Universal property of graph cobordisms
Andrea Bianchi, Adela Yiyu Zhang
We exhibit the symmetric monoidal -category of graph cobordisms between spaces as a full -subcategory of the -category $\mathrm{Psh}(\mathr…

String topology and graph cobordisms
Andrea Bianchi
We introduce a symmetric monoidal -category of graph cobordisms between spaces, and use the homology of its morphism spaces to define string operations. Pr…

Poincaré Duality Pairs of -Categories
Andrea Bianchi, Kaif Hilman, Dominik Kirstein +1
We introduce a notion of Poincaré duality for pairs of -categories, extending Poincaré-Lefschetz duality for pairs of spaces. This categorical extension yields an efficie…

Symmetric monoidal extensions and graph cobordisms between finite sets
Andrea Bianchi
Given a symmetric monoidal -category and a space , we address the problem of explicitly describing the symmetric monoidal -category freely…
