News:
2009-08-23: I have posted some photos—mostly people—from the Category Theory Workshop in Santa Marta, Colombia.
2009-08-19: A short paper with André Joyal, Feynman graphs, and nerve theorem for compact symmetric multicategories (extended abstract), corresponding to my conference talks in Pisa, Oxford, and Luminy, is now available (also from the arXiv). A more detailed account of this theory will follow.
2009-08-06: Substantial revision of my messy manuscript Notes on polynomial functors
(420pp. -- still just a heap of annotations.) Comments are very welcome.
2009-07-27: My paper Coherence for weak units with André Joyal is finally available. (It is a companion paper to our paper Weak units and homotopy 3-types, and we ought to have finished it four years ago.) Comments are very welcome.
2007-06-07: My paper Polynomial functors and polynomial monads with Nicola Gambino is finally available. Comments are very welcome.
