Nevertheless, the exposition is sufficiently detailed to make it clear what is quantum version of a marginal probability distribution is a reduced density operator. www.paoloperrone.org/phdthesis.pdf This thesis takes inspiration from quantum physics to investigate mathematical structure that lies at the interface of algebra and statistics. Form the pure math point of view, this can be seen as the 1-dimensional first step into the theory of simplicial sets.

We give a construction which formalizes the idea of "evaluating an expression partially": for example, "2+3" can be obtained as a partial evaluation of "2+2+1". Another common theme in these notes is the relationship between categories and directed multigraphs, which is treated in detail. Every joint probability distribution on a finite set can be modeled as a rank one density operator. %���� It is hoped that this will be The parallels are not coincidental, and a common blueprint is found in category theory. This construction can be given for all monads on a concrete category, and it is linked to the famous bar construction, of. 10, 2005. to explicitly prove many standard results in our proposed string diagram based �����o8��/u� traditional proofs by diagram pasting retain the vital type information, but Reprint published on 2012-09-19, revised 2013-09-22 and 2020-04-15.

In terms of rewritings, partial evaluations give an abstract reduction system which is reflexive, confluent, and transitive whenever the monad is weakly cartesian. © 2008-2020 ResearchGate GmbH.

PROFESSOR OF PURE MATHEMATICS, UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY Received by the editors 2004-10-30. 1 First published as Basic Category Theory, Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics, Vol. There is no need to know advanced mathematics, nor any of the disciplines where category theory is traditionally applied, such as algebraic geometry or theoretical computer science. Other assets of these notes are: • Thorough explanation of the Yoneda lemma and its significance, with both intuitive All the documents are freely available in the arXiv. It is shown here that the basic structure is the same for both kinds of categories, and the topological structures of pointed sets (psychological categories), loop spaces and reduced suspensions (memory and learning), the wedge sum (the coproduct in a categorical dialectical pair expressing Riegel's Dialectical Psychology), and the smash product (succession of thoughts) have the nature of "trains of thought." ResearchGate has not been able to resolve any citations for this publication. In general, these reduced densities will have rank higher than one, and their eigenvalues and eigenvectors will contain extra information that encodes subsystem interactions governed by statistics. From the applied point of view, this shows why categorical thinking can help whenever some process is taking place on a graph. Theorems, interpretations and concrete examples are given for monads as well as for comonads. These higher level applications will not be discussed here. retain the type information whilst pursuing a calculational form of proof. %PDF-1.4 xڝVM��6���Qj���ͦ�M��9=82mXI�>Z��̐\ym9 D�3o�3?�Y�Yɋ�UsDz�>����2%�XK� Finally, initial inspiration for this thesis comes from formal concept analysis, which finds many striking parallels with the linear algebra.

This paper defines and proves the correctness of the appropriate string diagrams for various kinds of monoidal categories with duals. Part I discusses two competing perspectives by which one typically first encounters homotopy (co)limits: either as derived functors definable when the appropriate diagram categories admit a compatible model structure, or through particular formulae that give the right notion in certain examples. graphical techniques to many aspects of category theory. �5�|�}�����x��q�e%l��z_�a���1eaY ��B:�|�������7�pӎ` �e��2�~�Z�v6�`�~��y��σ�B���,�H�t���q��;Y0b��Np���b�c߭�i7UHw�xu�bt�\.�- IE?9��U)�njwTp����,za^��C��=�K0%.�l���g������q-E^.���=���9�w_{b*#��"�� ����O�J�P���ɫ-�S7���_.�E�Iɧ纊ůQT�hV�%�7dEB������iL��6���c�sB�A��1g����p��(�������*��Ua؋���ō� ����2Ⱦ�>�]��K�?���!Z���7Bq{�`�2�4TR�zn&85�1�U}&Ը����(��}x�qR+��dբn�5��;�?���!��SZ�KHo���qŷ+I�)c���8�5i.w��������:�p��p��LS��5Ԋq�N��"pw�u�D����k;N�k���m;�)T��NJP0 ��F�3&��I0�4��f�zL'L?���o���E@킛aGK.~D*��5聨4��+����M��U����qK��6�T��pR1�#T�kH����u �1����+2��7�Q�&�����d�4�}�L���u8��#��e �����R���.
