We give an elementary and direct combinatorial definition of opetopes in terms of trees, well-suited for graphical manipulation and explicit computation. To relate our definition to the classical definition, we recast the Baez-Dolan slice construction for operads in terms of polynomial monads: our opetopes appear naturally as types for polynomial monads obtained by iterating the Baez-Dolan construction, starting with the trivial monad. We show that our notion of opetope agrees with Leinsters. Next we observe a suspension operation for opetopes, and define a notion of stable opetopes. Stable opetopes form a least fixpoint for the Baez-Dolan construction. A final section is devoted to example computations, and indicates also how the calculus of opetopes is well-suited for machine implementation.

We study unitary pseudonatural transformations (UPTs) between fibre functors Rep(G) -> Hilb, where G is a compact quantum group. For fibre functors F_1, F_2 we show that the category of UPTs F_1 -> F_2 and modifications is isomorphic to the category of finite-dimensional *-representations of the corresponding bi-Hopf-Galois object. We give a constructive classification of fibre functors accessible by a UPT from the canonical fibre functor, as well as UPTs themselves, in terms of Frobenius algebras in the category Rep(A_G), where A_G is the Hopf *-algebra dual to the compact quantum group. As an example, we show that finite-dimensional quantum isomorphisms from a quantum graph X are UPTs between fibre functors on Rep(G_X), where G_X is the quantum automorphism group of X.
Parallel transport of a connection in a smooth fibre bundle yields a functor from the path groupoid of the base manifold into a category that describes the fibres of the bundle. We characterize functors obtained like this by two notions we introduce: local trivializations and smooth descent data. This provides a way to substitute categories of functors for categories of smooth fibre bundles with connection. We indicate that this concept can be generalized to connections in categorified bundles, and how this generalization improves the understanding of higher dimensional parallel transport.
We use Kazhdan-Lusztig tensoring to, first, describe annihilating ideals of highest weight modules over an affine Lie algebra in terms of the corresponding VOA and, second, to classify tilting functors, an affine analogue of projective functors known in the case of a simple Lie algebra. For the sake of completeness, the classification of annihilating ideals is borrowed from our previous work, q-alg/9711011; the part on tilting functors is new.
We prove that a quasi-bialgebra admits a preantipode if and only if the associated free quasi-Hopf bimodule functor is Frobenius, if and only if the relative (opmonoidal) monad is a Hopf monad. The same results hold in particular for a bialgebra, tightening the connection between Hopf and Frobenius properties.
It is known that the Grothendieck group of the category of Schur functors is the ring of symmetric functions. This ring has a rich structure, much of which is encapsulated in the fact that it is a plethory: a monoid in the category of birings with its substitution monoidal structure. We show that similarly the category of Schur functors is a 2-plethory, which descends to give the plethory structure on symmetric functions. Thus, much of the structure of symmetric functions exists at a higher level in the category of Schur functors.
