For a small involutive quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, it is shown that the category of separated complete $\mathcal{Q}$-categories and left adjoint $\mathcal{Q}$-functors is strictly monadic over the category of symmetric…
Quantum entanglement is an important phenomenon in quantum information theory. To detect entanglement theoretically, positive but not completely positive maps are used. The Kadison-Schwarz (KS) inequality interpolates between positivity and…
The notion of effectus from categorical logic is relevant in the emerging field of categorical probability theory. In some cases, stochastic maps are represented by maps in the Kleisli category of some probability monad. Quantum…
For a commutative, unital and divisible quantale $\mathsf{Q}$, it is shown that the category of $\mathsf{Q}$-sets is a topos if, and only if, $\mathsf{Q}$ is a frame.
We provide a new characterisation of quantum supermaps in terms of an axiom that refers only to sequential and parallel composition. Consequently, we generalize quantum supermaps to arbitrary monoidal categories and operational…
By a map $p:Q\to X$ of involutive quantales is meant a homomorphism $p^*:X\to Q$. Calling a map $p$ weakly open if $p^*$ has a left adjoint $p_!$ which satisfies the Frobenius reciprocity condition (i.e., $p_!$ is a homomorphism of…
Furber and Jacobs have shown in their study of quantum computation that the category of commutative C*-algebras and PU-maps (positive linear maps which preserve the unit) is isomorphic to the Kleisli category of a comonad on the category of…
Inspired by the theory of apartness relations of Scott, we establish a positive theory of dissimilarity valued in an involutive quantale $\mathsf{Q}$ without the aid of negation. It is demonstrated that a set equipped with a…
We show that any quantum family of maps from a non commutative space to a compact quantum metric space has a canonical quantum semi metric structure.
We formulate an elementary condition on an involutive quantaloid Q under which there is a distributive law from the Cauchy completion monad over the symmetrisation comonad on the category of Q-enriched categories. For such quantaloids,…
Consider a multimodal interval map $f$ of $C^3$ with non-flat critical points. We establish several characterizations of the map $f$ is quasi-symmetrically conjugated to a piecewise affine map in the case $f$ is topologically exact and all…
This work mainly concerns the -- here introduced -- category of $\mathscr Q$-sets and functional morphisms, where $\mathscr Q$ is a commutative semicartesian quantale. We describe, in detail, the limits and colimits of this complete and…
In this paper, we discuss the associated family of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type which are either algebraic or totally symmetric. These…
Continuous-variable systems in quantum theory can be fully described through any one of the ${\rm s}$-ordered family of quasiprobabilities $\Lambda_{\rm s}(\alpha)$, ${\rm s} \in [-1,1]$. We ask for what values of $({\rm s}, a)$ is the…
A general result relating skew monoidal structures and monads is proved. This is applied to quantum categories and bialgebroids. Ordinary categories are monads in the bicategory whose morphisms are spans between sets. Quantum categories…
For a small quantaloid $\mathcal{Q}$, we introduce $\mathcal{M}$-(co)complete $\mathcal{Q}$-categories, i.e., (co)complete $\mathcal{Q}$-categories up to Morita equivalence, as Eilenberg--Moore algebras of the presheaf monad on the category…
We prove that a quasiisometric map between rank one symmetric spaces is within bounded distance from a unique harmonic map. In particular, this completes the proof of the Schoen-Li-Wang conjecture.
We analyze bipartite matrices and linear maps between matrix algebras, which are respectively, invariant and covariant, under the diagonal unitary and orthogonal groups' actions. By presenting an expansive list of examples from the…
We establish a close and previously unknown relation between quantales and groupoids, in terms of which the notion of etale groupoid is subsumed in a natural way by that of quantale. In particular, to each etale groupoid, either localic or…
We introduce the notion of one-sided mapping cones of positive linear maps between matrix algebras. These are convex cones of maps that are invariant under compositions by completely positive maps from either the left or right side. The…
