New Directions in Categorical Logic, for Classical, Probabilistic and Quantum Logic

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that under mild conditions on a category, its maps of the form X -> 1+1 carry such effect module structure, and can be used as predicates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homological perturbation theory for algebras over operads

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend homological perturbation theory to algebraic structures governed by operads and cooperads, and derive explicit formulas for transferring algebra structures along contractions, where C is any connected cooperad in chain complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Derived equivalences induced by big cotilting modules

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that given a Grothendieck category G with a tilting object of finite projective dimension, the induced triangle equivalence sends an injective cogenerator of G to a big cotilting module.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperdoctrines, natural deduction and the beck condition

TL;DR: It is shown that hyperdoctrines are naturally equivalent to first order intuitionistic theories with equality, where here “theory” is intended to include some proof theoretic structure, and not merely the notion of entailment.

From Quantum Groups to Unitary Modular Tensor Categories

TL;DR: Modular tensor categories are generalizations of the representation categories of quantum groups at roots of unity axiomatizing the properties of 3-dimensional TQFTs as mentioned in this paper.
