Representation and character theory in 2-categories

TL;DR: Hopkins, Kuhn and Ravenel as mentioned in this paper developed a (2-)categorical generalization of the theory of group representations and characters, and defined an analog of the character which is the function on commuting pairs of group elements given by the joint traces of the corresponding functors.

Applying quantitative semantics to higher-order quantum computing

TL;DR: In this paper, a denotational semantics for a quantum lambda calculus with recursion and an infinite data type is proposed, using constructions from the quantitative semantics of linear logic.

Configuration spaces with summable labels

TL;DR: An n-monoid is the appropriate extension of an A ∞-space for the theory of n-fold loop spaces as mentioned in this paper, and it is defined spaces of configurations on n-manifolds with summable labels in partial N-monoids, which cover symmetric products, spaces of rational curves and spaces of labelled subsets.

The java memory model: operationally, denotationally, axiomatically

TL;DR: A semantics to a small fragment of Java capturing the new memory model (JMM) described in the Language Specification is given by combining operational, denotational and axiomatic techniques in a novel semantic framework.

Operated semigroups, Motzkin paths and rooted trees

TL;DR: In this article, the concept of operated semigroups with intuitive and convenient combinatorial descriptions is introduced, and a construction of free Rota-Baxter algebras in terms of Motzkin paths and rooted trees is given.
