The q-theory of Finite Semigroups

TL;DR: The q-theory of finite semigroups as mentioned in this paper is a theory that provides a unifying approach to finite semigroup theory via quantization, and it is the only contemporary exposition of the complete theory of the complexity of finite semiigroups.

TFT construction of RCFT correlators I: Partition functions

TL;DR: In this paper, rational conformal field theory is formulated in terms of a symmetric special Frobenius algebra A and its representations, which is an algebra in the modular tensor category of Moore-Seiberg data of the underlying chiral CFT.
Book

Synthetic Differential Geometry

TL;DR: The second edition of the Synthetic Ttheory as mentioned in this paper was published in 2005 and contains a number of extensions and descriptions for axioms 1, 2, and 3 and well-adapted models for epsilon stable geometric theories.

Notions of Computation Determine Monads

TL;DR: This work focuses on semantics for global and local state, showing that taking operations and equations as primitive yields a mathematical relationship that reflects their computational relationship.

A theory of dimension

Roberto Longo, +1 more
- 01 Feb 1997 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of dimension related to the Jones index and based on the notion of conjugation is developed, and an elementary proof of the additivity and multiplicativity of the dimension is given and there is an associated trace.
