Extends Khovanov bracket to link cobordisms, proving functoriality up to scalars.

problem Proving functoriality of Khovanov homology under link cobordisms.
method Extending generalized Khovanov bracket to smooth link cobordisms in R^3×I and proving functoriality up to global invertible scalars.
result Generalized Khovanov bracket is functorial up to global invertible scalars.

Lie algebroids are by no means natural as an infinitesimal counterpart of groupoids. In this paper we propose a functorial construction called Nishimura algebroids for an infinitesimal counterpart of groupoids. Nishimura algebroids, intended for differential geometry, are of the same vein as Lawvere's functorial notion…

We prove that Morrison and Nieh's categorification of the su(3) quantum knot invariant is functorial with respect to tangle cobordisms. This is in contrast to the categorified su(2) theory, which was not functorial as originally defined. We use methods of Bar-Natan to construct explicit chain maps for each variation of…

Functorial semi-norms on singular homology give refined "size" information on singular homology classes. A fundamental example is the l^1-semi-norm. We show that there exist finite functorial semi-norms on singular homology that are exotic in the sense that they are not carried by the l^1-semi-norm.

Functorial compactification of vector spaces defined as manifolds with corners.

problem Compactification of vector spaces functorial under linear maps.
method Definition of manifolds with corners and b-maps, application of iterated blow-up theory.
result Criterion for lifted maps to be b-fibrations, identification of restrictions to boundary hypersurfaces.

A functorial semi-norm on singular homology is a collection of semi-norms on the singular homology groups of spaces such that continuous maps between spaces induce norm-decreasing maps in homology. Functorial semi-norms can be used to give constraints on the possible mapping degrees of maps between oriented manifolds. …

Alternative proof of Khovanov's up-to-sign functoriality for odd Khovanov homology.

problem Functoriality of Khovanov's odd Khovanov homology.
method Extending Hochschild (co)homology to quasi-associative algebras and applying it to Khovanov's homology.
result First proof of functoriality of Naisse and Putyra's tangle theory up to unit.

In~\cite{rotvandervorst} a homology theory --Morse-Conley-Floer homology-- for isolated invariant sets of arbitrary flows on finite dimensional manifolds is developed. In this paper we investigate functoriality and duality of this homology theory. As a preliminary we investigate functoriality in Morse homology. Functor…

This work draws inspiration from three important sources of research on dissimilarity-based clustering and intertwines those three threads into a consistent principled functorial theory of clustering. Those three are the overlapping clustering of Jardine and Sibson, the functorial approach of Carlsson and Mémoli to par…

The paper defines a category of Lagrangian correspondences in super Hilbert spaces and constructs a functorial field theory.

problem Understanding composition of Lagrangian correspondences in Hilbert spaces.
method Study of Lagrangian correspondences, construction of a category, and functorial field theory.
result Well-defined composition law in a category of Lagrangian correspondences.

In this paper, we define the equivariant eta form of Bismut-Cheeger for a compact Lie group and establish a formula about the functoriality of equivariant eta forms with respect to the composition of two submersions.

We disprove the conjecture of M. Khovanov (math.QA/9908171) on the functoriality of his link homology with polynomial coefficients. This is in contrast to the case of integer coefficients, where functoriality was proved in math.GT/0206303 .

problem Challenges in globally hyperbolic Lorentzian bordisms and their impact on field theories.
method Introduces a new concept of bordisms and pseudo-operads to address challenges, defining FQFTs as pseudo-multifunctors.
result Equivalence theorem between globally hyperbolic Lorentzian FQFTs and AQFTs.

Functorial maps and weak parities are equivalent descriptions of rules of substitution virtual crossings for classical in diagrams of a knot in a way compatible with Reidemeister moves. We introduce the notion of maximal weak parity and describe it for knots in a given closed oriented surface. This weak parity defines …

We discuss two kinds of functorial prolongations of the functional bundle of all smooth maps between the fibers over the same base point of two fibered manifolds over the same base. We study the prolongation of vector fields in both cases and we prove that the bracket is preserved. Our proof is based on several new res…

A homological invariant of 3-manifolds is defined, using abelian Yang-Mills gauge theory. It is shown that the construction, in an appropriate sense, is functorial with respect to the families of 4-dimensional cobordisms. This construction and its functoriality are used to define several link invariants. The strongest …
