Actions of monoidal categories on categories, also known as actegories, have been familiar to category theorists for a long time, and yet a comprehensive overview of this topic seems to be missing from the literature. Recently, actegories have been increasingly employed in applied category theory, thereby encouraging an effort to fill this gap according to the new needs of these applications. This work started as an investigation of the notion of monoidal actegory, a compatible pair of monoidal and actegorical structures, and ended up including a sizable reference on the elementary theory of actegories. We cover basic definitions and results on actegories and biactegories, spelling out explicitly many folkloric definitions, including their tensor product and their hom-tensor adjunction. We give new definitions of actegories with monoidal, braided monoidal and symmetric monoidal structure. In the last section, we provide three Cayley-like classification results for these structures.

  1. The compact double category $\mathbf{Int}(\mathbf{Poly}_*)$ models control flow and data transformations

    math.CT 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Poly_* is uniform traced, so Int(Poly_*) is a compact double category whose wiring-diagram operad models control flow together with data transformations.

  2. Logical relations for call-by-push-value models, via internal fibrations in a 2-category

    cs.LO 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 2-categorical fibrational framework gives a uniform notion of logical relations for CBPV models, with a pullback theorem that constructs new relational models from old ones.
