Doubles of Quasi-Quantum Groups
Frank Hausser,Florian Nill +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the tensor product of a quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra can be used to construct a quasi-quantum double in terms of a Tannaka-Krein-like reconstruction procedure.

Selection functions, bar recursion and backward induction
TL;DR: This work explains bar recursion in terms of sequential games, and shows how it can be naturally understood as a generalisation of the principle of backward induction that arises in game theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two applications of analytic functors
TL;DR: The theory of analytic functors is applied to two topics related to theoretical computer science, one a new verification of the Lagrange-Good inversion formula using several ideas appearing in semantics of lambda calculi, especially the relation between categorical traces and fixpoint operators.
