We propose a recursive definition of V-n-categories and their morphisms. We show that for V k-fold monoidal the structure of a (k-n)-fold monoidal strict (n+1)-category is possessed by V-n-Cat. This article is a completion of the work begun…

This article represents a preliminary attempt to link Kan extensions, and some of their further developments, to Fourier theory and quantum algebra through *-autonomous monoidal categories and related structures.

We describe a method for building composable and extensible verification procedures within the Coq proof assistant. Unlike traditional methods that rely on run-time generation and checking of proofs, we use verified-correct procedures with…

We present a categorical framework for formal systems in which inference rules with $m$ metavariables over a category of syntax $\mathscr{S}$, taken to be a cartesian PROP, are represented by operations of arity $k \to n$ equipped with…

We introduce a modified version of the necklace Lie bialgebra associated to a quiver, in which the bracket and cobracket insert (rather than remove) pairs of arrows in involution. This structure is then related to canonical quartic…

In this article we investigate which categorical structures of a category C are inherited by its arrow category. In particular, we show that a monoidal equivalence between two categories gives rise to a monoidal equivalence between their…

This paper proposes graphical representations of data and rationale provenance in workflows that convert both category labels and associated numeric data between distinct but semantically related taxonomies. We motivate the graphical…

In this paper we consider the problem of certified static checking of module-like constructs of programming languages. We argue that there are algorithms and properties related to modules that can be defined and proven in an abstract way.…

Naming conventions are an important concern in large verification projects using proof assistants, such as Coq. In particular, lemma names are used by proof engineers to effectively understand and modify Coq code. However, providing…

Capitalizing on previous encodings and formal developments about nominal calculi and type systems, we propose a weak Higher-Order Abstract Syntax formalization of the type language of pure System F<: within Coq, a proof assistant based on…

The "Concrete Semantics" book gives an introduction to imperative programming languages accompanied by an Isabelle/HOL formalization. In this paper we discuss a re-formalization of the book using the Coq proof assistant. In order to achieve…

A linear Gr-category is a category of finite-dimensional vector spaces graded by a finite group together with natural tensor product. We classify the braided monoidal structures of a class of linear Gr-categories via explicit computations…

Common programming tools, like compilers, debuggers, and IDEs, crucially rely on the ability to analyse program code to reason about its behaviour and properties. There has been a great deal of work on verifying compilers and static…

This article combines the vocabulary of semiotics and category theory to provide a formal analysis of visualization. It shows how familiar processes of visualization fit the semiotic frameworks of both Saussure and Peirce, and extends these…

Let $\C$ be a sequence of multisets of subspaces of a vector space $\F_q^k$. We describe a practical algorithm which computes a canonical form and the stabilizer of $\C$ under the group action of the general semilinear group. It allows us…
