We determine the existential completion of a primary doctrine, and we prove that the 2-monad obtained from it is lax-idempotent, and that the 2-category of existential doctrines is isomorphic to the 2-category of algebras for this 2-monad.…
We extend the notion of exact completion on a weakly lex category to elementary doctrines. We show how any such doctrine admits an elementary quotient completion, which freely adds effective quotients and extensional equality. We note that…
We study the relationship between cartesian bicategories and a specialisation of Lawvere's hyperdoctrines, namely elementary existential doctrines. Both provide different ways of abstracting the structural properties of logical systems: the…
Taking a quotient roughly means changing the notion of equality on a given object, set or type. In a quantitative setting, equality naturally generalises to a distance, measuring how much elements are similar instead of just stating their…
In this work, we fill the gap between the elementary quotient completion introduced by Maietti and Rosolini and the exact completion of a category with weak finite limits, as described by Carboni and Vitale. To achieve this, we generalize…
We define the notion of exact completion with respect to an existential elementary doctrine. We observe that the forgetful functor from the 2-category exact categories to existential elementary doctrines has a left biadjoint that can be…
Recently, Abbadini and Guffanti gave an algebraic proof of Herbrand's theorem using a completion for Lawvere doctrines that freely adds existential and universal quantifiers. A more direct argument can be given by only completing with…
As several different formal systems with inequivalent syntax may describe equivalent semantics, it is possible to find `completions' to more expressive syntaxes that are semantically invariant. Doctrine theory, in the sense of Lawvere, is…
This paper aims to apply the tool of generalized existential completions of conjunctive doctrines, concerning a class $\Lambda$ of morphisms of their base category, to deepen the study of regular and exact completions of existential…
The elementary quotient completion of an elementary doctrine in the sense of Lawvere was introduced in previous work by the first and third authors. It generalises the exact completion of a category with finite products and weak equalisers.…
We apply some tools developed in categorical logic to give an abstract description of constructions used to formalize constructive mathematics in foundations based on intensional type theory. The key concept we employ is that of a Lawvere…
We contribute to the knowledge of the quantifier completions and their applications by using the language of doctrines. This algebraic presentation allows us to properly analyse the behaviour of the existential and universal quantifiers. We…
There are many category-theoretic notions of algebraic theory, including Lawvere theories, monads, PROPs and operads. The first central notion of this thesis is a common generalisation of these, which we call a proto-theory. In order to…
We exhibit an adjunction between a category of abstract algebras of partial functions and a category of set quotients. The algebras are those atomic algebras representable as a collection of partial functions closed under relative…
Lawvere showed that generalised metric spaces are categories enriched over $[0, \infty]$, the quantale of the positive extended reals. The statement of enrichment is a quantitative analogue of being a preorder. Towards seeking a logic for…
We provide graded extensions of algebraic theories and Lawvere theories that correspond to graded monads. We prove that graded algebraic theories, graded Lawvere theories, and finitary graded monads are equivalent via equivalence of…
A complete classifications of two-dimensional general, commutative, commutative Jordan, division and evolution real algebras are given. In the case of evolution algebras their groups of automorphisms and derivation algebras are described as…
This article tackles categorical coherence within a two-dimensional generalization of Lawvere's functorial semantics. 2-theories, a syntactical way of describing categories with structure, are presented. From the perspective here afforded,…
Algebraic logic studies algebraic theories related to proposition and first-order logic. A new algebraic approach to first-order logic is sketched in this paper. We introduce the notion of a quantifier theory, which is a functor from the…
The geometric and algebraic theory of monomial ideals and multigraded modules is initiated over real-exponent polynomial rings and, more generally, monoid algebras for real polyhedral cones. The main results include the generalization of…
