Convolution Products on Double Categories and Categorification of Rule Algebras

LIPIcs-FSCD-2023-17.pdf (2 MB)

Abstract

Motivated by compositional categorical rewriting theory, we introduce a convolution product over presheaves of double categories which generalizes the usual Day tensor product of presheaves of monoidal categories. One interesting aspect of the construction is that this convolution product is in general only oplax associative. For that reason, we identify several classes of double categories for which the convolution product is not just oplax associative, but fully associative. This includes in particular framed bicategories on the one hand, and double categories of compositional rewriting theories on the other. For the latter, we establish a formula which justifies the view that the convolution product categorifies the rule algebra product.
