Categorical Bass-Serre Theory for Tree Quotients

Jiacheng Tang

We develop a categorical framework for Bass-Serre theory, which recovers parts of classical and profinite Bass-Serre theories for tree quotients. More precisely, we show that in wh…

Profinite Cosheaves Valued in Pro-regular Categories

Jiacheng Tang

We prove that the category of profinite cosheaves valued in a pro-regular category (satisfying mild assumptions) is itself canonically a pro-completion. As a corollary, we extend W…

Profinite and Solid Cohomology

Jiacheng Tang

Solid abelian groups, as introduced by Dustin Clausen and Peter Scholze, form a subcategory of all condensed abelian groups satisfying some ''completeness'' conditions and having f…

Coproducts Internal to Profinite Spaces

Jiacheng Tang

We give a categorical explanation for many properties of profinite coproducts of profinite groups, which were previously proven on a case-by-case basis. All of these properties tak…

Profinite Direct Sums with Applications to Profinite Groups of Type

Jiacheng Tang

We show that the "profinite direct sum" is a good notion of infinite direct sums for profinite modules having properties similar to direct sums of abstract modules. For example, th…

Open Condensed Subgroups and Mackey's Formula

Jiacheng Tang

We define what it means for a condensed group action to be open (following Scholze) and show that for open subgroups, many elementary results about abstract modules hold for conden…
