We show that doubly degenerate Penon tricategories give symmetric rather than braided monoidal categories. We prove that Penon tricategories cannot give all tricategories, but we show that a slightly modified version of the definition rectifies the situation. We give the modified definition, using non-reflexive rather than reflexive globular sets, and show that the problem with doubly degenerate tricategories does not arise.

We make some beginning observations about the category $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}$ of equivalence relations on the set of natural numbers, where a morphism between two equivalence relations $R,S$ is a mapping from the set of $R$-equivalence classes to that of $S$-equivalence classes, which is induced by a computable function. We also consider some full subcategories of $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}$, such as the category $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}(Sigma^0_1)$ of computably enumerable equivalence relations (called ceers), the category $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}(Pi^0_1)$ of co-computably enumerable equivalence relations, and the category $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}(mathrm{Dark}^*)$ whose objects are the so-called dark ceers plus the ceers with finitely many equivalence classes. Although in all these categories the monomorphisms coincide with the injective morphisms, we show that in $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}(Sigma^0_1)$ the epimorphisms coincide with the onto morphisms, but in $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}(Pi^0_1)$ there are epimorphisms that are not onto. Moreover, $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}$, $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}(Sigma^0_1)$, and $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}(mathrm{Dark}^*)$ are closed under finite products, binary coproducts, and coequalizers, but we give an example of two morphisms in $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}(Pi^0_1)$ whose coequalizer in $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}$ is not an object of $mathbb{E}mathrm{q}(Pi^0_1)$.
In The factorization of the Giry monad (arXiv:1707.00488v2) the author asserts that the category of convex spaces is equivalent to the category of Eilenberg-Moore algebras over the Giry monad. Some of the statements employed in the proof of this claim have been refuted in our earlier paper (arXiv:1803.07956). Building on the results of that paper we prove that no such equivalence exists and a parallel statement is proved for the category of super convex spaces.
For a category $mathbb{C}$, a small category $mathbb{I}$, and a pre-cover relation $sqsubset$ on $mathbb C$ we prove, under certain completeness assumptions on $mathbb C$, that a morphism $g: Bto C$ in the functor category $mathbb {C}^{mathbb I}$ admits an image with respect to the pre-cover relation on $mathbb C^{mathbb I}$ induced by $sqsubset$ as soon as each component of $g$ admits an image with respect to $sqsubset$. We then apply this to show that if a pointed category $mathbb{C}$ is: (i) algebraically cartesian closed; (ii) exact protomodular and action accessible; or (iii) admits normalizers, then the same is true of each functor category $mathbb{C}^{mathbb I}$ with $mathbb{I}$ finite. In addition, our results give explicit constructions of images in functor categories using limits and images in the underlying category. In particular, they can be used to give explicit constructions of both centralizers and normalizers in functor categories using limits and centralizers or normalizers (respectively) in the underlying category.
We generalise the construction of the Lie algebroid of a Lie groupoid so that it can be carried out in any tangent category. First we reconstruct the bijection between left invariant vector fields and source constant tangent vectors based at an identity element for a groupoid in a category equipped with an endofunctor that has a retraction onto the identity functor. Second we use the full structure of a tangent category to construct the algebroid of a groupoid. Finally we show how the classical result concerning the splitting of the tangent bundle of a Lie group can be carried out for any pregroupoid.
In this paper, which is subsequent to our previous paper [PS] (but can be read independently from it), we continue our study of the closed model structure on the category $mathrm{Cat}_{mathrm{dgwu}}(Bbbk)$ of small weakly unital dg categories (in the sense of Kontsevich-Soibelman [KS]) over a field $Bbbk$. In [PS], we constructed a closed model structure on the category of weakly unital dg categories, imposing a technical condition on the weakly unital dg categories, saying that $mathrm{id}_xcdot mathrm{id}_x=mathrm{id}_x$ for any object $x$. Although this condition led us to a great simplification, it was redundant and had to be dropped. Here we get rid of this condition, and provide a closed model structure in full generality. The new closed model category is as well cofibrantly generated, and it is proven to be Quillen equivalent to the closed model category $mathrm{Cat}_mathrm{dg}(Bbbk)$ of (strictly unital) dg categories over $Bbbk$, given by Tabuada [Tab1]. Dropping the condition $mathrm{id}_x^2=mathrm{id}_x$ makes the construction of the closed model structure more distant from loc.cit., and requires new constructions. One of them is a pre-triangulated hull of a wu dg category, which in turn is shown to be a wu dg category as well. One example of a weakly unital dg category which naturally appears is the bar-cobar resolution of a dg category. We supply this paper with a refinement of the classical bar-cobar resolution of a unital dg category which is strictly unital (appendix B). A similar construction can be applied to constructing a cofibrant resolution in $mathrm{Cat}_mathrm{dgwu}(Bbbk)$.
