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 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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Several monads of probability measures have been shown to have presentations as codensity monads over small categories of stochastic maps. This paper studies how three key properties of these probability monads, relevant to categorical…

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…

This article develops a comprehensive theory of multiary graded polyadic algebras, extending the classical concept of group-graded algebras to higher-arity structures. We introduce the notion of grading by multiary groups and investigate…

Rigid monoidal 1-categories are ubiquitous throughout quantum algebra and low-dimensional topology. We study a generalization of this notion, namely rigid algebras in an arbitrary monoidal 2-category. Examples of rigid algebras include…

We describe a finitary 2-monad on a locally finitely presentable 2-category for which not every pseudoalgebra is equivalent to a strict one. This shows that having rank is not a sufficient condition on a 2-monad for every pseudoalgebra to…

Barycentric algebras are an abstraction of the notion of convex sets, defined by a set of equations. We study semitopological and topological barycentric algebras, in the spirit of a previous study by Klaus Keimel on semitopological and…
