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…
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…
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…
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 construct a factorization of the Giry monad through the category of convex spaces, and show that, provided that no measurable cardinals exist, probability measures can be viewed as natural transformations. Using the adjunction of this…
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…
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…
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…
We investigate the Eilenberg-Moore algebras of the extended probabilistic powerdomain monad $\mathcal V_w$ over the category $\mathbf{TOP}_0$ of $T_0$ topological spaces and continuous maps. We prove that every $\mathcal V_w$-algebra in our…
We analyse compatibility between monads and monoidal structures in the two-dimensional setting. We describe sufficient conditions for monoidal structures to lift to the Eilenberg-Moore pseudoalgebras. We then extend these results to braids,…
We consider representations of quivers taking values in monads or comonads over a Grothendieck category $\mathcal C$. We treat these as scheme like objects whose ``structure sheaf'' consists of monads or comonads. By using systems of…
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…
For a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ of finite representation type and an additive generator $M$ for $\mathrm{mod}\,\Lambda$, we investigate the properties of the Yoneda algebra $\Gamma=\bigoplus_{i \geq…
We give an operadic definition of a genuine symmetric monoidal G-category, and we prove that its classifying space is a genuine E_\infty G-space. We do this by developing some very general categorical coherence theory. We combine results of…
We propose an abstract definition of convex spaces as sets where one can take convex combinations in a consistent way. A priori, a convex space is an algebra over a finitary version of the Giry monad. We identify the corresponding Lawvere…
Whereas formal category theory is classically considered within a $2$-category, in this paper a double-dimensional approach is taken. More precisely we develop such theory within the setting of augmented virtual double categories, a notion…
Quantitative algebras are $\Sigma$-algebras acting on metric spaces, where operations are nonexpanding. Mardare, Panangaden and Plotkin introduced 1-basic varieties as categories of quantitative algebras presented by quantitative equations.…
We show that the Giry monad is not strong with respect to the canonical symmetric monoidal closed structure on the category Meas of all measurable spaces and measurable functions.
