Questions of set-theoretic size play an essential role in category theory,
especially the distinction between sets and proper classes (or small sets and
large sets). There are many different ways to f
In mathematical applications, category theory remains a contentious issue,
with enthusiastic fans and a skeptical majority. In a muted form this split
applies to the authors of this note. When we lear
This short introduction to category theory is for readers with relatively little mathematical background. At its heart is the concept of a universal property, important throughout mathematics. After a
We introduce a categorical language in which it is possible to talk about DNA
sequencing, alignment methods, CRISPR, homologous recombination, haplotypes,
and genetic linkage. This language takes the
We give a definition for univalent morphisms in finitely complete that generalizes the aforementioned definitions and completely focuses on the aspects, characterizing it via representability of certain functors, which should remind the reader of concepts such as adjunctions or limits.
We then prove that in a locally cartesian closed (that is not necessarily presentable) univalence of a morphism is equivalent to the completeness of a certain segal object we construct out of the morphism, characterizing univalence via internal which had been considered in a strict setting by stenzel.
This paper examines the category theory of stratified set theory (NF and KF).
We work out the properties of the relevant categories of sets, and introduce a
functorial analogue to Specker's T-operatio
We present a new, category theoretic point of view on finite ramsey theory.
Our aims are as follows: (1) to define the category theoretic notions needed for the development of finite ramsey theory, (2) to state, in terms of these category theoretic notions, the general fundamental fundamental ramsey results (of which various concreteramsey results are special cases), and (3) to give self-contained proofs within the category theoretic framework of these general results.
There exists a dispute in philosophy, going back at least to Leibniz, whether
is it possible to view the world as a network of relations and relations
between relations with the role of objects, betwe
Applied Category Theory is a new conference series. All papers are carefully
refereed, and the bar for acceptance is high. This 1st occurrence in this
format resulted in some 70 submitted papers and 1
In this short expository note, we discuss, with plenty of examples, the
bestiary of fibrations in quasicategory theory. We underscore the simplicity
and clarity of the constructions these fibrations m
1. This paper shows how the universals of category theory in mathematics
provide a model (in the Platonic Heaven of mathematics) for the
self-predicative strand of Plato's Theory of Forms as well as f
We present a formalization of category theory for the future version of the agda standard library, in particular so that the library integrates well with the standard library of agda, as well as supporting as many of the modes of agdaas possible.
The formalization revealed a number of potential design choices, and we present, motivate and explain the ones we picked.
Category theory is a powerful tool for modeling phenomena and communicating results.
Monoids are framed in terms of agents acting on objects, sheaves are introduced with primary examples coming from geography, and colored operads are discussedin terms of their ability to model self-similarity.
We use the terms "$\infty$-categories" and "$\infty$-functors" to mean the
objects and morphisms in an "$\infty$-cosmos." Quasi-categories, Segal
categories, complete Segal spaces, naturally marked si
In work of Fokkinga and Meertens a calculational approach to category theory
is developed. The scheme has many merits, but sacrifices useful type
information in the move to an equational style of reas
Lawvere's axiomatization of topos theory and Voevodsky's axiomatization of
heigher homotopy theory exemplify a new way of axiomatic theory building, which
goes beyond the classical Hibert-style Axioma
Machine learning has permeated almost every realm of technology.
At the same time, many researchers have begun using category theory as a unifying language, facilitating communication between different scientific disciplines.
This is a collection of introductory, expository notes on applied category
theory, inspired by the 2018 Applied Category Theory Workshop, and in these
notes we take a leisurely stroll through two them
An $\infty$-cosmos is a setting in which to develop the formal category
theory of $(\infty,1)$-categories. In this paper, we explore a few atypical
examples of $\infty$-cosmoi whose objects are 2-cate
