Markov categories, having tensors with copying and discarding, provide a setting for categorical probability. This paper uses finite colimits and what we call uniform states in such Markov categories to define a (fixed size) multiset…
We provide an introduction to enumerating and constructing invariants of group representations via character methods. The problem is contextualised via two case studies arising from our recent work: entanglement measures, for characterising…
The Glivenko--Cantelli theorem is a uniform version of the strong law of large numbers. It states that for every IID sequence of random variables, the empirical measure converges to the underlying distribution (in the sense of uniform…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of a von Neumann category, as a generalization and categorification of von Neumann algebra. A von Neumann category is a premonoidal category with compatible dagger structure which embeds as a double…
The quantum versions of de Finetti's theorem derived so far express the convergence of n-partite symmetric states, i.e., states that are invariant under permutations of their n parties, towards probabilistic mixtures of independent and…
In this paper, we provide a comprehensive analysis of involutive quantales, with a particular focus on quantic frames. We extend the axiomatic foundations of quantale-enriched topological spaces to include closure under the anti-homomorphic…
Countable state Markov shifts are a natural generalization of the well-known subshifts of finite type. They are the subject of current research both for their own sake and as models for smooth dynamical systems. In this paper, we…
n the present note, which is the first part of a work concerning the study of the set of the symmetric states for Fermi systems, we describe the extension of the De Finetti theorem to the infinite Fermi $C^*$-tensor product of a single…
In a quantum (inhomogeneous) Markov process $\rho_1:=\Gamma_1(\rho)$, $\rho_2:=\Gamma_1(\rho_1)$, ..., where $\Gamma_i$ are CPTP maps and $\rho$ is the initial state, the the state of the system is either oscillatory or convergent to a…
We introduce partial Markov categories. In the same way that Markov categories encode stochastic processes, partial Markov categories encode stochastic processes with constraints, observations and updates. In particular, we prove a…
We prove a new kind of quantum de Finetti theorem for representations of the unitary group U(d). Consider a pure state that lies in the irreducible representation U_{mu+nu} for Young diagrams mu and nu. U_{mu+nu} is contained in the tensor…
Quantum categories were introduced in [4] as generalizations of both bi(co)algebroids and small categories. We clarify details of that work. In particular, we show explicitly how the monadic definition of a quantum category unpacks to a set…
Conditional independence and Markov properties are powerful tools allowing expression of multidimensional probability distributions by means of low-dimensional ones. As multidimensional possibilistic models have been studied for several…
Let G be a finite group. We systematically exploit general homological methods in order to reduce the computation of G-equivariant KK-theory to topological equivariant K-theory. The key observation is that the functor assigning to a…
We introduce a construction that turns a category of pure state spaces and operators into a category of observable algebras and superoperators. For example, it turns the category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces into the category of…
We study various aspects of Fedosov star-products on symplectic manifolds. By introducing the notion of "quantum exponential maps", we give a criterion characterizing Fedosov connections. As a consequence, a geometric realization is…
We investigate permutation-invariant continuous variable quantum states and their covariance matrices. We provide a complete characterization of the latter with respect to permutation-invariance, exchangeability and representing convex…
In this paper, we propose a class of quantum Markov fields QMF on a graphs $G= (V,E)$. The Markov structure of the considered QMF is investigated in the finer structure of a quasi-local algebrav $\mathcal{A}_V$ of observables based over a…
Our starting point is a particular `canvas' aimed to `draw' theories of physics, which has symmetric monoidal categories as its mathematical backbone. In this paper we consider the conceptual foundations for this canvas, and how these can…
We show an organized form of quantum de Finetti theorem for Boolean independence. We define a Boolean analogue of easy quantum groups for the categories of interval partitions, which is a family of sequences of quantum semigroups. We…
