We propose a type-theoretic framework for describing and proving properties of quantum computations, in particular those presented as quantum circuits. Our proposal is based on an observation that, in the polymorphic type system of Coq,…

Local quantum fields in 1+1 dimensions can have bounded field operators. The class of such fields which in addition obey Huygens' principle (time-like commutativity) and conformal covariance, is completely determined.

We compare two possible ways of defining a category of 1-combs, the first intensionally as coend optics and the second extensionally as a quotient by the operational behaviour of 1-combs on lower-order maps. We show that there is a full and…

Tangent categories offer a categorical context for differential geometry, by categorifying geometric notions like the tangent bundle functor, vector fields, Euclidean spaces, vector bundles, connections, etc. In the last decade, the theory…

Coupling separately developed codes offers an attractive method for increasing the accuracy and fidelity of the computational models. Examples include the earth sciences and fusion integrated modeling. This paper describes the Framework…

Assume $k$ is a field and let $F:C\rightarrow Vect_{k}$ be a small $k$-linear functor from a $k$-linear abelian category $C$ to the category of vector spaces over the field $k$, the purpose of this note is to use a little knowledge of…

In order to classify concordance classes of codimension 2 embeddings in a manifold M, we need to determine the complement of such an embedding. These complements are spaces over M well defined up to some homology equivalence. We construct a…

We discuss finite local extensions of quantum field theories in low space time dimensions in connection with categorical structures and the question of modular invariants in conformal field theory, also touching upon purely mathematical…

We generalize the notion of ends and coends in category theory to the realm of module categories over finite tensor categories. We call this new concept "module (co)end". This tool allows us to give different proofs to several known results…

We introduce a series of quantities which characterizes a given local operator in conformal field theories from the viewpoint of quantum entanglement. It is defined by the increased amount of (Renyi) entanglement entropy at late time for an…

We discuss a class of regions and conformal mappings which are useful in several problems of approximation theory, harmonic analysis and spectral theory.

It has been discussed earlier that ( weak quasi-) quantum groups allow for conventional interpretation as internal symmetries in local quantum theory. From general arguments and explicit examples their consistency with (braid-) statistics…

The classification of rational conformal field theories is reconsidered from the standpoint of boundary conditions. Solving Cardy's equation expressing the consistency condition on a cylinder is equivalent to finding integer valued…

Conformal field theory (CFT) has been extremely successful in describing large-scale universal effects in one-dimensional (1D) systems at quantum critical points. Unfortunately, its applicability in condensed matter physics has been limited…

Tate cohomology has been generalised by several authors using different constructions that have applications in group theory, ring theory and homotopical algebra. Therefore, there is a need for a uniform account that explains why their…
