On the Semantics of Petri Nets

TL;DR: Petri Place/Transition nets still lack a satisfactory semantics; Winskel's basic unfolding construction, which provides a coreflection between nets and finitary prime algebraic domains, works only for safe nets.

Categorical Morita Equivalence for Group-Theoretical Categories

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the dual of a pointed semisimple category with respect to a module category is a Grothendieck ring and the associator of the dual is an associator.

Amenable Tensor Categories and Their Realizations as AFD Bimodules

TL;DR: Amenable C*-tensor categories are realized as bimodules of finite Jones index over the AFD II 1-factor as discussed by the authors, which is the same as the one used in this paper.

The compositional structure of multipartite quantum entanglement

TL;DR: It is shown that multipartite quantum entanglement admits a compositional structure, and hence is subject to modern computer science methods, and induces a generalised graph state paradigm for measurement-based quantum computing.

Quantum double of Hopf monads and categorical centers

TL;DR: In this paper, a Hopf monad ZT on an autonomous category C, the centralizer of T, and a canonical distributive law Ω: TZT → ZTT is given.
