The Giry monad on the category of measurable spaces sends a space to a space of all probability measures on it. There is also a finitely additive Giry monad in which probability measures are replaced by finitely additive probability…

The category of super convex spaces, a proper subcategory of convex spaces, possesses the property that it has a codense subcategory. This codense subcategory allows for an elementary proof that the Giry monad factorizes through the…

We present a categorical viewpoint of probability measures by showing that a probability measure can be viewed as a weakly averaging affine measurable functional taking values in the unit interval which preserves limits. The probability…

In The factorization of the Giry monad (arXiv:1707.00488v2) the author asserts that the category of convex spaces is equivalent to the category of Eilenberg-Moore algebras over the Giry monad. Some of the statements employed in the proof of…

A duality between the category of convex spaces and measurable spaces arises from the existence of the unit interval, which is an object in both these categories. The full subcategory of the category of convex spaces, consisting of just the…

In The factorization of the Giry monad (arXiv:1707.00488v2) the author considers two $\sigma$-algebras on convex spaces of functions to the unit interval. One of them is generated by the Boolean subobjects and the other is the…

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…

Giry algebras are barycenters maps, which are coequalizers of contractible coequalizer pairs (like any algebras), and their existence, in general, requires the measurable space be coseparated by the discrete two point space, and the…

The Giry monad on the category of measurable spaces restricts to the full subcategory of standard Borel spaces, $\mathbf{Std}$, which we show is amenable to analysis. $\mathbf{Std}$ contains the space $\mathbb{R}_{\infty}$ which is the…

We investigate the Eilenberg-Moore algebras for the Giry monad defined on the category of measurable spaces using super convex spaces. The category of super convex spaces has a subcategory consisting of the one point extension of the real…

In the field of categorical probability, one uses concepts and techniques from category theory, such as monads and monoidal categories, to study the structures of probability and statistics. In this paper, we connect some ideas from…

We define and study a probability monad on the category of complete metric spaces and short maps. It assigns to each space the space of Radon probability measures on it with finite first moment, equipped with the Kantorovich-Wasserstein…

Using the symmetric monoidal closed category structure of the category of measurable spaces, in conjunction with the Giry monad which we show is a strong monad, we analyze Bayesian inference maps and their construction in relation to the…

We show from a categorical point of view that probability measures on certain measurable or topological spaces arise canonically as the extension of probability distributions on countable sets. We do this by constructing probability monads…

Probability theory can be studied synthetically as the computational effect embodied by a commutative monad. In the recently proposed Markov categories, one works with an abstraction of the Kleisli category and then defines deterministic…

We obtain results concerning the so-called factorization for the convergence of random variables almost everywhere (almost surely or with probability one), belonging to the classical Lebesgue-Riesz spaces and we extend these results to the…

Recently, a geometrical characterization of vector spaces served to generalize them into a new class of algebras. Instead of the algebraic properties of the underlying fields, we generalized the recently discovered property of such spaces…

Using the Kleisi category of the Giry monad the deterministic existential and universal quantifiers are generalized to incorporate nondeterminism. These probabilistic quantifiers are quantified over the points of the category which are…

We discuss the folklore construction of the Gray tensor product of 2-categories as obtained by factoring the map from the funny tensor product to the cartesian product. We show that this factorisation can be obtained without using a…
