Relational presheaves generalize traditional presheaves by going to the category of sets and relations (as opposed to sets and functions) and by allowing functors which are lax. This added generality is useful because it intuitively allows…
Given a Lagrangian cobordism $L$ of Legendrian submanifolds from $\Lambda_-$ to $\Lambda_+$, we construct a functor $\Phi_L^*: Sh^c_{\Lambda_+}(M) \rightarrow Sh^c_{\Lambda_-}(M) \otimes_{C_{-*}(\Omega_*\Lambda_-)} C_{-*}(\Omega_*L)$…
We identify morphisms of strong profunctors as a categorification of quantum supermaps. These black-box generalisations of diagrams-with-holes are hence placed within the broader field of profunctor optics, as morphisms in the category of…
Topos theory is a category-theoretic axiomatization of set theory. Model categories are a category-theoretical framework for abstract homotopy theory. They are complete and cocomplete categories endowed with three classes of morphisms…
We introduce a general definition of hybrid transforms for constructible functions. These are integral transforms combining Lebesgue integration and Euler calculus. Lebesgue integration gives access to well-studied kernels and to regularity…
In the framework of Category Theory, we study the association between finite--dimensional representations of a compact quantum group and quantum vector bundles with linear connections for a given quantum principal bundle with a principal…
This is the first part of our work on Zariski decomposition structures, where we study Zariski decompositions using Legendre-Fenchel type transforms. In this way we define a Zariski decomposition for curve classes. This decomposition…
We introduce and study new transformations between two functions satisfying some basic growth properties and generalize the known lower and upper Legendre conjugate (or envelope). We also investigate how these transformations modify…
The Bessel function of the first kind $J_{N}\left(kx\right)$ is expanded in a Fourier-Legendre series, as is the modified Bessel functions of the first kind $I_{N}\left(kx\right)$. The purpose of these expansions in Legendre polynomials was…
This is an introductory level review of recent applications of resurgent trans-series and Picard-Lefschetz theory to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Resurgence connects local perturbative data with global topological structure.…
We study Translation functors and Wall-Crossing functors on infinite dimensional representations of a complex semisimple Lie algebra using D-modules. This functorial machinery is then used to prove the Endomorphism-theorem and the…
This is the first of a pair of papers where we construct and investigate a closed monoidal structure on the category of generalized algebraic theories (in the sense of Cartmell). In the present text, as a starting point, we define the…
We investigate and solve a special class of integrals involving associated Legendre functions, which can be regarded as generalized Mehler-Fock transformations. Some of the integrals appear naturally when dealing with the heat or resolvent…
Optics are bidirectional accessors of data structures; they provide a powerful abstraction of many common data transformations. This abstraction is compositional thanks to a representation in terms of profunctors endowed with an algebraic…
In this paper we construct a q-analogue of the Legendre transformation, where q is a matrix of formal variables defining the phase space braidings between the coordinates and momenta (the extensive and intensive thermodynamic observables).…
We present a unified categorical framework that connects the syntactic Henkin construction for the first-order Completeness Theorem with Lawvere's Fixed-Point Theorem. Concretely, we define two canonical functors from the category of…
We describe a type system for the linear-algebraic $\lambda$-calculus. The type system accounts for the linear-algebraic aspects of this extension of $\lambda$-calculus: it is able to statically describe the linear combinations of terms…
We introduce a simple extension of the $\lambda$-calculus with pairs---called the distributive $\lambda$-calculus---obtained by adding a computational interpretation of the valid distributivity isomorphism $A \Rightarrow (B\wedge C)\ \…
It is an important feature of our existing physical theories that observables generate one-parameter groups of transformations. In classical Hamiltonian mechanics and quantum mechanics, this is due to the fact that the observables form a…
Guided by consideration of problems in 2 and 3 dimensional lattice model computation, we are led to define a number of new categories, and functors between these categories and the partition category, culminating in the introduction of two…
