The symmetry actions and dualizability conjectures for higher categories
The symmetry actions and dualizability conjectures for higher categories
Let be the category of categories, let denote an -category of higher categories, and let be its homotopy category. For -fold categories and dg-categories, consider the indicated enhancements of the inclusions into higher categories. Higher-categorical symmetry conjectures. The following explanations should hold: the opposite -groupoid gives the mirror of ; the generating trivial cofibration should represent the Higgs boson or Higgs symmetry; the action of on should explain -dualizable objects and the classification of TQFTs by fully dualizable objects; the analogous action for dg-categories should explain Tamarkin's proof of Deligne's conjecture and the action of -discs on Hochschild cohomology; and analogous enhancements should expose symmetries for manifolds and coefficient categories in algebraic geometry. These are speculative connections to higher-categorical formulations of mirror symmetry, TQFT, Higgs phenomena, and Deligne's conjecture, and the source gives no resolution.
