Testi di riferimento con recensioni e collocazione presso il CSBMI ed altri CSB Barr, Michael; Wells, Charles Category theory for computing science. Prentice Hall International Series in Computer Science. Prentice Hall International, New York, ISBN Collocazione MAT 68-1995-095, MAT 18-1990-08 The present volume contains an exposition of some of the central topics of category theory, adapted mainly to the interests of researchers and students in computing science. The appearance of a book of this kind is now fully motivated by the increasing use of categorical ideas and constructions in computing science, in particular in the modeling of linguistic and computational phenomena. One important feature of this work is the systematic use by the authors of C. Ehresmann's concept of a sketch as a formal abstract specification of a mathematical structure. Each section of the text contains a set of exercises that complement the exposition by providing further examples and results. Detailed solutions to all the exercises are collected in a large appendix following the main text. The authors have succeeded in producing a book which is original in its contents and exposition, and accessible to a broad public of readers. People specializing in theoretical computing science will find here a solid category-theoretic foundation; while those interested mainly in category and topos theory could use it as an introduction to the authors' earlier, more specialized monograph [Toposes, triples and theories, Springer, New York, 1985; MR 86f:18001].

65. SubjectOverview A topos is a category that is good enough for set theory. The results of topos theory (as in any theory) hinge on the interaction of objects and http://mcs.open.ac.uk/cft36/SubjectOverview.htm

Subject Overview (Mathematical Research) For a less technical description of the work please read the essay: From Topology, Logic and Category to the Geometric Mathematical Framework: Research Explained Subject Background: Locales The Tychonoff theorem states that an arbitrary product of compact topological spaces is compact. My understanding is that the proof of a Tychonoff theorem without the axiom of choice by Johnstone in 1981 does not appear to have caused a huge response (certainly amongst mathematicians outside the confines of the study of the foundations). Apart from the complicated set-theoretic ordinal induction in the proof (later removed using techniques described below) one of the reasons for this lack of interest, I speculate, is the fact that most topologists would have dismissed the result as absurd. This is for the good reason that the Tychonoff result is well known to imply the axiom of choice and so how can one have a proof without choice? Of course Johnstone (and many before him, possibly back to Wallman 1938) was modelling spaces using locales (that is using complete Heyting algebras) and so had tampered sufficiently with the definition of a topological space to allow the result to go through without a choice axiom. Whether this is a 'good thing to do' really remains open to a certain extent. The logician's opening gambit could be that, yes, it is a good thing to do since it allows the development of a theory of spaces that is dependent on less axioms than the one proceeding it and so is, in an absolute sense, better. On the other hand we must satisfy ourselves that locales are capturing the correct notion of a space. This is a harder question since it is not precise. Locales are not a bad framework since a number of topological results have intuitively clear localic versions (e.g. Stone-Cech compactification) that reproduce the topological versions in the presence of the prime ideal theorem.

References Introductory A very good introductory reference for locale theory is Peter Johnstone's account: Johnstone, P.T. Stone Spaces . Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics . Cambridge University Press, 1982. This book is remarkable as it exposes the story of the subject while at the same time containing all the required proofs in detail. As for topos theory there is, Johnstone, P.T. Sketches of an Elephant: a Topos Theory Compendium . Oxford Univ. Press, to appear, 2002, which I have not yet fully reviewed but am confident will provide an excellent and rigorous introduction to the subject. The standard reference for category theory, MacLane, S. Categories for the Working Mathematician. Texts in Mathematics . Springer-Verlag, 1971, which you may see referred to as CWM, is still probably the best introductory account for category theory. This subject is now quite standard and so a number of texts are available. A good check as to whether a particular text really 'goes the distance' is to see whether an adjoint functor theorem (not just definition) is included. Key Papers A number of papers stand out in the literature as being of particular importance to our area of research.

MICHAEL BARR, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec H3A 2K6 Absolute homology Call two maps, f g C C , of chain complexes absolutely homologous if for any additive functor F , the induced Ff and Fg are homologous (induce the same map on homology). It is known that the identity is absolutely homologous to iff it is homotopic to and tempting to conjecture that f and g are absolutely homologous iff they are homotopic. This conjecture is false, but there is an equational characterization of absolute homology. I also characterize left absolute and right absolute (in which F is quantified over left or right exact functors). RICK BLUTE, University of Ottawa, Ottawa Constructing *-autonomous categories We begin by considering a new example of a *-autonomous category due to T. Ehrhard, called the category of ``finiteness spaces''. This is at once a generalization of the category of sets and relations, and the category of coherence spaces. One essentially adds a notion of orthogonality to the usual category of sets and relations, and only considers morphisms respecting that orthogonality. The resulting category carries the full structure of a Seely model. This idea of adding a notion of orthogonality to monoidal categories seems quite general, and should lead to a number of new models of linear logic. We consider several notions of such orthogonality, including one applied to a category of formal distributions, first defined by the author and P. Panangaden.

The aim of this presentation is to give an outline of an extension theory for Hopf algebras. Extensions are characterized by certain types of exact sequences. Every extension is associated with a "so-called" abelian matched pair of Hopf algebras, and isomorphic extensions belong to the same matched pair. The set of isomorphism classes of extensions belonging to the same abelian matched pair carries a Baer-type abelian group structure, and is isomorphic to to the second cohomology group of that matched pair. This isomorphism makes it possible to represent equivalence classes of extensions by bicross products of abelian matched pairs. A couple of examples will illustrate the results.

(= foundations of mathematics). I started the discussion by asking about real analysis in topos theory. McLarty claimed that there is no problem about this. After a lot of back and forth, it turned out that the basis of McLarty's claim is that the topos axioms plus two additional axioms give a theory that is easily intertranslatable with Zermelo set theory with bounded comprehension and choice. No, not at all. The basis of my claim was that you can do real analysis in any topos with a natural number object. In that generality the results are far weaker than in ZF (even without the axiom of choice)and allow many variant extensions with various uses. If you want to copy the ZFC case pretty nearly (so closely that only a logican could tell the difference) then you will want a topos with numbers and choice. To copy the ZFC case exactly you want a topos with numbers, choice, and replacement. Now some people will say "See, topos foundations just copy set theory!". A more apt conclusion would be "If you ask for copies of set theory, then yestopos foundations can give them". >

Peter Johnstone, Open/compact duality in topos theory Abstract: It is well known that, whilst the closed subsets of a topological space may be regarded as the formal duals of its open subsets, when one considers continuous mappings between spaces the correct dual of the class of open maps is (not the class of closed maps, but) the class of `relatively compact maps', commonly known as proper maps. In the late 1940's Alfred Tarski, in collaboration with J.C.C. McKinsey, showed that much of general topology could be reduced to algebra by the use of a notion of `formal space' based on lattices of closed sets; this was an important forerunner of the modern theory of locales (or frames), although workers in locale theory traditionally take open-set lattices as the primitive notion. In 1994, Japie Vermeulen in a ground-breaking paper `rediscovered the closed-set lattices', and showed that one could use them as the basis for a completely formal duality between open and proper maps of locales, whereby results proved for one class could be easily translated into results about the other. More recently, Vermeulen

Mazzola, Guerino Noll, Thomas / Lluis-Puebla, Emilio : Perspectives in Mathematical and Computational Music Theory The Denotator: Its Structure, Construction, and Role in Mathematical Music Theory Mariana Montiel UNH,Durham,NH mmontiel cisunix.unh.edu Abstract The article is based on Mazzola ), and develops the aspect of Mathematical Music Theory (MMT) known as Local Theory, in which category and topos theory are the fundamental tools. Constructions used Morphisms of Local Compositions, a special type of denotator, are also defined, giving way to the category of Local Compositions.Some results are established. There are examples of applications to MMT. The denotator Tr is presented; its form Pianoscore , is an example with all typologies: Limits, Colimits, Synonymy, etc. This shows that overall comparative analysis of musical works transcends the theory of Local Compositions, and that category theory for general denotators is an open question.
