Extracting an $\mathbb{N}$-filtered differential modality from a differential modality
Abstract
A differential modality is a comonad on an additive symmetric monoidal category , whose underlying functor we denote , together with some additional structure including a differential operator . A morphism is interpreted as a smooth function from to . The notion of an -filtered differential modality is a variant in which a notion of degree is present. Instead of a single functor , we ask for a family of functors where . Now, a morphism is interpreted as a smooth function from to , with degree less than for some notion of degree. We prove that under mild conditions, every differential modality on an additive symmetric monoidal category with underlying functor yields an -filtered differential modality with underlying functors . A morphism corresponds to a polynomial map of degree less than from to , in the sense that the -th derivative of is .
