The familiar adjunction between ordered sets and completely distributive lattices can be extended to generalised metric spaces, that is, categories enriched over a quantale (a lattice of "truth values"), via an appropriate distributive law…
We introduce a general categorical framework for the definition of weak behavioural equivalences, building on and extending recent results in the field. This framework is based on parametrized saturation categories, i.e. categories whose…
A Hausdorff topology $\tau$ on the bicyclic monoid with adjoined zero $\mathcal{C}^0$ is called {\em weak} if it is contained in the coarsest inverse semigroup topology on $\mathcal{C}^0$. We show that the lattice $\mathcal{W}$ of all weak…
We consider the Complex Stone-Weierstrass Property (CSWP), which is the complex version of the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem. If X is a compact subspace of a product of three linearly ordered spaces, then X has the CSWP if and only if X has no…
We provide conditions on a monoidal model category $\mathcal{M}$ so that the category of commutative monoids in $\mathcal{M}$ inherits a model structure from $\mathcal{M}$ in which a map is a weak equivalence or fibration if and only if it…
It is shown that the collection of weakly almost periodic functionals on the convolution algebra of a commutative Hopf von Neumann algebra is a C$^*$-algebra. This implies that the weakly almost periodic functionals on $M(G)$, the measure…
We extend the Larson-Sweedler theorem to weak Hopf algebras by proving that a finite dimensional weak bialgebra is a weak Hopf algebra iff it possesses a non-degenerate left integral. We show that the category of modules over a weak Hopf…
Let G/H be a reductive symmetric space and K a maximal compact subgroup of G. We study Fourier transforms of compactly supported K-finite distributions on G/H and characterize the image of the space of such distributions.
By de Vries duality [9], the category ${\sf KHaus}$ of compact Hausdorff spaces is dually equivalent to the category ${\sf DeV}$ of de Vries algebras. In [5] an alternate duality for ${\sf KHaus}$ was developed, where de Vries algebras were…
We establish a comparison principle for viscosity subsolutions and supersolutions of a broad class of second-order quasilinear, maximally subelliptic PDEs on general manifolds. In fact, we prove the comparison theorem for a larger class of…
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…
The expectation monad is introduced abstractly via two composable adjunctions, but concretely captures measures. It turns out to sit in between known monads: on the one hand the distribution and ultrafilter monad, and on the other hand the…
We show that for a minimal, second countable, locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid whose unit space is homeomorphic to the Cantor set, if the groupoid has comparison then the commutator subgroup of its full group is simple. This…
Distributive laws of a monad T over a functor F are categorical tools for specifying algebra-coalgebra interaction. They proved to be important for solving systems of corecursive equations, for the specification of well-behaved structural…
Strong bisimulation for labelled transition systems is one of the most fundamental equivalences in process algebra, and has been generalised to numerous classes of systems that exhibit richer transition behaviour. Nearly all of the ensuing…
We show a new functional limit theorem for weakly dependent regularly varying sequences of random vectors. As it turns out, the convergence takes place in the space of R^d valued c\`{a}dl\`{a}g functions endowed with the so-called weak M1…
We introduce a classification of locally compact Hausdorff topological spaces with respect to the behavior of $\sigma$-compact subsets, and relying on this classification we study properties of corresponding $C^*$-algebras in terms of frame…
H-distributions associated to weakly convergent sequences in Sobolev spaces are determined. It is shown that a weakly convergent sequence $(u_n)$ in $W^{-k,p}( \R^d)$ has the property that $\theta u_n$ converges strongly in $W^{-k,p}(\R^d)$…
The "weakly Hausdorff" property for pseudoradial spaces fails to be naturally characterized by unique convergence of transfinite sequences. In response, we develop the category $\mathbf{SPsRad}$ of strongly pseudoradial spaces, compactly…
In this paper, we introduce a new category of simplicial effects that extends the categories of effect algebras and their multi-object counterpart, effect algebroids. Our approach is based on relaxing the associativity condition satisfied…
