Extractions: Wesley Phoa Abstract: A topos is a categorical model of constructive set theory. In particular, the effective topos is the categorical `universe' of recursive mathematics. Among its objects are the modest sets , which form a set-theoretic model for polymorphism. More precisely, there is a fibration of modest sets which satisfies suitable categorical completeness properties, that make it a model for various polymorphic type theories. These lecture notes provide a reasonably thorough introduction to this body of material, aimed at theoretical computer scientists rather than topos theorists. Chapter 2 is an outline of the theory of fibrations, and sketches how they can be used to model various typed lambda-calculi. Chapter 3 is an exposition of some basic topos theory, and explains why a topos can be regarded as a model of set theory. Chapter 4 discusses the classical PER model for polymorphism, and shows how it `lives inside' a particular topos - the effective topos - as the category of modest sets. An appendix contains a full presentation of the internal language of a topos, and a map of the effective topos. Chapters 2 and 3 provide a sampler of categorical type theory and categorical logic, and should be of more general interest than Chapter 4. They can be read more or less independently of each other; a connection is made at the end of Chapter 3.

Extractions: 5 References Traditionally, mathematics is built on set theory , and all objects studied in mathematics are ultimately sets and functions . It has been argued that category theory could provide a better foundation for mathematics. By analyzing precisely which properties of the category of sets and functions are needed to express mathematics, one arrives at the definition of topoi, and one can then formulate mathematics inside any topos. Of course, the category of sets forms a topos, but that is boring. In more interesting topoi, the axiom of choice may no longer be valid, or the

http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/Categorical_logic

Extractions: Categorical logic is a branch of category theory within mathematics , adjacent to mathematical logic but in fact more notable for its connections to theoretical computer science . In broad terms, it is a theory about the transition from a type theory , understood to be within an intuitionistic logic or constructive mathematics setting, to a category , by means of a translation that respects both the syntax and the intended computational meaning of type-theoretic constructions. The subject has been recognisable in these terms since about 1970, when the needs of domain theory started to call on category theory. The earlier history is relatively complex, and contains some ironies. Categorical logic originated within sheaf theory , as a suitable version of Kripke semantics one can say with hindsight, and emerged as a theory with a character of its own only in shedding the necessary connection with sheaves. This can be traced in a number of stages, from 1960 onwards: the formulation of the Grothendieck topos , and then of the elementary topos , giving rise first to topos theory . Topos theory, as would now be understood, is the intuitionistic replacement for

Symbolic Logic 59 (1995) 11861193) PostScript or PDF We establish a course-of-values induction principle for K-finite sets in intuitionistic type theory. Using this principle, we prove a pigeonhole principle conjectured by Benabou and Loiseau. We also comment on some variants of this pigeonhole principle. Seven trees in one (J. Pure Appl. Alg. 103 (1995) 1-21) PostScript or PDF Following a remark of Lawvere, we explicitly exhibit a particularly elementary bijection between the set T of finite binary trees and the set T^7 of seven-tuples of such trees. "Particularly elementary" means that the application of the bijection to a seven-tuple of trees involves case distinctions only down to a fixed depth (namely four) in the given seven-tuple. We clarify how this and similar bijections are related to the free commutative semiring on one generator X subject to X=1+X^2. Finally, our main theorem is that the existence of particularly elementary bijections can be deduced from the provable existence, in intuitionistic type theory, of any bijections at all.

Full text available as: PDF - Requires a viewer, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or other PDF viewer. Any attempt to construct a realist interpretation of quantum theory founders on the Kochen-Specker theorem, which asserts the impossibility of assigning values to quantum quantities in a way that preserves functional relations between them. We construct a new type of valuation which is defined on all operators, and which respects an appropriate version of the functional composition principle. The truth-values assigned to propositions are (i) contextual; and (ii) multi-valued, where the space of contexts and the multi-valued logic for each context come naturally from the topos theory of presheaves. The first step in our theory is to demonstrate that the Kochen-Specker theorem is equivalent to the statement that a certain presheaf defined on the category of self-adjoint operators has no global elements. We then show how the use of ideas drawn from the theory of presheaves leads to the definition of a generalised valuation in quantum theory whose values are sieves of operators. In particular, we show how each quantum state leads to such a generalised valuation. A key ingredient throughout is the idea that, in a situation where no normal truth-value can be given to a proposition asserting that the value of a physical quantity A lies in a set D of real numbers , it is nevertheless possible to ascribe a partial truth-value which is determined by the set of all coarse-grained propositions that assert that some function f(A) lies in f(D), and that are true in a normal sense. The set of all such coarse-grainings forms a sieve on the category of self-adjoint operators, and is hence fundamentally related to the theory of presheave

http://www.math.uu.se/~palmgren/topos-eng.html

Extractions: A graduate course (6 course points) in mathematical logic. Topos theory grew out of the observation that the category of sheaves over a fixed topological space forms a universe of "continuously variable sets" which obeys the laws of intuitionistic logic. These sheaf models, or Grothendieck toposes, turn out to be generalisations of Kripke and Beth models (which are fundamental for various non-classical logics) as well as Cohen's forcing models for set theory. The notion of topos was subsequently extended and given an elementary axiomatisation by Lawvere and Tierney, and shown to correspond to a certain higher order intuitionistic logic. Various logics and type theories have been given categorical characterisations, which are of importance for the mathematical foundations for programming languages. One of the most interesting aspects of toposes is that they can provide natural models of certain theories that lack classical models, viz. synthetic differential geometry. This graduate course offers an introduction to topos theory and categorical logic. In particular the following topics will be covered: Categorical logic: relation between logics, type theories and categories. Generalised topologies, including formal topologies. Sheaves. Pretoposes and toposes. Beth-Kripke-Joyal semantics. Boolean toposes and Cohen forcing. Barr's theorem and Diaconescu covers. Geometric morphisms. Classifying toposes. Sheaf models of infinitesimal analysis.

Extractions: Department of Mathematics and Statistics, McGill University, Montreal, Canada In the work of Janelidze in 1990, a formal notion of covering morphism arises from an abstract categorical framework given by a pair of adjoint functors. Associated with any such class of covering morphisms, there is a corresponding (pure) Galois theory, of which there are examples in different areas of mathematics. In topos theory, the class of all covering projections (local homeomorphisms determined by a locally constant object of the topos) that appears explicitly in the work of Barr and Diaconescu in 1981, has been shown already by Janelidze to be an instance of the above notion of covering morphism, but only under the conditions that either the base topos be Set (that is, for Grothendieck toposes), or else where the splitting cover in the topos is assumed connected.
