We show that the comma category $(mathcal{F}downarrowmathbf{Grp})$ of groups under the free group functor $mathcal{F}: mathbf{Set} to mathbf{Grp}$ contains the category $mathbf{Gph}$ of simple graphs as a full coreflective subcategory. More broadly, we generalize the embedding of topological spaces into Steven Vickers category of topological systems to a simple technique for embedding certain categories into comma categories, then show as a straightforward application that simple graphs are coreflective in $(mathcal{F}downarrowmathbf{Grp})$.

We study track categories (i.e., groupoid-enriched categories) endowed with additive structure similar to that of a 1-truncated DG-category, except that composition is not assumed right linear. We show that if such a track category is right linear up to suitably coherent correction tracks, then it is weakly equivalent to a 1-truncated DG-category. This generalizes work of the first author on the strictification of secondary cohomology operations. As an application, we show that the secondary integral Steenrod algebra is strictifiable.
We provide axioms that guarantee a category is equivalent to that of continuous linear functions between Hilbert spaces. The axioms are purely categorical and do not presuppose any analytical structure. This addresses a question about the mathematical foundations of quantum theory raised in reconstruction programmes such as those of von Neumann, Mackey, Jauch, Piron, Abramsky, and Coecke.
When $mathbb C$ is a semi-abelian category, it is well known that the category $mathsf{Grpd}(mathbb C)$ of internal groupoids in $mathbb C$ is again semi-abelian. The problem of determining whether the same kind of phenomenon occurs when the property of being semi-abelian is replaced by the one of being action representable (in the sense of Borceux, Janelidze and Kelly) turns out to be rather subtle. In the present article we give a sufficient condition for this to be true: in fact we prove that the category $mathsf{Grpd}(mathbb C)$ is a semi-abelian action representable algebraically coherent category with normalizers if and only if $mathbb C$ is a semi-abelian action representable algebraically coherent category with normalizers. This result applies in particular to the categories of internal groupoids in the categories of groups, Lie algebras and cocommutative Hopf algebras, for instance.
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.
This paper is an attempt to solve the following problem: given a logic, how to turn it into a paraconsistent one? In other words, given a logic in which emph{ex falso quodlibet} holds, how to convert it into a logic not satisfying this principle? We use a framework provided by category theory in order to define a category of consequence structures. Then, we propose a functor to transform a logic not able to deal with contradictions into a paraconsistent one. Moreover, we study the case of paraconsistentization of propositional classical logic.
