Let $LinTypes$ be a [[symmetric monoidal category]]; a **linear exponential comonad** on $LinTypes$ is a [[lax monoidal functor|lax monoidal]] comonad such that every cofree !-coalgebra naturally carries the structure of a [[comonoid object]] in the category of coalgebras (i.e. the cofree-coalgebra functor lifts to the category of comonoids in the category of coalgebras).
=--
It follows automatically that all !-coalgebras are comonoids, and therefore that the category of all !-coalgebras (not just the cofree ones) is cartesian monoidal. Note that for a comonad on a [[poset]], every coalgebra is free; thus the world of pure propositional "logic" doesn't tell us whether to consider the Kleisli category or the Eilenberg-Moore category for the translation.
A more even-handed approach is the following (see [Benton (1995)](#Benton95) and [Melliès (2009)](#Melliès09)), based on the observation that both Kleisli and Eilenberg-Moore categories are instances of adjunctions.
\begin{definition}
\label{LinearNonlinearAdjunction}
A **linear-nonlinear adjunction** is a [[monoidal adjunction]] $F \colon ClaTypes \rightleftarrows LinTypes \colon G$ in which $LinTypes$ is symmetric monoidal and $ClaTypes$ is cartesian monoidal. The induced !-modality is the induced [[comonad]] $F G$ on $LinTypes$.
\end{definition}
This includes both of the previous definitions where $M$ is taken respectively to be the Kleisli category or the Eilenberg-Moore category of !. Conversely, in any linear-nonlinear adjunction the induced comonad $F G$ can be shown to be a linear exponential comonad. Moreover, if $!$ is a linear exponential comonad on a symmetric monoidal category $LinTypes$ with finite products, then the cofree !-coalgebra functor is a right adjoint and hence preserves cartesian products; but the cartesian products of coalgebras are the tensor products in $C$, so we have $!(A\times B) \cong !A \otimes !B$, the Seely condition.
### Classical case
For "classical" linear logic, we want $LinTypes$ to be not just (closed) symmetric monoidal but $\ast$-[[star-autonomous category|autonomous]]. If an $\ast$-autonomous category has a linear exponential comonad $!$ one can derive a ? from the ! by [[de Morgan duality]], $?A = \big(!(A^*)\big)^*$. The resulting relationship between ! and ? was axiomatized in a way not requiring the de Morgan duality by [Blute, Cockett & Seely (1996)](#BluteCockettSeely96):
+-- {: .num_defn}
###### Definition
Let $LinTypes$ be a [[linearly distributive category]] with tensor product $\otimes$ and cotensor product $\parr$. A (!,?)-modality on $LinTypes$ consists of:
1. a $\otimes$-monoidal comonad ! and a $\parr$-comonoidal monad ?
1. ? is a !-strong monad, and ! is a ?-strong comonad
1. all free !-coalgebras are naturally commutative $\otimes$-comonoids, and all free ?-algebras are naturally commutative $\parr$-monoids.
=--
Here a functor $F$ is [[strong functor|strong]] with respect to a [[lax monoidal functor]] $G$ if there is a [[natural transformation]] of the form $F A \otimes G B \to F(A\otimes G B)$ satisfying some natural axioms, and we similarly require compatibility of the monad and comonad structure transformations. [BCS96](#BluteCockettSeely96) showed that if $LinTypes$ is in fact $\ast$-autonomous, it follows from the above definition that $?A = \big(!(A^*)\big)^*$, as expected.
## Examples
### Relation to Chu construction
\begin{theorem}
Suppose $F \colon M \rightleftarrows C : G$ is a linear-nonlinear adjunction (Def. \ref{LinearNonlinearAdjunction}), where $C$ is closed symmetric monoidal with finite limits and colimits, and $\bot\in C$ is an object. Then there is an induced linear-nonlinear adjunction $M \rightleftarrows Chu(C,\bot)$ where $Chu(C,\bot)$ is the [[Chu construction]] $Chu(C,\bot)$, which is $\ast$-autonomous with finite limits and colimits. Hence $Chu(C,\bot)$ admits a !-modality.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
The embedding of $C$ in $Chu(C,\bot)$ as $A \mapsto (A, [A,\bot], ev)$ is coreflective: the coreflection of $(B^+, B^-, e_B)$ is $(B^+, [B^+,\bot], ev)$. Moreover, this subcategory is closed under the tensor product of $Chu(C,\bot)$, i.e. the embedding $C\hookrightarrow Chu(C,\bot)$ is strong monoidal, hence the adjunction is a monoidal adjunction. Therefore, the composite adjunction $M \rightleftarrows C \rightleftarrows Chu(C,\bot)$ is again a linear-nonlinear-adjunction.
\end{proof}
Note that this theorem is a direct consequence of the work of [[Yves Lafont]] and [[Thomas Streicher]] on game semantics using the Chu construction, together with Benton's reformulation of linear logic in terms of monoidal adjunctions. Since a Chu construction is $\ast$-autonomous, this !-modality implies a dual ?-modality.
\begin{corollary}
If $C$ is a cartesian closed category with finite limits and colimits and $\bot\in C$ is an object, then there is a linear-nonlinear adjunction $C \rightleftarrows Chu(C,\bot)$, and hence $Chu(C,\bot)$ admits a !-modality.
\end{corollary}
\begin{proof}
Apply the previous theorem to the identity adjunction $C\rightleftarrows C$.
\end{proof}
Note that the !-modality obtained from the corollary is [[idempotent comonad|idempotent]], while that obtained from the theorem is idempotent if and only if the original one was. Other ways of constructing !-modalities, such as by cofree coalgebras, may produce examples that are not idempotent.
### Realization in linear homotopy type theory
{#RealizationInLinearHomotopyTypeTheory}
In [[dependent linear homotopy type theory]] the "linear-nonlinear adjunction" is naturally identified ([Ponto & Shulman (2012), Ex. 4.2](#PontoShulman12), see also [Schreiber (2014), Sec. 4.2](#Schreiber14)) with the [[stabilization]] [[adjoint functor|adjunction]] between [[homotopy types]] and [[stable homotopy types]] ([Riley (2022), Prop. 2.1.31](#Riley22Thesis)), whose [[left adjoint]] (forming [[suspension spectra]] $\Sigma^\infty_+$) is equivalently given (cf. [Riley (2022), Rem. 2.4.13](#Riley22Thesis)) by sending $B \,\colon\, Type$ to the linear [[dependent sum]] $\star_B \mathbb{1} \;\coloneqq\; (p_B)_! (p_B)^\ast \mathbb{1}$ over the monoidal unit in the context $B$. In terms of [quantum modal logic](necessity+and+possibility#ModalQuantumLogic) this is forming the "linear randomization" of the given classical homotopy type (its "[[motive]]"):
\[
\label{MotivizationInLHott}
\]
\begin{imagefromfile}
"file_name": "MotivizationInLHoTT-230825b.jpg",
"width": "460",
"unit": "px",
"margin": {
"top": -20,
"bottom": 20,
"right": 0,
"left": 10
}
\end{imagefromfile}
Curiously, this homotopy-theoretic realization of the exponential modality (beware the little subtlety of whether or not to reflect onto [[pointed homotopy types]])
$$
\Sigma^\infty \circ \Omega^\infty
\;\colon\;
Spectra \to Spectra
$$
has independently been argued to have properties of an [[exponential map]] in the context of [[Goodwillie calculus]], see [there](Goodwillie+calculus#GoodwillieDerivativeOfExponentialModality).
{#ComonadicityOfClassicalOverLinearHomotopyTypes} Moreover $\Sigma^\infty \dashv \Omega^\infty$ is a [[comonadic adjunction]] on [[simply connected homotopy type|simply connected]] [[homotopy types]] [[Blomquist & Harper 2016 Thm. 1.8](#BlomquistHarper16); [Hess & Kedziorek 2017 Thm. 3.11](#HessKedziorek17)], meaning that simply-connected classical (but [[pointed homotopy types|pointed]]) homotopy types are identified with the $\Sigma^\infty \Omega^\infty$-[[modales]] among [[stable homotopy types]].
## Modal term calculi
Girard's original presentation of linear logic involved rules that explicitly assumed the presence of $!$ on hypotheses or on entire contexts, such as [[dereliction rule| dereliction]], [[weakening rule|weakening]] and [[contraction rule|contraction]]:
$$\frac{\Gamma, A \vdash B}{\Gamma, !A \vdash B} \qquad \frac{\Gamma \vdash B}{\Gamma, !A\vdash B} \qquad \frac{\Gamma,!A,!A \vdash B}{\Gamma, !A\vdash B}$$
and "promotion":
$$ \frac{!\Gamma \vdash A}{!\Gamma\vdash !A} $$
If this is translated into a [[natural deduction]] style term calculus, the resulting rules are more complicated than those of most type formers. This can be avoided using [[adjoint type theory]] with two context zones, one "nonlinear" one where contraction and weakening are permitted (and [[admissible rule|admissible]]) and one "linear" one where they are not, with $!$ as a modality relating the two zones.
Such a "modal" presentation of linear logic was first introduced by [Girard 1993](#Girard93) and then developed by [Plotkin 1993](#Plotkin93), [Wadler 1993](#Wadler93), [Benton 1995](#Benton95), [Barber 1996](#Barber96).
This presentation also generalizes naturally to [[dependent linear type theory]], with the nonlinear type theory being dependent, and the linear types depending on the nonlinear ones but nothing depending on linear types. In this context, the $!$-modality decomposes into "context extension" and a "dependent sum".

## Idea
As described in ['t Hooft (1980)](#tHooft1980), a [[global symmetry]] of a [[quantum field theory]] is said to have a **'t Hooft anomaly** if it is non-anomalous as a global symmetry but has a [[quantum anomaly]] if one attempts to turn it into a [[gauge symmetry]].
Informally, a global symmetry described by the [[action]] of a [[group]] $G$ may be "coupled" to a [[gauge potential]] $A$ (a [[connection on a bundle]]). Denoting the [[partition function]] coupled to such a connection as $Z(A)$, the partition function of the gauged theory is, modulo normalization factors, $Z=\sum_A Z(A).$ If the symmetry has a 't Hooft anomaly, then perfoming a [[gauge transformation]] on all connections results in a nontrivial phase multiplying each partition function $Z_g=\sum_A \phi(A,g) Z(g\cdot A)$ where each phase $\phi(A,g)$ depends on the particular background field and gauge transformation, so that generally $Z\neq Z_g$. This is problematic since the partition function is supposed to be gauge invariant.
For $G$ a [[finite group]], and when the $n$-dimensional spacetime $\Sigma$ is the boundary of an $(n+1)$-dimensional space $X$, this situation may be remedied by "coupling" the $n$-dimensional theory with symmetry $G$ to a $(n+1)$-dimensional [[topological quantum field theory]] (a [[Dijkgraaf-Witten theory]] classified by $H^{n+1}(G,U(1))$) on $X$ such that the phase contributions of a gauge transformation of both cancel each other. This is known as *anomaly inflow* (see e.g. [Freed, Hopkins, Lurie, and Teleman (2009)](#FHLT09) and [Freed (2014)](#Freed14)).
Any [[generalized global symmetry]] is also thought to potentially exhibit 't Hooft anomalies described by a TQFT. In the literature, this is referred to as the *Anomaly TFT*, an [[invertible field theory]] (cf. [Freed 2014](#Freed14)), but little is known about what this TQFT is supposed to be for cases not equivalent to group-like cases (for which the TQFT is DW).

### Double line notation
What is called _βt Hooft double line notation_ (following [βt Hooft 74](#tHooft74)) is the observation that for the [[fundamental representations]] $V$ of [[semisimple Lie algebras]] $\mathfrak{g}$. the [[Lie algebra weight system|Lie algebra weight]] of a $\mathfrak{g}$-[[Yang-Mills theory]] [[Feynman diagram]] with internal/[[virtual particle|virtual]] [[gluon]] lines is equivalent to one without any [[virtual particle|virtual]] [[gluon]]-lines, obtained by:
{#JacobiIdentity} 1) using the [[Jacobi identity]] to replace all internal gluon vertices by ([[linear combinations]] of) quark-gluon vertices
<center>
<img src="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/files/QuarkGluonJacobiIdentity.jpg" width="580">
</center>
{#MetricContractionOfFundamentalLieAction} 2) replacing any remaining internal gluon line together with the [[quark]] [[interaction]] [[vertices]] at its ends (equivalently: an [[M2-brane 3-algebra]] [[tensor]])
by (a [[linear combination]] of) _double_ [[quark]]-lines, according to the following rules:
<center>
<img src="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/files/MetricActionContraction.jpg" width="600">
</center>
{#Example} For example, for $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{so}(N)$ a [[special orthogonal Lie algebra]], the βt Hooft double line notation of a single trivalent vertex inside a single Wilson loop is the following:
<center>
<img src="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/files/tHooftDoubleLineTrivalentVertex.jpg" width="640">
</center>
Here we are using the [[string diagram]]/[[Penrose notation]] from _[[metric Lie representations]]_.
> graphics from [[schreiber:Differential Cohomotopy implies intersecting brane observables|Sati-Schreiber 19c]]
{#Attribution} **Attribution.** In [βt Hooft 74](#tHooft74) this is observed for the [[unitary Lie algebra]] $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{u}(N)$ (see also [Bar-Natan 95 (34)](#BarNatan95), [Chmutov-Duzhin-Mostovoy 11, p. 177](#ChmutovDuzhinMostovoy11), in which case only the first summand of the expressions [above](#MetricContractionOfFundamentalLieAction) appears. The generalization to arbitrary [[semisimple Lie algebras]] is observed in [CvitanoviΔ 76, Fig. 14](#Cvitanovic76), reviewed for [[special unitary Lie algebra|su(N)]], [[special orthogonal Lie algebra|so(N)]] and [[symplectic Lie algebra|sp(N)]] in [CvitanoviΔ 08 (9.57), (10.13) and (12.9)](#Cvitanovic08) and for [[special orthogonal Lie algebra|so(N)]] in [Chmutov-Duzhin-Mostovoy 11, 6.2.6](#ChmutovDuzhinMostovoy11).
For the case $\mathfrak{so}(N)$ see also
[Bar-Natan 95, Section 6.3](#BarNatan95) (with an eye towards [[Vassiliev knot invariants]]) and
[Cicuta 82](#Cicuta82), [Ita-Nieder-Oz 02, Figure 3](#ItaNiederOz02), [McGreevy-Swingle 08, Figure 10](#McGreevySwingle08) (with more discussion of the [[large N limit]]). The case of [[general linear Lie algebra|gl(N)]] is considered in [Bar-Natan 96, Section 2.2](#BarNatan96), [Chmutov-Duzhin-Mostovoy 11, 6.2.5](#ChmutovDuzhinMostovoy11), and the case [[special linear Lie algebra|sl(N)]] in [Chmutov-Duzhin-Mostovoy 11, 6.1.8](#ChmutovDuzhinMostovoy11), [Jackson-Moffat 19, Section 14.4](#JacksonMoffat19).
### Surface notation
Furthermore, one may regard the resulting double-line diagrams as a [[ribbon graph]] thickening of the original [[Feynman diagrams]], and thus as [[surfaces]] [[manifold with boundary|with boundary]] and with markings on the [[boundary]].
In the case $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{so}(N)$ this means that a single [[virtual particle|virtual]] [[gluon]] line is represented by the [[formal linear combination]] of a strip (marked [[disk]]) and a twisted strip:
<center>
<img src="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/files/tHooftDoubleLineToSurfaces.jpg" width="600">
</center>
Using this on the reduction of internal gluon vertices by the [[Jacobi identity]] as [above](#JacobiIdentity) one finds that a single [[gluon]] vertex turns into the following linear combination of marked surfaces:
<center>
<img src="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/files/tHooftSurfacesForGluonVertex.jpg" width="700">
</center>
{#SurfaceExample} For example:

</center>
> graphics from [[schreiber:Differential Cohomotopy implies intersecting brane observables|Sati-Schreiber 19c]]
This gives [[open string]] [[worldsheets]]. Regarding them as such in the case of [[Chern-Simons theory]] exhibits [[Chern-Simons theory as an open topological string theory]] ([Witten 92, see Figures 1 & 2](#Witten92)) even for [[small N limit|small N]].
For [[AdS/CFT duality]] relating [[super Yang-Mills theory]] to _[[closed strings|closed]]_ [[string theory]] and open to _closed_ [[topological string theory]] ([Gopakumar-Vafa 98](#GopakumarVafa98)) there is an operation of gluing in [[faces]] to turn these [[open strings]] into [[closed string]] [[worldsheets]], see
[Gaiotto-Rastelli 03, Section 1.1](#GaiottoRastelli03)
and see [Marino 04, Section III, p. 14](#Marino04) for a clear statement).
Here [[open/closed string duality]] plays a subtle role in interpreting the [['t Hooft double line notation]] of [[gauge theory]] [[Feynman diagrams]] in the [[large N limit]] alternatively as [[open string]] or as [[closed string]] [[worldsheets]], see also [Gopakumar 04](#Gopakumar04).
### As a surface-valued weight system
After averaging over the $n!$ permutations of the ordering of the $n$ external vertices (those on the Wilson line) of a Jacobi diagram, this construction respects the [[STU relation]] on [[Jacobi diagrams]] and hence gives a [[weight system]] with values in marked surfaces ([Bar-Natan 95, Theorem 10 with Theorem 8](#BarNatan95)):

</center>
> graphics from [[schreiber:Differential Cohomotopy implies intersecting brane observables|Sati-Schreiber 19c]]
This means that [[stringy weight systems]] pull back to ordinary [[weight systems]] along this map, corresponding to taking their [[worldline formalism|point-particle limit]]. Under this map [[stringy weight systems span classical Lie algebra weight systems]].
\linebreak
Of course, the βt Hooft double line construction applies not just to [[Jacobi diagrams]] but also to [[Sullivan chord diagrams]]:

## Applications
### Large $N$ Limit and holography
One upshot of this double-line reformulation is that it makes the dependence of the [[Feynman amplitude]] on the [[natural number]] $N$ fully explicit, since a double line diagram simply contributes one factor of $N$ for each closed [[quark]] line (this being the [[trace]] over the [[fundamental representation]]).
In fact, by regarding the resulting double-line diagrams as a [[ribbon graph]] thickenings the original [[Feynman diagrams]], and regarding these [[ribbon graphs]] in turn as [[surfaces]], the $N$-dependence is proportional to the [[genus of a surface|genus]] of these surfaces.
One finds this way that in the _[[large N limit]]_, i.e. the [[limit of a sequence|limit]] where $N \to \infty$, precisely only the [[planar graphs]] contribute to the [[Yang-Mills theory]] [[Feynman amplitudes]], corresponding to [[surfaces]] of [[genus]] 0 (i.e. [[tree level]] [[string scattering amplitudes]] see at _[[planar limit]]_ for more on this), while $1/N$-corrections correspond to higher [[worldsheet]] [[topology]].
Last not least, these [[surfaces]] have the interpretation of [[open string]] [[worldsheets]] of a [[string theory]] which is "[[duality in string theory|dual]]" to the original ([[super Yang-Mills theory|super]]) in the sense made precise by [[AdS-CFT duality]].
### Classification of weight systems
Later the same double line technique was used (without any reference to the earlier physics articles(?)) in [Bar-Natan 95, Section 6](#BarNatan95) for discussion of the classification of [[Lie algebra weight systems]] and [[stringy weight systems]] with an eye towards discussion of [[Vassiliev knot invariants]].

> Nowadays we interpret $[$ the [['t Hooft double line notation]] $]$ quite literally as the perturbative expansion of an open string theory, either because the full open string theory is just equal to the gauge
theory (as e.g. for Chern-Simons theory [27]), or because we take an appropriate
low-energy limit (as e.g. for N = 4 SYM [31]).
> The general speculation [1] is that upon summing over the number of holes, (1.1) can be recast as the genus expansion for some closed string theory of coupling $g_s = g_{YM}^2$. This speculation is sometimes justified by appealing to the intuition that diagrams with
a larger and larger number of holes look more and more like smooth closed Riemann surfaces. This intuition is perfectly appropriate for the double-scaled matrix models, where the finite N theory is interpreted as a discretization of the closed Riemann surface; to recover the continuum limit, one must send $N\to \infty$ and tune $t$ to the
critical point $t_c$ where diagrams with a diverging number of holes dominate.
> However, in AdS/CFT, or in the Gopakumar-Vafa duality [2], $t$ is a free parameter, corresponding on the closed string theory side to a geometric modulus. The intuition described above clearly goes wrong here.
> A much more fitting way in which the open/closed duality may come about in these cases is for each fatgraph of genus g and
with h holes to be replaced by a closed Riemann surface of the same genus g and with h punctures: each hole is filled and replaced by a single closed string insertion.

## Idea
A type of [[monopole]] solution of [[Yang-Mills theory]] with [[Higgs field]] included.
## Properties
### In string theory
In [[string theory]], in the context of [[intersecting D-brane models]], the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole has been identified with the [[black brane|black]] "half" [[NS5-brane]] coincident on an [[O8-plane]] ([Hanany-Zaffaroni 99](#HananyZaffaroni99)). See there at _[Intersection of D6s with O8s](intersecting+D-brane+model#IntersectionOfD6WithO8)_.

## Idea
As a degenerate case of the general notion of *[[n-category]]*, _$(-1)$-categories_ may be understood as [[truth value]]. Compare the concept of [[0-category]] (a [[set]]) and [[(β2)-category]] (which is trivial). The point of $(-1)$-categories (a kind of [[negative thinking]]) is that they complete some patterns in the [[periodic table]] of $n$-categories. (They also shed light on the theory of [[homotopy group]]s and [[n-stuff]].)
For example, there should be a $0$-category of $(-1)$-categories; this is the set of truth values, classically
$$
(-1)Cat := \{true, false\}
\,.
$$
Similarly, $(-2)$-categories form a $(-1)$-category (specifically, the true one).
If we equip the category of $(-1)$-categories with the monoidal structure of [[logical conjunction|conjunction]] (the logical AND operation), then a [[enriched category|category enriched]] over this is a [[partial order|poset]]; an enriched groupoid is a [[set]]. Notice that this doesn\'t fit the proper patterns of the [[periodic table]]; we see that $(-1)$-categories work better as either $0$-[[0-poset|poset]]s or as $(-1)$-[[(-1)-groupoid|groupoid]]s. Nevertheless, there is no better alternative for the term '$(-1)$-category'.
For an introduction to $(-1)$-categories and $(-2)$-[[(-2)-category|categories]] see [page 11](http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/math/pdf/0608/0608420v2.pdf#page=11) and [page 34](http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/math/pdf/0608/0608420v2.pdf#page=34) of

## Definition
A __$(-1)$-groupoid__ or **[[homotopy n-type|(-1)-type]]** is a [[truth value]], or equivalently an [[n-truncated object of an (infinity,1)-category|(-1)-truncated object]] in [[βGrpd]]. By [[excluded middle]], this is either [[the]] empty groupoid (false) or the [[terminal category|terminal groupoid]] (true, the [[point]]).
## Remarks
Compare the concept of [[0-groupoid]] (a [[set]]) and [[(-2)-groupoid]] (which is trivial). The point of $(-1)$-groupoids is that they complete some patterns in the [[periodic table]] of $n$-categories. (They also shed light on the theory of [[homotopy group]]s and [[n-stuff]].)
For example, there should be a $0$-[[0-category|category]] of $(-1)$-groupoids; a $0$-category is also a set, and this set is the set of [[truth value|truth values]]: classically
$$
(-1)Grpd := \{\bot, \top\}
$$
Actually, since for other values of $n$, [[n-groupoid]]s form not just an $(n+1)$-category but an $(n+1,1)$-category, we should expect the $0$-category of $(-1)$-groupoids to be a $(0,1)$-category, or $1$-[[1-poset|poset]]. This simply means a [[partial order|poset]], and indeed truth values do always form a poset, classically ($\bot \leq \top$).
If we equip the category of $(-1)$-groupoids with the [[monoidal category|monoidal structure]] of [[logical conjunction|conjunction]] (the logical AND operation), then a [[enriched category|groupoid enriched]] over this is a [[symmetric proset]], and a category enriched over it is a [[preorder|proset]]. Up to [[equivalence of categories]], these are the same as a [[set]] (a $0$-[[0-groupoid|groupoid]]) and a [[partial order|poset]] (a (0,1)-[[1-poset|category]]); this fits the patterns of the periodic table.
See [[(-1)-category]] for more on this sort of [[negative thinking]].

Compare also with $(-2)$-[[(-2)-category|category]] and $(-2)$-[[(-2)-groupoid|groupoid]], which mean the same thing for their own reasons.
The point of $(-1)$-posets is that they complete some patterns in the [[periodic table]]s and complete the general concept of $n$-[[n-poset|poset]]. For example, there should be a $0$-[[0-poset|poset]] $(-1)\Pos$ of $(-1)$-posets; a $0$-poset is simply a truth value, and $(-1)\Pos$ is the [[true]] truth value.
As a category, $(-1)\Pos$ is a [[monoidal category]] in a unique way, and a [[enriched category|category enriched]] over this should be (at least up to equivalence) a $0$-poset, which is a truth value; and indeed, a category enriched over $(-1)\Pos$ is a category in which any two objects are isomorphic in a unique way, which is [[equivalence of categories|equivalent]] to a truth value.

## Idea
{#Idea}
Following the general concept of *[[(n,r)-category|$(n,r)$-category]]*, a *$(0,1)$-category* is a [[category]] whose [[hom-objects]] are [[(-1)-groupoids]], hence which for every [[pair]] of [[objects]] $a,b$ have either no morphism $a \to b$ or an [[essentially unique]] one.
More in detail, recall that:
* an [[(n,1)-category]] is an [[(β,1)-category]] such that every [[hom-space|hom β-groupoid]] is [[n-truncated|(n-1)-truncated]].
* a [[0-truncated]] [[β-groupoid]] is equivalently a set;
* a [[(-1)-truncated]] [[β-groupoid]] is either [[contractible]] or [[empty set|empty]].
Therefore:

###### Remark
**([[relation between preorders and (0,1)-categories]])**
\linebreak
An $(0,1)$-category is [[equivalence of categories|equivalently]] a [[proset]] ([[relation between preorders and (0,1)-categories|hence]] a [[poset]]).
We may without restriction assume that every hom-$\infty$-groupoid is just a set. Then since this is [[(-1)-truncated]] it is either empty or the singleton. So there is at most one morphism from any object to any other.

* A $(0,1)$-category with the structure of a [[topos]] is a [[(0,1)-topos]]: a [[Heyting algebra]].
* A $(0,1)$-category with the structure of a [[Grothendieck topos]] is a [[Grothendieck (0,1)-topos]]: a [[frame]] or [[locale]].
* A $(0,1)$-category which is also a [[groupoid]] (that is, every morphism is an isomorphism) is a $(0,0)$-category (which may think of as either a $0$-category or as a $0$-groupoid), which is the same as a [[set]] (up to equivalence) or a [[symmetric proset]] (up to isomorphism).

## Idea
In the context of [[higher category theory]] / [[(n,r)-categories]], a [[poset]] is equivalently regarded as a [[(0,1)-category]].
$(0,1)$-categories play a major role in [[logic]], where their objects are interpreted as [[propositions]], their morphisms as [[implications]] and [[limits]]/[[products]] and [[colimits]]/[[coproducts]] as [[logical conjunctions]] _[[and]]_ and _[[or]]_, respectively.
[[Stone duality|Dually]], $(0,1)$-categories play a major role in [[topology]], where they are interpreted as [[categories of open subsets]] of a [[topological spaces]], or, more generally, of [[locales]].
Clearly, much of [[category theory]] simplifies drastically when restricted to $(0,1)$-categories, but it is often most useful to make the parallel explicit.

## Idea
A **(0,1)-presheaf** is a [[presheaf]] with values in the [[(0,1)-category]]
of [[truth values]]. A 0-[[truncated]] [[(β,1)-presheaf]].
## Definition
A **(0,1)-presheaf** on a [[poset]] or [[proset]] $P$ is an [[antitone function|antitone]] [[predicate]]
$$F:P \rightarrow \Omega$$
from $P$ to the poset $\Omega$ of truth values, or equivalently, a [[monotone]] predicate
$$F:P^\op \rightarrow \Omega$$
from the [[opposite poset]] of $P$ to $\Omega$.
More generally, for a poset $S$, a **S-valued (0,1)-presheaf** on $P$ is just an antitone
$$f:P \rightarrow S$$
so (0,1)-presheaves are just antitones.
## (0,1)-category of (0,1)-presheaves
The [[(0,1)-category]] of a (0,1)-presheaf on a [[(0,1)-site]] forms a [[(0,1)-topos]]. In traditional order theoretic language, the poset (or proset) of (0,1)-presheaves on a [[posite]] forms a [[locale]].

## Idea
The notion of $(0,1)$-topos is that of [[topos]] in the context of [[(0,1)-category theory]].
The notion of $(0,1)$-topos is essentially equivalent to that of [[Heyting algebra]]; similarly, a [[Grothendieck topos|Grothendieck]] $(0,1)$-topos is a [[locale]].
Notice that every $(1,1)$-[[Grothendieck topos]] comes from a [[localic groupoid]], i.e. a [[groupoid]] [[internal category|internal to]] locales, hence a groupoid internal to $(0,1)$-toposes. See [[classifying topos of a localic groupoid]] for more.

By the general rules of $(n,r)$-[[(n,r)-category|categories]], a $(1,0)$-category is an $\infty$-[[infinity-category|category]] such that
* any $j$-morphism is an [[equivalence]], for $j \gt 0$;
* any two parallel $j$-morphisms are equivalent, for $j \gt 1$.
You can start from any notion of $\infty$-category, strict or weak; up to [[equivalence of categories|equivalence]], the result is always the same as a [[groupoid]].

## $(1,1)d$ EFTs
recall the **commercial for supergeometry** with which we ended [[Axiomatic field theories and their motivation from topology|last time]]: the grading introduced by supergeometry makes it possible to have push-forward diagrams of the kind:
$$
\array{
(0|1)TFTs^n(X)/\simeq &\leftarrow& H^n_{dR}(X)
\\
\downarrow && \downarrow
\\
(0|1)TFT^0(X)/\simeq &\leftarrow& H^0_{dR}(pt)
}
$$
**Example** of 1-EFT
$$
\sigma_1(M^n) = E : 1-EB \to tV
$$
$$
pt \mapsto \Gamma M
$$
$$
(pt \stackrel{[0,t]}{\to})
\mapsto
e^{- t \Delta}
$$
**Example** of $(1|1)-EFT$ associated to a [[Spin structure|spin manifold]], there is the [[spinor bundle]]
$$
S = S^+ \oplus S^-
$$
a $\mathbb{Z}/2$-graded [[vector bundle]] and on this there is the [[Dirac operator]]
$$
D : \Gamma(S) \to \Gamma(S)
$$
where $\Gamma(S) = \Gamma(S^+) \oplus \Gamma(S^-)$. So we can write
$$
D =
\left(
\array{
0 & D_-
\\
D+ & 0
}
\right)
$$
$$
\sigma_{1|1}(M) : Bord_{1|1} \to TV
$$
$$
\mathbb{R}^{0|1} \mapsto E(\mathbb{R}^{0|1}) = \Gamma(S)
$$
there is an involution $invol : \mathbb{R}^{0|1} \to \mathbb{R}^{0|1}$. It maps to
$$
invol \mapsto grading involution
$$
we have the following [[moduli space]] of super [[interval]]s (super 1d-bordisms)
$$
\mathbb{R}^{1|1}_+ \simeq
\{super intervals I_{t,\theta}\}/\sim
$$
and these are mapped by the EFT as
$$
I_{t,\theta} \mapsto e^{-t D^2 + \theta D}
$$
(here we are implicitly working in the [[topos]] of [[sheaf|sheaves]] on the category of [[supermanifold]]s and these equations have to be interpreted in that topos-logic, mapping [[generalized element]]s to [[generalized element]]s).
So we have for $E$ a $1|1$ EFT a _reduced_ non-susy field theory
$$
\array{
(1|1)EBord &\stackrel{E}{\to}& TV
\\
\uparrow & \nearrow_{E_{red}}
\\
EBord_1^{spin}
}
$$
**Definition** $E \in (1|1)EFT$, the [[partition function]] $Z_E$ of $E$ is the function
$$
Z_E : \mathbb{R}_+ \to \mathbb{C}
$$
$$
t \mapsto Z_{E_{red}}(t) = E_{red}(S^1_t)
$$
that sends a length to the value of the EFT on the circle of that circumferene.
**Example** Consider from above the EFT
$$
E = \sigma_{1|1}(M)
$$
look at its reduced part
$$
z_E(t) = E_{red}(S^1_t)
$$
notice that by the above this assigns
$$
[0,t] \stackrel{E_{red}}{\mapsto} e^{-t D^2}
$$
$$
S^1_t \mapsto str(e^{-t D^2})
=
tr(e^{-t D^2})|_{even} - tr(e^{-t D^2})|_{odd}
$$
where on the right we have the [[super trace]].
This evaluates to
$$
str(e^{-t D^2})
=
\sum_{\lambda \in Spec(D^2)}
e^{-t \lambda}
sdim E_{\lambda}
$$
where the [[super dimension]] of the [[eigenspace]] $E_\lambda$ is
$$
dim E^+_\lambda - dim E^-_\lambda
$$
and this vanishes for $\lambda \neq 0$ since there $D : E_\lambda^+ \stackrel{\simeq}{\to} E_\lambda^-$
is an [[isomorphism]].
So further in the computation we have
$$
\cdots = dim ker D_+ - dim coker D_+
=
\hat A(M)
$$
where the last step is the [[Atiyah-Singer index theorem]].
So **due to supersymmetry** , the [[partition function]] has two very special properties:
* it is constant -- in that it does not depend on $t$,
* it takes integer values $\in \mathbb{N} \subset \mathbb{R}$.
**recall** from $V \to X$ a [[vector bundle]] [[connection on a bundle|with connection]] $\nabla$ we get a 1d EFT
$$
E_{(V,\nabla)} \in 1d EFT(X)
$$
given by the assignment
$$
E_{(V,\nabla)} : 1s EB(X) \to TV
$$
$$
(x : pt \to X) \mapsto V_x = fiber of V over x
$$
a morphism is an [[interval]] $[0,t]$ of length $t$ equipped with a map $\gamma : [0,t] \to X$, this is sent to the [[parallel transport]] associated with the [[connection on a bundle]]
$$
\gamma \mapsto (V_{\gamma_x} \to V_{\gamma_y})
$$
Now refine this example to super-dimension $(1|1)$:
**example** of a $(1|1)$-EFT over $X$ consider
$$
EBord_{(1|1)} \to EBord_{1}(X) \stackrel{E_{(V,\nabla)}}{\to}
TV
$$
given by the assignment
$$
(\Sigma^{(1|1)} \to X)(
\mapsto
(\Sigma^{(1|1)}_{red} \to X)
\mapsto
parallel transport as before
$$
so we just forget the super-part and consider the same [[parallel transport]] as before.
now to [[K-theory]]:
$
KO^0(X) =
$ [[Grothendieck group]] of real [[vector bundle]]s over $X$
$$
KO^{-n}(pt) =
\left\{
\array{
\mathbb{Z} & n = 0 mod 4
\\
\mathbb{Z}_2 & n = 1,2 mod 8
\\
0 & otherwise
}
\right.
$$
there is a [[Bott element]] $\beta \in KO^{-8}(pt)$
such that
$$
KO^*(pt) \stackrel{\simeq_{\mathbb{Q}}}{\to}
\mathbb{Z}[u,u^{-1}]
$$
$$
\beta \mapsto u^2
$$
now the **push-forward in [[topological K-theory]]**
$$
p : X^n \to pt
$$
for $X$ a closed [[spin structure]] manifold
then there exists an embedding $X \hookrightarrow S^{n+m}$. Let $\nu$ be the [[normal bundle]] to this embedding.
then we define
$$
\int_X : KO^k(X) \to KO^{k-n}(pt)
$$
as follows:
let $D(\nu)$ be the [[disk bundle]] and $S(\nu)$ be the [[sphere bundle]] of $\nu$. Then the [[Thom bundle]] is
$$
T(\nu) := D(\nu)/S(\nu)
$$
we get a map
$$
S^{n+m} \stackrel{C}{\to} T(\nu) := D(\nu)/S(\nu)
$$
involving the [[Thom isomorphism]]
$$
C(X) = \left\{
\array{
X & if x \in D(\nu)
\\
* & otherwise
}
\right.
$$
then we set
$$
\array{
KO^k(X)
&& \stackrel{\int_X}{\to}&& KO^{k-n}(pt)
\\
& {}_{Thom iso}\searrow
&&&
\downarrow^{\simeq}_{suspension}
\\
&& \tilde KO^{k+m}(T(\nu))
&\stackrel{C^*}{\to}&
}
$$
***
now start with $X^n$ again a [[spin structure|spin]] [[manifold]]
then
**theorem** (Stolz-Teichner): we have the horizontal isomorphism in the following diagram:
$$
\array{
&& [E_{(V,\nabla)}]&& \stackrel{}{\leftarrow}
&& [V^+ - V^-]
\\
1 \in
&&(1|1)EFT^0(X)/_{conc}

}
$$
**question** if we don't divide out [[concordance]], do we get [[differential K-theory]] on the right?
**answer** presumeably, but not worked out yet

## Idea
The notion of *(1,2)-topos* should be the notion of [[higher toposes]] among [[(1,2)-categories]] or [[2-posets]].
## Examples
\begin{example}\label{The12ToposOfPosets}
The [[(1,2)-category]] [[Pos]] of [[posets]] and monotone maps should be the archetypal $(1,2)$-topos.
The poset of [[truth values]]
$$
\big( \bot \to \top \big)
\;\in\;
Pos
$$
should play the role of the "sub-poset classifier" in $Pos$, the (1,2)-analog of the [[subobject classifier]] in a [[1-topos]].
Here, morphisms into it
classify [[monic]] [[fibrations]] of posets, namely [[sieves]] (e.g. [Exp. 9.26 here](https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/80-413-713/notes/chap09.pdf#page=31))

## Idea
The [[(β,1)-algebraic theory]] whose [[β-algebra over an (β,1)-algebraic theory|algebras]] are [[E-β algebra]]s is the [[(2,1)-category]] of [[span]]s of [[finite set]]s.
## Definition
+-- {: .num_defn}
###### Definition
Let
$$
2Comm := Span(FinSet)
$$
be the [[(2,1)-category]] of [[span]]s of [[finite set]]s:
* [[object]]s are finite sets;
* [[morphism]]s are [[span]]s $X_1 \leftarrow Y \to X_1$ in [[FinSet]];
* [[2-morphism]]s are diagrams
$$
\array{
&& Y
\\
& \swarrow && \searrow
\\
X_0 &&\downarrow^{\mathrlap{\simeq}}&& X_1
\\
& \nwarrow && \nearrow
\\
&& Y'
}
$$
in [[FinSet]] with the vertical morphism an [[isomorphism]].
=--
+-- {: .num_prop}
###### Observation
The [[homotopy category of an (infinity,1)-category|homotopy category]] of $2Comm$ is the category $Comm$ that is the [[Lawvere theory]] of commutative [[monoid]]s.
=--
+-- {: .proof}
###### Proof
The Lawvere theory of commutative monoids has as objects the free commutative monoids $F[k]$ on $k \in \mathbb{N}$ generators, and as morphisms monoid homomorphisms.
By the [[free functor|free property]], morphisms
$$
f : F[k] \to F[l]
$$
are in natural bijection to $k$-tuples of elements of $F[l]$. Such elements in turn are sums $a_1 + a_1 + \cdots + a_1 + a_2 + a_2 + \cdots + a_2 + a_3 + \cdots$ of copies of the $l$ generators, hence are in bijection to sequences of natural numbers $(n_{1}, \cdots, n_l)$. Hence morphisms $f : F[k] \to F[l]$ are in bijection to $k \times l$-[[matrices]] with entries in the [[natural number]]s.
One checks that under this identification composition of morphisms corresponds to matrix multiplication.
=--
+-- {: .num_remark}
###### Remark
For instance the spans
$$
\{1,2\} \stackrel{id}{\leftarrow} \{1,2\} \to \{1\}
$$
and
$$
\{1,2\} \stackrel{\simeq}{\leftarrow} \{2,1\} \to \{1\}
$$
describe the operation
$$
(a,b) \mapsto a + b
$$
and the operation
$$
(a,b) \mapsto b + a
\,,
$$
respectively. Clearly, in $Comm$ both these operations are identified. In $2Comm$ however they the are only equivalent
$$
\array{
&& \{1,2\}
\\
& {}^{\mathllap{id}}\swarrow && \searrow
\\
\{1,2\} &&\downarrow^{\mathrlap{\simeq}}&& \{1\}
\\
& {}_{\mathllap{\simeq}}\nwarrow && \nearrow
\\
&& \{2,1\}
}
\,.
$$
=--
## Properties
+-- {: .num_lemma}
###### Observation
Let $Comm$ be the ordinary [[Lawvere theory]] of commutative monoids. There is a forgetful 2-functor
$$
2Comm \to Comm
\,.
$$
This exhibits $2Comm$ as being like $Comm$ but with some additional auto-2-morphisms of the morphism of $Comm$.
=--
This is discussed in ([Cranch, beginning of section 5.2](#Cranch)).
+-- {: .num_prop}
###### Proposition
The $(\infty,1)$-category $2Comm$ has finite [[product]]s. The products of objects $A, B$ in $2Comm$ is their [[coproduct]] $A \coprod B$ in [[FinSet]].
=--
This appears as ([Cranch, prop. 4.7](#Cranch)).
+-- {: .num_prop}
###### Proposition
An [[(β,1)-category]] with [[(β,1)-limit|(β,1)-product]] is naturally an algebra over the $(2,1)$-theory $2Comm$.
=--
This appears as ([Cranch, theorem 4.26](#Cranch)).
+-- {: .num_theorem}
###### Theorem
An algebra over the $(2,1)$-theory $2Comm$ in [[(β,1)Cat]] is
a [[symmetric monoidal (β,1)-category]].
=--
This appears as ([Cranch, theorem 5.3](#Cranch)).
+-- {: .num_theorem}
###### Theorem
There is a $(2,1)$-algebraic theory $E_\infty$ whose algebras
are at least in parts like [[E-β algebra]]s.
=--
This is ([Cranch](#Cranch)), prop. 6.12, theorem 6.13 and section 8.
## Examples {#Examples}
### Free algebras
The free algebra over $2Comm$ in [[βGrpd]] on a single generator is $2Comm(*, -) : 2Comm \to \infty Grpd$. Its underlying [[β-groupoid]] is therefore
$$
2Comm(*,*) = Core(FinSet)
\,,
$$
the [[core]] groupoid of the category [[FinSet]]. This is equivalent to
$$
\cdots \simeq \coprod_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \mathbf{B} \Sigma_n
\,,
$$
where $\Sigma_n$ is the [[symmetric group]] on $n$ elements and $\mathbf{B}\Sigma_n$ its one-object [[delooping]] groupoid.
Notice that this is indeed the free [[E-β-algebra]], on the nose so if we use the [[Barratt-Eccles operad]] $P$ as our model for the [[E-β-operad]]: that has $P_n = \mathbf{E} \Sigma_n$. The free [[algebra over an operad]] is given by $\coprod_{n \in \mathbb{N}} P_n/\Sigma_n$, which here is $\cdots = \coprod_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \mathbf{E}\Sigma_n/\Sigma_n = \coprod_n \mathbf{B} \Sigma_n$.

## Idea
By the general rules of $(n,r)$-[[(n,r)-category|categories]], a __$(2,1)$-category__ is an $\infty$-[[infinity-category|category]] such that
* any $j$-morphism is an [[equivalence]], for $j \gt 1$;
* any two parallel $j$-morphisms are equivalent, for $j \gt 2$.
You can start from any notion of $\infty$-category, strict or weak; up to [[equivalence of categories|equivalence]], the result can always be understood as a [[locally groupoidal 2-category|locally groupoidal]] $2$-[[2-category|category]].
## Models
So, a (2,1)-category is in particular modeled by
* a [[2-category]] in which all [[2-morphisms]] are invertible;
* an [[(β,1)-category]] that is 2-[[truncated]].
## Properties
The [[oidification]] of a [[monoidal groupoid]] is a (2,1)-category.

Previous:
* [[Axiomatic field theories and their motivation from topology]].
* [[(1,1)-dimensional Euclidean field theories and K-theory]]
recall the big diagram from the end of the [[(1,1)-dimensional Euclidean field theories and K-theory|previous entry]].
The **goal** now is to replace everywhere [[topological K-theory]] by [[tmf]].
previously we had assumed that $X$ has [[spin structure]]. Now we assume [[String structure]].
So we are looking for a diagram of the form
$$
\array{
1
&&
(2|1)EFT^0(X)/\sim
&& \stackrel{\simeq conjectural}{\leftarrow}&&
tmf^0(X)

&\searrow & \searrow &&& \swarrow& \swarrow
\\
&&&& mf^{-n}
\\

}
$$
the vertical maps here are due to various theorems by various people -- except for the "physical quantization" on the left, that is used in physics but hasn't been formalized
the **horizontal maps are the conjecture we are after** in the Stolz-Teichner program: The top horizontal map will involve making the notion of $(2|1)$EFT _local_ by refining it to an _extended_ [[FQFT]]s. This will not be considered here.
we will explain the following items
* the [[ring]] $mf^\bullet$ of [[integral modular form]]s
$$
mf^\bullet \simeq \mathbb{Z}[c_4, c_6, \Delta, \Delta^{-1}]/(c_4^{3}- c_6^{2} - 1728 \Delta)
$$
one calls $w = -\frac{n}{2}$ the _weight_ . We have degree of $\Delta$ is $deg(\Delta) = -24$, hence $w(\Delta) = 12$.
* $W(X)$ is the [[Witten genus]]
$$
W(X) = \sum_{k \in \mathbb{Z}} a_k \cdot q^k
\,,
a_k \in \mathbb{Z}
$$
where $a_k = index(D_X \otimes E_k)$ where $E_k$ is some explicit vector bundle over $X$.
## modular forms ##
**definition** An **(integral) [[modular form]]** of weight $w$ is a [[holomorphic function]] on the [[upper half plane]]
$$
f : (\mathbb{R}^2)_+ \hookrightarrow \mathbb{C}
$$
(complex numbers with strictly positive imaginary part)
such that
1. if $A = \left( \array{a & b \\ c& d}\right) \in SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ acting by $A : \tau \mapsto = \frac{a \tau + b }{c \tau + d}$ we have
$$
f(A(\tau)) = (c \tau + d)^w f(\tau)
$$
**note** take $A = \left( \array{1 & 1 \\ 0& 1}\right)$ then we get that $f(\tau + 1) = f(\tau)$
1. $f$ has at worst a pole at $\{0\}$ (for _weak_ modular forms this condition is relaxed)
it follows that $f = f(q)$ with $q = e^{2 \pi i \tau}$ is a meromorphic funtion on the open disk.
1. **integrality** $\tilde f(q) = \sum_{k = -N}^\infty a_k \cdot q^k$ then $a_k \in \mathbb{Z}$
by this definition, modular forms are not really functions on the upper half plane, but functions on a [[moduli space]] of [[torus|tori]]. See the following definition:
if the weight vanishes, we say that modular form is a **[[modular function]]** .
**definition (2|1)-dim [[partition function]]**
Let $E$ be an EFT
$$
(2|1)EFT^0 \stackrel{S}{\to}
2 EFT \ne E
$$
$$
E \mapsto E_{red}
$$
then the [[partition function]] is the map $Z_E : \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{R}$
$$
Z_E : \tau \mapsto E_{red}(T_\tau)
$$
where
$$
T_\tau := \mathbb{C}/{\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} \cdot \tau}
$$
is thee standard torus of modulus $\tau$.
then the central **theorem** that we are after here is
**therorem (Stolz-Teichner)** (after a suggestion by [[Edward Witten]])
There is a precise definition of $(2|1)$-EFTs $E$ such that the [[partition function]] $Z_E$ is an integral [[modular function]]
(so this is really four theorems: the function is holomorphic, integral, etc.)
moreover, every [[integral modular function]] arises in this way.

A concrete relation between [[2d SCFT]] and [[tmf]] is the lift of the [[Witten genus]] to the [[string orientation of tmf]]. See there fore more.

## Idea
The concept of _$(2,1)$-functors_ is that of the natural kind of [[morphisms]] between [[(2,1)-categories]].
If [[(2,1)-categories]] are regarded as special cases of [[2-categories]], then $(2,1)$-functors are equivalently the [[2-functors]] between [[(2,1)-categories]].
If [[(2,1)-categories]] are regarded as special cases of [[(β,1)-categories]], then $(2,1)$-functors are equivalently the [[(β,1)-functors]] between [[(2,1)-categories]].
## Examples
* The construction of [[groupoid convolution algebras]] constitutes a $(2,1)$-functor from [[differentiable stacks]] with proper maps between them and the [[opposite 2-category|opposite]] $(2,1)$-category of [[C*-algebras]] with [[Hilbert bimodules]] between them.

The higher analogue of [[sheafification]].
A [[stack]]/[[2-sheaf]] [[2-topos]] on a [[site]]/[[2-site]] $C$ is

#Idea#
Previously we had defined smooth categories of [[Riemannian cobordism]]s. Now we pass from [[Riemannian manifold]]s to [[Euclidean supermanifold]]s and define the corresponding smooth [[cobordism category]]. Then we define $(d|\delta)$-dimensional Euclidean field theories to be smooth representations of these categories.
As described at [[(2,1)-dimensional Euclidean field theories and tmf]], the idea is that $(2|1)$-dimensional Euclidean field theories are a geometric model for [[tmf]] [[cohomology theory]]. While there is no complete proof of this so far, in the next and final session
* [[modular forms from partition functions]]
it will be shows that the claim is true at least for the [[cohomology ring]] over the point: the [[partition function]] of a $(2|1)$-dimensional EFT is a modular form. Hence $(2|1)$-dimensional EFTs do yield the correct [[cohomology ring]] of [[tmf]] over the point.
#Details#
Let [[SDiff]] be the [[category]] of [[supermanifold]]s.
We will define a [[stack]]/[[fibered category]] on $SDiff$ called $E Bord_{2|1}$ whose morphisms are smooth families of (2|1)-dimensional [[super-cobordism]]s, and a [[stack]]/[[fibered category]] $sTV^{fam}$ of topological super vector bundles.
So recall
* [[supergeometry - contents|supergeometry]].
**question**: What is the right notion of Riemannian or Euclidean structure on [[super-cobordism]]s?
**strategy**: From the [[path integral]] perspective we need some structure on $\Sigma$ such that the "space" of maps $Maps(\Sigma,X)$ naturally carries some measure that allows to perform a [[path integral]].
This perspective suggests certain generalizations of the notion of [[Riemannian manifold]] to [[supermanifold]]s which may be a little different than what one might have thought of naively.
We want to define [[Euclidean supermanifold]]s as a generalization of [[Riemannian manifold]] with _flat_ Riemannian metric.
notice that there is a canonical bijection between
* flat [[Riemannian metric]]s on a $d$-dimensional [[manifold]] $X$
* a maximal [[atlas]] on $X$ consisting of charts such that all transition functions belong the the **Euclidean group** or **Galileo group**
$$
Eucl(\mathbb{R}^d)
:=
\mathbb{R}^d \rtimes O(\mathbb{R}^d)
$$
(rigid translations and rotations)
In analogy to that we define:
Similarly a **Euclidean structure** on a $(d|\delta)$-dimensional [[supermanifold]] is defined using the Euclidean [[super Lie group]] given by the [[semidirect product]]
$$
Eucl(\mathbb{R}^{d|\delta})
:=
\mathbb{R}^{d|\delta}
\rtimes
Spin(\mathbb{R}^d)
$$
where the [[Spin]] group acts on the translations in $\mathbb{R}^{d|\delta}$ in a way to be specified.
first recall the notion of
* [[complex supermanifold]]
**goal** replace the standard Euclidean group $(\mathbb{R}^d, Eucl(\mathbb{R}^d))$ by the [[super Euclidean group]]
$(X,G)$ where $X$ is a suitable [[supermanifold]]
and $G$ a suitable [[super Lie group]].
This leads to the notion of
* [[Euclidean supermanifold]].
The morphisms of the category $E Bord_{(2|1)}$ will be [[cobordism]]s that are [[Euclidean supermanifold]]s.
**goal** define the [[fibered category]]
$$
\array{
E Bord_{d|\delta}^{sfam}
\\
\downarrow
\\
cSDiff
}
$$
where $cSDiff$ is the category of [[complex supermanifold]]s.
The objects of this fibered category are
$$
\array{
Y^{\pm} &\to& Y &\leftarrow& Y^c
\\
& \searrow & \downarrow & \swarrow
\\
&& S
}
$$
where $Y \to S$ is a family of [[Euclidean supermanifold]]s of dimension $(d|\delta)$.
For the non-super, non-family version of **Euclidean bordism** we require that the core $Y^c$ is totally geodesic in $Y$.
now for the superversion we require that there exist charts (in the open atlas) of $Y \to S$ covering all of $Y^c$ such that
$$
\array{
&& S
\\
& \nearrow && \nwarrow
\\
Y \supset_{open} U &&\stackrel{\phi}{\to}&&
V \subset S \times \mathbb{R}^{d|\delta}_{cs}
\\
\downarrow^{\supset} &&&& \downarrow^{\supset}
\\
Y^c \supset U \cap Y^c
&&\stackrel{\simeq}{\to}&&
V \cap S \times \mathbb{R}^{d-1|\delta}
\subset S \times \mathbb{R}^{d-1|\delta}_{cs}
}
$$
next, a **Euclidean superbordism** from $Y_0 \to S$ to $Y_1 \to S$ is a diagram
$$
\array{
Y_1
&\stackrel{i_1}{\to}&
\Sigma
&\stackrel{i_0}{\leftarrow}& Y_1
\\
& \searrow & \downarrow & \swarrow
\\
&& S
}
$$
where $i_0, i_1$ are morphisms (of families of $(X,G)$-spaces) satisfying the (+)-condition and the (c)-condition described at [[bordism categories following Stolz-Teichner]].
Now a morphism in $E Bord^{sfam}_{d|\delta}$ from $Y_0 \to S_0$ to $Y_1 \to S_1$ is a bordism fitting into a diagram
$$
\array{
\Sigma &\stackrel{i_1}{\leftarrow}&
f^* Y_1 &\to& Y_1
\\
\uparrow^{i_0} &\searrow& \downarrow && \downarrow
\\
Y_1 &\to & S_0 &\stackrel{f}{\to}& S1
}
$$
and we identify bordisms $\Sigma, \Sigma'$ if they are isometric -- namely isomorphic in the category of [[Euclidean supermanifold]]s -- "rel boundary".
**definition** A **$(d|\delta)$-dimensional Euclidean field theory** is a [[symmetric monoidal functor]]
$$
E \in Fun_{csDiff}^\otimes(E Bord_{(d|\delta)}^{sfam},
TV^{sfam})
$$
of [[symmetric monoidal category|symmetric monoidal]] [[fibered category|fibered cateories]] (i. [[symmetric monoidal functor]] as well as [[cartesian functor]] ) over the category $cSDiff$ of [[complex supermanifold]]s.
**Definition** (roughly) $TV^{sfam}$ is the category of families of topological vector spaces parameterized by [[complex supermanifold]]s.
Recall that the ordinary category $TV$ is the category of complete [[Hausdorff space|Hausdorff]], locally convex [[topological vector space]].
define the [[projective tensor product]] of two such $V, W \in TV$. This is a certain completion of the algebraic tensor product $V \otimes_{alg} W$ with respect to the projective topology on $V \otimes_{alg} W$.
This will be the coarsest [[topology]] (the one with the least open sets) making the following maps $f'$
$$
\array{
V \otimes_{alg} W &\to& Z
\\
& \nearrow_{f'}
\\
V \times W
}
$$
continuous.
**Remark**
$$
\array{
C^\infty(M \times N)
&\leftarrow&
C^\infty(M) \otimes_{alg} C^\infty(N)
\\
& {}_{\simeq}\nwarrow & \downarrow^{\subset}
\\
&& C^\infty(M) \otimes C^\infty(N)
}
$$
**Definition** the objects of $TV^{sfam}$ are pairs $(S,V)$ for $S$ a [[supermanifold]] and $V$ is a [[sheaf]] of locally complex $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded [[topological vector space]] with the structure of a sheaf of modules of the [[structure sheaf]] $O_S$.
**goal** define the [[partition function]] of of a $(2|1)$-dimensional Euclidean field theory.
**definition** Let $E$ be an EFT as above.
We may think of $\mathbb{R}_+ \times h$ (positive axis times upper half plane) as moduli space of Euclidean tori, where for $(\ell, \tau) \in \mathbb{R}_+ \times h$ we get a torus (regarded as a [[cobordism]]) denoted $T_{\ell,\tau}$. This is the torus given by the lattice spanned by $(1,0)$ and $\ell Re(\tau) + Im(\tau)$ in the upper half plane. Then for the ordinary EFT we would define
$$
Z_E : \mathbb{R}_+ \times h \to \mathbb {C}
$$
$$
(\ell,\tau) \mapsto E(T_{\ell,\tau})
$$
For the superversion we put
$$
Z_{E} := Z_{E_{red}}
$$
where
$$
\array{
&& E Bord_{2|1}^{sfam}
\\
& {}^{\rho}\nearrow
&&
\searrow^{E}
\\
E Bord_{2, Spin}^{fam}
&\stackrel{E_{red}}{\to}&
TV^{fam}
&
\hookrightarrow
&
TV^{sfam}
}
$$
# Examples #
## explicit description of $E Bord_{1}^{fam}$ ##
See [[bordism categories following Stolz-Teichner]].
The category $E Bord_1^{fam}$ is generated from
* the _family of right elbows__
$$
\array{
1-E Bord_{\mathbb{R}_+}^{fam}(\emptyset, pt \coprod pt)
& \ni& R & := \mathbb{R}_+ \times \mathbb{R}
\\
&& \downarrow
\\
&& S := \mathbb{R}_+
}
$$
* the point-family of the left elbox
$$
\array{
L_0
\\
\downarrow
\\
S := pt
}
$$
* the family of intervals in $E Bord^{fam}_{\mathbb{R}^+}(pt,pt)$
$$
\array{
I
\\
\downarrow
\\
\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}
}
$$
Because:
$
E \in Fun^{\otimes}_{Diff}(E Bord^{fam}, TV^{fam})
$
is determined by
$$
E(pt) =: V \in TV
$$
$$
E(L_0) =: \lambda : V \otimes V \to \mathbb{R}
$$
$$
E(R) =: \rho \in TV_{\mathbb{R}^+}(\mathbb{R}, V \otimes V) \simeq C^\infty(\mathbb{R}_+, V \otimes V)
$$
$$
E(I) =: e^{-t H} \in C^\infty(\mathbb{R}_{\geq}, End(V))
$$
forms a _smooth_ semigroup under composition generated by
$$
H \in End(V)
$$
(the [[Hamiltonian operator]])
$$
\array{
V \otimes V &&\stackrel{\lambda}{\hookrightarrow}&&
End(V)
\\
& {}_{\rho}\nwarrow && \nearrow_{e^{- t H}}
\\
&& \mathbb{R}_+
}
$$
so due to smoothness the data collapses to the infinitesimal data
$$
(V, \lambda, H)
$$
**example -- ordinary quantum mechanics** Let $M$ be a [[Riemannian manifold]]. Then set
* $H:= \Delta$ the corresponding [[Laplace operator]];
* $V := C^\infty(M) \subset L^2(M)$;
* $\lambda$ is the restriction of the $L^2(M)$ inner product to $V$
where $e^{-t H}$ is "trace class" in the non-standard sense described above in that it makes the above diagram commute.
So everything as known from standard [[quantum mechanics]] textbooks, except that we don't use the full [[Hilbert space]] of states, but just the [[Frechet space]] of smooth functions.
## explicit description of $E Bord_{2}$ ##
The category $E Bord_{2}_{oriented}^{fam}$ has the following generators:
objects are generated from
* the **circle** $K_\ell := \mathbb{R}^2/\mathbb{Z}\cdot \ell$ of length $\ell \gt 0$ (with collars!! that's why it looks like a cylinder of circumference $\ell$)
notice that we may think of $\ell $ as parameteriing translation by $\ell$ in $\mathbb{R}^2 \rtimes SO(2) = Eucl_{or}(\mathbb{R}^2)$
and the circle with $(+)$/$(-)$-collars reversed
morphisms are generated from
* **cylinders** $C_{\ell,\tau}$ which as a manifold is $\simeq \mathbb{R}^2/\mathbb{Z}\cdot \ell$ where $\tau$ parameterizes the embedding of the outgoing circle: the incoming circle is embedded in the canonical way (the identity map on the cylinder, really), while the outgoing circle is embedded by translating the cylinder by $\ell \cdot Re(\tau)$ upwards and rotated by $\ell \cdots Im(\tau)$.
* **right elbows** which are the same as the cylinder, except that now the second circle is embedded after reflection so that it becomes an ingoing circle.
* the **thin left elbow** $L_\ell$, similar to the above, with arbitrary $\ell$ but $\tau = 0$
* the **torus** $T_\tau$ obtained from the cylinder by gluing incoming and outgoing
**notice** the **pair of pants** is not a morphism in the category at all! since, recall, we require all bordisms to be _flat_ and all boundaries to be _geodesics_ . There is no way to put such a flat metric on the trinion.
satisfying the relations
$$
L_\ell \circ R_{\ell, \tau}
=
T_{\ell, \tau}
$$
as for the non-family version, but now also with the new relations
$$
T_{\ell', \tau'} = T_{\ell, \tau}
$$
whenever $\ell' = \ell \cdot|c \tau + d|$ and $\tau' = \frac{a \tau + b }{c \tau + d}$
for $\left(\array{a & b \\ c & d }\right) \in SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$.
Notice that $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ is generated by
* translation $(\ell, \tau) \mapsto (\ell, \tau + 1)$
* S-matrix $(\ell, \tau) \mapsto (\ell \cdot |\tau|, - \frac{1}{\tau})$
and now there is **one more relation**
$$
T_{\ell, \tau}
=
T_{\ell |\tau|, - \frac{1}{\tau}}
$$
as usual write $q := e^{2 \pi i \tau}$ which is on the pointed unit disk since $\tau$ is half plane since $\tau$
## explicit description of $E Bord_{2}^{fam}$ ##
thwe category $E Bord_{2, oriented}^{fam}$ is generated from
objects:
* $\array{K \\ \downarrow \\ S = \mathbb{R}_+}$
* morphisms
$$
\array{
L \\ \downarrow \\ \mathbb{R}_+
}
$$
$$
\array{
R \\ \downarrow \\ \mathbb{R}_+ \times h/\mathbb{Z}
}
$$
$$
\array{
C \\ \downarrow \\ \mathbb{R}_+ \times (h \cup \mathbb{R})/\mathbb{Z}
}
$$
subject to the relations
... as before (homework 3, problem 4).. and the furhter one:
for
$$
\array{
T && \alpha^* T
\\
\downarrow && \downarrow
\\
\mathbb{R}_+ \times h
&\stackrel{\alpha}{\leftarrow}&
\mathbb{R}_+ \times h
\\
\\
(\ell\cdot |\tau|, -\frac{1}{\tau})
&\stackrel{}{\lt\leftarrow}&
(\ell, \tau)
}
$$
the relation is
$$
\alpha^* T = T
\,.
$$

## Definition
There is an [[orthogonal factorization system]] on the category [[StrCat]], whose left class is the class of [[bo functor|bijective-on-objects functors]], or "bo functors" and whose right class is the class of [[full and faithful functor|full and faithful functors]], or "ff functors".
This means that each functor $f$ decomposes as a composition of the form $j e$, where $e$ is bijective on objects and $j$ fully faithful; and if
$$\array{
A &\overset{u}{\longrightarrow}& C
\\
\mathllap{{}^{e}}\big\downarrow &&\big\downarrow \mathrlap{{}^{j}}
\\
B &\underset{v}\longrightarrow& D
}$$
is a commutative diagram with $e$ bijective on objects and $j$ fully faithful, then there is a unique functor $h \colon B\to C$ such that $h e = u$ and $j h = v$. The object through which $f$ factors is called the [[full image]] of $f$.
In fact, this can be generalized to a square commuting up to invertible [[natural transformation]], in which case one still concludes that $h e = u$ but that $j h \cong v$, with the isomorphism composing with $e$ to give the original isomorphism. This means that this is an [[enhanced factorization system]].
## Properties
This factorization system can be constructed using [[generalized kernels]].
For [[essentially surjective functors]], one can relax both the commuting and the uniqueness to obtain a [[factorization system in a 2-category]].

# The axiom of multiple choice
* table of contents
{: toc}
This article is about a [[classical mathematics|classical]] [[set theory]] [[axiom]]. Some literature instead uses this name for an unrelated weakening of [[axiom of choice|AC]]. For that notion, see _[[axiom of multiple choice]]_.
## Idea
The **axiom of multiple choice** (AMC) weakens the [[axiom of choice]] by allowing [[choice functions]] to choose [[finite sets]], rather than particular [[elements]].
##Statement
Recall that one common statement of the [[axiom of choice]] is:
:For every [[set]] $S$ of [[inhabited set|non-empty sets]], there is a [[function]] $f$ defined on $S$ such that $\forall X\in S$, $f(X)\in X$.
Such an $f$ is called a __choice function__ for $S$.
The axiom of multiple choice weakens the axiom of choice by allowing choice functions to pick out finite [[subsets]], rather than finite sets. It says:
:For every set $S$ of non-empty sets, there is a function $f$ defined on $S$ such that $\forall X\in S$, $f(X)\subseteq X$ and $f(X)$ is finite and non-empty.
## Relationships to other axioms
The axiom of multiple choice is [[logical equivalence|equivalent]] to the axiom of choice modulo [[ZF]] set theory. However, it is strictly weaker in [[ZFA]] and other similar set theories. AMC holds in any [[permutation model]] with finite supports where each atom has a finite orbit. For a detailed proof, see [Jech's "The Axiom of Choice"](https://www.gwern.net/docs/math/1973-jech-theaxiomofchoice.pdf), chapter 9.
The [[axiom of multiple choice|constructive axiom by the same name]] is not historically related, and the two axioms are independent. Any permutation model will satisfy [[SVC]], which [Rathjen](#Rathjen) proves implies the constructive axiom, but this AMC can fail in a permutation model.

## Idea
In [[topology|point set topology]], every subspace $X$ of a space $A$ has a unique largest subspace in which $X$ is [[dense subspace|dense]], namely simply the closure $\overline{X}$. Using maps, this amounts to say that $X\hookrightarrow A$ factors as $X\hookrightarrow\overline{X}$ followed by $\overline{X}\hookrightarrow A$.
The **(dense,closed)-factorization** generalizes this idea from topology to [[topos theory]]. It can be viewed as a way to associate to every [[subtopos]] $Sh_j(\mathcal{E})\hookrightarrow\mathcal{E}$ a closure $\overline{Sh_{j}(\mathcal{E})}$.
## Statement
A [[geometric embedding]] of [[elementary toposes]]
$$
Sh_j(\mathcal{E}) \hookrightarrow \mathcal{E}
$$
factors as
$$
Sh_j(\mathcal{E})
\hookrightarrow
Sh_{c(ext(j))}(\mathcal{E})
\hookrightarrow
\mathcal{E}
$$
where $ext(j)$ (the "exterior" of $j$) denotes the $j$-closure of $\emptyset \rightarrowtail 1$ and
$$
\bar j \coloneqq c(ext(j))
$$
the [[closed subtopos|closed topology]] that corresponds to the [[subterminal object]] $ext(j)$.
Here the first inclusion exhibits a [[dense subtopos]] and the second a [[closed subtopos]].
## Remark
$Sh_{c(ext(j))}(\mathcal{E})$ can be viewed as the 'best approximation' of $Sh_j(\mathcal{E})$ by a closed subtopos and therefore might be called the _closure_ $Cl(Sh_j(\mathcal{E}))$ of $Sh_j(\mathcal{E})$.[^sga4]
[^sga4]: ([SGA4](#SGA4), p.461) uses the term '_l'adhérence_' for it.
Its complement, the [[open subtopos]] $Ext(Sh_j(\mathcal{E}))$ corresponding to the [[subterminal object]] $ext(j)$ deserves in turn to be called the _exterior_ of $Sh_j(\mathcal{E})$.
## The (dominant,closed)-factorization
The (dense,closed)-factorization is a special case for inclusions of a slightly more general factorization which attaches to a general [[geometric morphism]] the closure of its image.
Recall that an inclusion is [[dense subtopos|dense]] precisely if it is a [[dominant geometric morphism]], hence the following is pertinent for the (dense,closed)-factorization as well.
+-- {: .num_prop #dense-closed}
###### Proposition
Let $i:Sh_{c(U)}(\mathcal{E})\hookrightarrow\mathcal{E}$ be dominant and a [[closed subtopos|closed inclusion]] at the same time. Then $i$ is an isomorphism.
=--
**Proof**: Recall that $X\in\mathcal{E}$ are in the [[closed subtopos]] precisely when they satisfy $X\times U\cong U$ with $U$ the [[subterminal object]] associated to $i$. But $i$ is dominant, or what comes to the same for inclusions: dense, hence $\emptyset$ is in $Sh_{c(U)}(\mathcal{E})$ and therefore $\emptyset\times U\cong U$ . From this follows $U\cong\emptyset$, which in turn implies that all $X\in\mathcal{E}$ are in $Sh_{c(U)}(\mathcal{E})$ . $\qed$
+-- {: .num_prop #dominant-closed}
###### Proposition
Let $f:\mathcal{F}\to\mathcal{E}$ be a geometric morphism. Then $f$ factors as a [[dominant geometric morphism]] $d$ followed by a [[closed subtopos|closed inclusion]] $c$.
=--
**Proof**: Let $i\circ d_1$ be the [[(geometric surjection, embedding) factorization system|surjection-inclusion factorization]] of $f$. Since $d_1$ is surjective, it is dominant (cf. [this proposition](dominant+geometric+morphism#dominant_surjection)). Then we use the (dense,closed)-factorization to factor $i$ into $c\circ d_2$. Since both $d_i$ are dominant, so is $d:=d_2\circ d_1$ and $c\circ d$ yields the demanded factorization of $f$. $\qed$

## Definition
An **epi-mono factorization system** is an [[orthogonal
factorization system]] in which the left class is the class of [[epimorphisms]] and the right class is the class of [[monomorphisms]]. Such a factorization system exists on any (elementary) [[topos]], and indeed on any [[pretopos]]. It provides the factorization through the [[image]] of any morphism.
## Properties
Note that any category which admits an epi-mono factorization system is necessarily [[balanced category|balanced]]. This excludes many commonly occurring categories. More common are ([[strong epimorphism|strong epi]], mono) and (epi, strong mono) factorization systems; the former exists in any [[regular category]] and the latter in any [[quasitopos]], as well as in other categories such as [[Top]].
The epi-mono factorization system in a topos is the special case of the [[n-connected/n-truncated factorization system]] in an [[(β,1)-topos]] for the case that $(n = -1)$ and restricted to [[0-truncated]] [[object]]s.

In the [[2-topos]] [[Cat]], the [[pair]] of [[classes]] of [[morphisms]]

## Idea
Every [[geometric morphism]] between [[toposes]] factors into a [[geometric surjection]] followed by a [[geometric embedding]]. This exhibits an [[image]] construction in the [[topos theory|topos-theoretic]] sense, and gives rise to a [[factorization system in a 2-category]] for [[Topos]].
## Statement
+-- {: .num_prop}
###### Proposition
There is a [[factorization system on a 2-category|factorization system]] on the [[2-category]] [[Topos]] whose left class is the
[[surjective geometric morphism]]s and whose right class is the [[geometric embeddings]].
Moreover, the factorization of a given geometric morphism $f : \mathcal{E} \to \mathcal{F}$ is, up to [[equivalence of categories|equivalence]], through the canonical surjection onto the [[topos of coalgebras]] $f^* f_* CoAlg(\mathcal{E})$ of the [[comonad]] $f^* f_* : \mathcal{E} \to \mathcal{E}$:
$$
\array{
\mathcal{E} &&\stackrel{f}{\to}&& \mathcal{F}
\\
& {}_{\mathllap{F}}\searrow && \nearrow
\\
&& f^* f_* CoAlg(\mathcal{E})
}
\,E.
$$
=--
This appears for instance as ([MacLaneMoerdijk, VII 4., theorem 6](#MacLaneMoerdijk)).
We use the following lemma
+-- {: .num_lemma #ConditionForSheafFactorization}
###### Lemma
Let $j$ be a [[Lawvere-Tierney topology]] on a [[topos]] $\mathcal{E}$ and write $i : Sh_j(\mathcal{E}) \to \mathcal{E}$ for the corresponding [[geometric embedding]].
Then a [[geometric morphism]] $f : \mathcal{F} \to \mathcal{E}$ factors through $i$ precisely if
* the [[direct image]] $f_*$ takes values in $j$-sheaves;
or, equivalently
* the [[inverse image]] $f^*$ sends $j$-[[dense monomorphism]]s to [[isomorphism]]s.
=--
This appears as ([MacLaneMoerdijk, VII 4. prop. 2](#MacLaneMoerdijk)).
+-- {: .proof}
###### Proof of the lemma
We first show the first statement, that for $f$ to factor it is sufficient for $f_*$ to take values in $j$-sheaves: in that case, set
$$
p_* := i^* f_*: \mathcal{F} \to Sh_j(\mathcal{E})
\,.
$$
Since by assumption the [[unit of an adjunction|unit]] map $x \to i_* i^* x$ is an [[isomorphism]] on the image of $f_*$ this indeed serves to factor $f_*$:
$$
i_* p_* \simeq i_* i^* f_* \simeq f_*
\,.
$$
The [[left adjoint]] to $p_*$ is then
$$
p^* \simeq f^* i_*
\,,
$$
because
$$
\begin{aligned}
\mathcal{F}(g^* E, F)
& \simeq \mathcal{F}(f^* i_* E, F)
\\
& \simeq \mathcal{E}(i_* E, f_* F)
\\
& \simeq \mathcal{E}(i_* E, i_* i^* f_* F)
\\
& \simeq Sh_j\mathcal{E} (E, i^* f_* F)
\\
& \simeq Sh_j(E, p_* F)
\end{aligned}
\,,
$$
where in the middle steps we used that $f_* F$ is a $j$-sheaf, by assumption, and that $i_*$ is full and faithful.
It is clear that $p^*$ is left exact, and so $(p^* \dashv p_*)$ is indeed a factorizing geometric morphism.
We now show that $f_*$ taking values in sheaves is equivalent to $f^*$ mapping dense monos to isos.
Let $u : U \hookrightarrow X$ be a $j$-[[dense monomorphism]] and $A \in \mathcal{E}$ any object. Consider the induced naturality square
$$
\array{
\mathcal{E}(X, f_* A) &\stackrel{\simeq}{\to}& \mathcal{F}(f^* X, A)
\\
{}^{\mathllap{\mathcal{E}(u, f_* A)}}\downarrow
&&
\downarrow^{\mathrlap{\mathcal{F}(f^* u, A)}}
\\
\mathcal{E}(U, f_* A)
&\stackrel{\simeq}{\to}&
\mathcal{F}(f^* U, A)
}
$$
of the adjunction [[natural isomorphism]]. If now $f_* A$ is a $j$-sheaf and $u$ a [[dense monomorphism]], then by definition the left vertical morphism is also an isomorphism and so is the right one. By the [[Yoneda lemma]] this being an iso for all $A$ is equivalent to $f^* u$ being an iso. And conversely.
=--
+-- {: .proof}
###### Proof of the proposition
Let $f : \mathcal{F} \to \mathcal{E}$ be any [[geometric morphism]].
We first discuss the existence of the factorization, then its uniqueness.
To construct the factorization, we shall give a [[Lawvere-Tierney topology]] on $\mathcal{E}$ and factor $f$ through the [[geometric embedding]] of the corresponding [[sheaf topos]].
Take the closure operator $\overline{(-)} : Sub(-)_{\mathcal{E}} \to Sub(-)_{\mathcal{E}}$ to be given by sending $U \hookrightarrow X$ to the [[pullback]]
$$
\array{
\overline{U} &\to& f_* f^* U
\\
\downarrow && \downarrow
\\
X &\to& f_* f^* X
}
\,,
$$
where the bottom morphism is the $(f^* \dashv f_*)$-[[unit of an adjunction|unit]]. One checks that this is indeed a closure operator by the fact that $f^*$ preserves both pullbacks and pushouts.
Notice that this implies that for two [[subobject]]s $U_1, U_2 \hookrightarrow X$ we have
\[
\label{ASubobjectRelation}
(U_1 \subset \overline{U_2})
\;\;\;
\Leftrightarrow
\;\;\;
(f^* U_1 \subset f^* U_2)
\]
Write $j$ for the corresponding [[Lawvere-Tierney topology]] and
$$
i : Sh_j(\mathcal{E}) \to \mathcal{E}
$$
for the corresponding [[geometric embedding]].
By lemma \ref{ConditionForSheafFactorization} we get a factorization through $I$ if $f^*$ sends $j$-[[dense monomorphism]]s to [[isomorphism]]s. But if $U \hookrightarrow X$ is dense so that $X \subset \overline{U}$ then, by (eq:ASubobjectRelation), $f^* X \subset f^* U$ and hence $f^* X = f^* U$.
Write
$$
f : \mathcal{F} \stackrel{p}{\to} Sh_j(\mathcal{E}) \stackrel{i}{\to}
\mathcal{E}
$$
for the factorization thus established. It remains to show that $p$ here is a [[geometric surjection]]. By one of the equivalent characterizations discussed there, this is the case if $p^*$ induces an injective homomorphism of subobject lattices.
So suppose that for subobjects $U_1, U_2 \subset X$ we have $p^* U_1 \simeq p^* U_2$. Observe that then also $f^* i_* U_1 \simeq f^* i_* U_2$, because
$$
\begin{aligned}
f^* i_* U_1 & \simeq p^* i^* i_* U_1
\\
& \simeq p^* U_1
\\
& \simeq p^* U_2
\\
& \simeq p^* i^* i_* U_2
\\
& \simeq f^* i:* U_2
\end{aligned}
$$
by the fact that $i_*$ is [[full and faithful functor|full and faithful]]. With (eq:ASubobjectRelation) it follows that also
$$
i_* U_1 \simeq \overline{i_* U_2}
$$
and hence
$$
\cdots \simeq i_* U_2
$$
by the very fact that $i_*$ includes $j$-sheaves in general, hence $j$-closed subobjects in particular. Finally since $i_*$ if a [[full and faithful functor]] this means that
$$
U_1 \simeq U_2
\,.
$$
So $p^*$ is indeed injective on subobjects and so $p$ is a [[geometric surjection]].
This establishes the existence of a surjection/embedding factorization. Next we discss that this is unique.
So consider two factorizations
$$
\array{
&& \mathcal{A}
\\
& {}^{\mathllap{p_1}}\nearrow &\Downarrow^\simeq& \searrow^{\mathrlap{i_1}}
\\
\mathcal{F}
&&\stackrel{f}{\to}&&
\mathcal{E}
\\
& {}_{\mathllap{p_2}}\searrow &\downarrow^{\simeq}& \nearrow_{\mathrlap{i_2}}
\\
&& \mathcal{B}
}
$$
into a geometric surjection followed by a geometric embedding.
We will now argue that $i_1$ factors -- essentially uniquely -- through $i_2$ in a way that makes
$$
\array{
&& \mathcal{A}
\\
& {}^{\mathllap{p_1}}\nearrow && \searrow^{\mathrlap{i_1}}
\\
\mathcal{F}
&&\downarrow^g&&
\mathcal{E}
\\
& {}_{\mathllap{p_2}}\searrow && \nearrow_{\mathrlap{i_2}}
\\
&& \mathcal{B}
}
$$
commute up to natural isomorphisms. By the same argument for the upside-down situation we find an essentially unique middle vertical morphism $h : \mathcal{B} \to \mathcal{A}$ the other way round. Then essential uniqueness of these factorizations implies that $g \circ h \simeq Id$ and $h \circ g \simeq Id$. This means that the original two factorizations are equivalent.
To find $g$ and $h$, use again that every [[geometric embedding]] (by the discussion there) is, up to equivalence, an inclusion of $j$-sheaves for some $j$. Find such a $j$ the bottom morphism and then use again lemma \ref{ConditionForSheafFactorization} that $i_1$ factors through $i_2$ -- essentially uniquely -- precisely if $i_1^*$ sends [[dense monomorphism]]s to isomorphisms.
To see that it does, let $IU \to X$ be a dense mono and consider the naturality square
$$
\array{
p_2^* i_2^* U &\stackrel{\simeq}{\to}& p_1^* i_1^* U
\\
\downarrow && \downarrow
\\
p_2^* i_2^* X &\stackrel{\simeq}{\to}& p_1^* i_1^* X
}
\,.
$$
Since $i_2^*(U \to X)$ is an iso by definition, the left vertical morphism is, and thus so is the right vertical morphism. But since $p_1$ is a [[geometric surjection]] we have (by the discussion there) that $p_1^*$ is [[conservative functor|conservative]], and hence also $i_1^* U \to i_1^* X$ is an isomorphism.
Hence $i_1$ factors via some $g$ through $i_2$ and the proof is completed by the above argument.

## Examples

$$
Sh(X) \to Sh(im(f)) \to Sh(Y)

$$
\mathcal{E}/X \to \mathcal{E}/im(f) \to \mathcal{E}/Y
$$
is a geometric surjection/embedding factorization.
* For $f : C \to D$ any [[functor]] between [[categories]], write $C \to im(f) \to D$ for its [[essential image]] factorization. Then the induced composite <a href="http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/geometric%20morphism#BetweenPresheafToposes">geometric morphism of presheaf toposes</a>
$$
[C^{op}, Set] \stackrel{}{\to} [im(f)^{op}, Set] \to
[D^{op}, Set]
$$
is a geometric surjection/embedding factorization.
See ([MacLaneMoerdijk, p. 377](#MacLaneMoerdijk)).
## Properties
### As idempotent approximation
A geometric morphism $f:\mathcal{F}\to\mathcal{E}$ induces via the adjunction $f^\ast\vdash f_\ast$ a [[monad]] on $\mathcal{E}$. Due to a general result by S. Fakir this induces an associated [[idempotent monad]] on $\mathcal{E}$ and this idempotent approximation coincides with the monad induced by $i^\ast\vdash i_\ast$ given by the inclusion $i$ from the factorization $f=i\circ q$.
For references and further details on the idempotent approximation see at [[idempotent monad]].
### A logical description
Let $T$ be a [[geometric theory]] over a signature $\Sigma$ and $f:\mathcal{E}\to Set[T]$ a geometric morphism to its [[classifying topos]]. Then by the general properties of a classifying topos, $f$ corresponds to a certain $T$-model $M$ in $\mathcal{E}$.
Notice that every geometric morphism $f$ between [[Grothendieck toposes]] is of this form for some geometric theory $T$ and hence corresponds to some model $M$ ! This model permits to attach a geometric theory to $f$ as well:
The **theory of M** $Th(M)$ consists of all geometric sequents $\sigma$ over $\Sigma$ such that $M\models \sigma$.
Then the following holds ([Caramello 2009](#Caramello09), p.57):
+-- {: .num_prop}
###### Proposition
The topos occurring in the middle of the surjection-embedding factorization of $f$ is precisely the classifying topos for $Th(M)$: $\mathcal{E}\twoheadrightarrow Set[Th(M)]\hookrightarrow Set[T]$.

## Idea
Following the terminology of *[[(n,r)-category|(n,r)-categories]]*, an __$(\infty,0)$-category__ is an [[β-category]] in which every $j$-morphism (for $j \gt 0$) is an [[equivalence]].
So in an $(\infty,0)$-category _every_ morphism is an [[equivalence]]. Such [[β-categories]] are usually called _[[β-groupoid]]s_.
This is directly analogous to how a [[0-category]] is equivalent to a [[set]], a [[(1,0)-category]] is equivalent to a [[groupoid]], and so on. (In general, an [[(n,0)-category]] is equivalent to an [[n-groupoid]].)
The term "$(\infty,0)$-category" is rarely used, but does for instance serve the purpose of amplifying the generalization from [[Kan complex]]es, which are one model for [[β-groupoid]]s, to [[quasi-category|quasi-categories]], which are a model for [[(β,1)-categories]].

### $(\infty,1)$-Category of $(\infty,1)$-Bimodules and intertwiners
Write $BMod^\otimes$ for the [[(β,1)-category of operators]] of the [[(β,1)-operad]] [[operad for bimodules]]. Write
$$
\iota_{\pm} \colon Assoc \to BMod
$$
for the two canonical inclusions of the [[associative operad]] (as discussed at _[operad for bimodules - relation to the associative operad](#RelationToTheAssociativeOperad)_).
+-- {: .num_defn #NotationForWeaklyBiEnrichedInfinityCategory}
###### Definition (Notation)
For $p \colon \mathcal{C}^\otimes \to BMod^\otimes$ a [[fibration of (β,1)-operads]], write
$$
\mathcal{C}^\otimes_{\pm}
\coloneqq
\mathcal{C}^\otimes \underset{BMod^\otimes}{\times}^\pm Assoc^\otimes
$$
for the two [[fiber products]] of $p$ with the inclusions $\iota_\pm$. The canonical [[projection]] maps
$$
\mathcal{C}^\otimes_{\pm}
\to
Assoc^\otimes
$$
exhibit these as two [[planar (β,1)-operads]].
Finally write
$$
\mathcal{C}
\coloneqq
\mathcal{C}^\otimes \underset{BMod^\otimes}{\times} \{\mathfrak{n}\}
$$
for the [[(β,1)-category]] over the object labeled $\mathfrak{n}$.

###### Remark
This exhibits $\mathcal{C}$ as equipped with [[weak tensoring]] over $\mathcal{C}_-$ and reverse weak tensoring over $\mathcal{C}_+$.

The most familiar special case of these definitions to keep in mind is the following.
+-- {: .num_remark #MonoidalCategoryAsBitensoredOverItself}
###### Remark
For $\mathcal{C}^\otimes \to Assoc^\otimes$ a [[coCartesian fibration of (β,1)-operads]], hence exhibiting $\mathcal{C}^\otimes$ as a [[monoidal (β,1)-category]], [[pullback]] along the canonical map $\phi \colon BMod^\otimes \to Assoc^\otimes$ gives a fibration
$$
\phi^* \mathcal{C}^\otimes \to BMod^\otimes
$$
as in def. \ref{NotationForWeaklyBiEnrichedInfinityCategory} above. In the terminology there this exhibts $\mathcal{C}$ as weakly enriched (weakly [[tensoring|tensored]]) over itself from the left and from the right.
This is the special case for which bimodules are traditionally considered.

###### Definition
For $\mathcal{C}^\otimes \to BMod^\otimes$ a [[fibration of (β,1)-operads]] we say that the corresponding [[(β,1)-category]] of [[(β,1)-algebras over an (β,1)-operad]]
$$
BMod(\mathcal{C}) \coloneqq Alg_{/BMod}(\mathcal{C})
$$
is the **$(\infty,1)$-category of $(\infty,1)$-bimodules** in $\mathcal{C}$.
Composition with the two inclusions $\iota_{1,2}\colon Assoc BMod$ of the [[associative operad]] yields a [[fibration]] in the [[model structure for quasi-categories]] $BMod(\mathcal{C}) \to Alg(\mathcal{C}_-)\times Alg(\mathcal{C}_+)$. Then for $A_- \in Alg_{\mathcal{C}_-}$ and $A_+ \in Alg_{\mathcal{C}_+}$ two algebras the [[fiber product]]
$$
{}_A BMod_{B}(\mathcal{C})
\coloneqq
\{A\}
\underset{Alg(\mathcal{C}_-)}{\times}
BMod(\mathcal{C})
\underset{Alg(\mathcal{C}_-)}{\times}
\{B\}
$$
we call the **$(\infty,1)$-category of $A$-$B$-bimodules**.

###### Example
For the special case of remark \ref{MonoidalCategoryAsBitensoredOverItself} where the bitensored structure on $\mathcal{C}$ is induced from a monoidal structure $\mathcal{C}^\otimes \to Asoc^\otimes$, we have by the [[universal property]] of the [[pullback]] that
$$
BMod(\mathcal{C})
\simeq
{Alg_{BMod}}_{/Assoc}(\mathcal{C})
\simeq
\left\{
\array{
&& \mathcal{C}
\\
&{}^{\mathllap{(A,B,N)}}\nearrow& \downarrow
\\
BMod^\otimes &\to& Assoc^\otimes
}
\right\}
$$
=--
+-- {: .num_remark}
###### Remark
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a [[1-category]], for simplicity.
Then a [[morphism]]
$$
(A_1,B_1,N_1) \to $(A_2,B_2,N_2)$
$$
in $BMod(\mathcal{C})$ is a pair $\phi_1 \colon A_1 \to A_1$, $\rho \colon B_1 \to B_2$ of algebra homomorphisms and a morphism $\kappa \colon N_1 \to N_2$ which is "linear in both $A$ and $B$" or "is an [[intertwiner]]" with respect to $\phi$ and $\rho$ in that for all $a \in A$, $b \in B$ and $n \in N$ we have
$$
\kappa(a \cdot n \cdot b) = \phi(a) \cdot \kappa(n)
\,.
$$
It is natural to depict this by the square diagram
$$
\array{
A_1 &\stackrel{N_1}{\to}& B_1
\\
{}^{\mathllap{\phi}}\downarrow
&
\Downarrow^{\kappa}
&
\downarrow^{\mathrlap{\rho}}
\\
A_2 &\underset{N_2}{\to}& B_2
}
\,.
$$
This notation is naturally suggestive of the existence of the further [[horizontal composition]] by [[tensor product of (β,1)-modules]], which we come to [below](#TensorProductOfBimodules).
On the other hand, a morphism $N_1 \to N_2$ in ${}_A BMod(\mathcal{C})_B$ is given by the special case of the above for $\phi = id$ and $\rho = id$.

### Tensor products of $(\infty,1)$-Bimodules

###### Definition (Notation)
Write $Tens^\otimes$ for the [[generalized (β,1)-operad]]
discussed at _[[tensor product of β-modules]]_.
For $S \to \Delta^{op}$ an [[(β,1)-functor]] (given as a map of simplicial sets from a [[quasi-category]] $S$ to the [[nerve]] of the [[simplex category]]), write
$$

for the [[fiber product]] in [[sSet]].
Moreover, for $\mathcal{C}^\otimes \to Tens^\otimes_S$ a [[fibration]] in the [[model structure for quasi-categories]] which exhibits $\mathcal{C}^\otimes$ as an $S$-[[family of (β,1)-operads]], write
$$
Alg_S(\mathcal{C}) \hookrightarrow Fun_{Tens^\otimes_S}(Step_S, \mathcal{C}^\otimes)
$$
for the full [[sub-(β,1)-category]] on those [[(β,1)-functors]] which send inert morphisms to inert morphisms.

([Lurie, notation 4.3.4.15](#Lurie))
### The $(\infty,2)$-Category of $(\infty,1)$-algebras and -bimodules
We discuss the generalization of the notion of bimodules to [[homotopy theory]], hence the generalization from [[category theory]] to [[(β,1)-category theory]]. ([Lurie, section 4.3](#Lurie)).
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be [[monoidal (β,1)-category]] such that
1. it admits [[geometric realization]] of [[simplicial objects in an (β,1)-category]] (hence a [[left adjoint|left]] [[adjoint (β,1)-functor]] ${\vert-\vert} \colon \mathcal{C}^{\Delta^{op}} \to \mathcal{C}$ to the constant simplicial object functor), true notably when $\mathcal{C}$ is a [[presentable (β,1)-category]];
1. the [[tensor product]] $\otimes \colon \mathcal{C}\times \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{C}$ preserves this geometric realization separately in each argument.
Then there is an
[[(β,2)-category]] $Mod(\mathcal{C})$ which given as an [[(β,1)-category object]] internal to [[(β,1)Cat]] has
* $(\infty,1)$-category of objects
$$
Mod(\mathcal{C})_{[0]} \simeq Alg(\mathcal{C})
$$
the [[A-β algebras]] and [[β-algebra]] [[homomorphisms]] in $\mathcal{C}$;
* $(\infty,1)$-category of morphisms
$$
Mod(\mathcal{C})_{[1]} \simeq BMod(\mathcal{C})
$$
the $\infty$-bimodules and bimodule homomorphisms ([[intertwiners]]) in $\mathcal{C}$
This is ([Lurie, def. 4.3.6.10, remark 4.3.6.11](#Lurie)).
Morover, the [[horizontal composition]] of bimodules in this [[(β,2)-category]] is indeed the relative
[[tensor product of β-modules]]
$$
\circ_{A,B,C}
=
(-) \otimes_B (-)
\;\colon\;
{}_A Mod_{B} \times {}_{B}Mod_C \to {}_A Mod_C
\,.
$$
This is ([Lurie, lemma 4.3.6.9 (3)](#Lurie)).
Here are some steps in the construction:
The **idea** of the following constructions is this:
we start with a [[generalized (β,1)-operad]]
$Tens^\otimes \to FinSet_* \times \Delta^{op}$ which is such that
the [[(β,1)-algebras over an (β,1)-operad]] over its fiber over $[k] \in \Delta^{op}$ is equivalently the collection of $(k+1)$-tuples of
[[A-β algebras]] in $\mathcal{C}$ together with a string of $k$ $\infty$-bimodules between them. Then we turn that into a [[simplicial object in an (β,1)-category|simplicial object]] in [[(β,1)Cat]]
$$
Mod(\mathcal{C}) \in ((\infty,1)Cat)^{\Delta^{op}}
\,.
$$
This turns out to be an [[internal (β,1)-category]] object in [[(β,1)Cat]], hence an [[(β,2)-category]] whose object of objects is the category $Alg(\mathcal{C})$ of [[A-β algebras]] and [[homomorphisms]] in $\mathcal{C}$ between them, and whose object of morphisms is the category $BMod(\mathcal{C})$ of $\infty$-bimodules and [[intertwiners]].
+-- {: .num_defn}
###### Definition
Define $Mod(\mathcal{C}) \to \Delta^{op}$ as the map of [[simplicial sets]] with the [[universal property]] that for every other map of simplicial set $K \to \Delta^{op}$ there is a canonical bijection
$$
Hom_{sSet/\Delta^{op}}(K, Mod(\mathcal{C}))
\simeq
Alg_{Tens_K / Assoc}( \mathcal{C} )
\,,
$$
where
* on the left we have the hom-simplicial set in the [[slice category]]
* on the right we have the [[(β,1)-category]] of [[(β,1)-algebras over an (β,1)-operad]] given by lifts $\mathcal{A}$ in
$$

&& \mathcal{C}^\otimes
\\
&{}^{\mathcal{A}}\nearrow& \downarrow

Tens_K &\to& Assoc

## Idea
Where an ordinary [[category]] has a [[hom-set]], an [[(β,1)-category]] has an [[β-groupoid]] of morphisms between any two objects, a _hom-space_.
There are several ways to _present_ an [[(β,1)-category]] $\mathbf{C}$ by an ordinary [[category]] $C$ equipped with some extra structure: for instance $C$ may be a [[category with weak equivalences]] or a [[model category]] or even a [[simplicial model category]]. In all of these presentations, given two objects $X, Y \in C$, there is a way to construct a [[simplicial set]] $\mathbb{R}\mathbf{C}(X,Y)$ that presents the hom-[[β-groupoid]] $\mathbf{C}(X,Y)$. This simplicial set -- or rather its [[homotopy type]] -- is called the
_derived hom space_ or _homotopy function complex_ and denoted $\mathbf{R}Hom(X,Y)$ or similarly.
## Presentations
There are many ways to present an [[(β,1)-category]] by [[category theory|category theoretic data]], and for each of these there are corresponding tools for explicitly computing the derived hom spaces.
The most basic data is that of a [[category with weak equivalences]]. Here the derived hom spaces can be constructed in terms of zig-zags of morphisms by a process called _[[simplicial localization]]_. This we discuss below in _[For a category with weak equivalences](#ForACategoryWithWeakEquivalences)_.
Particularly useful extra structure on a [[category with weak equivalences]] that helps with computing the derived hom spaces is the structure of a _[[model category]]_. Using this one can construct simplicial resolutions of objects -- called _framings_ -- that generalize [[cylinder objects]] and [[path objects]], and then construct the derived hom spaces in terms of direct morphisms between these resolutions. This we discuss below in _[For a model category](#Framings)_.
Still a bit more helpful structure on top of a bare model category is that of a [[simplicial model category]]. Here, after a choice of cofibrant and fibrant resolutions of opjects, the derived hom spaces are given already by the [[sSet]]-[[hom objects]]. This we discuss below in _[For a simplicial model category](#EnrichedHomsCofToFib)_.

such that each morphism going to the left, $X_{2k}\leftarrow X_{2k +1}$, is a [[weak equivalence]], an element in $W$;

The derived hom spaces of a model category $C$ may always be computed
in terms of simplicial resolutions with respect to the [[Reedy model structure]]
$[\Delta^{op}, C]_{Reedy}$. These resolutions are often called
_framings_ ([Hovey](#Hovey)). These constructions are originally due to
([Dwyer-Hirschhorn-Kan](#DHK)).

1. A _right framing_ in $C$ is a functor $(-)_\bullet : C \to [\Delta^{op}, C]$

###### Remark
By developing these constructions further, one obtains
a canonical [[simplicial model category]]-resolution of
(left proper and combinatorial) model categories $C$, such that
the simplicial resolutions given by framings are just the
cofibrant$\to$fibrant $sSet$-hom objects as discussed
[below](#EnrichedHomsCofToFib).

###### Proposition
Let $C$ be a model category, let $\mathrm{c}_\mathrm{w} C$ be the full subcategory of $[\Delta, C]$ spanned by the cosimplicial objects whose coface and codegeneracy operators are weak equivalences, and let $\mathrm{s}_\mathrm{w} C$ be the full subcategory of $[\Delta^{op}, C]$ spanned by the simplicial objects whose face and degeneracy operators are weak equivalences.
1. $const : C \to \mathrm{c}_\mathrm{w} C$ is the right half of an adjoint homotopical equivalence of [[homotopical category|homotopical categories]], and $const : C \to \mathrm{s}_\mathrm{w} C$ is the left half of an adjoint homotopical equivalence of homotopical categories.
2. The functor $\operatorname{diag} Hom_C : (\mathrm{c}_\mathrm{w} C)^{op} \times \mathrm{s}_\mathrm{w} C \to sSet$ admits a right [[derived functor]].
3. The induced functor $(\operatorname{Ho} C)^{op} \times \operatorname{Ho} C \to \operatorname{Ho} sSet$ is the derived hom-space functor.

### For a simplicial model category
{#EnrichedHomsCofToFib}
We describe here in more detail properties of [[derived hom-functors]] (see there for more) in a [[simplicial model category]].
The crucial axiom used for this is the axiom of an [[enriched model category]] $C$ which says that
* the [[copower|tensor operation]]
$$
\cdot : C \times SSet \to C
$$
is a [[Quillen bifunctor]];
* or equivalently that for $X \to Y$ a cofibration
and $A \to B$ a fibration the induced morphism
$$
C(Y, A) \to C(X,A) \times_{C(X,B)} C(Y,B)
$$
is a fibration, which is acyclic if either
$X \to Y$ or $A \to B$ is.
First of all the first statement directly implies that for $\emptyset \in C$ the [[initial object]] and $A \in C$ any object, the simplicial set $C(\emptyset,A) = {*}$ is the terminal simplicial set (see also [this Prop.](powered+and+copowered+category#InTensoredCotensoredCategoryInitialObjectIsEnrichedInitial)): because for any simplicial set $S$
$$
\begin{aligned}
SSet(S,C(\emptyset, A))
& = Hom_C(\emptyset \cdot S, A)
\\
& = Hom_C(colim_{\emptyset} \cdot S, A)
\\
& = Hom_C(\emptyset, A)
\\
&= {*}
\end{aligned}
\,,
$$
where we use that the [[copower|tensor]] [[Quillen bifunctor]] is required to respect [[colimit]]s and that the empty colimit is the [[initial object]]. (All equality signs here denote [[isomorphisms]], to distinguish them from weak equivalences.)
Similarly one has for all $X$ that $C(X,{*}) = {*}$.
Using this, the second equivalent form of the enrichment axiom has as a special case the following statement.
+-- {: .num_lemma }
###### Lemma
In a [[simplicial model category]] $C$, for $X \in C$ cofibrant and $A \in C$ fibrant, the [[simplicial set]] $C(X,A)$ is a [[Kan complex]].
=--
+-- {: .proof}
###### Proof
We apply the [[enriched model category]] axiom to the cofibration $\emptyset \to X$ and the fibration $A \to {*}$ to obtain a fibration
$$
C(X,A) \to C(\emptyset, A) \times_{C(\emptyset,{*})} C(X,{*})
\,.
$$
The right hand is the [[pullback]] of the terminal simplicial set ${*} = \Delta^0$ to itself, hence is itself the point. So we have a fibration $ C(X,A) \to {*}$
and $C(X,A)$ is a fibrant object in the standard [[model structure on simplicial sets]], hence a [[Kan complex]].
.
=--
+-- {: .num_lemma }
###### Lemma
In a [[simplicial model category]] $C$, for $X \in C$ cofibrant and $f : A \to B$ a fibration, the morphism of [[simplicial set]]s $C(X,f) : C(X,A) \to C(X,B)$ is a [[Kan fibration]] that is a [[weak homotopy equivalence]] if $f$ is acyclic.
Dually, for $i : X \to Y$ a cofibration and $A$ fibrant, the morphism $C(i,A) : C(X,A) \to C(Y,A)$ is a cofibration of simplicial sets.
=--
+-- {: .proof}
###### Proof
This is as before. Explicity, consider the first case, the second one is the formal dual of that:
We enter the enrichment axiom with the morphisms $\emptyset \to X$ and $A \to B$ and find for the required [[pullback]] that
$$
C(\emptyset,A) \times_{C(\emptyset, B)} C(X,B)
=
{*} \times_{*} C(X,B)
=
C(X,B)
$$
and hence that $C(X,A) \to C(X,B)$ is, indeed, a fibration, which is acyclic if $A \to B$ is.
=--
+-- {: .num_proposition }
###### Proposition
Let $C$ be a [[simplicial model category]].
Then for $X$ a cofibant object and
$$
f : A \stackrel{\simeq}{\to} B
$$
a weak equivalence between fibrant objects, the [[enriched functor|enriched]] [[hom-object|hom-functor]]
$$
C(X,f) : C(X,A) \to C(X,B)
$$
is a [[weak homotopy equivalence]] of [[Kan complex]]es.
Similarly, for $A$ a fibrant object and $j : X \stackrel{\simeq}{\to} Y$ a weak equivalence between cofibrant objects, the morphism
$$
C(j,A) : C(X,A) \to C(Y,A)
$$
is a [[weak homotopy equivalence]] of [[Kan complex]]es.
=--
+-- {: .proof}
###### Proof
The second case is formally dual to the first, so we restrict attention to the first one.
By the above, the axioms of an [[enriched model category]] ensure that the above statement is true when $f$ is in addition a fibration. So we reduce the situation to that case.
This is possible because both $A$ and $B$ are assumed to be fibrant. This allows to apply the _factorization lemma_ that is described in great detail at [[category of fibrant objects]]. By this lemma, for every morphism $f : A \to B$ between fibrant objects there is a commutative diagram
$$
\array{
&& \mathbf{E}_f B
\\
& {}^{\mathllap{\in fib \cap W}}\swarrow && \searrow^{\mathrlap{\in fib}}
\\
A &&\stackrel{\simeq}{\to}&& B
}
$$
Since $f$ is assumed a weak equivalence it follows by [[category with weak equivalences|2-out-of-3]] that $\mathbf{E}_f B$ is also a weak equivalence.
Therefore by the above properties of simpliciall enriched categories we obtain a [[span]] of acyclic fibrations of [[Kan complex]]es
$$
C(X,A) \stackrel{\simeq}{\leftarrow}
C(X, \mathbf{E}_f B)
\stackrel{\simeq}{\to}
C(X,B)
\,.
$$
By the [[Whitehead theorem]] every weak equivalence of Kan complexes is a [[homotopy equivalence]], hence there is a weak equivalence
$$
C(X,A) \stackrel{\simeq}{\to} C(X,\mathbf{E}_f B) \stackrel{\simeq}{\to} C(X,B)
$$
that is homotopic to our $C(X,f)$. Therefore this is also a weak equivalence.

### Comparison
Let $C$ be a [[model category]]. We discuss how its
simplicial function complexes from prop. \ref{SimplicialFunctionComplexes}
are related to the simplicial localization from def. \ref{ZigZagCategories} and def. \ref{HammockLocalization}.
Suppose now that $Q : C \to C$ is a [[cofibrant replacement functor]] and $R : C \to C$ a [[fibrant replacement functor]], $\Gamma^\bullet : C \to (cC)_c$ a [[cosimplicial resolution functor]] and $\Lambda_\bullet : C \to (sC)_f$ a [[simplicial resolution functor]] in the [[model category]] $C$.

###### Theorem
**(Dwyer--Kan)**
There are natural weak equivalences between the following equivalent realizations of this [[SSet]] [[hom-object]]:
$$
\array{
Mor_C(\Gamma^\bullet X, R Y)
&\stackrel{\simeq}{\to}&
diag Mor_C(\Gamma^\bullet X, \Lambda_\bullet Y)
&\stackrel{\simeq}{\leftarrow}&
Mor_C(Q X, \Lambda_\bullet Y)
\\
&&
\uparrow^\simeq
\\
&&
hocolim_{p,q \in \Delta^{op} \times \Delta^{op}}
Mor_C(\Gamma^p X, \Lambda_q Y)
\\
&&\downarrow^\simeq
\\
&&N wMor_C^3(X,Y)
\\
&&\downarrow^\simeq
\\
&&Mor_{L^H C}(X,Y)
}
\,.
$$

The top row weak equivalences are those of prop. \ref{SimplicialFunctionComplexes}
### In a category of fibrant objects
{#InACategoryOfFibrantObjects}
There is also an explicit simplicial construction of the derived hom spaces for a homotopical category that is equipped with the structure of a [[category of fibrant objects]].
This is described in ([Cisinksi 10](#Cisinski10)) and ([Nikolaus-Schreiber-Stevenson 12, section 3.6.2](#NSS12)).

###### Theorem
For $C$ a [[simplicial model category]] and $X$ an object, the [[delooping]] of the [[automorphism β-group]]
$$
Aut_W(X) \subset \mathbb{R}Hom(X,X)
$$
has the [[homotopy type]] of the component on $X$ of the [[nerve]] $N(C_W)$ of the [[subcategory]] of weak equivalences:
$$
\mathbf{B} Aut_W(X) \simeq N(C_W)_X
\,.
$$
The equivalence is given by a finite sequence of [[zig-zags]] and is natural with respect to [[sSet]]-[[enriched functors]] of simplicial model categories that preserve weak equivalences and send a fibrant cofibrant model for $X$ again to a fibrant cofibrant object.

###### Corollary
For $C$ a model category, the simplicial set $N(C_W)$ is a model for the
[[core]] of the [[(β,1)-category]] determined by $C$.
=--
+-- {: .proof}
###### Proof
That core, like every [[β-groupoid]] is equivalent to the disjoint union over its connected components of the deloopings of the automorphism $\infty$-groups of any representatives in each connected component.
