Bits and pieces of the theory of institutions

TL;DR: This talk will attempt to give a necessarily incomplete overview of the problems in the theory of institutions the authors do not know much about, and identify some open problems and possible directions for further research and applications.

Algebraic set theory

TL;DR: The Zermelo-Fraenkel algebras as mentioned in this paper are a set theory based algebraic approach to set theory, which is completely constructive and contains both intuitionistic set theory and topos theory.

A scalable module system

TL;DR: The Mmt language is designed and implemented as the simplest possible language that combines a module system, a foundationally uncommitted formal semantics, and web-scalable implementations to integrate existing representation languages for formal mathematical knowledge in a simple, scalable formalism.

On the Foundation of Final Semantics: Non-Standard Sets, Metric Spaces, Partial Orders

TL;DR: In this article, coalgebras are used for non-standard theory of non-well-founded sets, which is a generalization of the notion of post-fixed point.
