A novel reduced-scaling, general-order coupled-cluster approach is formulated by exploiting hierarchical representations of many-body tensors, combined with the recently suggested formalism of scale-adaptive tensor algebra. Inspired by the…

In this paper, we show that there are infinitely many semisimple tensor (or monoidal) categories of rank two over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb F$.

We study tensor networks as a model of arithmetic computation for evaluating multilinear maps. These capture any algorithm based on low border rank tensor decompositions, such as $O(n^{\omega+\epsilon})$ time matrix multiplication, and in…

A 2-group is a `categorified' version of a group, in which the underlying set G has been replaced by a category and the multiplication map m: G x G -> G has been replaced by a functor. A number of precise definitions of this notion have…

We investigate the potential of tensor network based machine learning methods to scale to large image and text data sets. For that, we study how the mutual information between a subregion and its complement scales with the subsystem size…

Complex systems that consist of different kinds of entities that interact in different ways can be modeled by multilayer networks. This paper uses the tensor formalism with the Einstein tensor product to model this type of networks. Several…

Cartesian differential categories were introduced to provide an abstract axiomatization of categories of differentiable functions. The fundamental example is the category whose objects are Euclidean spaces and whose arrows are smooth maps.…

Graphs emerge in almost every real-world application domain, ranging from online social networks all the way to health data and movie viewership patterns. Typically, such real-world graphs are big and dynamic, in the sense that they evolve…

We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part we discus the main structures…

Graphs, and sequences of growing graphs, can be used to specify the architecture of mathematical models in many fields including machine learning and computational science. Here we define structured graph "lineages" (ordered by level…

We generalize the construction of tensor categories of endomorphisms of a type III factor $M$ associated with a $G$-kernel, from the case of a discrete group $G$ to that of a compact second countable group. Our approach is based on the…

The role of types in categorical models of meaning is investigated. A general scheme for how typed models of meaning may be used to compare sentences, regardless of their grammatical structure is described, and a toy example is used as an…

We introduce some new symmetric tensor categories based on the combinatorics of trees: a discrete family $\mathcal{D}(n)$, for $n \ge 3$ an integer, and a continuous family $\mathcal{C}(t)$, for $t \ne 1$ a complex number. The construction…

Algebraic theories with dependency between sorts form the structural core of Martin-L\"of type theory and similar systems. Their denotational semantics are typically studied using categorical techniques; many different categorical…

Tensors are a natural way to express correlations among many physical variables, but storing tensors in a computer naively requires memory which scales exponentially in the rank of the tensor. This is not optimal, as the required memory is…

2-Theories are a canonical way of describing categories with extra structure. 2-theory-morphisms are used when discussing how one structure can be replaced with another structure. This is central to categorical coherence theory. We place a…
