[HTML][HTML] A synthetic approach to Markov kernels, conditional independence and theorems on sufficient statistics

T Fritz - Advances in Mathematics, 2020 - Elsevier
We develop Markov categories as a framework for synthetic probability and statistics,
following work of Golubtsov as well as Cho and Jacobs. This means that we treat the …

[图书][B] An invitation to applied category theory: seven sketches in compositionality

B Fong, DI Spivak - 2019 - books.google.com
Category theory is unmatched in its ability to organize and layer abstractions and to find
commonalities between structures of all sorts. No longer the exclusive preserve of pure …

Polynomial functors and polynomial monads

N Gambino, J Kock - Mathematical proceedings of the cambridge …, 2013 - cambridge.org
We study polynomial functors over locally cartesian closed categories. After setting up the
basic theory, we show how polynomial functors assemble into a double category, in fact a …

Seven sketches in compositionality: An invitation to applied category theory

B Fong, DI Spivak - arXiv preprint arXiv:1803.05316, 2018 - arxiv.org
This book is an invitation to discover advanced topics in category theory through concrete,
real-world examples. It aims to give a tour: a gentle, quick introduction to guide later …

Linear dependent type theory for quantum programming languages

P Fu, K Kishida, P Selinger - Proceedings of the 35th Annual ACM/IEEE …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
Modern quantum programming languages integrate quantum resources and classical
control. They must, on the one hand, be linearly typed to reflect the no-cloning property of …

Connections on non-abelian gerbes and their holonomy

U Schreiber, K Waldorf - arXiv preprint arXiv:0808.1923, 2008 - arxiv.org
We introduce an axiomatic framework for the parallel transport of connections on gerbes. It
incorporates parallel transport along curves and along surfaces, and is formulated in terms …

A unified framework for generalized multicategories

GSH Cruttwell, MA Shulman - arXiv preprint arXiv:0907.2460, 2009 - arxiv.org
Notions of generalized multicategory have been defined in numerous contexts throughout
the literature, and include such diverse examples as symmetric multicategories, globular …

Structured cospans

JC Baez, K Courser - arXiv preprint arXiv:1911.04630, 2019 - arxiv.org
One goal of applied category theory is to better understand networks appearing throughout
science and engineering. Here we introduce" structured cospans" as a way to study …

Monoidal grothendieck construction

J Moeller, C Vasilakopoulou - arXiv preprint arXiv:1809.00727, 2018 - arxiv.org
We lift the standard equivalence between fibrations and indexed categories to an
equivalence between monoidal fibrations and monoidal indexed categories, namely weak …

Constructing symmetric monoidal bicategories

MA Shulman - arXiv preprint arXiv:1004.0993, 2010 - arxiv.org
We present a method of constructing symmetric monoidal bicategories from symmetric
monoidal double categories that satisfy a lifting condition. Such symmetric monoidal double …
