This paper presents a construction which transforms categorical models of additive-free propositional linear logic, closely based on de Paiva's dialectica categories and Oliva's functional interpretations of classical linear logic. The…
We present a coalgebraic framework for studying generalisations of dynamic modal logics such as PDL and game logic in which both the propositions and the semantic structures can take values in an algebra $\mathbf{A}$ of truth-degrees. More…
We give an operator-algebraic formulation of robust self-testing in terms of states on C*-algebras. We show that a quantum correlation p is a robust self-test only if among all (abstract) states, there is a unique one achieving p. We show…
A quantum system with variables in Z(d) is considered. Coherent density matrices and coherent projectors of rank n are introduced, and their properties (e.g., the resolution of the identity) are dis- cussed. Cooperative game theory and in…
We show that elements of unital $C^*$-algebras without tracial states are finite sums of commutators. Moreover, the number of commutators involved is bounded, depending only on the given $C^*$-algebra.
Cooperative games are an important class of problems in game theory, where the goal is to distribute a value among a set of players who are allowed to cooperate by forming coalitions. An outcome of the game is given by an allocation vector…
We develop the theory of strong and commutative monads in the 2-dimensional setting of bicategories. This provides a framework for the analysis of effects in many recent models which form bicategories and not categories, such as those based…
In a single-state repeated game, zero-determinant strategies can unilaterally force functions of the payoffs to take values in particular closed intervals. When the explicit use of a determinant is absent from the analysis, they are instead…
We are interested in the convergence of the value of n-stage games as n goes to infinity and the existence of the uniform value in stochastic games with a general set of states and finite sets of actions where the transition is commutative.…
We consider an application of the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics (QM) outside physics, namely, to game theory. We present a simple game between macroscopic players, say Alice and Bob (or in a more complex form - Alice, Bob and…
Infinite-state games are a commonly used model for the synthesis of reactive systems with unbounded data domains. Symbolic methods for solving such games need to be able to construct intricate arguments to establish the existence of winning…
Functor coalgebras capture a wide range of transition systems that must however evolve in discrete steps. We introduce graded coalgebras of graded monads and propose them to model continuous-time transition systems. We develop the theory of…
We prove that a family of linear bounded evolution operators $({\bf G}(t,s))_{t\ge s\in I}$ can be associated, in the space of vector-valued bounded and continuous functions, to a class of systems of elliptic operators $\bm{\mathcal A}$…
Arboreal categories were introduced as an axiomatic framework for game comonads, which provide a comonadic view on many model-comparison games in logic. We demonstrate the inadequacy of the axiom stating that paths are connected. We then…
Bisimilarity as an equivalence notion of systems has been central to process theory. Due to the recent rise of interest in quantitative systems (probabilistic, weighted, hybrid, etc.), bisimilarity has been extended in various ways:…
Game semantics provides an interactive point of view on proofs, which enables one to describe precisely their dynamical behavior during cut elimination, by considering formulas as games on which proofs induce strategies. We are specifically…
One goal of applied category theory is to better understand networks appearing throughout science and engineering. Here we introduce "structured cospans" as a way to study networks with inputs and outputs. Given a functor $L \colon…
We develop the basic constructions of homological algebra in the (appropriately defined) unbounded derived categories of modules over algebras over coalgebras over noncommutative rings (which we call semialgebras over corings). We define…
We study the classical and quantum values of one- and two-party linear games, an important class of unique games that generalizes the well-known XOR games to the case of non-binary outcomes. We introduce a ``constraint graph" associated to…
A communication game consists of distributed parties attempting to jointly complete a task with restricted communication. Such games are useful tools for studying limitations of physical theories. A theory exhibits preparation contextuality…
