Giry algebras for standard measurable spaces

Category Theory 2022-08-09 v6

Abstract

The notion of "super convex spaces" generalizes the idea of convex spaces by replacing finite affine sums with countable affine sums. Using this notion permits a very elegant approach for analysis of the Giry monad on standard measurable spaces and identifying the G\mathcal{G}-algebras for that monad. We use Isbell duality and restrict the adjunction SpecO\mathbf{Spec} \dashv \mathcal{O} to a proper subcategory of super convex spaces and separated standard measurable spaces.
