We prove a bicategorical analogue of Quillens Theorem A. As an application, we deduce the well-known result that a pseudofunctor is a biequivalence if and only if it is essentially surjective on objects, essentially full on 1-cells, and fully faithful on 2-cells.

In this paper we show that the strict and lax pullbacks of a 2-categorical opfibration along an arbitrary 2-functor are homotopy equivalent. We give two applications. First, we show that the strict fibers of an opfibration model the homotopy fibers. This is a version of Quillens Theorem B amenable to applications. Second, we compute the $E^2$ page of a homology spectral sequence associated to an opfibration and apply this machinery to a 2-categorical construction of $S^{-1}S$. We show that if $S$ is a symmetric monoidal 2-groupoid with faithful translations then $S^{-1}S$ models the group completion of $S$.
We describe a category of undirected graphs which comes equipped with a faithful functor into the category of (colored) modular operads. The associated singular functor from modular operads to presheaves is fully faithful, and its essential image can be classified by a Segal condition. This theorem can be used to recover a related statement, due to Andre Joyal and Joachim Kock, concerning a larger category of undirected graphs whose functor to modular operads is not just faithful but also full.
This paper proves three different coherence theorems for symmetric monoidal bicategories. First, we show that in a free symmetric monoidal bicategory every diagram of 2-cells commutes. Second, we show that this implies that the free symmetric monoida l bicategory on one object is equivalent, as a symmetric monoidal bicategory, to the discrete symmetric monoidal bicategory given by the disjoint union of the symmetric groups. Third, we show that every symmetric monoidal bicategory is equivalent to a strict one. We give two topological applications of these coherence results. First, we show that the classifying space of a symmetric monoidal bicategory can be equipped with an E_{infty} structure. Second, we show that the fundamental 2-groupoid of an E_n space, n geq 4, has a symmetric monoidal structure. These calculations also show that the fundamental 2-groupoid of an E_3 space has a sylleptic monoidal structure.

We combine Homotopy Type Theory with axiomatic cohesion, expressing the latter internally with a version of adjoint logic in which the discretization and codiscretization modalities are characterized using a judgmental formalism of crisp variables. T his yields type theories that we call spatial and cohesive, in which the types can be viewed as having independent topological and homotopical structure. These type theories can then be used to study formally the process by which topology gives rise to homotopy theory (the fundamental $infty$-groupoid or shape), disentangling the identifications of Homotopy Type Theory from the continuous paths of topology. In a further refinement called real-cohesion, the shape is determined by continuous maps from the real numbers, as in classical algebraic topology. This enables us to reproduce formally some of the classical applications of homotopy theory to topology. As an example, we prove Brouwers fixed-point theorem.
A classification theorem for three different sorts of Maltsev categories is proven. The theorem provides a classification for Maltsev category, naturally Maltsev category, and weakly Maltsev category in terms of classifying classes of spans. The clas s of all spans characterizes naturally Maltsev categories. The class of relations (i.e. jointly monomorphic spans) characterizes Maltsev categories. The class of strong relations (i.e. jointly strongly monomorphic spans) characterizes weakly Maltsev categories. The result is based on the uniqueness of internal categorical structures such as internal category and internal groupoid (Lawvere condition). The uniqueness of these structures is viewed as a property on their underlying reflexive graphs, restricted to the classifying spans. The class of classifying spans is combined, via a new compatibility condition, with split squares. This is analogous to orthogonality between spans and cospans. The result is a general classifying scheme which covers the main characterizations for Maltsev like categories. The class of positive relations has recently been shown to characterize Goursat categories and hence it is a new example that fits in this general scheme.
