Tensor Products of Modules for a Vertex Operator Algebra and Vertex Tensor Categories
Yi-Zhi Huang,James Lepowsky +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a tensor product theory of classes of modules for vertex operator algebra is presented, which is based on both the formal-calculus approach to vertex algebra theory developed in [FLM2] and [FHL] and the precise geometric interpretation of the notion of vertex algebra established in [H1].
Journal ArticleDOI
Concept maps as hypermedia components
TL;DR: A general concept mapping system that is open architecture for integration with other systems, scriptable to support arbitrary interactions and computations, and cutomizable to emulate many styles of map is described.
DissertationDOI
Non-Abelian Anyons and Interferometry
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the collapse behavior exhibited by a target anyon in a superposition of states is determined by the monodromy of the probe anyons with the target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glueing and orthogonality for models of linear logic
Martin Hyland,Andrea Schalk +1 more
TL;DR: The general theory of the method of glueing and associated technique of orthogonality for constructing categorical models of all the structure of linear logic is presented and the exponentials are treated in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the structure of varieties with equationally definable principal congruences III
Willem J. Blok,Don Pigozzi +1 more
TL;DR: The notion of apseudo-interior algebras was introduced in this paper, which is a hybrid of a topological interior algebra and a residuated partially ordered monoid.
