Gaggle Theory: An Abstraction of Galois Connections and Residuation with Applications to Negation, Implication, and Various Logical Operations

TL;DR: Routine definitions from lattice theory ("prime filter," "prime ideal," etc.) are to be found in Birkhoff (1967).
Journal ArticleDOI

Braided matrix structure of the Sklyanin algebra and of the quantum Lorentz group

TL;DR: In this article, the degenerate Sklyanin algebra is shown to be isomorphic to the braided matrices, and also a semidirect product as a coalgebra if we use braid statistics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parametricity and local variables

TL;DR: This work uses relational parametricity to construct a model for an Algol-like language in which interactions between local and non-local entities satisfy certain relational criteria, and supports straightforward validations of all the test equivalences that have been proposed in the literature for local-variable semantics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relative categories: Another model for the homotopy theory of homotopy theories

TL;DR: This paper lifted Charles Rezk's complete Segal space model structure on simplicial spaces to a Quillen equivalent one on the category of relative categories, and showed that the complete model can be lifted to simplify simplicial space models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagonal crossed products by duals of quasi-quantum groups

TL;DR: The diagonal crossed product of a Hopf algebra on an associative algebra ℳ is defined in this article as a quasi-Hopf algebra which admits a two-sided coaction, where (λ,ρ) is a commuting pair of left and right -coactions.
