A Categorical Approach to Turaev's Hopf Group-Coalgebras

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that Hopf group coalgebras and group-algebraic groups can be classified into a symmetric monoidal category, which is called the Turaev category.

Trace semantics via determinization

TL;DR: This paper develops a systematic study in which the two different views on trace semantics are equivalent, in the examples where both approaches are applicable.

What does it take to prove Fermat's Last Theorem? Grothendieck and the logic of number theory

TL;DR: The set theoretic assumptions used in the current published proof of Fermat's Last Theorem are explored, how these assumptions figure in the methods Wiles uses, and the currently known prospects for a proof using weaker assumptions.

Sentence entailment in compositional distributional semantics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that entropy-based distances of vectors and density matrices provide a good candidate to measure word-level entailment, and prove that these distances extend compositionally from words to phrases and sentences.

Adjunction of semifunctors: categorical structures in nonextensional lambda calculus

TL;DR: The notion of adjunction of semifunctors is introduced and the notion of semi cartesian closed category (semi-ccc for short) is defined and it is shown that any semiadjunction is embeddable in an adjunction (of functors) and Scott embedding is a special case.
