This can also be written in terms of “conical” limits in C.
In terms of homotopy type theory this heuristics becomes a theorem.
So the loops here are all built from two semi-ciricle paths.
Intuitively, the group structure comes from composition and inversion of loops.
In homotopy type theory, it is literally concatenation of paths.
Now consider Y→X an object of C/X.
The definitiong of the right-hand commutative square above may not be obvious.
This comes canonically with its terminal global sections (∞,1)-geometric morphism (LConst⊣Γ):H→Γ←LConst∞Grpd.
In Top this is the usual topological circle.
In sSet Quillen the (∞,1)-pushout is computed by the homotopy pushout.
This we now come to.
This is discussed at (∞,1)-topos in the section Closed monoidal structure.
We spell out in detail what this action looks like.
The reader should thoughout keep the homotopy hypothesis-equivalence, (|−|⊣Π):Top≃∞Grpd in mind.
This can happen only for n=n′, but then it happens for arbitrary ℓ.
In other words we have Aut(Bℤ)≃∐ [n]∈ℤ ×Bℤ. and Aut Id(Bℤ)≃Bℤ.
In this model things look more like one might expect from a circle action.
Notice that Bℤ is the skeleton of Π 1(S 1).
Consider H= ∞Grpd, G a group and X=BG the delooping groupoid.
In particular, the categorical circle action is ℓ:(g→hAd hg)↦(g→g ℓhAd hg).
The circle acton on ℒX induces differentials on these.
For instance G could be GL(n) itself and this morphism the identity.
This generalises the above example of ℒBG.
In higher differential geometry, geometry is paired with homotopy theory.
This section lists examples of how higher differential geometry helps with understanding plain differential geometry.
The textbook (Moerdijk-Mrcun) discusses foliation theory from this perspective.
These are equivalently (Chevalley-Eilenberg algebras) of L-∞ algebroids.
A subtopic of this is Poisson geometry, where the foliation is by symplectic leaves.
A fundamental problem in Poisson geometry was the deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds.
The classification of these structures in each case is infinitesimally given by deformation theory.
This is amplified in (Fiorenza-Martinengo2012).
Notably the moduli spaces arising in differential geometry tend to be orbifolds instead of manifolds.
But orbifolds are equivalently a proper étale Lie groupoid.
Maxwell's equations influenced the study of de Rham cohomology.
The category of smooth manifolds does not have many limits.
To a large extent, differential geometry had been co
evolving with the description of physics in terms of fields.
We indicate here some aspects.
For comprehensive introductory lecture notes on this topic see at geometry of physics.
A more technical survey of is in FSS 13.
The category 𝒦(𝒜) is sometimes called the “homotopy category of chain complexes”.
Therefore in homotopy theory it should behave entirely as the 0-complex itself.
But the above chain map is chain homotopic precisely only to itself.
This is the corresponding resolution of the original chain map.
This is the statement of this lemma at projective resolution.
The following definitions follow Mochizuki2004.
An anabelioid is also known as a multi-Galois category.

For that reason Connes‘ noncommutative manifolds are well described as spectral geometry.
Noncommutative measure spaces are represented by noncommutative von Neumann algebras.
See model structure on operator algebras.
All these efforts belong to an early phase of noncommutative algebraic geometry.
Noncommutative analytic geometry is even now only vaguely outlined in existing works.
We can thus follow Durov in thinking of it as a generalized ring.
For example, all affine spaces are convex spaces as defined below.
This duality is functorial, and therefore is present for convex spaces for general P.
This leads to the notion of a dual convex space?.
The intended interpretation is that c p(x,y)=x+p(y−x)=(1−p)x+py.
In the unbiased version, any convex-linear combination is a linear combination.
In the unbiased version, any convex-linear combination is an affine linear combination.
This can be generalised to any (possibly unbounded) semilattice.
We may call a cancellative convex space an abstract convex set.
A lambda theory is a cartesian operad equiped with a semi-closed structure.
Moreover, we have that [Fin,Set](U n,U)≅L(n) naturally in n.

Algebraic topology refers to the application of methods of algebra to problems in topology.
Therefore, the functorial method is very suitable to prove negative existence for morphisms.
The archetypical example is the classification of surfaces via their Euler characteristic.
This way algebraic topology makes use of tools of homological algebra.

Thus the presence of Tate twists is indispensable to the arithmetic aspect of cohomology.
The analogue of this story goes through for singular cohomology of a complex manifold.

Therefore classifying and counting instantons amounts to classifying and counting G-principal bundles.
This is the case of “BPST-instantons”.
This is the 4-sphere S 4≃ℝ 4∪{∞}.
We see below that Chern-Weil theory identifies this number with the instanton number.
Therefore this class completely characterizes SU(2)-principal bundles in 4d.
Constructing instantons from gauge transformations
Topologically this is homeomorphic to the situation before, and hence just as good.
Gauge fields vanishing at infinity
Now we bring in connections.
As discussed before, we may just as well consider any principal connection.
But beware that this is only true on a single chart.
Because the 4-form is gauge invariant.
Put this way this should be very obvious now.
That this is so is given to us by Chern-Weil theory.
In fact the full story is nicer still.

In the following we try to illuminate what the article here is saying.
The following tries to illuminate a bit what’s going on .
So the idea is to axiomatize big toposes in which geometry may take place.
We walk through the main bits of the article:
Another axiom is that Π 0 preserves finite products.
This appears on page 6.
This is what Lawvere is talking about from the bottom of p. 6 on.
The downward functor that he mentions is Γ:ℰ→𝒮.
The left and right adjoint inclusions to this are Disc and coDisc.
Therefore there is an intrinsic notion of geometric paths in any cohesive ∞-topos.
In fact there is differential cohomology in every cohesive (∞,1)-topos.
Notice next that every adjoint triple induces an adjoint monad.
Then the isomorphism condition means that X has exactly one global point.
And so there is ∞-Lie theory canonically in every cohesive ∞-topos.
More discussion of all this is at differential cohomology in a cohesive topos.

Roughly, Massey Products are to cohomology as Toda Brackets are to homotopy.
For n=3 this is due to (Stasheff).

There is no lifting axiom!
But the axioms are still self-dual.
Each fiber of a pseudomodel stack is a pseudomodel category?

Banach coalgebras (or cogebras) are like Banach algebras, but coalgebras.
The dual of a Banach coalgebra is a Banach algebra (but not conversely).
We can also consider Banach bialgebras (or bigebras).
(Recall that a Banach algebra is a monoid object in Ban.)
Technically, we've defined a counital coassociative Banach coalgebra.
Then we have a cocommutative Banach coalgebra.
Then A⊕ 1K is a counital Banach coalgebra.

This reproduces the more classical form of the axiom of choice.
An equivalent statement is that every object is internally projective.
We call this the internal axiom of choice.
Often, however, this is the more relevant notion to consider.
The following characterization can be found in Freyd-Scedrov (1990, p.181)
A Grothendieck topos satisfies the internal axiom of choice iff it is a Boolean étendue.
In particular, satisfaction of IAC entails Booleanness.

See at Diaconescu-Goodman-Myhill theorem.
CC states that the set ℕ of natural numbers is projective.
Intuitively, this says that the failure of AC is parametrized by a single set.
It apparently follows from SVC, at least in ZF.
The small cardinality selection axiom is another similar axiom.
The axiom of choice can also be strengthened in a few ways.
(Making this precise requires a bit of work.)
These assumptions leads to a very nice setting for analysis called dream mathematics.
The existence of a Reinhardt cardinal contradicts AC.
These are stronger axioms as n increases.
There are also “internal” versions of these axioms.

The notion of cokernel is dual to that of kernel.
A cokernel in a category 𝒞 is a kernel in the opposite category 𝒞 op.
Taking cokernels is a right exact functor on arrow-categories.
The following example is by the very definition of abelian category.
By (∞,1)Topos is denoted the collection of all (∞,1)-toposes.
This is the (∞,1)-category-theory analog of Topos.

The following lists some common procedures that are known as categorification.
See also categorification in representation theory.
In a way, the very notion of counting is about this.
This point is made nicely in BaDo98.
In such diagrammatic incarnation, these definitions may be internalized into other categories.
For instance a group internal to Diff is a Lie group.
But similarly one can also internalize in categories of higher categories.
Then a group internal to Cat is a strict 2-group.
This is thought of as a notion of a categorified group.
But notice again how highly non-unique such categorification is.
One way to make this systematic is discussed below.
A general theory of this is described at geometric ∞-function theory.
Also geometric Langlands duality fits into this context.
These are infinity-categorified versions of the original structures.
Some people also speak of horizontal categorification as categorification.
This is to be distinguished from vertical categorification.
(Vertical) categorification can often be usefully decomposed into two operations.
Thus, this gives us groupoidal categorification, or homotopification.
This can also be understood naturally in the language of (n,r)-categories.

Finally, the functor π F simply discards the second component on objects and morphisms.

In constructive analysis, we must allow a gauge to take lower real values.
(This is not necessary with the Riemann integral.)
Otherwise, there may not be enough gauges, since these are rarely continuous.
This integral can also be found as an improper? Riemann integral.
This one can still be done as an improper Lebesgue integral.
(Are there any functions that are Henstock integrable but not locally Lebesgue integrable?)
In particular, what is often taken as a definition of the improper?
(However, we still need improper Henstock integrals to allow a=−∞ or b=∞.)
They are definitely correct for the proper integrals.

(Constructively, we require that x≰y iff y−x≰0.)
Note that in this case, A is nontrivial iff 0#0 is false.
We can similarly say when A is left-compatible.
Then < and > also have their usual meanings.
The (commutative) additive group structure is compatible, and A is nontrivial.

In old texts, strict 2-categories are occasionally called hypercategories.
2-categories provide the context for discussing adjunctions; monads.
2-categories form a 3-category, 2Cat.

This category sometimes arises in the study of gerbes.
Therefore, we can talk about categories enriched over Ho(Cat).
Thus a Ho(Cat)-category can be thought of as an “incoherent bicategory.”
In particular, any bicategory has an underlying Ho(Cat)-category.
We choose monoid homomorphisms P→ℤ/2 and P→ℤ/3 representing f and g, respectively.
Let c 1 be such that f(c 1)=b.
If g(c 1) is not the identity, let c=c 1.
If f(c 2) is not the identity, then let c=c 2.
In either case, neither f(c) nor g(c) is the identity.
But the element σ conjugates i(g(c)) to j(f(c)), a contradiction.
There are various different notions of n-vector spaces.
For n=2 this is a Baez-Crans 2-vector space.

Let ℰ be weakly cohesive topos.
ℰ has a connector T iff p !(Ω)=1. Proof.
“⇒”: Let 1⇉t 1t 0T be a connector.
Then t 1:1→T is a subobject with characteristic map χ 1:T→Ω.
Consider the two composites χ 1∘t i , i=0,1:
For i=1 this simply yields true by the definition of χ 1.
Therefore χ 1∘t 0 classifies 0→1 which is exactly the definition of false.
In particular, f∼ Ig implies p !(f)=p !(g).
▪ For the following the monoid structure of Ω will become important.
So let us briefly review the basics:
The conjunction ∧ is defined as the characteristic map of 1→⟨true,true⟩Ω×Ω.
but this implies X=0 since it corresponds to the pullback of true and false.

Theorem Let ℰ be a weakly cohesive topos.
Then the subobject classifier Ω is connected iff Ω is contractible.

Thus, a semilattice is a poset with property-like structure.
The category of semilattices Semilattices and semilattice homomorphims form a concrete category SemiLat.

Conversely, any idempotent commutative monoid becomes a Bool-module in a unique way.
Thus, the category SemiLat is equivalent to the category of Bool-modules.

This is a subentry of sheaf about the plus-construction on presheaves.
For other constructions called plus construction, see there.
See this MathOverflow question for details.
This implies the existence of the adjoint quadruple as discussed here.
This argument is formalized in the HoTT/Coq library.
But here we formulate the argument externally and categorically.
The plus-construction is a well-pointed endofunctor.
This follows fairly formally from its identification with ʃ♯, the composite of two reflectors.
Lemma The plus-construction preserves finite limits.
Both functors r ! and s * preserve finite limits.
For A∈Psh(C), the following are equivalent: A is a sheaf.
The canonical map r *A→s *A is an equivalence.
r *A is codiscrete.
η A:A→A + is an equivalence.
η A:A→A + has a retraction.
Of course if η A is an equivalence, it has a retraction.
It follows that sheafification exists.
(Roughly this argument appears in Lurie, section 6.5.3.)
We will actually prove something slightly more general.
Thus A is a sheaf if and only if it is (−2)-separated.
Thus, any n-truncated presheaf is n-separated.
The central auxiliary definition is:
So far everything has been very formal.
The base case n=−1 is the previous lemma.
Thus, by induction (▵f) + is (n−1)-truncated.

This is the structure of a strict 2-category.
We have that CatCat≃Str2Cat. is the category of strict 2-categories.
The inductive limit of this construction finally is the category of strict omega-categories.
The enrichment procedure should be allowed to make use of this extra structure.
However, this only fixed the first step of the above recursive definition.
There are many such generalizations which one could consider.

Here we discuss these presentations.
Let X∈PSh ∞(StrnCat) be some object.
Write 𝒱Cat for the (∞,1)-category of 𝒱-enriched (∞,1)-categories.

McLarty’s paper proposes another equivalent way to flesh out replacement categorically!
His main focus is on noncommutative geometry and homological algebra, especially the cyclic homology.

Separating the sets and elements
This is the approach taken by structural set theories.
This permits a “set of all sets” but still appears to avoid paradox.
Similar “global” restrictions on logic were investigated by Fitch 1953, 69.
The second statement clearly implies the first.
This proves by contradiction that every irreducible closed subset is a singleton.

It remains to work out more examples and applications.
A supermanifold of dimension (p|q) is a space locally modeled on ℝ p|q.
See also at signs in supergeometry.
This synthetic differential supergeometry is developed in (Carchedi-Roytenberg 12).
Here we notably need some Lie theory in the super context.
Discussion of the classical examples is in (Varadarajan 04, chapter 7.3).
The resulting Klein-Gordon equation describes the kinematics of spinless scalar particles.
The pair (V,Q) will be called a quadratic vector space.
Equivalently I is the ideal generated by elements x⊗x−Q(x)⋅1.
Since I is not homogeneous, this grading does not descend to the quotient.
The following theorem is the key to all structural results about Clifford algebras.
Note that tensor products are taken in the category of superalgebras.
Moreover, we have dim(Cl(V,Q))=2 dim(V).
We drop the quadratic forms from the notation and just sketch the proof.
Therefore it extends to an algebra homomorphism Cl(V⊕V′)→Cl(V)⊗Cl(V′).
By induction we obtain the formula for the dimension of Cl(V,Q).
Therefore it descends to a surjective map Cl(V,−Q)→Cl(V,Q).
Since both sides have the same dimension, it is an isomorphism.
We denote Cl(V,Q) by ℂl(V) in this case.
By induction we then have ℂl(ℂ 2m)≅ℂl(ℂ 2m−2)⊗ℂl(ℂ 2).
The odd dimensional case is similar.
The structure of the real Clifford algebras is dictated by the super Brauer group.
A superalgebra is called a super division algebra if all nonzero homogeneous elements are invertible.
We will write CS superalgebra for short.
The following is proven in Varadarajan 04, Theorem 6.4.1.
The super Brauer group sBr(ℝ) is isomorphic to ℤ/8ℤ.
Let D ℝ=ℝ[ϵ] be the superalgebra with ϵ odd and ϵ 2=1.
Let (V,Q) be a quadratic vector space.
We have Cl(r,s) +≅Cl(r,s−1) as ungraded algebras.
Therefore we can read off the spin representations from the above classification table.
Consider for example the group Spin(3,1)⊂Cl(3,1) +≅Cl(3,0)≅M 2(ℂ).
This has two simple modules as a real algebra, ℂ 2 and its conjugate.
We know what 𝔤 0 and 𝔤 1 should be in our case.
Therefore we need to concentrate on invariant symmetric forms κ.
This can be found in Varadarajan 04, Table 6.4.
Let V be a complex vector space.
Moreover, observe that Λ r(V)≅Λ d−r(V).
The proof for the odd dimensional case is similar.
This time the results are much more complex in the real case.
The case most important for us, however, is that of Minkowski signature.
Therefore here we first recall the classification and properties of spin representations in general.
This allows to form the super Poincaré Lie algebra in each of these cases.
See there and see Spinor bilinear forms below for more.
Accordingly one can ask for the Lie algebra cohomology of super Minkowski spacetime.
This we come to below.
This is the (2,1)-topos of smooth groupoids/smooth (moduli) stacks.

This is a symmetric monoidal (∞,n)-category under the objectwise Cartesian product in H.

Depending on the models chosen, there are different concrete realizations of nonabelian cohomology.
This is, most generally, the setup of “nonabelian cohomology”.

This has been called (Toën) the Whitehead principle of nonabelian cohomology.

Left-lifting is generally rather trickier.
See HKRS15 and GKR18 for the lifting of accessible wfs.
Then any anodyne map in D is a weak equivalence.
Note that this condition also dualizes straightforwardly to the left-transferred case.
We need to show that then also the top morphism f is a weak equivalence.
By the induced model structure, this is checked by applying U.
A counterexample is provided as Example 3.7 of (Goerss & Schemmerhorn 2007).
So, the acyclicity condition fails.
However, substitution in type theory is strictly associative.
On this page we define and compare them all.
Why is this duplication of notions desirable?
The trouble with the syntax is that it is mathematically tricky to handle.
Conversely, why not work only with contextual categories, dispensing with syntax entirely?
In all the definitions, C will be a category.
Generally, we will regard the objects of C as contexts in a type theory.
So far, we do not assume anything about C as a category.
In this way, we obtain: Lemma

Here we summarize some basic known constructions.
However, first we should mention the examples that come from type theory itself.
The syntactic category of any dependent type theory has all of the above structures.
The strict associativity of substitution in type theory makes this fibration automatically split.
There are standard constructions which can replace any Grothendieck fibration by an equivalent split fibration.
So, for the record, we have in particular: Example
Suppose given a particular morphism p:U˜→U in C.
We are thus treating U as a “universe” of types.
We may then of course pass to a contextual category, via example .
This construction is due to Voevodsky.
The resulting display maps are those with “U-small fibers”.
The resulting display maps are the split opfibrations with small fibers.
Define the functor E→C I to take (Γ,A) to the projection Γ×A→Γ.
It is straightforward to check that this defines a category with attributes.
The corresponding (split) full comprehension category is called the simple fibration of C.
First one defines a model category Lcc of lcc sketches.
These marked diagrams do not need to satisfy the corresponding universal property, however.
Thus sLcc supports substitutions that preserve type formers up to equality.

Sometimes a generalization to categories of finitely generated projectives over a ring is considered.
The theory has applications both in algebraic geometry and algebraic topology.
A graded modality is a graded monad with idempotent components.
Earlier work in philosophy includes Lou Goble, 1970.
These are sometimes called full embeddings.
Probably the most common embedding of categories encountered is the Yoneda embedding.
Either of these may be considered a Tychonoff theorem for locales.
Let {U i⊂X×Y} i∈I be an open cover of the product space.
We need to show that this has a finite subcover.
Consider then the disjoint union of all these index sets K≔⊔i∈IK i.
This is homeomorphic to the abstract point space *.
and there is thus a homeomorphism of the form {x}×Y≃Y.
This characterization allows an elementary proof of the general Tychonoff theorem, see there.
This proof is due to (Chernoff 92).
This in turn is equivalently the case if every net has a cluster point.
We will show that this is the case for the product of compact spaces.
We need to show that this has a cluster point.
Equip this with the partial order ≤ given by the evident extension of domains.
To this end we invoke Zorn's lemma.
Hence we may conclude by showing that c is indeed a partial cluster point.
One method of proof uses ultrafilter convergence.
This is sometimes called “Bourbaki’s proof”, following Cartan 37.
Let ⟨X α⟩ α∈A be a family of compact spaces.
(Consider the collection of all closed sets belonging to U α.
Let x α be a point belonging to that intersection.
Let U be an ultrafilter on ∏ αX α.
Choose a point x α to which U α converges.
Using notation explained just below, this can expressed as follows
These observations give rise to the following question.
This is done by judicious choice of examples.
Let Y α be obtained by adjoining a point p to X α.
Then Y α is compact; assuming Tychonoff, Y=∏ αY α is compact.
Hence ∏ αX α=⋂ αK α is nonempty as well, by compactness.
Thus the axiom of choice follows.
We are in the case where the external space is just a point.
This simple example captures the analogy with ordinary frame fields.
The situation with regard to colimits is more complicated.
(See Adámek & Koubek, III.10, for an example when C= Pos.)
In this article we collect various results that guarantee existence of colimits of algebras.
A simple but basic fact is the following.
Under these hypotheses, U:C T→C creates colimits over J.
Here are some sample applications of this proposition which arise frequently in practice.
A colimit over J is called a reflexive coequalizer.
The following very useful observation was first made by Linton.
It is enough to show that Set T has coequalizers.
(This requires the axiom of choice.
The proof is completed by the following lemma.
A split coequalizer is an absolute colimit, which the functor T preserves.
Categories of algebras are Barr exact Theorem
For regularity, we first construct coequalizers of kernel pairs in C T.
Thus kernel pairs in C T have coequalizers.
It is the coequalizer of its kernel pair π 1,π 2:E⇉B.
Thus Up is a regular epi in C.
Thus regular epis in C T are stable under pullback.
It is the kernel pair of its coequalizer q in C.
If T is a monad on Vect, then Vect T is exact.
Details may be found in Locally presentable and accessible categories.
Algebraic functors have left adjoints
This completes the proof of the claim.
The tangle hypothesis (Baez and Dolan 95) is as follows:
The tangle hypothesis has been generalized to allow certain structures on the tangles.

Let R be a discrete integral domain.
We say that an element r∈R is a unit if it is invertible.
The ring of (rational) integers ℤ is a UFD.
A principal ideal domain (PID) is a UFD.
(In particular, a Euclidean domain is a UFD.)
As a partial converse, a Dedekind domain that is a UFD is a PID.
If R is a UFD, then so is any localization S −1R.
If R is not integrally closed, then it is not a UFD.
As noted above, a UFD is necessarily integrally closed.
The lattice of principal ideals under the inclusion order is a distributive lattice.
Write Ω for the tree category, the site for dendroidal sets.

Let C be an abelian category.
See there for more details.
Similar comments apply to the various other model structures below.
See Bousfield2003, section 4.4.
Let A be an abelian category with enough injective objects.
This follows an analogous proof in (Jardine 97).
We spell out a proof of the model structure below in a sequence of lemmas.
For n=0 let ℤ[−1,0]=0, for convenience.
Let p:A→≃B be degreewise surjective and an isomorphism on cohomology.
But in degree 0 this means that f 0(1)=0.
And so the unique possible lift in the above diagram does exist.
Consider now ℤ[n]→ℤ[n−1,n] for n≥1.
Since p is degreewise onto, there is a′ with p(a′)=b.
Choosing this the above becomes p(a)=p(z)−g n−1(1)+p(d Aa′).
Finally consider 0→ℤ[n] for all n.
Set then σ:=a−d Aa′.
For n=0 this is trivial.
Such exists because p is degreewise surjctive by assumption.
So assume f has the RLP.
In particular this means it is surjective in cohomology.
Apply the small object argument-reasoning to the maps in J={0→ℤ[n−1,n]}.
Since for n∈ℕ a morphism ℤ[n,n+1]→B corresponds to an element b∈B n.
The map p is manifestly degreewise onto and hence a fibration.
This series of lemmas establishes the claimed model structure on Ch + •(Ab).
the cofibrations are exactly the monomorphisms.
This proves the first statement.
a short proof is given in Strickland (2020), Prop. 25.
This is Hovey (1999), Thm. 2.3.13.
Let 𝒜 be an abelian category with all limits and colimits.
The cofibrations, fibrations and weak equivalences all depend on the projective class.
This is theorem 2.2 in Christensen-Hovey.
We shall write Ch(𝒜) 𝒫 for this model category structure.
Let R be an associative ring and 𝒜=RMod.
The 𝒫-model structure on Ch(𝒜) has as fibrations the degreewise surjections.
Let 𝒜 be a Grothendieck abelian category.
A third approach is due to Cisinski-Deglise.
Let 𝒜 be a Grothendieck abelian category.
Now one defines a model structure associated to any such descent structure.
We call this the 𝒢-model structure on Ch(𝒜).
As in Gillespie’s approach we can sometimes get a monoidal model structure.
We refer to Cisinski-Deglise for the notion of a weakly flat descent structure.
Then the 𝒢-model structure is further monoidal.
Model categories of chain complexes tend to be proper model categories.
Proposition (pushout along degreewise injections presrves quasi-isomorphism)
Then also g is a quasi-isomorphism.
Let 𝒜 and ℬ be abelian categories.
Every functor preserves split epimorphism.
Hence L preserves all cofibrations and R all fibrations.
Let 𝒜= Ab be the category of abelian groups.

In his thesis, Lurie proves the following.
Let F be a functor from connective E ∞-ring spectra to spaces s.t.
Hence E′ is represented by DM-stack (M,O′).
Recall the map A→τ ≥0A to the connected cover.
We need the following to prove the claim.
So we have F:Mod flat(τ ≥0A)↔Mod flat(A):G.
Recall that a preorientation determines a map β:ω→π 2(O′).
This formula comes from a much simpler situation…
(M,O) classifies oriented elliptic curve.
Suppose (1) and (2) hold.
Let f:SpecR→M 1,1 be etale for R discrete.
We must show that O(SpecR) is an elliptic cohomology theory associated to f.
We must show that SpfA 0(ℂP ∞)≃E^ f which follows from having an orientation.
Reducing to a Local Calculation
We wish to show that π nO=0 for n odd.
That M:=p iim(f k)=0 is equivalent to M⊗ RR/m for all m∈R.
The structure sheaf of O′ took values in connected E ∞-rings.
For instance, the constant sheaf ℤ p̲ is a p-divisible group.
Let A be an E ∞-ring.
We have a derived version of the Serre-Tate theorem.
Let ℑ:R−alg→Ab and ℑ I(A):=ker(ℑ(A)→ℑ(A/I⋅A).
Further, define ℑ¯(A):=ker(ℑ(A)→ℑ(A/nilR⋅A))⊂ℑ I(A).
Let R be a ring with p nilpotent and I⊂R a nilpotent ideal.
Let R 0=R/I.
This functor lifts to E ∞-rings.
Then tmf and taf are low height approximations.
π:E ∞ LT→FG is a weak equivalence of topological categories.
That is, the lift above is pretty unique.
Then ℑ fits in an exact sequence 0→ℑ^→ℑ→ℑ et→0.

Ordinary monads are then the special case where J is the identity functor.

Let R be a commutative ring.
A polynomial with coefficients in R is an element of a polynomial ring over R.
Finally, sometimes “polynomial” is construed to mean a polynomial function.
This is actually just a particular instantiation of a definable operation.
A polynomial is constant if its degree is 0.
Polynomial rings on one generator also have the structure of a differential algebra.
Thus the univariate polynomial ring R[z] is a differential algebra.
This carries also a ring structure, with ring multiplication induced from the monoid multiplication.
A far-reaching generalization of this construction is given at distributive law.
The elements of this component are called homogeneous polynomials of degree n.
Using R-linearity, this is directly seen to yield the desired bijection.
This is a special case of the more general notion of Tall-Wraith monoid.
Let R be a commutative ring.
If deg(f)<deg(g), then q=0 and r=f will serve.
If k is field, then k[x] is a Euclidean domain.

This observation may be exploited in various neat ways.
The derivative of p may be defined to be q(x,x)∈k[x].
The non-invertible elements in a weak local ring form an ideal.
Therefore, 𝒞 covers X, so it has a finite subcover U i.
Stable closure implies compactness
The converse statement requires more ingenuity to prove.
Clearly such W are closed under arbitrary unions.
Now consider the set E={(x,U)∈X×Y:x∈U}.
But then V is all of X!
So X∈Σ for any directed open cover Σ; therefore X is compact.

There is also a notion of special lambda-ring.
The name derives from the common symbol Λ n for the nth exterior power.
Hence λ-rings are one incarnation of the representation theory of the symmetric groups.
Typically one can form direct sums of representations of some algebraic structure.
But nobody likes commutative monoids: we all have an urge to subtract.
In many situations, we can also take tensor products of representations.
Then the Grothendieck group becomes something better than an abelian group.
It becomes a ring: the representation ring.
If we start with a braided monoidal abelian category, this ring is commutative.
This category is very important in representation theory.
The irreducible objects in this category are called ‘Young diagrams’.
Elements of the free λ-ring on one generator are called symmetric functions.
L gives rise to a comonad on CRing.
R is in this case called a λ-ring.

Moreover given any two prime numbers then their Adams operations commute with each other.
The following two theorems are crucial for the “heterodox” point of view.
Let {ψ p} be a commuting family of Frobenius lifts.
Now we will argue that these statements hold for arbitrary commutative rings.
Let i:CRing ¬tor↪CRing be the inclusion.
Let W ′ denote this comonad on CRing ¬tor.
Then a) W≔Lan ii∘W ′:CRing→CRing is a comonad.
c) W is the big-Witt-vectors functor.
The “heterodox” generalizes to arbitrary Dedekind domains with finite residue field.
This is originally due to Alexander Grothendieck.

Next we show how to construct B cris.
Once again we take A inf(𝒪 ℂ p) and invert p.
We can then define V dR=(V⊗B dR) Gal ℚ p

Let see what are the smallest commutative boolean rigs
The only boolean rig of cardinal 1 is the zero ring 0.
There are exactly two boolean rings of cardinal 2.
The two elements of the boolean rings are thus 0 and 1.
We then have two possibilities for 1+1, either 0 or 1.
The two possibilities give a boolean rig.
Homotopy type theory is a 2-theory defined in this 3-theory.
Here the first four 3-theories are ordered in terms of increasing expressivity.
Let us begin by describing the link group.
Milnor’s alternative description is as follows.
The link group is the group of equivalence classes of such loops.
A more practical description is the following.
Let L be a link in an open 3-manifold M.
Let G(L) be the fundamental group of the complement of L.
Let L i denote the sublink obtained by deleting the ith component of L.
Let E(L)=[A 1][A 2]⋯[A n]. This is a normal subgroup of G(L).
The quotient, 𝒢(L)≔G(L)/E(L) is the link group of L.
These are the meridians and the parallels.
Choose orientations of the ambient manifold, M, and of the circle.
The ith meridian of L is the element α i∈𝒢(L) defined as follows.
Choose a small neighbourhood N of p(1).
Then return to x 0 along p.
The subgroup 𝒜 i is the kernel of the homomorphism 𝒢(L)→𝒢(L i).
Go along p to its end.
Then go around the image of L i according to the orientation of the circle.
Finally return to x 0 along p.
Let f, f′ be closed loops in the complement of L.
Let L be an n-component Brunnian link.
Then we consider the element β′ n∈𝒢(L n) corresponding to the nth parallel.
The homotopy class of L is completely specified by these integers.
There was nothing special about the choice of components.
A similar procedure works for any pair of components.
Let us expand on the definition of the μ-invariants.
We start with the exponential notation.
Let J𝒢(L) be the integral group ring of 𝒢(L).
We write the kernel of J𝒢(L)→J𝒢(L i) as 𝒦 i(L).
Now let us suppose that L is trivial.
A canonical sentence is a sum or difference of any number of canonical words.
Sorting them out by permutation, we get the expression in (1).
Now, how do we interpret or calculate these invariants?
Consider a canonical word, k i 1⋯k i n−2.
The corresponding element is: α n−1 k i 1⋯k i n−2
Let us write α=α n−1.
Now α k 1 is α a 1−1=a 1αa 1 −1α −1.
So the general method is as follows: choose two components of the link.
Write one of them as a word in the meridians of the others.

Of course, finite limits are preserved by all three completions.
However, the inclusion functors do not preserve coequalizers.
In fact, the objects of C are precisely the projective objects of these categories.
A similar argument applies to the reg/lex completion.
Note that Top reg/lex is called the category of equilogical spaces.
On the other hand, some properties are not preserved by the completions.

There are two different ways of thinking of topological notions on Frölicher spaces.
However, this would definitely be a theorem.
Let us start by defining the two functors to topological spaces.
As it is an inductive topology, the curvaceous topology has the following characterisation.
That is, these sets form a subbasis? for the topology.
Using the structure of the functionals, we can strengthen that.
Let (X,C X,F X) be a Frölicher space.
Thus let U⊆X be open and p∈U.
Then the composition g∘f has the required properties.
Let us start with some very simple definitions.
A Frölicher space is said to be discrete if all functions are smooth.
Hence all curves are smooth.
The discrete case is similar.
A Frölicher space is said to be functionally Hausdorff if the smooth functions separate points.
However, the distinction is not important as the following lemma shows.
Suppose that (X,C,F) is not functionally Hausdorff.
Then ϕ∘α is constant for all ϕ∈F so α∈C.
However, α has finite image but is not constant.
Thus (X,C,F) is not curvaceously Hausdorff.
Then there is some α∈C with finite image which is not constant.
Then ϕ∘α has finite image in ℝ and hence is constant.
If a Frölicher space is Hausdorff then smooth functions separate points.
Thus for x≠y∈X, there is a smooth function ϕ∈F with ϕ(x)=−1 and ϕ(y)=1.
Suppose that X with the curvaceous topology is Hausdorff.
In light of this, we shall refer to just Hausdorff Frölicher spaces.
Just as with topological spaces, there is a “Hausdorffification” functor.
Unlike topological spaces, this functor is split.
Let (X,C,F) be a Frölicher space.
The natural map X→Y is a quotient mapping in the category of Frölicher spaces.
It is split, but not canonically so.
However, any two splittings are related by a diffeomorphism on X.
The smooth curves are then defined by the saturation condition.
That this is a quotient is straightforward.
This also establishes the necessary adjunction.
Finally, let us look at the splitting.
For each point in Y choose a representative of the equivalence class.
This choice defines a map on the underlying sets Y→X.
The fibres of the Hausdorffification are straightforward to identify.
Let X be a Frölicher space, Y its Hausdorffification.
For y∈Y, let X y be the corresponding fibre.
Let α:ℝ→X y be an arbitrary curve.
Then for ϕ∈F X, as imα⊆X y, ϕ∘α is constant.
Conversely, let Z⊆X be a subset that inherits an indiscrete structure from X.
This is then smooth in X so for all ϕ∈F X, ϕ(x)=ϕ(y).
Hence Z is contained in a (unique) fibre of the quotient map X→Y.
Our next definition may be a little surprising at first.
A Frölicher space is said to be regular if the curvaceous and functional topologies agree.
It is straightforward to see what one version of compactness should be.
A Frölicher space is functionally compact if every smooth function has bounded image.
For the converse, assume that the functional topology is not compact.
We claim that it is possible to modify these to have disjoint support.
This is done recursively using postcomposition by suitably chosen functions.
Once this is done, we can define a new smooth function by ∑nϕ n^.
This is smooth, as the components have disjoint support, and is unbounded.
Hence the Frölicher space is not functionally compact.
Thus the Frölicher space is regular.
The property needed is about open sets in the product ℝ×X.
For Frölicher spaces, this property is equivalent to sequential compactness.
Let X be a Frölicher space.
Suppose that X is sequentially compact.
Let U⊆ℝ×X be a subset containing {0}×X.
Hence U is not open.
Conversely, assume that neighbourhoods of {0}×X contain slices as claimed.
That is, c −1(U) is not open in ℝ.
Another obvious topological property is connectedness.
Here it is obvious what the two definitions should be.
follows from the fact that piecewise smooth curves can be reparametrised to smooth curves.
The notions of functionally connected and curvaceously connected coincide.
Let (X,C,F) be a Frölicher space.
To do this, let X′⊆X be a curvaceously connected component of X.
Thus ϕ∘α is a constant function.
Hence the two notions are the same.
The category of Hausdorff Frölicher spaces is thus complete and co-complete.
Do I need to prove this, or is it automatic?
(I can prove it if necessary)
Mike: Completeness and cocompleteness are of course automatic.
Both seem quite simple, not sure which is the simplest.
We shall not give the inclusion functors special symbols but trust to context to distinguish.
Let 𝔉:I→ℳ be a functor where I is a small category.
Its underlying set is (naturally isomorphic to) ℱ(*,X 0).
Composing with the β i defines maps β ix:*→𝔉.
Hence the underlying sets of M 0 and X 0 are the same.
The smooth curves of X 0 are the morphisms ℝ→X 0.
Note that this is in ℱ not ℋ.
This morphism factors uniquely through the Hausdorffification of X 1.
Firstly, let us show that ν is surjective on underlying sets.
To see this, suppose for a contradiction that it is not.
Let x∈|M 1| be a point not in the image of ν.
Let N=M 1﹨{x}.
Hence X 1→M 1 is surjective.
We also have that the smooth functions on X 1 factor through M 1.
Thus let x,y be distinct points in the Hausdorffification of X 1.
There is thus a smooth function on X 1 which distinguishes them.
Thus the inclusion functor ℳ→ℋ preserves colimits.
Does the inclusion into Frölicher spaces then preserve colimits?
Let X be the real line with a double point at the origin.
Take a curve ℝ→X which oscillates between the two points.
This is a morphism into the Frölicher space, but not into the manifold.
These four names have different reasons behind the use of the name:

In type theory the unit type is the type with a unique term.
It is the special case of a product type with no factors.
In a model by categorical semantics, this is a terminal object.
In set theory, it is a singleton.
The formation rule for the unit type is given by ΓctxΓ⊢𝟙type
the introduction rule for the unit type is given by ΓctxΓ⊢*:𝟙
The positive unit type says that 𝟙 satisfies singleton induction.
Thus, the unit type satisfies singleton induction.
Thus, the unit type is a contractible type.
The positive unit type is a contractible type.
We define it as f(π 1(p S))≔π 1(p T).
Thus, f is an equivalence of types between the contractible types S and T.
The positive and negative unit types are equivalent to each other.
We inductively define the type family x:𝟙⊢El 𝟙(x)type by defining El 𝟙(*)≔𝟙
Thus the univalence axiom for 𝟙 is true.
This makes the unit type into a Tarski universe representing a finite regular cardinal.
This makes the unit type into a Tarski universe representing a finite inaccessible cardinal.
The β-reduction rule is simple.
The positive presentation of the unit type is naturally expressed as an inductive type.
(Coq then implements beta-reduction, but not eta-reduction.
However, there is an η-conversion rule.
Namely: The negative unit type corresponds to a terminal object in a category

Contents Idea The Stern-Gerlach experiment showed that electrons are spinors.
It was the first experimental observation of the elementary spin 12 of fermions.
We also say that A has the Baire property.
This entry is about the notion of “crystal” in algebraic geometry.
For the notion in solid state physics see at crystal.
There are few mutually unrelated notions denoted by “crystal” in mathematics.
One can of course talk about mathematical models of physical crystals and their geometry.
Finally, there are crystals due Grothendieck to which this entry is dedicated.
Grothendieck‘s differential calculus is based on the infinitesimal thickenings of a diagonal of a space.
If one takes a completion, then there is a filtration on infinitesimals there.
Infinitesimal version of flat connection in algebraic geometry is a Grothendieck connection.
There is a site (the crystalline site) which formalizes these descent data.
But Grothendieck considered not only descent for quasicoherent sheaves but also for affine schemes.
Moreover this has also a crystalline version: crystals of affine schemes.
One has also analytic version (analytic D-spaces).
One can do more general crystals, e.g. of affine schemes.
(In other words, transfinite unions are van Kampen colimits.)
One may obtain various weaker notions by restricting the allowable values of κ.
The category Set is easily verified to be exhaustive.
Thus, every Grothendieck topos is exhaustive.
We first prove the equivalence of the above two definitions.
Then C also satisfies the second condition above.
Exhaustiveness also interacts well with other exactness properties:
Colimits in an exhaustive category preserve finite limits.
But κ is a filtered category, so its diagonal functor is final.
In an exhaustive category, transfinite unions preserve monomorphisms.
That’s the feature of SYK that I find most interesting…

2 S is a quasitopos because it is a Heyting algebra.
The former are usually denoted K(n) and the latter are often denoted T(n).
Introducing Berger's theorem:
The empty space is the topological space with no points.
That is, it is the empty set equipped with its unique topology.
The empty space is the (strict) initial object in TopologicalSpaces.
However, in some ways these definitions are too naive.
Since hom(∅,−) is constant at the point, it certainly does not preserve coproducts.
See too simple to be simple for general theory.
All these are conical sets.
Logical operations are implemented by universal constructions on subobjects.
This morphism might be restricted to be a display map or a fibration.
Thus, a model of T in C is equally well a functor Syn(T)→C.
See internalization for a discussion of the more general notion in the context of doctrines.
The signature of the theory consists of Various types A,B,C.
Function symbols of source 1 are also called constants.
For example, the theory of a poset has one type P and one relation ≤:P×P.
Finally the theory may contain logical axioms of the form Γ|φ⊢ψ.
First, for each type in the theory we choose an object of C.
However, in linear logic such operations become less innocuous.)
(We define “negation” by ¬φ≡φ⇒⊥.)
The same happens in most other cases.
We can describe it more simply as a “translation of theories” as follows.
This is called the Soundness Theorem.
There are (at least) three caveats.
(We will not spell out the details of what this means.)
This is particularly important for formulas involving disjunction and existence.
This is noticeably less trivial.
The universal property of C T is also sometimes useful for semantic conclusions.
This topos is called the classifying topos of the theory.
To be written, but see Kripke-Joyal semantics.
The logical operation ∧=AND is the product in the poset L.
We find the value of the internal hom by its defining adjunction.
As remarked above, this is the case in many toposes.
For n∈ℕ let Spin(n) denote the spin group, regarded as a topological group.
This is shown in (FSS).
Write |−|:=|Π(−)|:Smooth∞Grpd→Π∞Grpd→|−|Top for the intrinsic geometric realization in Smooth∞Grpd.

In particular, the type of natural numbers is an h-set.
This can be proven from Theorem below.
In a set-level type theory, all types are h-sets.
This is proven in (KECA).
This is Theorem 7.2.2 in the HoTT Book.
A proof of this theorem could be found in Hedberg's theorem.
(Not to be confused with the other meaning of internal set.)

Fundamental physics is all based on the gauge principle.
The simplest example of this is described in detail below in Gauge transformations in electromagnetism.
Such a structure is called a groupoid.
At least ordinary gauge fields do.
These ∞-groupoids are also called homotopy types.
This is what we discuss here.
Here we make this explicit for basic electromagnetism.
For more exposition and details along these lines see (Eggertson 14).
However, not all different gauge potentials describe different physics.
And it is not quite a smooth space itself, but a smooth groupoid:
One says that λ induces a gauge transformation from A to A′.
We write λ:A→≃A′ to reflect this.
So the configuration space of electromagnetism does not just have points and coordinate systems.
But it turns out that this is too little information to correctly capture physics.
This is the discrete gauge groupoid for U-parameterized collections of fields.
It refines the gauge group, which is recoverd as its fundamental group:
We then also want to consider a smooth action groupoid.
We call them smooth groupoids.
But there is a further simplification at work.
For more on this see at geometry of physics – coordinate systems.
Here we will freely assume familiarity with these.
The Yoneda lemma will turn this intuition into a theorem.
It also justifies dropping the extra underline denoting the Yoneda embedding.
A particular case of this of special importance is this: Example
There is then a unique composition operation.
. Let G be a Lie group and BG its groupoidal delooping according to example .
This is precisely the data of a G-valued Cech cohomology cocycle.
More along these lines is at geometry of physics – principal bundles.
So a smooth groupoid is a stack on the site CartSp.
But this is equivalently the groupoid of G-principal bundles on ℝ n.
Therefore this is an essentially surjective functor of groupoids.
Accordingly it is an equivalence of groupoids.
Put positively, this is the content of prop. . below.
This extends to a functor (D n) *:PreSmooth1Type⟶Grpd
We write X⟶≃Y for local weak equivalences of pre-smooth groupoids.
We will mostly just say weak equivalence for short.
This means that each of these connected components is equivalent to the point.
Hence this is a an equivalence of groupoids.
p is a weak equivalence, def. .
This is precisely the definition of differentialbly good open cover.
By prop. the object (BG) • satisfies descent on CartSp.
Choose {U i→X} a differentiably good open cover.
This is equivalently the groupoid of G-principal bundles.
We need structures a bit richer than just bare ∞-groupoids.
In generalization to Lie groupoids, we need ∞-Lie groupoids.
This is equivalently a simplicial presheaf of sets.
These would-be invertible morphisms are called weak equivalences and denoted K 1→≃K 2.
This is sometimes called an ∞-anafunctor from X to Y.
We give a more intrinsic characterization of differential 1-forms.
the constant path is sent to 0.
This statement is the Bianchi identity.
See also at differential forms on simplices.
We write Ω si •(U×Δ k) for this sub-dg-algebra.
(Duistermaat-Kolk 00, section 1.14, see also the example below).
But people are working on it.
Then we have a smooth function f:Δ k∖K→Λ i k∖K.
Let 𝔤∈L ∞ be an ordinary (finite dimensional) Lie algebra.
With G regarded as a smooth ∞-group write BG∈ Smooth∞Grpd for its delooping.
See Cohesive ∞-groups – Lie groups for details.
This follows from the Steenrod-Wockel approximation theorem and the following observation.
We may call this the line Lie n-algebra.
Write B nℝ for the smooth line (n+1)-group.
The only nontrivial degree to check is degree n.
Let λ∈Ω si,vert,cl n(Δ n+1).
Hence ∫ Δ • is indeed a chain map.
Inside the ϵ-neighbourhoods of the corners it bends smoothly.
In that case there is an (n−1)-form A with ω=dA.
One way of achieving this is using Hodge theory.
Since the k-form ω is exact its projection on harmonic forms vanishes.
This is the string Lie 2-group.
It’s construction in terms of integration by paths is due to (Henriques)
Let 𝒜 be an additive category.
This is the category of chain complexes in 𝒜.
Several variants of this category are of relevance.
This is sometimes called the homotopy category of chain complexes.
See at derived category for more on this.
We discuss the ingredients that go into this statement.
From here on, this page uses the implicit ∞-category theory convention.
Recall that colimits in Topos are calculated via limits on the level of underlying categories.
In particular, the copower of K by a groupoid A is the topos K A.
Therefore, we have Topos(Psh(A),H)≃GPD(A,Topos(*,H))=GPD(A,Pt(H)), as desired.
Another way of phrasing the above argument is as follows.
Enlarging the category of toposes
Applied to a representable F=Topos(−,H) this composite is hence A↦Γ(H)(A).

That is, we are discussing objects of an equationally presentable or algebraic category.
An obvious horizontal categorification of Ω-groups is also interesting.
The supergravity equations of motion typically imply the torsion constraints.

Hence this implies solutions to the ordinary vacuum Einstein equations in 11d.
These authors do not state explicitly that ϕ αβ∝tr(λ αλ β)−tr(TT).
Hermann Schwarz was a German mathematician.
His PhD students include Lipót Fejér and Ernst Zermelo.
The class of unirational varieties is a natural generalization of a class of rational varieties.
This concept is the formal dual to internal groupoids in the opposite category of CRing.
As such they play a key role in the E-Adams spectral sequence.
But it may happen that they coincide:
Write ΓCoMod for the resulting category of (left) comodules over Γ.
Analogously there are right comodules.
This establishes a natural bijection N⟶fΓ⊗ ACN⟶f˜C and hence the adjunction in question.
The argument for the existence of cokernels proceeds formally dually.
Now by prop. we have the adjunction ΓCoMod⊥⟶forget⟵co−freeAMod.
See at Adams spectral sequence – The second page.
Therefore it constitutes a co-free resolution of A in left Γ-comodules.
Therefore it computes the Ext-functor.
The Hopf algebroids appearing this way govern the corresponding E-Adams spectral sequences.
This is manifestly the case.
Now we may identify the commutative Hopf algebroids arising from flat commutative ring spectra.
This page considers Picard groupoids in themselves.
For the concept of Picard groupoid of a monoidal category, see there.
On this page, we shall, however, work with the fully strict notion.
Picard groupoids assemble into a strict 2-category.
Moreover, it is obvious that this category has all coproducts.
Thus it is an additive category.
This is a stable version of the 1-truncated homotopy hypothesis.
In a nonabelian bundle gerbe the bundle L is generalized to a bibundle.
(For more along these lines see infinity-Chern-Weil theory introduction.
For the analogous nonabelian case see also nonabelian bundle gerbe.)
For applications in string theory see also B-field, WZW model.
The notion of bundle gerbe as such was introduced in
In degree 0 these are simply the smooth functions on X.
In degree 1 these are simply the tangent vector fields on X.
In degree p these are sometimes called the p-vector fields on X.
Even more generally, see Poincaré duality for Hochschild cohomology.
A notion of ∞-topos is a generalization of that of topos to higher category theory.

Superselection theory is about identifying superselection sectors in quantum field theory.

This is equivalently a representable functor defined on the opposite category C op.

; see the books of Hirschhorn and Hovey.
There is a dual argument for colimits using cofibrant replacements.
Formal versions of this argument can be found in many places.
See there for more details.
Above we defined homotopy (co)limits in general.
There are various more specific formulas and algorithms for computing homotopy (co)limits.
Here we discuss some of these Ordinary (co)limits on resolved diagrams
This is sometimes called the Quillen formula for computing homotopy colimits.
Often, however, it is inconvenient to produce a resolution of a diagram.
One such way is the use of derived (co)ends, discussed below.
Let D be a small V-enriched category.
A general way of obtaining resolutions that compute homotopy (co)limits involves bar constructions.
We call this the natural or trivial homotopical structure on C.
For n=1 this is trivial.
For n=2 it is proven in (Gambino 10) (particularly section 6).
However, even this is not true for all types of homotopy limit.
An explicit proof that Ho(Cat) does not have pullbacks can be found here.
This is the tensor unit in the monoidal category [D op,sSet].
This is disucssed for instance in section 4 of (Gambino 10).
See Bousfield-Kan map.
Let in the above general formula D={a←c→b} be the walking span.
Ordinary colimits parameterized by such D are pushouts.
Homotopy colimits over such D are homotopy pushouts.
In this simple case, we have the following simple observation: Observation
Here we consider special cases of homotopy pullback in more detail.
The object A is the homotopy kernel or homotopy fiber of B→C.
As a special case of the above general example we get the following.
Let C= Grpd equipped with the canonical model structure.
Write pt for the terminal groupoid (one object, no nontrivial morphism).
Notice that there is a unique functor pt→BG.
Then we have holim( pt ↓ pt → BG)⟶≃G.
Then, colim(ρ)=X/G whereas hocolim(ρ)=EG× GX, see equivariant cohomology.
(See for instance at Hecke category for an application.)
To see this, we again build a fibrant replacement of the pullback diagram.
The following says that this is in fact a homotopy colimit, up to equivalence.
(simplicial set is homotopy colimit of its cells)
Every simplicial set is the homotopy colimit over its cells.
This kind of argument has many immediate generalizations.
The fat simplex is Reedy cofibrant.
This inclusion is a homotopy-initial functor.
See (Dugger, example 18.2).
It is one of the earliest formulas for there.
Let D be a category and F:D→ Top a functor.
The degeneracy maps similarly introduce identity morphisms.
This is an application of the bar-construction method.
See for instance (Dugger, part 1) for an exposition.

Descent objects as they appear in descent and codescent are naturally conceived as homotopy limits.
See also infinity-stack.

This is good motivation for what Grothendieck called “petit topos”-theory.
Let 𝒞 be a small category (Def. ).
A small category 𝒞 equipped with a coverage is called a site.
These are the differentiably good open covers.
we have (3)Y(κ i)(ϕ i)=Y(κ j)(ϕ j).
Let H be a sheaf topos (Def. ).
Here Γ is called the global sections-functor.
Since L is a left adjoint, it preserves this coproduct (Prop. ).
This shows that L exists and uniquely so, up to natural isomorphism.
This implies the essential uniqueness of Γ by uniqueness of adjoints (Prop. ).
Example (sheaves on the terminal category are plain sets)
Hence the category of sets is a sheaf topos.
One writes Sh(X)≔Sh(Op(X))↪AA[Op(X) op,Set], for short.
The sheaf toposes arising this way are also called spatial toposes.
Let Sh(𝒞) be a category of sheaves (Def. ).
We discuss some of the key properties of sheaf toposes:
By Example we may regard Grpd as a cosmos for enriched category theory.
Hence we may speak of presheaves of groupoids.
Let (𝒞,τ) be a site (Def. ).
Conversely, every sheaf topos arises this way.

These maps restrict to set theoretic maps on the level of stalks. Comorphisms.
For example, consider the ring of smooth functions on a manifold.
Another example which does not fit into this first type would be the directed circle.
See in particular the book by Marco Grandis on Directed Algebraic Topology listed below.
Directed spaces are studied in directed homotopy theory, a relatively young topic.
See (n,r)-category for more on that.

Further references are given in directed homotopy theory.
Conversely, in a field, you can divide by anything except zero.
The characteristic of a field states when (if ever) this happens.
It is straightforward to generalise from fields to other rings, and even rigs.
This generator is the characteristic of K, denoted charK.
If K is a ring, then we do the same for a negative integer n.
The characteristic of a field must be either zero or a prime number.
In other words, any extension of a field keeps the same characteristic.
If n is a positive natural number, then the characteristic of ℕ/n=ℤ/n is n.
More generally, every finite field has positive prime characteristic.
Every ordered field has characteristic 0.
The real numbers and complex numbers each form fields of characteristic 0.
Let 𝒞 be a locally presentable (∞,1)-category.
This entry is about the concept in category theory.
For (co)exponential functions see at exponential map and coexponential map.
It generalises the notion of function set, which is an exponential object in Set.
The above is actually a complete definition, but here we spell it out.
(Usually, C actually has all binary products.)
It can also be characterized as a distributivity pullback.
As before, let C be a category and X,Y∈C.
If X Y exists, then we say that X exponentiates Y.
(This requires that C have all binary products.)
A cocartesian coclosed category has all of these (and an initial object).
Of course, in any cartesian closed category every object is exponentiable and exponentiating.
It sends numbers a,b∈ℕ to the product a b=a×a×⋯×a(bfactors).
It yields for instance an exponentiation operation on the positive real numbers.
In particular, this includes locally compact Hausdorff spaces.
However, exponentiating objects do matter sometimes.
In Abstract Stone Duality, Sierpinski space is exponentiating.
Let 𝒞 be a category with finite limits and f:C→D a morphism in 𝒞.
In this case, we say that f is an exponentiable morphism in 𝒞.
The exponentiable morphisms in Top were characterized by Niefield.
The exponentiable morphisms in Locale and Topos which are embeddings were also characterized by Niefield.
The exponentiable morphisms in Cat are the Conduché functors.
Thus, a product of exponentiable objects is exponentiable.
Now suppose that C is a distributive category.
Thus in a distributive category, the exponentiable objects are closed under coproducts.
This includes notably Vogt's theorem on the rectification of homotopy coherent diagrams.
This level of generality is sometimes convenient.
We state the concise functorial definition of diagrams of the shape of categories.

This is a non-finite commuting diagram.

Writings Hermann Grassmann was a German polymath, 1809-1877.
The appreciation of Grassmann’s ideas took a long time:
For truth is eternal and divine.
The answer is as regretable as simple—it would not pay.
It is something that a respectable few seek to apply what they have already learnt.
Grassmann also had a profound influence on the thought of Gottlob Frege.
It allows classification of what would now be called ∞-bundles.
I didn’t pick that up.

One variation uses von Neumann algebras instead of C-star algebras.
In an open-closed QFT the cobordisms are allowed to have boundaries.
For a broader perspective see at brane.
But abstractly defined QFTs may arise from quantization of sigma models.
This gives these boundary data a geometric interpretation in some space.
This we discuss in the next section.
Particularly the A-model and the B-model are well understood.
There is also a mathematical structure called string topology with D-branes.
And typically these submanifolds themselves carry their own background gauge field data.
These may be quite far from having a direct interpretation as submanifolds of G.

I am not the most competent to do this succinctly enough…
Possibly that should go at differential forms on supermanifolds?
Ordinary differential forms on ORDINARY manifolds are the same as functions on odd tangent bundle.
I did not want to say anything about the generalization of differential forms on supermanifolds.
So it is NOT a different notion, but a different way to define it.
Then yes, that should be mentioned here too.
Notice that the terminology is slightly confusing: every topos is a coherent category.
Every coherent topos has enough points.
Often one means an infinite sequence, which is a sequence whose domain is infinite.
Sequences (especially finite ones) are often called lists in computer science.
The salient point is that i be cofinal as an embedding.
All of this applies in greater generality to families with index sets other than ℕ.
Here one replaces the domain ℕ by any arbitrary directed set.
In this case, we may want a slight generalisation that we call sequential nets.
Without WCC, however, this equivalence fails.
Sequence types also have their own extensionality principle, called sequence extensionality.
(Actually, these generalise quite nicely to net spaces.)
Let X be a smooth manifold.

We will be associating a fundamental p-brane with each invariant super L ∞-cocycle.
Computationally these correspond to certain identities satisfied by qadrilinear expressions in Majorana spinors.
These correspond to all the D-branes and to the M5-branes.
This we discuss in The super D-branes and the M5-brane
Next we descend these iterated central extensions to single but non-central higher cocycles.
This we discuss in Fields.
There turn out to be special relations among these.
Acordingly, this is now called the Green-Schwarz action functional.
(This is the Nambu-Goto action.
The graphics on the left is from (Duff 87).
For detailed exposition see at Structure Theory for Higher WZW Terms.
There is considerably more information in A^ p than in its curvature curv(A^ p+1)=μ p+2.
This phenomenon is indeed a consequence of the fundamental Green-Schwarz branes:
These solutions locally happen to have the same classification as the Green-Schwarz branes.
But rationally The brane bouquet allows to derive this from first principles:
We now explain all this in detail.
Externally this means the following: Proposition
We write sLieAlg for the resulting category of super Lie algebras.
This makes it immediate how to generalize to super L-infinity algebras:
Explicitly this means the following:
Let 𝔤 be a super L-∞ algebra.
(see at signs in supergeometry for more on this).
Some of this history is recalled in Stasheff 16.

The key observation for interpreting the following def. is this:
This is due to (FSS 12).
Establishing this is the only real work in prop. .
Hence ♭BG is the universal moduli stack for flat connections.
We find further characterization of this below in corollary , see remark .
This is no longer the case for general smooth ∞-groups G.
This we call the WZW term obtained by universal Lie integration from μ.
Essentially this construction originates in (FSS 13).
Above we discussed how a single L-∞ cocycle Lie integrates to a higher WZW term.
(The following statements are corollaries of FSS 13, section 5).
This follows with the recognition principle for L-∞ homotopy fibers.
With this the statement follows by lemma .
Notice that extending along consecutive cocycles is like the extension stages in a Whitehead tower.
The homotopy limit over that last cospan, in turn, is G^˜.
This implies the claim by the fact that homotopy limits commute with each other.
Corollary says that G^˜ is a bundle of moduli stacks for differential cohomology over G˜.
This is by the discussion below.
Here we discuss how these may descend to single cocycles with richer coefficients.
This is explained in some detail at principal bundle – In a (2,1)-topos.

This follows from the universality of colimits and the adjoint functor theorem.
For a locally presentable (∞,1)-category C, the following are equivalent.
C is locally cartesian closed.
(∞,1)-Colimits in C are stable under pullback.
C admits a presentation by a combinatorial locally cartesian closed model category.
C admits a presentation by a right proper Cisinski model category.
Since left adjoints preserve colimits, the first condition implies the second.
Suppose M is a right proper Cisinski model category.
Since left Quillen functors preserve homotopy colimits, the third condition implies the second.
The fifth condition implies the fourth, since the model structure therein is Cisinski.
It remains to show that the second condition implies the fifth.
For that, see this blog comment by Denis-Charles Cisinski.
This would be the “internal language” of C.
Some partial results in these directions are known.
Hence every presentable locally cartesian closed ∞-category interprets HoTT+FunExt.
This statement is not fully satisfactory for several reasons.
Firstly, it assumes local presentability.
Thus, the existence and behavior of a “universal model” is unclear.

By fiat, declare F to be a forgetful functor.
However, notice that these two conditions violate the principle of equivalence for categories.

Property-like structure becomes much more prevalent for higher categories.
See also lax-idempotent 2-monad.
Note that property-like structure is known in traditional logic as categorical structure.
Obviously, this term can be confusing in categorial logic!
Accordingly the obvious functors to Set are faithful not full.
Hence it should remember stuff and structure but forget properties.
More interestingly, we can factor the forgetful functor Ab→Set: Ab→Ab→Set∖{∅}→Set
Here, the first part is trivial because Ab→Set is faithful.
These operations are also invertible, up to equivalence.

By Hedberg's theorem, every type with an equivalence a#b≃(a= Tb)→𝟘 has decidable equality.
f is a strongly injective if f(x)#f(y) is logically equivalent to x#y.
Decidable strict inequality implies stable strict inequality, so it is usually called decidable inequality.
In the context of excluded middle, every strict inequality relation is decidable.
These monomorphisms are regular monomorphisms.
Similarly, it has all finite coproducts, and it has quotients of equivalence relations.
In fact, this category is a complete pretopos.
In classical mathematics, it is true that every set is an inequality space.

An orientation in generalized cohomology is a certain cohomology class.

There is no research we know of on AT categories.
Each of these assumptions obviously holds in any abelian category and in any pretopos.
The first 8 axioms are in fact universal Horn clauses in these predicates.
Here then are the AT exactness axioms.
Some of Freyd’s remarks in his original posting are included in parentheses.
The category is an effective regular category.
The arrow 0→1 is monic.
(“Note that it follows that all maps from 0 are monic.”)
By axiom 2, the map 0→1 is monic.
The unique map 0→0×X is monic since it has a retraction π 1:0×X→0.
Because we can take the pushout of a pair of monos 0→X, 0→Y.
Proposition Coproducts are disjoint.
Category of type A objects is abelian
If X is of type A, then we clearly have X≅0×X→π 10.
Conversely, suppose there exists p:X→0.
The full subcategory of type A objects is coreflective.
Thus the category of type A objects is comonadic.
Cokernels are defined dually, and can be formulated dually as certain pushouts.
Of course, 0 is a zero object in the category of type A objects.
Now suppose f:A→C is an epi in the category of type A objects.
The category of type A objects is an abelian category.
See Freyd-Scedrov, Categories, Allegories, 1.598 (p. 95).
Category of type T objects is a pretopos
Now we show that the full subcategory of type T objects is a pretopos.
Type T objects are characterized by this property.
There is exactly one morphism A→0.
On the other hand, 0×X is of type A since it projects to 0.
Thus X is of type T.
The initial object 0 is strict in the category of type T objects.
Hence T→0→T is the identity, and of course so is 0→T→0.
Proof Closure under products and subobjects is immediate from Lemma .
Closure under quotients and coproducts follows from axiom 4.
The full subcategory of objects of type T is a pretopos.
Corollary gives finite completeness, coproducts, and quotients of kernel pairs.
It follows that coproducts are universal in the category of T objects.
It is also effective regular by axiom 1, hence a pretopos.
Splitting into type A and type T objects
Hence the coreflector is a morphism of AT categories.
The functor F is faithful.
The functor F is left exact and therefore preserves kernels.
By axiom 8, F reflects isomorphisms.
It follows immediately from these two facts that F is faithful.
This completes Freyd’s “second task”.
(The third axiom provides the uniqueness condition.)”
We can now remove the existential from AE.

It still follows that one has fibration sequences in a category of fibrant objects.
It is the dual concept to projective cover.

Let X be a uniform space.
With excluded middle, we can take C′ to be C.
Another class of spaces for which this holds are compact ones.
Let X be compact regular.
Furthermore, X×X is also compact regular.
Let U be a neighborhood of the diagonal in X×X.
Now, G is the union of rectangular open neighborhoods A×B.
Note that since G is disjoint from the diagonal, any A×B⊆G satisfies A∩B=∅.
It remains to show that the uniform topology on X is the original one.
Clearly if U is an entourage then each U[x] is a neighborhood of x.
For any x∈X, there is an entourage V such that V x[x]×V x[x]⊆U.
Let W x be an entourage such that W x∘W x⊆V x.
Let W=W 1∩⋯∩W k; we claim W⊆U.
Every uniformly regular uniform space is a regular topological space in its uniform topology.
For if x≉ Uz, let V∘V⊆U and ¬W∪V=X×X.
Most of the axioms are obvious.
Thus, any uniform space gives rise to a uniform apartness space.
Sets with multifunctions as morphisms between them form a multicategory.

Thus the study of links and knots is inextricably intertwined.
A link is an embedding of a finite number of copies of the circle.
It is possible to generalise this to more varied sources and targets.
The Borromean rings above are an example of a Brunnian link with three components.
In fact, the categories of quasicoherent sheaves are glued.

Moreover, it says that this equivalences is exhibited by the analytic assembly map.

The countable random graph is the Fraisse limit of the class of finite graphs.

Linear logic deals with this by restricting our ability to duplicate or discard resources freely.
Linear logic is usually given in terms of sequent calculus.
Here we define the set of propositions:
Every propositional variable is a proposition.
However, the connectives and constants can also be grouped in different ways.
But on this page we will stick to Girard’s conventions for consistency.
Also, sometimes the additive connectives are called extensional and the multiplicatives intensional.
The additive connectives are also idempotent (but the multiplicative ones are not).
This equivalence relation A≡ LambekB is strictly stronger than propositional equivalence.
It should be observed that all equivalences A≡B listed below are in fact Lambek equivalences.
The logical rules for negation can then be proved.
However, this approach is not as beautifully symmetric as the full sequent calculus.
The logic described above is full classical linear logic.
The sequents are also restricted to have only one formula on the right.
In this case all connectives are all independent of each other.
One can also consider adding additional rules to linear logic.
Another rule that is sometimes considered is the mix rule.
We discuss the categorical semantics of linear logic.
See also at relation between type theory and category theory.
It is modelled using a suitably monoidal comonad ! on the underlying *-autonomous category.
The exponential (unsurprisingly for a Kleisli category) is B A≅!A⊸B.
This includes Girard’s phase spaces as a particular example.
First-order linear logic is correspondingly modeled in a linear hyperdoctrine.
This explains why ⅋ has both a disjunctive and a conjunctive aspect.
Dually, in ⊥, the game ends immediately, and they have won.
The binary operators show how to combine two games into a larger game:
In A⊗B, play continues with both games in parallel.
Dually, in A⅋B, play continues with both games in parallel.
So we can classify things as follows:
Whoever has control must win at least one game to win overall.
(In ⊥⅋1, both games end immediately, and we win.
There are several ways to think of the exponentials.
The semantics here is essentially the same as that proposed by Blass.
That such pairs of statements commonly arise is a truism in constructive mathematics.

Sergio Doplicher is a mathematical physicist from Rome working in the context of AQFT.
In particular, it has a well-defined and well-behaved support.
Let X be a topological space.
Every Radon measure on a Hausdorff space is τ-additive.
This permits to construct a functor, even a monad (see below).
This monad is a submonad of the extended probabilistic powerdomain.
See the measure monad on Top for more details.
A set has full measure if its complement is null.
By τ-additivity, the union of all null open sets is null.
Its complement, which is a closed set, is called the support of μ.
It can be seen as the smallest closed set of full measure.
This definition can be extended to continuous valuations.
Every Radon measure on a Hausdorff space is τ-additive.
Every τ-additive measure on a compact Hausdorff space is Radon.
Every τ-additive measure can be restricted to a continuous valuation.

For information on morphisms of bicategories, see pseudofunctor.

The morphisms f:A→B become 2-cells [f]:[A]→[B] of BM.
The construction is a special case of delooping (see there).
Indeed, without the axiom of choice, the proper notion of bicategory is anabicategory.
Rings, bimodules, and bimodule homomorphisms are the prototype for many similar examples.

There are various further examples.
As an outlook we indicate aspects of IV) Higher orientifold structure.
The following sections discuss classes of examples of twisted smooth structures in string theory.
This is to be read as an extended table of contents.
Explanations are in the sections to follow.
Let X be a smooth manifold of dimension n.
We write [(λ ij)]∈H smooth 1(X,GL n).
We call this H the (2,1)-topos of smooth groupoids or of smooth stacks.
We may understand this inclusion geometrically in terms of the canonical metric on ℝ n.
Now we can say what a Riemannian metric/orthogonal structure on X is:
The component E is the corresponding vielbein.
For more on this see also the discussion at general covariance.
It is a familiar fact that many fields in physics “naturally pull back”.
And this exhibits f as a local diffeomorphism.
This is also called the generalized tangent bundle of X.
Above we have seen (pseudo-)Riemannian structure given by lifts through the inclusion BO(n)→BGL(n).
Now we consider further lifts, through the Whitehead tower of BO.
This encodes higher spin structures.
The homotopy groups of BO start out as k=012345678π k(BO)=*ℤ 2ℤ 20ℤ000ℤ
This identifies BSO→B 2ℤ as being an isomorphism on the second homotopy group.
To that end we first need a good model for bare homotopy types.
This classifies a smooth circle 2-bundle / bundle gerbe.
This is made precise as follows.
We call this the geometric realization of smooth ∞-groupoids.
We now apply this to the above Whitehead tower.
We say that B nU(1) conn is a differential refinement of B nU(1).
We indicate briefly how this is constructed.
We add some stacky aspects to that and explain why.
The first one is kinematics.
The second is dynamics, being the equations of motion of the system.
So there must be another way to refine dF=J mag to differential cohomology.
This underlies the discussion of flux quantization below.)
We say that F^ is a c^-twisted bundle with twisted curvature being F≔dA i+β i.
The third one of these is related to the higher gauge anomalies proper.
The magnetic twist c^ will depend on other field configurations that induce magnetic charge.
So it is not a constant, but varies with the fields.
Eventually one wants to quantize such a setup.
Similarly for higher gauge theory it is the L-infinity algebroid.
So before getting to that special case, we indicate here the general pattern.
This perspective can be refined.
This also exhibits the smoothness of the action.
So there should be a cricle 3-bundle with connection on this moduli stack.
Indeed, it induces a whole tower of higher circle bundles, in each codimension:
Let J el be the Poincare dual form.
(Here is where we need J el to have compact support.)
This is the anomaly line bundle with connection on the moduli stack of fields.
The action functional needs to be a flat section of ∇ totalanomaly.
Hence the two line bundles need to be inverse to each other.
This condition is the Green-Schwarz mechanism.
In the previous section we have considered higher differential structures originating in the orthogonal group.
Accordingly, the above Whitehead tower of BO has stage-wise unitary twistings.
For our purposes it is useful to think of this as follows.
To which we now turn.
So in general we say it is a ϕ-twisted such cocycle.
And that (h ij) classifies a ϕ-twisted unitary bundle.
In cohomology this says that [dd(ϕ ga)]=[ϕ B| Q]∈H 3(Q).
This is the Freed-Witten anomaly cancellation condition for general Q.
Measurable spaces are the traditional prelude to the general theory of measure and integration.
Measurable spaces and measurable functions form a category Meas, which is topological over Set.
Most of these are discussed at articles dedicated to them.
It's also essential to use almost functions to avoid a paucity of measurable functions.
Thus every set becomes a discrete measurable space.
However, what is (say) a Borel set in the real line?
This is difficult, if not impossible, to explain predicatively.
to define a Borel set we need to quantify over all countable ordinals.

Let k be a field, and p∈k[x] a monic polynomial of degree n.
In other words, ϕ is also surjective and provides an isomorphism E≅E⊗ kE′/m.
Now let S⊆k[x] be an arbitrary set of monic polynomials.
Then g is sent to 0 in E, hence g cannot be 1.
Any isomorphism E→F restricts to an isomorphism E p→F p.
So we are required to show that this inverse limit is inhabited.
We conclude from compactness that the full intersection ⋂ p|qΦ pq is inhabited.

The functor in the other direction associates to any category its internal logic.
Its objects are the contexts in the type theory;
Its morphisms between contexts are substitutions, or interpretations of variables.
If T has function types, then Con(T) is cartesian closed category.
If T has sum types, then Con(T) has binary coproducts.
If T is a regular theory, then Con(T) is a regular category.
If T is a coherent theory, then Con(T) is a coherent category.
If T is a geometric theory, then Con(T) is a geometric category.
One thing worth noting is that Con(T) always has finite products.
This is due to the objects of Con(T) being contexts rather than types.
A way to avoid this is to work instead with a syntactic cartesian multicategory.
There is no reason to keep variable names the same.
Another, perhaps even less obvious, morphism Δ→Γ is a≔a 2,b≔a 3.

Functoriality of A encodes the compatibilities of all these operations, such as associativity.
For T= CartSp the theory of smooth algebras, this is synthetic differential geometry.
The general abstract discussion of this is hidden in section 5.5.8 of Higher Topos Theory .
is the (2,1)-category of spans of finite sets.
Its algebras turn out to be E-∞ algebras.
This is the topic of the next part.
The result that strict simplicial algebras model all ∞-T-algebras is also in
The proof is based on general statements about monoidal Quillen adjunctions.
Algebraic theories may also be encoded by operads.
Accordingly ∞-algebras may be regarded as ∞-algebras over an (∞,1)-operad.
But there are some noteworthy subtleties.
This relation between derived loop spaces and Hochschild homology is very fruitful.
Its algebras are smooth algebras / C ∞-rings.
Therefore its ∞-algebras are modeled by simplicial C ∞-rings.
Spaces locally ringed in such smooth ∞-algebras are called derived smooth manifolds .
More generally Poincaré duality is about dual objects in a generalized cohomology theory.
For more on this see at Poincaré duality algebra.
For more on this see at twisted Umkehr map.
Later this was turned around and more general topological spaces satisfying this condition were considered
Traditionally Poincaré duality is stated as a duality of chain homology groups.
But it turns out that this can always be lifted:
See also (Ranicki 96) and see at Poincaré complex.
These “Umkehr maps” describe fiber integration in cohomology?.
See Grothendieck duality for references.
One may asks if it lifts to a duality on the underlying chain complexes.
The above formulation is due to Victor Porton.

Idea Modal logics are said to be the logic of relational structures.
The Kripke frame semantics of modal logics provides a clear picture of this:
There are many other types of coalgebras for endofunctors and many lead to modal logics.
Let (B,μ,η,Δ,ϵ) be a k-bialgebra.
Notice that for the compositions Δ i∘Δ j=Δ j+1∘Δ i for i≤j.
Let χ be an invertible element of B ⊗n.
We define the coboundary ∂χ by ∂χ=(∏ i=0 ievenΔ iχ)(∏ i=1 ioddΔ iχ −1)
This formula is symbolically also written as ∂χ=(∂ +χ)(∂ −χ −1).
An invertible χ∈B ⊗n is an n-cocycle if ∂χ=1.
Counital 2-cocycle is hence the famous Drinfel'd twist.
The 3-cocycle condition for ϕ∈H ⊗3 reads: (1⊗ϕ)((id⊗Δ⊗id)ϕ)(ϕ⊗1)=((id⊗id⊗Δ)ϕ)((Δ⊗id⊗id)ϕ)
However for all n the Lie algebra cohomology also appears as a special case.
(to be completed later)
(See at Ward identity.)
It can also be characterized as a 2-limit in its own right.
But not in all cases does this give the expected answers.
Most well known are methods involving Laplace transform and umbral calculus.
Note that it is a strict 2-category as soon as B is.
(Granted, these basic facts require a fair amount of verification as well.)
This functor is bijective on objects and locally fully faithful.
Here we at last descend to something concrete.
The order relation is defined as a≤b if ramp(a−b)=0.
This entry is about a D-brane species in string theory.
For the items in the ADE-classification of name D4, see there.
They are supposed to provide the elements of the taco monoid M.
So far we have seven of them including id 𝒜.
They parametrize the essential localizations of the associated presheaf topos Set M op.
The main reference for the taco is Lawvere (1989, pp.70-73).
It is mentioned in Lawvere (1991,2003) as well.
Its components Ψ in the spin group representation Γ⊂𝔰𝔦𝔰𝔬(d) is the gravitino field.

Welcome, Hanno! —Toby Bartels category: people
In accordance with Switzer 75, 8.9, we call morphisms in this sense functions.
Let E be a CW-spectrum.
In particular CW-spectra, def. , are cofibrant in SeqSpec(Top) stable.
For the proof see there.
The analog of CW-approximation for topological spaces holds true for topological sequential spectra:
Consider then the continuous function ΣX^ n⟶Σϕ nΣX n⟶σ nX n+1.
Hence we have obtained the next stage of the CW-approximation.
This appears as (Lurie, cor. 4.4.2.5).
Write PSh(C) for the (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-presheaves on C.
This appears as (Lurie, prop. 6.1.5.2).
For the case of chain complexes we also speak of chain algebras.
For the case of cochain complexes we also speak of cochain algebras.
The dg-algebras form a category, dgAlg.
The relevant morphisms are pre-gvs morphisms which respect the multiplication.
This gives a category preGA.
The pair (A,ε) is called an augmented pre-ga.
The resulting category will be written preεGA.
Let A be a pre-ga.
This gives categories preDGA and preεDGA.
Commutativity is preserved by tensor product.
We get obvious full subcategories preCDGA and preεCDGA corresponding to the case with differentials.
There is an augmented variant, of course.
These definitions give categories CDGA, etc.
See at differential graded-commutative algebra.
This gives subcategories CDGA n and CDGA cn.
Q(A)=A¯/Imμ¯ is the space of indecomposables of A.
The augmentation sends V to 0.
Lemma (classical: freeness of T(V), T is a left adjoint)
It satisfies ⋀(V⊕W)≅(⋀V)⊕(⋀W).
See Anel and Joyal for more information.
There is a standard model category structure on dgAlg.
See model structure on dg-algebras.
Dually, a comonoid in chain complexes is a dg-coalgebra.
twisted generalized cohomology theory is conjecturally ∞-categorical semantics of linear homotopy type theory:
For the cartesian case see at distributive category.
A distributive monoidal category is a monoidal category whose tensor product distributes over coproducts.
See distributivity for monoidal structures.
hence gives a distributive monoidal category: (Vect Set,⊔,⊠)∈DistMonCat. Proof
Let k:x⊗0→x⊗y be the restriction of ϕ along the other coproduct inclusion.
Then ϕ induces an evident bijection hom(x⊗y,y)→⟨[k],id⟩hom(x⊗0,y)×hom(x⊗y,y).
(see also e.g. tom Dieck 09, p. 45)
Of course this expansion is not unique.
Michael Barr is the Peter Redpath Emeritus Professor of Pure Mathematics at McGill University.
The further restriction to linear functions gives the symplectic group proper.
Every real polynomial function is a smooth function.
Thus, every polynomial function is a smooth function.

In Cat, this is equivalent to f being pseudomonic in the usual sense.
All kinds of contravariant 2-functor appear in a 3-category with contravariance.
Carrying this program through requires the following intermediate results.
(See model structure on simplicial presheaves for more details.)
The previous statement is true.
There may be different model category-structures on the category of diffeological spaces.
There was a gap in the original proof that DTopologicalSpaces≃ QuillenDiffeologicalSpaces.
The gap is claimed to be filled now, see the commented references here.
Write (−) s for the underlying sets.
But this means equivalently that for every such ϕ, f∘ϕ is continuous.
This means equivalently that X is a D-topological space.
This gap is addressed in
Marcy Robertson is a lecturer at the University of Melbourne.
She works on operad theory, homotopy theory, and higher category theory.
On the one hand, there is syntax.
On the other hand, there is semantics.

This again has that natural action of ℕ on it…
Much of deeper model theory studies the fine structure of this connection.
Each of these may be understood as characterizing a theory.
((insert your favourite variant here))
The following are closely interrelated, and depend on having a suitable universe V.
(… clarify …)
See at completeness theorem.
See at compactness theorem.
See at Łoś ultraproduct theorem.
In category theory one also speaks of idempotent completeness.
Equivalently, the Cauchy completion is the closure with respect to absolute colimits.
We work through a few examples in the following section.
This appears for instance as (BorceuxDejean, theorem 1).
For an alternative construction, see Karoubi envelope.
This appears for instance as (BorceuxDejean, prop. 2).
C is Cauchy complete; C has all small absolute colimits.
Write * for the terminal category (single object, single morphism).
We first exhibit a full inclusion Topos ess(Set,[C,Set]) op↪C¯.
By prop. this means that F belongs to C¯⊂[C,Set].
This gives the full inclusion Topos ess(Set,[C,Set]) op⊂C¯.
This means that restricted along Cat Cauchy↪Cat the adjunction exhibits a coreflective embedding.
The discussion in ordinary category theory above is the special case where 𝒱:= Set.
The Cauchy completion of an ordinary category is its idempotent completion, or Karoubi envelope.
The Cauchy completion is the usual completion under Cauchy nets or Cauchy filters.
When 𝒱=Ab is abelian groups, a 𝒱-category is a pre-additive category.
The Cauchy completion is the completion under finite direct sums and idempotent splitting.
When 𝒱=Ch is chain complexes, a 𝒱-category is a dg-category.
Cauchy complete dg-categories are characterized by Nikolić, Street, and Tendas.
In the ∞-categorical context, we can consider enrichment in the ∞-category of spectra.
(The associativity and identity axioms are here superfluous since V is a poset.)
Recall also that module composition is defined by a coend formula for a tensor product.
In particular, representables themselves are points of the Cauchy completion.
They are called absolute limits for that reason.
The internalization of this statement requires some extra assumptions:
Proposition Internal to any regular category every poset is Cauchy complete.
This appears as (Rosolini, prop. 2.1).
This appears as (Rosolini, corollary. 2.3).
I see some may coincide in certain cases.
This theorem is central notably for the definition and behaviour of categories of cobordisms.

A stochastic variable is a function from a probability space to some other space.
So we see a stochastic variable as a monadic value.
See also (Toronto-McCarthy 10b, slide 24).
call the function monad the random variable idiom.
It is a notion genuinely associated with 1-categorical models for H.
However, there is no direct relationship between vector spaces and extended conical spaces.
The positive cone of any ordered real vector space is a conical space.

To this corresponds a spectrum K SegC≔{NC¯ S • n}.

The generalization of K-theory of permutative categories to Mackey functors is discussed in
Generalization to equivariant stable homotopy theory and G-spectra is discussed in
The trefoil knot is a famous knot.
The trefoil has crossing number 3.
Here is a traditional view:
Here is a depiction with bridge number 2: category: svg
These reflect the fact that the trefoil is a (2,3)-torus knot.
(Of course, it is also a (3,2)-torus knot.)
It is primarily used in synthetic differential geometry.
I know it seems silly, but here’s a link to my blog.
Therefore in this case one finds X hG≃RHom G(*,X)≃Hom G(EG,X).
This entry is about a notion in category theory.
The concept of polynomial functor is a categorification of that of polynomial.
Let C be a locally cartesian closed category.
A polynomial is a diagram W←fX→gY→hZ in C.
Other times container is used as a synonym for “polynomial functor”.
Thus we have a “literal polynomial” in the object argument of the functor.
And this is all that is needed.
Obviously one still needs finite products, just to get off the ground.
The following theorem is proven in Gambino–Kock: Theorem
Both of these are instances of Lack's coherence theorem.
Polynomial endofunctors are important in the definition of W-types in categories.
Polynomial functors are a special case of parametric right adjoints.
In particular all the functors appearing here are polynomial functors.
The relation of plain polynomial functors to trees is discussed in
Between finite dimensional normed spaces, every linear operator is bounded.
A linear operator between any two normed linear spaces is bounded iff it is continuous.
There is also a rich theory for unbounded operators on Hilbert spaces.
Every bounded operator on a Hilbert space has a polar decomposition.
Idea MU is the universal Thom spectrum for complex vector bundles.
It is the spectrum representing complex cobordism cohomology theory.
It is the complex analog of MO.
The periodic version is sometimes written PMU.
This is due to (Milnor 60, Novikov 60, Novikov 62).
This is Quillen's theorem on MU.
See Ravenel chapter 1, section 2.
For more information, see the article cobordism cohomology theory.
This is the content of the Landweber-Novikov theorem.
The p-localization of MU decomposes into the Brown-Peterson spectra.
This is called the level of the theory.
Hence c^ is the “differentially refined level” of the theory.
For traditional accounts see at Chern-Simons theory - References.
In the foundations of mathematics, the axiom of infinity asserts that infinite sets exist.
Every element of ℤ/2pℤ could be written as a linear combination of p and p+1.
Note that inserters are not equivalent to any sort of conical 2-limit.
Morphisms (X,b)→(X′,b′) are morphisms f:X→X′ such that b′∘F(f)=G(f)∘b.
The functor from the inserter to A discards the data of b.
The inserter in Cat is also called the category of dialgebras.
Any strict inserter is, in particular, an inserter.
(This is not true for all strict 2-limits.)
Strict inserters are (by definition) a particular class of PIE-limits.
Let C denote a category and F:C→C denote a functor.
Further reduction to G2-structure yields M-theory on G2-manifolds.

As such, it is a naturally cartesian monoidal 2-category.
A monoidal prederivator is simply a pseudomonoid in PDer.
We may similarly define braided and symmetric monoidal prederivators.
A monoidal semiderivator is a monoidal prederivator which is a semiderivator.
This is what Groth does.
In this case we say that D is a monoidal derivator.
Any representable prederivator represented by a monoidal category is a monoidal prederivator.
The homotopy derivator of any monoidal model category is a monoidal derivator.
This algebra comes with a natural filtration.
Making this precise is a little fiddly.
Any group is a Moufang loop.
The invertible elements in any alternative ring or alternative algebra form a Moufang loop.
This is also possible in extensions to modal homotopy type theory.
See also Some thoughts on the future of modal homotopy type theory.
See at Euler characteristic – Of topological spaces.
See at loop order – Relation to powers in Planck’s constant
Any group is an associative quasigroup with identity elements.
Every associative quasigroup, every nonassociative group, and every loop is a quasigroup.
Every invertible quasigroup is a quasigroup.
(The other quotient remains a quotient.)
This generalizes the octonion examples.
There are interesting subvarieties of quasigroups (which are still not associative).
TS-quasigroups are related to Steiner triple systems.
This is a significant (but superficial) difference from Nuprl.
Two major interesting things happen with this HOAS formulation of CompLF.
Note that C in this example rule is a function in the HOAS formulation.
But it’s a function of the logical framework, not of the object language.
When rules quantify over functions, that’s second-order quantification.
Note that the variable declarations effect both a quantifier and a typing hypothesis.
Many rules will not be repeated because there’s no guesswork in translating them.
But it’s very straightforward and expressive.
Vs reasoning about Reflected Judgments
The logical framework gives us a way to reason about formal judgments.
It turns out it is.
For example, consider the framework formula: ∀t.(t⊩A)⇒(t⊩B)
But both of these are wrong.
But what is the formal reason?
The mismatch turns out to be the quantifiers used.
So there’s an extra (t⊩Comp) requirement making inclusion weaker than subtyping.
(This rule cannot be represented in HOAS style without some modal trick.
The motive needs to be generalized in order to handle binding forms.)
the (∀t.(t∈A)type) part is too strong.
(Is there a better term for this?)
This is a running theme of this page.
This is discussed in later sections.
Subtyping was defined as: A<:B≔(λx.x)∈(A→B)
Using the computation formation rules, we have (λx.x⊩Comp).
Finally, equality formation gives us ((λx.x)∈(A→B)).
Both (A<:B) and this assume A itself, rather than (t∈A).
The standard wisdom is that typing judgments are not something you can assume.
In other words, that A equality is respected in B.
This should only be a consequence of subtyping, not a presupposition of it.
So these semantic judgments are true at the same time, but have different presuppositions.
This representation makes it explicit that subtyping implies respect for equality.
Here is a summary of important lessons we tried to convey:
In other words, the type presupposes itself.
It’s also not non-negatable in CompLF, which uses relaxed equality.
There is another semantic judgment which is still non-negatable: type validity.
It’s kind of a weird trick that this judgment is representable as a type.
So what’s the big trick?
Basically, to use almost any trivially true proposition that mentions the type.
We’ll use: TpOK(A)≔A⊃⊤
So it’s either true or nonsense; it’s non-negatable.
We have: ∀p.(Atype)⇔(p⊩TpOK(A))
This is precisely when A is a quotient of Comp.
In other words, such ordinary elimination rules help to conclude ordinary truth only.
Here are some consequences of combined elimination on represented judgments:
You can beta convert in a type validity judgment.
Same goes for rewriting with an identity.
You can branch on a boolean in a valid type.
This is shown by eliminating b with the motive (C[x]≔TpOK(xTF)).
So without the combined elimination, we’d be in an infinite regress.
That is, it’s only a type family over a pair of computations.
For example, you can prove derived rules showing that identity is symmetric and transitive.
Here is the defined judgment: A∋a≔(Atype)⇒(a⊩A)
Here’s a more interesting direction change rule using subsumption: t⊩AA<:B∋pB∋t
That is, context entries are always synthesizing mode in our notation.
So it needs to compare them.
Most of the primitive type constructors have inversions for their formation rules.
(Type subexpressions are valid; element subexpressions have the appropriate type.)
Otherwise they would need to be proven again whenever applying an elimination rule.
The PER comprehension type constructor itself does not have any formation inversion rules.
But mostly it’s because the inversion rule wouldn’t really help.
For example, suppose we’re deriving Σ types.
But for validity, type-level implication is actually a conjunction.
Inversion rules for Σ′ are not needed at all.
In general, there seems to be no use for inversion rules for PER comprehension.
It would not be dependent type theory if types depended only on types.
What kinds of requirements can be added to type validity?
And it turns out we can indeed do that.
It should validate the following rules: p⊩Pq⊩PreSup(P) PreSup(P)typep⊩⌊P⌋
It would be pretty straightforward to just add a primitive type constructor to do this.
And it’s really just a lucky break that we don’t have to.
(Since they all have the same computations, namely the booleans.)
So PreSup(P) is non-negatable, and satisfies the rules above.
This section sketches the connection between dependent type theory and partial logic.
(Supposedly, Frege structures were not originally formulated that way.)
The terms of the applicative language correspond to the terms of CompLF.
Additionally, both term languages present an untyped computation system.
This corresponds to the type validity judgment form.
With Frege structures, there’s a strong metatheorem about representability.
Kahle calls it “Proposition 5”.
This allows representing any formula with only positive occurrences of T.
The disjunction available in CompLF is only a type when both disjuncts are.
Clearly not all tautologies do the trick.)
In Frege structures, too, proposition validity is non-negatable.
With the truth predicate, this can be expressed quite clearly as ¬T(¬˙(x→˙x)).
It’s either “true” (combined true) or not a proposition.
But you can’t, since proposition validity is non-negatable.
This was prior to Peter Aczel’s paper that coined “Frege structures”.
Hopefully that was done by Aczel, but that paper is paywalled.
In the terminology of Frege structures, it’s not a proposition.
Formalizing this requires the logical framework, since type validity is non-negatable.)
Scott gives three-valued truth tables for the connectives.
Meanwhile Frege structures can define (the classical special cases of) CompLF’s connectives.
That is, short-circuiting conjunction and implication, and strict disjunction and quantifiers.
The predicates obtained in this way are usually non-negatable.
But this would not arise from a plain first-order definition.
Or you could think of them as proper classes.
But the properness is certainly not about cardinality.
These collect into a class, V, expressing that something is a propositional function.
He shows some good derived rules for Π.
This version resembles Kahle’s truth theory, and has a restricted T-schema.
Free logics seem to be essentially the same idea as logics of partial terms.
There is a SEP article about free logic.
Functions (elements of Π types) also have types as their domains.
Or is it (t⊩T)? Or (T∋t)?
Actually, maybe the positive approach was intended to rule out truth value gaps.
In that case it would not be more general than neutral.
(And none of these approaches would explain CompLF.)
So the neutral approach corresponds to inversion principles for atomic type constructors.
Atomic predicates are then interpreted simply as relations on the outer domain.
So the “interpretation” of terms is just a quotient projection.
Relations on the outer domain are used as the interpretations of judgment forms.
So in general, they correspond to predicates in the positive approach.
They can be made more negative using conjunction.
This is an original and tentative definition.
Should they be an arity class?
Let κ be a set of cardinal numbers.
If κ={0,1}, then a κ-arity space is precisely a coherence space.
This might follow from constructing it using double gluing and orthogonality.
We can define arity spaces by a variation on the double gluing construction.
1. Objects are relations ⊥⊆X×Y 2.
Autotopy is an isotopy from (A,⋅) to itself.
Being isotopic is a relation of equivalence.
Every loop isotopic to a group is isomorphic to a group.
This is why isotopy is a non-interesting notion for groups.
Mike: Shouldn’t we allow “oriented bonds” as well?
This example also goes up in dimension, for instance modules over algebras over rings.
right, the module example currently does not really fit yet.
Do you see what I mean.
Maybe I am mixed up about this.
My point about cobordisms has to do with orientations.
I would like to develop this in the following here on this page.
If not, this should eventually be discarded.
First recall some basics of posets to fix our notation.
For C a category with colimits, MultiCoSpan(C) is a bond structure.
We have to check the sewing condition.
We write Hyperstructures:=MultiCoSpans(Set Posets¯ op) for the hyperstructure of hyperstructures.
The above general definition in particular reproduces the ordinary composition of cospans.
Let C be a category with colimits.
This is indeed the ordinary composite of the two cospans F and F′.
It seems to me that this definition doesn’t contain enough information.
(in particular, its universal property in C seems to have been forgotten).
This should say that any two fillers are themselves connected by a filler.
But I am not sure that I see what this has to do with intersections.
Shouldn’t we we be looking at inclusions?
Usually, if one works the the other does too.
Occasionally one fails where the other succeeds due to set-theoretic technicalities.
It definitely does not feel to me as though the smallest hyperstructure should exist.
The problem with your proposal is when you say “form all composites.”
I need to think about a nice way to formalize such a cancellation.
Can someone please clarify the rules on this page?
Note that we can write k𝒳=⟨X,kμ X⟩ for k∈ℕ.

For SemiLat in itself, this is purely a difference in notational convention.
See Reeb sphere theorem Reeb stability theorem?
But without Choice, we can still consider this collection of cardinalities.
Then a first-countable space is simply one whose characters are all countable.
Properties second-countable: there is a countable base of the topology.
metrisable: the topology is induced by a metric.
separable: there is a countable dense subset.
Lindelöf: every open cover has a countable sub-cover.
metacompact: every open cover has a point-finite open refinement.
first-countable: every point has a countable neighborhood base
second-countable spaces are Lindelöf.
weakly Lindelöf spaces with countably locally finite base are second countable.
separable metacompact spaces are Lindelöf.
Lindelöf spaces are trivially also weakly Lindelöf.
a first-countable space is obviously Fréchet-Urysohn.
a Fréchet-Uryson space is obviously sequential.
a sequential space is obviously countably tight.
paracompact spaces satisfying the countable chain condition are Lindelöf.
In (Baez-Dolan 97) this has been called the microcosm principle.
This generalization includes internal categories and enriched categories.
These do not generally include all examples, but often include many of them.
See at (∞,1)-algebra over an (∞,1)-operad for examples and further details.
Discussion is in The Microcosm Principle
It was this property they owe their introduction to (Jónsson&Tarski 1956,1961).
A profunctorial variation on this theme has been proposed by Leinster (2007).
See at Jónsson-Tarski topos for some details.
An ordinary small category is a category internal to Set.
Let A be a category with pullbacks.
Functors between internal categories are defined in a similar fashion.
A category in A is precisely a monad in Span(A).
Finally the unit and associativity axioms for monads imply those above.
This approach makes it easy to define the notion of internal profunctor.
That description will carry across to give a nerve construction for an internal category.
Internal functors between internal categories induce simplicial morphisms between the corresponding nerves.
Discussion in homotopy type theory is at internal category in homotopy type theory.
A small category is a category internal to Set.
This generalises immediately to a smooth category?.
Similarly, a topological groupoid is a groupoid internal to Top.
Further examples: A category internal to Set is a small category
A groupoid internal to definable sets is a definable groupoid.
A groupoid internal to a category of presheaves is a presheaf of groupoids.
A groupoid internal to the opposite of CRing is a commutative Hopf algebroid.
A cocategory in C is a category internal to C op.
A double category is a category internal to Cat.
A crossed module is equivalent to a category internal to Grp.
A Baez-Crans 2-vector space is a category internal to Vect.
First suppose E is finitely complete.
Now suppose that E is finitely complete and cartesian closed.
The remainder of the proof is then finished by the following lemma.
For the precise statement see at 2-topos –
See also at enriched category.
I am a grad student at Berkeley, advised by Constantin Teleman.
I am mainly interested in algebraic geometry and mathematical physics.
One expects the Yoneda lemma to generalize to essentially every flavor of higher category theory.
But fundamental physics is governed by the gauge principle.
In mathematics this is called a homotopy.
Homotopy theory is gauged mathematics.
This way homotopy theory subsumes group theory.
This way homotopy theory subsumes parts of topological group theory.
The plain sets are recovered as the special case of 0-groupoids.
Hence homotopy types are equivalently ∞-groupoids.
However, without further tools this construction is unwieldy.
is due to (Joyal, def. E.1.2).
Let 𝒞 be any category.
By precomposition, this induces functors d i:𝒞 Δ[2]⟶𝒞 Δ[1].
Let 𝒞 be a category and let K⊂Mor(𝒞) be a class of morphisms.
Then: Both classes contain the class of isomorphism of 𝒞.
Both classes are closed under composition in 𝒞.
KProj is also closed under transfinite composition.
KProj is closed under forming coproducts in 𝒞 Δ[1].
KInj is closed under forming products in 𝒞 Δ[1].
We go through each item in turn.
Hence in particular there is a lift when p∈K and so i∈KProj.
The other case is formally dual.
Now the bottom commuting square has a lift, by assumption.
The case of composing two morphisms in KProj is formally dual.
Hence j has the left lifting property against all p∈K and hence is in KProj.
The other case is formally dual.
We need to construct a diagonal lift of that square.
The other case is formally dual.
By assumption, each of these has a lift ℓ s.
The other case is formally dual.
We need to show that then also f∈W.
First consider the case that f∈Fib.
In this case, factor w as a cofibration followed by an acyclic fibration.
This now exhibits f as a retract of an acyclic fibration.
These are closed under retract by prop. .
Now consider the general case.
Consider a composite morphism f:X⟶iA⟶pY.
We discuss the first statement, the second is formally dual.
This gets already close to producing the intended factorization:
For the present purpose we just need the following simple version:
Let 𝒞 be a model category, def. , and X∈𝒞 an object.
where X→Path(X) is a weak equivalence and Path(X)→X×X is a fibration.
and X⊔X→Cyl(X) is a cofibration.
Let 𝒞 be a model category.
We discuss the case of the path space object.
The other case is formally dual.
Let f,g:X⟶Y be two parallel morphisms in a model category.
Let f,g:X→Y be two parallel morphisms in a model category.
Let X be cofibrant.
Let X be fibrant.
We discuss the first case, the second is formally dual.
Let η:Cyl(X)⟶Y be the given left homotopy.
Now the composite η˜≔h∘i 1 is a right homotopy as required:
The symmetry and reflexivity of the relation is obvious.
Let 𝒞 be a model category, def. .
For postcomposition we may choose to exhibit homotopy by left homotopy and argue dually.
Let 𝒞 be a model category.
Now to see that the image on morphisms is well defined.
Now let F:𝒞⟶D be any functor that sends weak equivalences to isomorphisms.
Here now all horizontal morphisms are isomorphisms, by assumption on F.
𝒞 f and 𝒞 c each inherit “half” of the factorization axioms.
We discuss this for the former; the second is formally dual:
By corollary this is just as good for the purpose of homotopy theory.
Let 𝒟 be a category with weak equivalences.
The other case is formally dual.
Let f:X⟶Y be a weak equivalence in 𝒞 f.
Therefore also F(p 0∘p 1 *f) is a weak equivalence.
Let 𝒞,𝒟 be model categories and consider F:𝒞⟶𝒟 a functor.
Let F:𝒞⟶𝒟 be a functor between two model categories (def. ).
We discuss the first case, the second is formally dual.
The conditions in def. are indeed all equivalent.
We discuss statement (i), statement (ii) is formally dual.
Consider the second case, the first is formally dual.
Hence L(X⊔X→∈CofCyl(X))=(L(X)⊔L(X)→∈CofL(Cyl(X))) is a cofibration.
This establishes the adjunction.
But this is the statement of Prop. .
To see that 4)⇒3): Consider the weak equivalence LX⟶j LXPLX.
In certain situations the conditions on a Quillen equivalence simplify.
But p R(c) is a weak equivalence by definition of cofibrant replacement.
Moreover, it should satisfy its universal property up to such homotopies.

One checks that under this identification composition of morphisms corresponds to matrix multiplication.
Clearly, in Comm both these operations are identified.
Let Comm be the ordinary Lawvere theory of commutative monoids.
There is a forgetful 2-functor 2Comm→Comm.

A Hecke correspondence is a certain correspondence between a moduli stacks of bundles.
The integral transform induced by a Hecke correspondence is called a Hecke transform.
These are central objects of interest in geometric Langlands duality.
For modular curves The reference for this is section 1.4 of Calegari13.
We can think of the Hecke correspondence as the multivalued function π 2*∘π 1 *.
In this way it is more properly seen as a correspondence.
A reference for this is section 3.7 of Frenkel05.
A discussion can also be found in Lafforgue18.
Hence it is a kind of topological bundle of C *-algebras.
A pullback is therefore the categorical semantics of an equation.
In other words, the fiber product is the product taken fiber-wise.
It is, in fact, a simple special case of a limit.
It is well defined up to unique isomorphism.
The last commutative square above is called a pullback square.
Pullbacks preserve monomorphisms and isomorphisms:
Suppose the right-hand inner square is a pullback, then:
So one square is universal iff the other is.
On homotopy groups these are genera with coefficients in the underlying ring π •(E).
First recall the following two basic facts about the construction of Thom spaces.
See at Thom space this prop..
Under taking the colimit over k, this produces the claimed pullback.
Observe that the analog of prop. still holds:
The right adjoint is the ∞-group of units-(∞,1)-functor, see there for more details.
This is (ABGHR, theorem 2.1/3.2).
This plays the role of the classifying space for gl 1(R)-principal ∞-bundles.
Remark This means that a morphism Mf→A is an GL 1(R)-equivariant map P→A.
This is made precise by the following statement.
This is (ABGHR, theorem 2.10).
This is in (ABGHR, section 8).
This construction evidently extendes to an (∞,1)-functor Γ:∞Grpd /RLine→RMod.
This observation appears as (Wilson 13, prop. 4.4).
The presentation of the following proof follows (Francis, lecture 3).
We first construct a map Θ:Ω n un→π nMO.
This defines an element in the homotopy group π n+k(Th(N ν)).
We check that this construction provides an inverse to Θ.
By the symmetric monoidal smash product of spectra this becomes a monoidal category.
This is called the Spanier-Whitehead dual of Σ + ∞X.

Let H be a locally ∞-connected (∞,1)-topos H→Γ←LConst→Π∞Grpd.
From the adjunction relation this comes with the canonical natural morphism X→Π(X).
This follows from τ ≤nLConstΠ(X)≃LConstτ ≤nΠ(X).
Take also the left bottom square to be a homotopy pullback.
Similarly, form now the top square as a pullback.
The following reviews some central ideas of this.
All errors and stupid ideas are mine - David Roberts
The construction is also functorial.
This then should be the n-connected cover of X.
This has its usual meaning, once homotopy groups π i have been defined.

(linear off-shell observables of scalar field are the compactly supported distributions)
The distributions arising this way are called the non-singular distributions.
This we turn to in Free quantum fields below.
This makes Γ Σ(E) a Fréchet topological vector space.
The concept of linear observables naturally generalizes to that of multilinear observables:
The main result is theorem below.
(Klein-Gordon equation is a Green hyperbolic differential equation)
(causal Green functions of formally adjoint Green hyperbolic differential operators are formally adjoint)
This, too, is automatic:
These integral kernels are called the advanced and retarded propagators.
Similarly the combination (10)Δ≔Δ +−Δ − is called the causal propagator.
Therefore on this quotient space it becomes an isomorphism onto its image.
This is the statement of prop. below.
This follows from the exact sequence in lemma .
The first statement follows with prop. applied componentwise.
With this the second and third statement follows by prop. .
Often this may be represented by linear operators acting on some Hilbert space.
As such it is then called an operator-valued distribution.
We now discuss the sub-class of those observables which are “local”.

Yet another option is that cosmic backreaction is entirely negligible in the real universe.
Underdense regions become ever emptier, and their deceleration decreases.
Regions thus become more differentiated, and the variance of the expansion rate grows.
In an inhomogeneous space, different regions expand at different rates.
Regions with faster expansion rate increase their volume more rapidly, by definition.
Acceleration is a transient phenomenon associated with the volume becoming dominated by the underdense region.
In this gauge backreaction becomes large and the gauge actually breaks down during structure formation.

Evidently an open subspace of a Riemann surface is a Riemann surface.
The transition map is 1z and thus holomorphic on U 1∩U 2=ℂ *.
An important example comes from analytic continuation, which we will briefly sketch below.
Then X is actually a Riemann surface.
Then the coordinate projections (g,W)→w 0 form appropriate local coordinates.
For instance, we can locally get a Laurent expansion, etc.
Sections of this bundle will be called (complex-valued) 1-forms.
Similarly, we do the same for 2-forms.
These form a basis for the complexified cotangent space at each point of U.
There is also a dual basis ∂∂z:=12(∂∂x−i∂∂y),∂∂z¯:=12(∂∂x+i∂∂y) for the complexified tangent space.
This is always possible locally, and a holomorphic map preserves the decomposition.
To see this, we have tacitly observed that dv=v zdz+v z¯dz¯.

Idea The determinant is the (essentially unique) universal alternating multilinear map.
It is called the j th alternating power (of V).
Another point of view on the alternating power is via superalgebra.
There is a canonical natural isomorphism Λ n(V⊕W)≅∑ j+k=nΛ j(V)⊗Λ k(W).
Again take V to be the category of supervector spaces.
In particular, Λ n(V) is 1-dimensional.
The number of such expressions is (nj).
It is manifestly functorial since Λ n is, i.e., D(fg)=D(f)D(g).
The quantity D(f) is called the determinant of f. Determinant of a matrix
We work over fields of arbitrary characteristic.
The determinant satisfies the following properties, which taken together uniquely characterize the determinant.

There are various ways of forming a category of simple graphs.
We will write E(x,y) to mean (x,y)∈E.
The resulting category of simple graphs is denoted by SimpGph.
of course that doesn’t preclude consideration of other types of graph.
The category SimpGph has very good properties.
For example, Theorem SimpGph is a Grothendieck quasitopos.
(See also Adamek and Herrlich.)
In other words, a simple graph in this language is exactly a separated presheaf.
It is easy to describe monos and epis in SimpGph.
For, let Γ=hom(1,−):SimpGph→Set be the underlying vertex-set forgetful functor.
We omit the easy proof.
It follows that Γ:SimpGph→Set both preserves and reflects monos and epis.
As a result, we can prove various simple exactness results in SimpGph.
Since Γ reflects monos, this means k is monic in SimpGph.
As already observed, there is a chain of adjoint functors Δ⊣Γ⊣∇:Set→SimpGph.

Let now A be a simplicial abelian group.
In this abelian cases are two other chain complexes naturally associated with A:
All elements of A 0 are regarded a non-degenerate.
Elements of D(A) n are often called thin n-simplices.
For j=n−1 this is then the desired result.
Write π n(G)n∈ℕ for the n-th simplicial homotopy group of G.
The first isomorphism follows with the Eckmann-Hilton argument.
So the above statement says that the Moore complex functor N respects these weak equivalences.
All this is discussed at Dold-Kan correspondence.
The Moore complex of a simplicial group is naturally a hypercrossed complex.
This has been established in (Carrasco-Cegarra).
Typically one has pairings NG p×NG q→NG p+q.
These use the Conduché decomposition theorem, see the discussion at hypercrossed complex.
These Moore complexes are easily understood in low dimensions:
Hence even after normalization the singular simplicial chain complex is “huge”.
Nevertheless it is quasi-isomorphic to the tiny chain complex found above.
There is also a never published John C. Moore, Algebraic homotopy theory.

This type of construction is called Epstein-Glaser renormalization.
This is called (“re”-)normalization by UV-Regularization via Counterterms.
This still leaves open the question how to choose the counterterms.
This yields the Stückelberg-Petermann renormalization group.
This conclusion is theorem below.
Following this, statement and detailed proof appeared in (Brunetti-Fredenhagen 00).
Then we show that these unique products on these special subsets do coincide on intersections.
This yields the claim by a partition of unity.

Its scaling degree is sd(Δ F) =n−2 =p−1.
Let X⊂ιX^ be an inclusion of open subsets of some Cartesian space.
This induces the operation of restriction of distributions 𝒟′(X^)⟶ι *𝒟′(X).
This is shown in (Brunetti-Fredenhagen 00, p. 24).
This is essentially (Hörmander 90, thm. 3.2.4).
Now let ρ≔deg(u).
Therefore to conclude it is now sufficient to show that deg(u∘p ρ^)=ρ.
This is shown in (Brunetti-Fredenhagen 00, p. 25).
By prop. this always exists.
This proves the first statement.
This directly implies the claim.
The condition “perturbation” is immediate from the corresponding condition on 𝒮 and 𝒮′.
It only remains to see that Z k indeed takes values in local observables.
This group is called the Stückelberg-Petermann renormalization group.
We will construct that 𝒵 Λ in terms of these projections p ρ.
First consider some convenient shorthand: For n∈ℕ, write 𝒵 ≤n≔∑1∈{1,⋯,n}1n!Z n.
We proceed by induction over n∈ℕ.
This means that Z n+1,Λ is supported on the diagonal, and is hence local.
Inserting this for the first summand in (17) shows that limΛ→∞K n+1,Λ=0.
That this is the case is the statement of this prop..
This is similar to a group of UV-cutoff scale-transformations.
This is often called the Wilsonian RG.
This goes back to (Polchinski 84, (27)).
In this case the choice of ("re"-)normalization hence “flows with scale”.
it is sufficient to check causal factorization.
This implies the equation itself.
Let C be a finitely complete category, and let T be an endofunctor on C.
In particular, this implies that T preserves monos.
Let θ:X→TX be a T-coalgebra structure on X.
Hence (X,θ) is well-founded.
Then, inside Y consider the system of well-founded subcoalgebras of ξ.

The connection with initial algebras goes a little further.
Hence initial algebras are semi-Peano, and Peano by Lambek’s theorem.

Conversely, assume that f −1 takes open subsets to open subsets.
Therefore we should pay attention to open subsets.
The union of any set of open subsets is again an open subset.
A topological space is a set X equipped with such a topology.
Pre-Images of open subsets are open.
The composition of continuous functions is clearly associative and unital.
This is called the metric topology.
(Also called the initial topology of the inclusion map.)
(This is also called the final topology of the projection π.)

(For more on this see at Top – Universal constructions.)
Consider then the function f:[0,1]⟶S 1 given by t↦(cos(2πt),sin(2πt)).
We claim that f˜ is a homeomorphism (definition ).
First of all it is immediate that f˜ is a continuous function.
So we need to check that f˜ has a continuous inverse function.
(open ball is contractible)
We introduce the simplest and indicate their use.
Assume there were a homeomorphism f:ℝ 1⟶ℝ 2 we will derive a contradiction.
Use topological invariants to distinguish topological spaces.
Of course in practice one uses more sophisticated invariants than just π 0.
Let X be a topological space and let x∈X be a chosen point.
Under concatenation of loops, π 1(X,x) becomes a semi-group.
This is called the fundamental group of X at x.
As π 0, so also π 1 is a topological invariant.
But they do have different fundamental groups π 1:
We discuss this further below in example .
The above construction yields a functor Cov(X)⟶π 1(X,x)Set.
Their corresponding permutation actions may be seen from the pictures on the right.
We are now ready to state the main theorem about the fundamental group.
This condition is satisfied for all “reasonable” topological spaces:
This has some interesting implications:
See also examples in topology.
See there for background and context.
This entry here is about the definition of cobordism categories for Riemannian cobordisms.
In physics terms such a functor is a Euclidean quantum field theory .
This requires refining the bordism category to a smooth category.
This realization will be described here.
Notice that this builds in an asymmetry: the (+)-side is preferred.
The composition of these cobordisms is given by I t∘I t′=I t+t′
This encodes the orientation reversal at that end.
This is defined for t>0.
This isomorphism is used to get an embedding V⊗VtoV⊗V *↪End(V).
With respect to this identification the map ρ is to be understood.
Iteratively one defines C n and then C ∞.
Invertible topological field theories are SKK invariants.
Transpositions are generators for the symmetric group, exhibiting it as a finitely generated group.
This form is always an exact form.
The (2n−1)-form trivializing it is called a Chern-Simons form.
This establishes the Weil homomorphism from invariant polynomials to de Rham cohomology

The first one is a tad more detailed.
The second one briefly attributes the construction to Weil, without reference.)
The second part comprises induction and comprehension schemes that involve the symbol ∈.
The logic throughout is classical first-order (predicate) logic with equality.
The induction axiom together with the comprehension scheme implies the full induction scheme.
The theory described above gives full second-order arithmetic.
The main examples are given in Wikipedia; a standard reference is Simpson.

Recall that frames are dual to locales, and locales are kinds of spaces.

For clarity, this article focuses on the horizontal double profunctors.
Vertical double profunctors can be defined by taking the transpose.
A double profunctor can be defined in several equivalent ways.
The induced functor C⊔D→H is bijective on objects and vertical arrows.
Each functor C→H and D→H is fully faithful on horizontal arrows and squares.
Explicitly, a double profunctor H:C⇸D consists of the following.
As with any notion of profunctor, the appropriate hom should be a double profunctor.
There is a corresponding statement in the pseudo case (see below).
Several of the above definitions suggest a possible way to compose them.
For many purposes, having a virtual equipment of double profunctors is sufficient.
Let C=A, named instead c 0→γ 0c 1→γ 1c 2.
Let D be the free double category on one vertical arrow, d 0→δd 2.

Then ϕ∘(f 1,…,f n):S→R is in C.
Define S i={x∈S|dimT xS=i}.
By construction, S decomposes into a disjoint union S=⨄ i=0 ∞S i.
Traditionally it is common to regard this as a space in noncommutative geometry.
More subtle is the interpretation of the axiom for states.
This might experimentally fail, and hold only for commuting a 1,a 2.
Operationally, quasi-states should be the genuine states!
This collection of local data is a sheaf of functions on the complex manifold.
This is naturally a poset under inclusion of subalgebras.
A (co)presheaf of this set is a functor 𝒞(A)→Set.
This notion is a fundamental notion for generalized spaces in higher geometry.
We shall call this ringed topos the Bohr topos of A.
To which extent this perspective is genuinely useful is maybe still to be established.
For pointers to the literature see the references below.
It is probably currently not clear if such statements have been found.
This will be used in several of the arguments below.
A homomorphism of partial C *-algebra is a function preserving this structure.
This defines a category PCstar of partial C * algebras.
This appears as (vdBergHeunen, def. 11,12).
We call this the poset of commutative subalgebras.
This construction extends to a functor 𝒞:C *Alg→Poset.
Notice the following fact about Alexandroff spaces:
For A∈C *Alg we call Alex𝒞(A) the Bohr site of A.
Remark Every monomorphism A↪B in C *Alg is commutativity reflecting.
This appears as (Nuiten 11, lemma 2.6).
The general notion of morphisms between toposes are geometric morphisms.
But those that remember the morphisms of Bohr sites are essential geometric morphisms.
We also write [f,Set]:[𝒞(A),Set]→[𝒞(B),Set] for this.
Here f *B̲ is such a functor, sending (C∈𝒞(A))↦im f(C).
Using this we now discuss morphisms of Bohr toposes in C *Topos.
This is (Nuiten 11, lemma 2.7).
Using prop. the above prop. has the following partial converse.
Hence we have the following direct topos-theoretic equivalent reformulation of Gleason’s theorem.
This appears as (HLSW, theorem 1).
This is highlighted in (vdBergHeunen).
This is (Spitters06, theorem 9, corollary 10).
Then Bohrification extends to a functor Σ (−):CStar inc op→Loc.
The statement appears as (vdBergHeunen, theorem 35).
are in bijection to the observables on A.
By prop. such morphisms are in bijection to algebra homomorphisms C(ℝ) 0→A.
The internal C *-algebra A̲∈Bohr(A) is an internal ℝ-module.
Notice that by definition this indeed takes values in C *-algebras and inclusions .
This appears as (Nuiten 11, def. 17).
This appears as (Nuiten 11, theorem 4.2).
This is called the “spectral presheaf”.

The Leibniz rule states that d(cf)=cd(f)+d(c)f and d(fc)=d(f)c+fd(c).
d(ab)=d(a)b+(−1) pqad(b) whenever a is homogeneous of degree q.

The latter plays role in Koszul-dual definitions of A ∞-algebras and L ∞-algebras.
Let 𝒪 be a dg-operad (a chain complex-enriched operad).
This appears as (Hinich, def. 7.2.1).

Then differentiation is a derivation; this is the motivating example.
Let A consist of the holomorphic functions on a region in the complex plane.
Then differentiation is a derivation again.
Let A consist of the meromorphic functions on a region in the complex plane.
Then differentiation is still a derivation.
Then exterior differentiation is a graded derivation (of degree 1).
Then we have an augmented derivation.
Let A be any algebra over a ring.
The constant function D(a)=0 for all a∈A is a derivation.
Let R[[x]] be a formal power series over a ring R.
Then the formal derivative? is a derivation.
A variation of this example is given by the Kähler differentials.
These provide a universal derivation in some sense.
Let X be a smooth manifold and C ∞(X) its algebra of smooth functions.
This is true because C ∞(X) satisfies the Hadamard lemma.
The derivations δ:C(X)→C(X) are all trivial.
Observe that generally every derivation vanishes on the function 1 that is constant on 1∈ℝ.
So let f∈C(X) with f(x 0)=0.
Notice that indeed both functions are continuous.
But also both functions vanish at x 0.
This implies that δ(f)(x 0)=δ(g 1)(x 0)g 2(x 0)+g 1(x 0)δ(g 2(x 0))=0.
This is briefly mentioned in Bredon 93, p. 199.

The concept is originally due to Felix Berezin.
A quantale is a closed monoidal suplattice.
(On affineness: see also semicartesian monoidal category.)
The name “quantale” was introduced by C.J. Mulvey.)
If a≤x and a≤y, then a=a⊗a≤x⊗y.
This shows that Idem is the right adjoint as claimed.
There is a natural bijective correspondence between congruences on a quantale Q and nuclei on Q.
In particular, one can then study enriched categories over a quantale.
Quantales are a surprisingly commonplace structure in computer science.
Residuation in this case is ideal division (𝔞:𝔟)={x|x𝔟⊆𝔞}.
(The operator is assumed to be covariant with respect to the poset structure.)
(see e.g. Yetter 90, page 43).
A stronger notion is of strong morphisms of quantales seen as monoidal categories.
This often occurs in practice.
(An example is to be developed for buildings.)
An ℳ-category is a category with two classes of morphisms: tight and loose.
Every †-category is an ℳ-category in which the tight morphisms are the unitary isomorphisms.
In particular, Hilbert spaces form an ℳ-category with unitary operators as tight morphisms.
Any strict category is an ℳ-category with equalities as the tight morphisms.
(Thus the wide subcategory of tight morphisms is skeletal.)
Again the tight isomorphisms are simply the equalities.
Similarly, quotient objects form an ℳ-category.
Let T be a strict 2-monad on a strict 2-category.

Remarks Co-Heyting algebras were initially called Brouwerian algebras .
In constructive mathematics, however, they are irreducibly different.
In classical mathematics, there are even more options.
Now comparison can be dropped, as it follows from transitivity and connectedness.
Thus the most common definition uses only trichotomy and transitivity.
(The first item, however, is an exception.)
The big example in analysis is the field of real numbers.

A homomorphism of PCA’s is a homomorphism of the underlying partial applicative structures.

Let us check that skk indeed represents the identity function I.
Consider the second projection function, corresponding to x 1∈Magma(A+{x 0,x 1}).
In other words, we calculate kIab=((kI)a)b=Ib=b.
Following the proof of functional completeness, we have λx.xx=s(λx.x)(λx.x)=sII
In other words, models of the untyped lambda calculus give PCA’s.
A preliminary technical task is to encode pairing and unpairing functions by elements of A.
In other words, the preorder P(A) X is a Heyting prealgebra.
Take f,g:X→P(A).
Then v=λb.p(tb)(ub) realizes h≤f∧g.
Thus f∧g is a product in the preorder.
Furthermore, suppose t realizes f≤h and u realizes g≤h.
Then v=λb.l(b)(p(t(rb))(u(rb))) realizes f∨g≤h.

This entry is about the phenomenon of universality in physics.
Sets of systems which are equivalent in this manner are known as universality classes.
People have identified universality classes, with varying degrees of rigour.
The universality classes we understand best correspond to fixed points of renormalization-group transforms.
This gives rise to what might be termed the ‘conformal periodic table’.
The first few examples may be identified with well-known universality classes.
Some relationships between columns can be identified.

A spatial locale is a locale that comes from a topological space.
This is an extra property of locales, a property of having enough points.
Let X be a topological space.
L has enough points, as defined above.
The corresponding condition on topological spaces is being sober.
However, it is still a bit long.
Occasionally one sees ‘spacial’ instead of ‘spatial’.
Assuming the axiom of choice, locally compact locales are spatial.
In particular, compact regular locales are locally compact, hence automatically spatial.
Any coherent locale is also spatial.
The completion of a uniform locale with a countable basis of uniformity is spatial.
Stonean locales are spatial.

An actual algebraic theory is one where all operations are total functions.
This gives a generalisation of Lawvere theories, which describe finitary algebraic theories.

We now discuss limits and colimits in 𝒞= Top.
The key for understanding these is the fact that there are initial and final topologies:

Therefore the plain category Top of all topological spaces is not a Cartesian closed category.
For instance on general pointed topological spaces the smash product is in general not associative.
This we turn to below.
The fundamental concept of homotopy theory is clearly that of homotopy.
This is simply a continuous path in X whose endpoints are x and y.
By composition this extends to a functor π 0:Top⟶Set.
But this is important, for instance in the proof of the Brown representability theorem.
See the section Brown representability theorem in Part S.
Every homotopy equivalence, def. , is a weak homotopy equivalence, def. .
In particular a deformation retraction, def. , is a weak homotopy equivalence.
This we turn to now.
This is the formal dual to example .
We consider topological spaces that are built consecutively by attaching basic cells.
A topological space X is a cell complex if ∅⟶X is a relative cell complex.
So let Y be a topological cell complex and C↪Y a compact subspace.
It is now sufficient to show that P has no accumulation point.
To that end, let c∈C be any point.
If c is a 0-cell in Y, write U c≔{c}.
Let γ be the ordinal of the full cell complex.
Hence it is now sufficient to show that β max=γ.
We argue this by showing that assuming β max<γ leads to a contradiction.
So assume β max<γ.
Hence via attaching along D n+1→D n+1×I the cylinder over σ is erected.
here the top pushout is the one from example .
Hence it is now sufficient to show that this is also a homotopy right inverse.
Hence the composite π n(X)⟶≃π n(X^) is an isomorphism.
These are called Hurewicz fibrations.
But for simple special cases this is readily seen directly, too.
Other deformations of the n-disks are useful in computations, too.
Assume that [α] is in the kernel of f *.
Hence π n(X^)→π n(X) has trivial kernel and so is injective.
B) I Top-injective morphisms are in particular Serre fibrations
Let f:X→Y be a Serre fibration that induces isomorphisms on homotopy groups.
However, without further auxiliary structure, these simplicial localizations are in general intractable.
is due to (Joyal, def. E.1.2).
We now dicuss the concept of weak factorization systems appearing in def. .
Let 𝒞 be any category.
By precomposition, this induces functors d i:𝒞 Δ[2]⟶𝒞 Δ[1].
Let 𝒞 be a category and let K⊂Mor(𝒞) be a class of morphisms.
Both classes contain the class of isomorphisms of 𝒞.
Both classes are closed under composition in 𝒞.
KProj is also closed under transfinite composition.
KProj is closed under forming coproducts in 𝒞 Δ[1].
KInj is closed under forming products in 𝒞 Δ[1].
We go through each item in turn.
Hence in particular there is a lift when p∈K and so i∈KProj.
The other case is formally dual.
Now the bottom commuting square has a lift, by assumption.
The case of composing two morphisms in KProj is formally dual.
Hence j has the left lifting property against all p∈K and hence is in KProj.
The other case is formally dual.
We need to construct a diagonal lift of that square.
The other case is formally dual.
By assumption, each of these has a lift ℓ s.
The other case is formally dual.
We need to show that then also f∈W.
First consider the case that f∈Fib.
This now exhibits f as a retract of an acyclic fibration.
These are closed under retract by prop. .
Now consider the general case.
Consider a composite morphism f:X⟶iA⟶pY.
We discuss the first statement, the second is formally dual.
This gets already close to producing the intended factorization:
For the present purpose we just need the following simple version: Definition
Let 𝒞 be a model category, def. , and X∈𝒞 an object.
X→Path(X) is a weak equivalence and Path(X)→X×X is a fibration.
and X⊔X→Cyl(X) is a cofibration.
Let 𝒞 be a model category.
We discuss the case of the path space object.
The other case is formally dual.
Let f,g:X⟶Y be two parallel morphisms in a model category.
Let f,g:X→Y be two parallel morphisms in a model category.
Let X be cofibrant.
Let Y be fibrant.
We discuss the first case, the second is formally dual.
Let η:Cyl(X)⟶Y be the given left homotopy.
The symmetry and reflexivity of the relation is obvious.
Let 𝒞 be a model category, def. .
For postcomposition we may choose to exhibit homotopy by left homotopy and argue dually.
Let 𝒞 be a model category.
The construction in def. is indeed well defined.
Now to see that the image on morphisms is well defined.
Moreover, it is a weak homotopy equivalence.
See the proof of the general statement at finite topological space - properties.
This is what is known as strong conceptual completeness.
(Maybe I’ll add some explicit computations later.)
A cartesian monoidal category which is also closed is called a cartesian closed category.
A strong monoidal functor between cartesian categories is called a cartesian functor.
These maps make any object into a comonoid.
If so, it is a theorem that C is a cartesian monoidal category.
As outlined above, cartesianity is an algebraic structure on top of a monoidal structure.
Traditionally this has been conceived in terms of model category presentations.
This we discuss in the section Model category presentation.
At the infinitesimal level automorphisms correspond to the derivations.
Its correct derived replacement is the cotangent complex of Grothendieck-Illusie.
The cotangent complex functor is effectively the left derived functor of the Kähler differentials assignment.
This is the Kähler differentials functor.
All said is true for simplicial commutative rings as well.
The André-Quillen cohomology of R is the cohomology of 𝕃Ω(R).
Let P •R be the corresponding bar construction simplicial algebra.
In particular, when C=..., then the cotangent complex assigns … .
See cotangent complex in derived geometry
For more background see deformation theory.
Apart from simplicial rings we can consider E ∞-rings.
See also deformation theory and references therein.
Thus it might reasonably be called simply a ℂ-linear †-category.
In a *-category, the dagger operation † is synonymously denoted *.
The negation of every stable equivalence relation is an apartness relation.
There is thus a potential conflict between these rewritten forms of the word.
It is usual to choose a ‘normal form’ for each word.
These might be our choice of normal forms for the elements.
Tracelets are the intrinsic carriers of causal information in categorical rewriting systems.

Definition Write 𝔽 2≔ℤ/2ℤ for the field with two elements.
Every Boolean topos is a De Morgan topos.
Injective Grothendieck toposes are De Morgan (cf. Johnstone 2002, p.739).

Then the slice topos ℰ/A is De Morgan as well.
This result due to Peter Johnstone appears e.g. in Johnstone (1979).
For a proof see Caramello (2009).

It has been found by Chevalley.
Consider schemes as covariant presheaves on CRing.
As such, they are examples of nice categories of spaces.
A primary example is the category of compactly generated spaces.
Frequently it is also felt desirable to add closure under certain types of subspaces.
This is in particular the case for compactly generated spaces.
See also Gaucher 2007, Sec. 2.
Further developments along these lines are inEscardo, Lawson &Simpson 2004:
Spaces which are Top-colimits of spaces in 𝒞 are called 𝒞-generated.
If the unit interval I is 𝒞-generated, then so are all CW-complexes.
The category of exponentiable spaces is not cartesian closed.
Suppose that an exponential ℝ ℕ exists in the category of locally compact Hausdorff spaces.

It is well-known that Top is not cartesian closed.
This typically involves the subtle and delicate interplay between compactness conditions and openness conditions.
For instance, it is monadic over Set (!) and a pretopos.
None of these is convenient in the precise sense above.
The requirements for convenience were spelled out in Brown 1964.

This treatment was adopted unchanged including the first edition of this monograph.
This naturally requires modifications to the usual axioms.
So only the unary version of / really matters.
In fact, only the last step is generally valid in a wheel.
Wheels are like rigs in that there is generally no notion of subtraction.
It is common to write /0 as ∞ and 0∞ as ⊥.
The original example is the wheel of real numbers, denoted ℝ ⊙.
Reciprocals are immediate: /(a:b)≔b:a.
The identities 0 and 1 in ℝ ⊙ are 0:1 and 1:1 respectively.
More generally, any real number a gives us an element a:1 of ℝ ⊙.
Now we're justified in writing a/b for a:b.
Fortunately, x+0=x and 1x=x remain true always.

The torsion-freeness condition says that F e=0.
This has been the historical route and is still widely used in the literature.
In other words, we just need to compute ∇ ∂ i∂ j.
So let S ij:=∇ ∂ i∂ j=∇ ∂ j∂ i, by symmetry.
Let T ijk:=∂ ig(∂ j,∂ k); these are smooth real functions.

B) I started a systematic study of C-infinity rings as such.
Of course, they were already there, but nothing had been done with them.
This, I think, is the most important concept in the subject.
It is the basic definition to start to build upon.
It is just the right concept needed.

This is true in full generality for the following case
the two respective diagrams become isomorphic, since Y× XU i→U i is in W.
The monomorphisms in PSh(S) which are in W are called dense monomorphisms.
Urs: the above shows this almost.
So we finally conclude: Corollaries
But for sheafification one really needs the local isomorphisms, i.e. the hypercovers.
In general A + is not yet a sheaf.
The original definition is in Jean Leray, L’anneau d’homologie d’une représentation.
This is an instance of change of enriching category.
Typically it is also assumed that G is Hausdorff.
(Notice that if not, then G/{1}¯ is Hausdorff.).
One often says just “locally compact group”.
In harmonic analysis We take here locally compact groups G to be also Hausdorff.
A similar argument is used for the right uniformity.

This entry relies on notation defined in generalized graph.
Wheeled graphs can have a number of attributes.
One of these, confusingly, is being wheel-free.
Using these definitions we can define the following sets:
Define Gr c ↺ to be the set of connected wheeled graphs.
Define Gr c ↑ to be the set of connected wheel-free graphs.
Any quiver can be realized as a wheeled graph in an obvious way.
This is the c-colored exceptional edge.
It can be represented schematically by↑ c.
This is the c-colored exceptional loop.
The involution ι can be thought of as “spinning” the loop.

We discuss first the definition of principal bundles
In the category of topological spaces This is historically and traditionally the default setup.
So the group G here is a topological group.
This is the original and oldest branch of the theory.
We start with the modern default notion and then look into its variants.
Let G be a topological group.
A standard modern textbook following this tradition is (Husemöller).
More along these lines is at geometry of physics – principal bundles.
In fact, this way every action becomes principal over its homotopy quotient.
This is discussed at principal ∞-bundle.
Under the Yoneda embedding this represents a prestack.
Write BG¯ for the corresponding stack obtained by stackification.
This is our GBund(−) GBund(−)=BG¯(−).
For instance for topological bundles this would be Top.
In higher category theory the notion of principal bundle has various vertical categorifications.
See for instance (Androulidakis).
We consider actions by topological groups and Lie groups.
This is originally due to (Gleason 50).
See e.g. (Cohen, theorem 1.3)
This is (Palais, theorem 4.1).
This is a direct corollary of prop. .
Originally this statement is due to (Samelson 41).
This is a corollary of theorem (Palais 61).
This cannot have local section because P is locally connected and G is not.
Therefore P is not even locally homeomorphic to (P/G)×G. Gauge theory

Namely, the generalized element u:X→U names the pullback of U˜→U along u.
Another way is, of course, to move outside of C.
The object U in this case is, of course, the subobject classifier.

The category of sind-objects of 𝒞 is written sind-𝒞 or SInd(𝒞).
It is the sifted colimit completion of 𝒞.
This exhibits Sind(𝒞) as the free sifted colimit completion of 𝒞.
𝒞 is a distributive category.
Sind(𝒞) is cartesian closed.
Of course extensions need not be central or even abelian.
An important class of non-abelian extensions are semidirect product Lie algebras.
The rule g↦ϕ(g) defines a homomorphism of Lie algebras ϕ:𝔤→Der(𝔨).
Thus we obtain a well-defined map ϕ *:𝔤/𝔨→Der(𝔨)/Int(𝔨).
The elements b∈𝔟 and k∈𝔨 in this decomposition are unique.
Thus we obtain a bijection 𝔤→𝔟×𝔨, g↦([g],−σ([g])+g).
The commutation rule has to be figured out.

This judgment is often written as “Ptrue”.
Neither of these judgements is the same thing as the proposition P itself.
The paradigmatic example of a judgment in type theory is a typing judgment.
Such a meta-type-theory is often called a logical framework.

So we can use these universal properties as definitions of the constructions!
These are known as universal constructions.
Of course, these definitions are not actually “constructions”.
We first look at a few concrete examples of universal properties.
These are all special cases of the ones described below.
In this case, we tend to write A×B for C.
Each of these may be defined by requiring it to satisfy a universal property.
In that case the cofinality is equivalent to the inclusion functor being a cofinal functor.
Nonempty subsets of a finite total order are cofinal iff they have the same maximum.

Alternatively, J(R) is the intersection of all maximal left ideals of R.
J(R) is the intersection of all maximal right ideals of R.
J(R) is a 2-sided ideal in R.
The rings for which J(R)=0 are called semiprimitive rings.
Given any ring R, the quotient R/J(R) is semiprimitive.

Let V be a shift space of some order.
Let T:V→V be a shift map.
It is simplest to start with the non-zero vectors, V∖{0}.
Define a homotopy H:[0,1]×(V∖{0})→V∖{0} by H t(v)=(1−t)v+tTv.
Then we define a homotopy G:[0,1]×(V∖{0})→V∖{0} by G t(v)=(1−t)Tv+tv 0.
Combining these two homotopies results in the desired contraction of V∖{0}.
If the third property is not required, one speaks of a seminorm.

This article is about ends (and coends) in category theory.
For ends in topology, see at end compactification.
These concepts are fundamental in enriched category theory.
The notion of coend is dual to the notion of end.
Let F:C op×C→X be a functor.
Then we define the end as follows:
Let F:C op×C→X be a functor.
In more detail, suppose C and X are categories.
(For coends one uses x hom(c,d) instead.)
This immediately implies a Fubini theorem for ends and coends.
Now we motivate and define the end in enriched category theory in terms of equalizers.
That leads to the following definition.
Let the enriching category be 𝒱= Set.
Any continuous functor preserves ends, and any cocontinuous functor preserves coends.
This has a terminal object, namely (e→Ide).
This statement is sometimes called the co-Yoneda lemma.
Ordinary limits commute with each other, if both limits exist separately.
The analogous statement does hold for ends and coends.
Let 𝒜 and ℬ be small 𝒱-enriched categories.
Let T:(𝒜⊗ℬ) op⊗(𝒜⊗ℬ)→𝒱 be a 𝒱-enriched functor.
Then we have [C,D](F,G)=∫ c∈CD(F(c),G(c)).
See Kan extension for more details.
A special case of the example of Kan extension is that of geometric realization.
So by the Yoneda lemma, we have F(c)≃∫ c′∈CC(c,c′)×F(c′).
For more examples see e.g. Loregian (2021).

There is a monotone map b:𝒪(X)→𝒪(X) which is left adjoint to j.
The nucleus j preserves arbitrary (not only finite) meets.
The geometric embedding Sh(X j)↪Sh(X) is an essential geometric morphism.
This also shows the equivalence of (1) and (3).
The equivalence of (4) and (5) is by definition.
Therefore continuity of the pullback functor translates to continuity of j.
This shows that (4) implies (2).
Conversely, assume (3).
By the adjoint functor theorem for Grothendieck toposes, statement (4) follows.
These relations follow from playing around with the adjunction.
Its left adjoint is b=(−∧u).
More generally, any locally connected sublocale is essential.

Sh(X)⊧X j↪1is an open sublocale.
X j↪X is an open sublocale.

The subspaces in a stratification are also called strata.
It is often convenient to construct stratifications by constructing their characteristic map.
(Such (characteristic,conservative)-factorizations are essentially unique.)
The example shows that any poset-stratification determines a unique stratification.
However, many poset-stratifications may determine the same stratification in this way.
The functor has a right inverse, as follows.
We obtain a functor ∥−∥:Pos→Strat.
Every classifying stratification is frontier-constructible (Rmk. ).
It makes sense to further terminologically distinguish maps of stratifications as follows.
Just as spaces have fundamental ∞-groupoids, stratified spaces also have “fundamental categories”.
(The table is further explained below.)
We describe two simple ways of constructing/presenting fundamental ∞-posets below.
Every conical stratification is frontier-constructible.
A notion of purely topologically stratified sets was introduced in

Every isomorphism is both an epimorphism and a monomorphism.
The epimorphisms in the category Set of sets are precisely the surjective functions.
Often, though, the surjections correspond to a stronger notion of epimorphism.
But beware that the converse fails:

If gf is an epimorphism, so is g.
Let h 1,h 2:b→c be two morphisms such that →g→h 1=→g→h 2.
Then by the commutativity of the diagram also x→y→b→h 1c equals x→y→b→h 2c.
But this means that h 1 and h 2 define the same cocone.
Let F:𝒞⟶𝒟 be a faithful functor.
We need to show that then f itself is an epimorphism.
So consider morphisms g,h:y⟶z such that g∘f=h∘f.
Here is another: Proposition
Any morphism to an initial object is an epimorphism.
The coproduct of epimorphisms is an epimorphism.
For the first suppose 0∈C is initial and f:x→0.
Since f 1 is epic we conclude g∘i 1=h∘i 1.
Similarly we have g∘i 2=h∘i 2.
The following discussion may be helpful in this regard.
Also worth noting are:
Thus, in general, the two serious distinctions come
(The plain epimorphisms are the surjective continuous functions.)
However, the distinction is real.

An important early example of a temporal logic is given by Arthur Prior‘s tense logic.
The reason for the notation F and P should be clear.
The dual of F is G, so Gϕ=¬F¬ϕ.
In other words R P should be the converse or opposite relation of R F.
We could have models with ‘circular time’, and ‘branching time’.
It is possible to specify a temporal type theory in the context of adjoint logic.
Now consider for the moment that C and D are propositions.
Similarly, interchanging b and e, we find P⊣G.
Note that we don’t have to assume the classical principle Gϕ=¬F¬ϕ and Hϕ=¬P¬ϕ.
Some have also considered hybrid approaches (Balb11).
In our current framework we have αCβ:≡Σ c(p *α×q *β).
In other words, we could take Time to be a semicategory.
This suggests a temporal interpretation of □ that is naturally formalised by using reflexive orderings.

Let X be a topological space and 𝒰 an open cover thereof.
The Schedule Theorem says that this can be done continuously over all paths in X.
To make this precise, we start with a set of labels.
Following Dyer and Eilenberg, let us write this as A.
The schedule monoid of A is the free monoid on the set A×T.
Its elements are schedules in A.
There are two notions of length for a schedule.
There is the word length which simply counts the number of pairs.
The set of reduced schedules forms a submonoid of SA which is written RSA.
The empty schedule is reduced.
Then SA is topologised by taking the coproduct over the set of words in A.
The reduced schedule monoid is topologised as the quotient of this.

Let X be a topological space.
Let us write A * for the free monoid on A.
We need an initial technical result.
Let us explain why this is a reasonable result.
Consider a path, α, of length l.
We pull back the cover 𝒰 to a cover of [0,l].
Choose n big enough so that l/n is less than this minimum length.
Thus the sets Y s≔{α:α‖ es} cover PX.
What is more complicated is reducing the family to a locally finite one.
Thus each α is contained in the interior of some D b.
Now let us put a total ordering on A *.
Write these as Q i, with Q 0 as the zero function.
It has the required covering property since the interiors of the D b cover PX.
Thus there is the potential for forgetting information when passing to a representation.
This can be a good thing, but it might not be.
This is in line with other uses of the word faithful.
The representation ρ is called faithful if its adjunct ρ˜ is a monomorphism.
Suppose that V is κ-compact object for some cardinal κ.
Proposition For G any algebraic group, then the regular representation is faithful.
Moreover, it has finite-dimensional faithful sub-representations.
The action is faithful if this function ρ˜ is injective.
(If V is a finite set then this is a symmetric group).
See at effective Lie groupoid for more on this.
The dual concept is initial algebra.
Define a coalgebra structure on Fx by Fθ:Fx→FFx.
By terminality of x, there is a unique coalgebra map f:Fx→x.
We claim this is inverse to θ.
To construct terminal coalgebras, the following result is useful and practical.
See Adámek's theorem on terminal coalgebras? for an extension of this result.
Let π n:L→F n1 be the n th projection of the limiting cone.
We claim the coalgebra (L,θ) is terminal.
Indeed, suppose (x,η:x→Fx) is any coalgebra.
Theorem The interval [0,1] is terminal in the category of coalgebras.
By iteration, this generates a behavior stream (x n,h n).
(More material can be found at coalgebra of the real interval.)
See Johnstone’s Elephant, section D.4.7, for an extended discussion.
The notion of terminal coalgebra may be categorified.
Further discussion of this point is given at pure set.

So in particular for Φ=0, this is stability of the underlying vector bundle.

A space is compact if any open cover of it has a finite subcover.

locally compact Hausdorff spaces deserve special mention since they are exponentiable in Top.

It is equivalent in strength to the material set theory ZF.
Conversely, ETCS can be augmented by a replacement axiom to become equivalent to SEARC.
Every element is an element of some set.
However, ZFC and ETCS also differ along another axis than the material-structural.
If φ is a relation from A to B we write φ:A↬B.
(Thus SEAR respects the principle of equivalence.)
We write φ(x,y) when φ holds of x and y.
Axiom 1 basically says that relations are what we expect them to be intuitively.
It should remind the reader of the axiom of separation.
Here are some things we can do with them.
By Axiom 0, there exists a set A.
Using Axiom 2, let ∅ be a tabulation of φ.
From now on we fix a particular set ∅ having no elements.
There exists a set 1 which has exactly one element.
By Axiom 0, there exists a set A containing an element x.
Likewise, to every function g:1→A there corresponds a unique element x∈A, by g(⋆)=x.
We define a subset of a set A to be a relation S:1↬A.
If S(⋆,x) we write x∈S.
Combined with Axiom 1, this implies the following separation property.
The properties of tabulations immediately imply that B is a bijection.
The composite of functions is a function, and the identity relation is a function.
See also the section on Universes, below.
In both of these (meta-)categories, the isomorphisms are the bijections.
It is called the cartesian product of A and B.
In particular, Set has products.
By definition, we have an injection m:im(f)↪B.
It is easy to verify the rest.
This association happens via a specified relation between A and PA.
It follows that Set is a topos (and Rel is a power allegory).
Extensionality of functions implies that it is unique.
As usual, power sets also imply the existence of function sets.
It follows that Set is a cartesian closed category.
This produces bijections such as C A×B≅(C A) B and P(A×B)≅(PA) B.
We now construct quotient sets.
In particular, this axiom implies that Set has a natural numbers object.
Note also that Axiom 4 implies Axiom 0.
The final axiom of SEAR is somewhat trickier to motivate.
One way to motivate the collection axiom is as follows.
The set indexed by each element a∈A is M a={x∈X|M(a,x)}.
Let’s now unravel that.
The ghost of a relation A↬U is even easier.
Thus, the ghost of a relation A↬U is simply such a property.
We now kill U and inspect the ghostly remnants of this tabulation.
The latter remains to be gone more into.)
One thing that Axiom 5 is good for is the recursive construction of sets.
Axiom 5 allows us to do that.
(more detail to be added here…)
By Diaconescu’s argument, Choice implies the logic is classical.
We may call SEAR interpreted in intuitionistic logic ISEAR.
We may call this variation of SEAR PSEAR.
We may call this variation of SEAR CSEAR.
Compare Erik Palmgren's constructive ETCS.
Therefore, bounded SEARC implies ETCS.
It follows that ETCS also implies bounded SEARC, so the two are equivalent.
It is fairly straightforward to construct a model of SEAR from a model of ZF.
Define A′={a∈A|∃X.P(a,X)}.
let λ a be the smallest such λ.
Let Y be the union of this set.
Note the use of the axiom of foundation in addition to the axiom of replacement.
Conversely, from any model of SEAR one can construct a model of ZF.
The basic idea of this process is described at pure set.
Thus D satisfies the requirement of the ZF axiom of collection.
Every topos has an internal logic, which is a type theory.
Of course, if the topos is boolean, then the logic can be classical.
Making alternate primitive choices Three-sorted SEAR
Using pairs and subsets instead of relations
Sets and elements are as before.
Thus we have a typing declaration S⊆A.
We allow a typed equality predicate for subsets.
Axiom 0 is the same as before.
We define functions and their properties as before.
Using pairs and functions instead of relations
One could use functions instead of relations.
Sets and elements are as before.
Axiom 0 is the same as before.
Thus, the principle of unique choice holds.
However, we can also make equality into structure.
This is definitely not along the “more accessible to undergraduates” direction!
But it may sometimes be technically helpful.
Axiom 0 requires no modification.
Before stating the version of Axiom 2 we need some definitions.
The construction of ∅ is just as in ordinary SEAR.
The same idea applies to all the other axioms.
In model theory, one could construct models of a particular theory C.
As a result, C is an elementarily topical dagger 2-poset.

Contiguity gives a constructive form of homotopy applicable to simplicial maps.
Set ψy′=x for one such x.
The two maps φ Kφ K′ and ψψ¯′ are contiguous.
We have that φ K′ is clearly order reversing so φ K′x i″⊆φ K′x 0″.
Let y=φ¯φ K′x 0″, then for each x∈φ K′x 0″, xRy.
φ Kψ′ and ψφ L′ are contiguous.
Thus we see that |ψ¯||ψ| is homotopic to the identity on |L R|.

Ordinary categories can be defined as monads in the bicategory of spans of sets.

First we show S is closed.
Denote the bottom element of L by ⊥.

A duoidal category is a category with two monoidal structures which interchange laxly.
If this map is an isomorphism, the duoidal category is called normal.
A virtual duoidal category is a pseudomonoid in the 2-category of multicategories.

Instead of subgroups, use antisubgroups.
An antisubgroup A is normal if pq∈A whenever qp∈A.
The trivial antisubgroup is the ≠-complement of {1}.
Instead of ideals (of rings), use antiideals.
(Technically, these are antisubalgebras of the ring as a module over itself.)
Again we can omit ≠-openness by strengthening the nullary condition.
It follows that an antiideal A is proper iff 1∈A.
The trivial antiideal is the ≠-complement of {0}.
Note that a union of antisubalgebras is again an antisubalgebra.
In general, instead of congruence relations, use anticongruence relations.

This is represented in Ω by two vertices.
χ X maps edges with only the source vertex in X to x.
χ X maps edges with only the target vertex in X to y.
The negation ¬:Ω→Ω is defined as the characteristic map of ⊥:1→Ω.

More specifically, a mixed state is often described as an ensemble of quantum systems.
The expectation value of A over the state |ψ α⟩ is ⟨A⟩ α=⟨ψ α|A|ψ α⟩.
Density matrices that possess non-zero off-diagonal terms represent superposition states.
Any physical process that has the effect of suppressing the coherences is known as decoherence.
Moreover, every mixed state comes from the partial trace of a pure state.
Expand ρ as ρ=∑ αρ α|ψ α⟩⟨ψ α|.
Hence, we can consider the state ρ˜=∑ αρ α|ψ α⟩⊗⟨ψ α|∈V⊗V *.
Tracing V * out of ρ˜ allows us to recover ρ.

Let κ be an arity class.
As usual for arity classes, the cases of most interest have special names:
When κ={1} we say unary.
When κ=ω is the set of finite cardinals, we say finitary.

A finiteness space is a set X equipped with a 𝒰⊆P(X) such that 𝒰=𝒰 ⊥⊥.
Properties All finite subsets of X belong to 𝒰 ⊥ for any 𝒰.
Thus, in a finiteness space all finite subsets are both finitary and cofinitary.
Any set of the form 𝒰 ⊥ is closed under finite unions.
Taking 𝒰= all finite subsets of X gives a minimal finiteness structure on X.
Dually, taking 𝒰= all subsets of X gives a maximal finiteness structure.
The maximal and minimal finiteness structures are dual.
We cannot obtain any other finiteness spaces purely by cardinality restriction.
Then this is a finiteness space.
If v⊆Y is cofinitary, then R −1[v]={x∈X∣∃y∈v,xRy} is cofinitary.
FinSp rel is star-autonomous (see Ehrhard).
FinSp par is closed (see BCJS).
Let Set par denote the category of sets and partial functions.
Thus each f i becomes a morphism in FinSp par.
But then g −1(x)⊆g −1(f i −1(f i(x))), hence is cofinitary.
A similar argument shows that FinSp par has all inhabited limits.
Its objects are finiteness spaces.
We write this morphism in FinSp rel as supp(M):X→Y.

The study of topological spaces with continuous functions up to homotopy is called homotopy theory.
Interestingly, this plays an even more fundamental role in mathematics.
For some introductory exposition see at Higher Structures in Mathematics and Physics.
This approach to homotopy theory is called algebraic topology.
But there are more interesting and richer homotopy invariants of topological spaces.
The collection of these tangent spaces forms a vector bundle called the tangent bundle.
The graphics on the right shows one tangent space to the 2-sphere.
We now say some of this again, at a slightly more technical level.
This simple construction turns out to yield remarkably useful groups of homotopy invariants.
As such it is represented by a spectrum.
For k=ℂ this is called KU, for k=ℝ this is called KO.
(There is also the unification of both in KR-theory.)
For k=ℝ the periodicity is 8, for k=ℂ it is 2.
This is called Bott periodicity.
As the terminology indicates, both spin geometry and Dirac operator originate in physics.
Now Dirac operators are generalized to Fredholm operators.
Consider an interval in a topological space X, namely a continuous map σ:[0,1]→X.
Its boundary is the two endpoints σ(0):*→X and σ(1):*toX.
Similarly a formal sum of points is then called a 0-chain.
Clearly, it is measure for the connected components of X.
It satisfies the fundamental identity that The boundary of a boundary vanishes, ∂∘∂=0.
This section reviews some basic notions in topology and homotopy theory.
These will all serve as blueprints for corresponding notions in homological algebra.
For n=0 this is the point, Δ 0=*.
For n=1 this is the standard interval object Δ 1=[0,1].
For n=2 this is the filled triangle.
For n=3 this is the filled tetrahedron.
Topological spaces with continuous maps between them form the category Top.
This notion of based homotopy is an equivalence relation.
It is also a special case of the general discussion at homotopy.
This construction has a fairly straightforward generalizations to “higher dimensional loops”.
Let X be a topological space and x:*→X a point.
The 0th homotopy group is taken to be the set of connected components.
Reflexivity and transitivity are trivially checked.
But we can consider the genuine equivalence relation generated by weak homotopy equivalence:
(This data is called a Postnikov tower of X.)
This construction makes the sets of simplices into abelian groups.
By linearity, it is sufficient to check this on a basis element σ∈S n.
Let X be a topological space.
Let σ 2:Δ 2→X be a singular 2-chain.
This generality we come to below in the next section.
For X a connected, orientable manifold of dimension n we have H n(X)≃ℤ.
The precise choice of this isomorphism is a choice of orientation on X.
This is called the push-forward of σ along f.
From this the statement follows since ℤ[−]:sSet→sAb is a functor.
Therefore we have an “abelianized analog” of the notion of topological space:
Composition of such chain maps is given by degreewise composition of their components.
In particular for each n∈ℕ singular homology extends to a functor H n(−):Top→Ab.
We therefore also have an “abelian analog” of weak homotopy equivalences:
In summary: chain homology sends weak homotopy equivalences to quasi-isomorphisms.
This clearly induces an isomorphism on all homology groups.
This is made precise by the central notion of the derived category of chain complexes.
We turn to this below in section Derived categories and derived functors.
But quasi-isomorphisms are a little coarser than weak homotopy equivalences.
First we need a comparison map:
Its kernel is the commutator subgroup of π 1(X,x).
This is known as the Hurewicz theorem.
Then one speaks of vector bundles.
Some vector bundles are “tautological”.
It is possible to take this construction and allow n to go to infinity.
In the following we take Top to denote compactly generated topological spaces.
For these the Cartesian product X×(−) is a left adjoint and hence preserves colimits.
Similarly the nth complex Grassmannian of ℂ k is the coset topological space.
As such this is the standard presentation for the O(n)-universal principal bundle.
Its base space BO(n) is the corresponding classifying space.
Consider the coset quotient projection O(k−n)⟶O(k)⟶O(k)/O(k−n)=V n(ℝ k).
This implies the claim.
Consider the coset quotient projection U(k−n)⟶U(k)⟶U(k)/U(k−n)=V n(ℂ k).
The colimiting space EO(n)=lim⟶ kV n(ℝ k) from def. is weakly contractible.
The same kind of argument applies to the complex case.
Hence also the to morphisms is an isomorphism.
The claim in then follows since (this exmpl.) O(n+1)/O(n)≃S n.
This is called the Grothendieck group construction.
In fact K(X) has more structure than just that of an abelian group.
The tensor product of vector bundles makes it a ring.
This involves noticing a list of useful properties satisfied by these functors.
This is most useful for computing generalized cohomology groups.
Write Top CW */ for the corresponding category of pointed topological spaces.
Write Ab ℤ for the category of integer-graded abelian groups.
We may rephrase this more intrinsically and more generally:
Let 𝒞 be an (∞,1)-category with (∞,1)-pushouts, and with a zero object 0∈𝒞.
Write Σ:𝒞→𝒞:X↦0⊔X0 for the corresponding suspension (∞,1)-functor.
We identify Top CW↪Top CW ↪ by X↦(X,∅).
Hence the excision axiom implies E •(X,B)⟶≃E •(A,A∩B).
Conversely, suppose E • satisfies the alternative condition.
Let E • be an cohomology theory, def. , and let A↪X.
Consider U≔(Cone(A)−A×{0})↪Cone(A), the cone on A minus the base A.
Let E • be an unreduced cohomology theory, def. .
Define a reduced cohomology theory, def. (E˜ •,σ) as follows.
This is clearly functorial.
By lemma we have an isomorphism E˜ •(X∪Cone(A))=E •(X∪Cone(A),{*})⟶≃E •(X,A).
Hence the left vertical sequence is exact.
Let (E˜ •,σ) be a reduced cohomology theory, def. .
The construction in def. indeed yields an unreduced cohomology theory.
Proof Exactness holds by prop. .
For excision, it is sufficient to consider the alternative formulation of lemma .
For CW-inclusions, this follows immediately with lemma .
That however is isomorphic to the unreduced mapping cone of the original inclusion.
With this the natural isomorphism is given by lemma .
As before, this is isomorphic to the unreduced mapping cone of the point inclusion.
Finally we record the following basic relation between reduced and unreduced cohomology:
Hence this is a split exact sequence and the statement follows.
This is called the clutching construction.
This is very useful for computations.
This has dramatic consequences, which we see when we discuss the Adams operations below.
In fact its ring structure makes it a multiplicative cohomology theory.
This makes K an even periodic cohomology theory.
But in fact there are yet more operations on vector bundles.
We observe their basic properties, which make them most useful for characterizing topological spaces.
This is the next topic.
We saw how topological K-theory arises from pairing topology with linear algebra.
There are variaous further refinements of topological K-theory obtained by refining these ingredients.
This now pairs topology with representation theory.
We include it for completeness and as outlook.

Regardless, every subset A of X has both an outer measure?
The a subset of X is measurable if it belongs to ℳ.

Lemma (fiber-wise diagonal of covering space is open and closed)
Let E→pX be a covering space.
First to see that it is an open subset.
It follows that U p(e)×{e}⊂E is an open neighbourhood.
These are disjoint by the assumption that e 1≠e 2.
We discuss left lifting properties satisfied by covering spaces.
This is the statement to be proven.
Let p:E→X be any covering space.
Now the lifting condition explicitly fixes pr 1(γ^)=γ.
This shows the statement for the case of trivial covering spaces.
Now consider any covering space p:E→X.
Consider such a choice {U x⊂X} x∈X.
This is an open cover of X.
Now assume that γ^| [0,t j] has been found.
By induction over j, this yields the required lift γ^.
Therefore also the total lift is unique.
Altrnatively, uniqueness of the lifts is a special case of lemma .
This is the required lift.
says that covering projections are in particular Hurewicz fibrations.
Let p:E→X be a covering space.
With this the statement follows from .
Then the following are equivalent:
The implication 1)⇒2) is immediate.
We need to show that the second statement already implies the first.
Therefore f^(y′)≔f∘γ^(1) is a lift of f(y′).
This will prove the claim.
Hence let γ′:[0,1]→Y be another path in Y that connects y with y′.
We need to show that then f∘γ′^=f∘γ^.
But γ′⋅(γ¯′⋅γ) is homotopic (via reparameterization) to just γ.
This shows that the above prescription for f^ is well defined.
It only remains to show that the function f^ obtained this way is continuous.
Let y′∈Y be a point and W f^(y′)⊂E an open neighbourhood of its image in E.
Let U f(y′)⊂X be an open neighbourhood over which p trivializes.
This shows that the lifted function is continuous.
Finally that this continuous lift is unique is the statement of lemma .
Let X be a topological space and E→pX a covering space.

The usual notions of full functors and faithful functors can be generalized to anafunctors.
Anafunctors can be composed via pullback.

This includes quark confinement, mass generation, and chiral symmetry breaking.
But we are lucky to have a tractable and fundamental problem to solve while waiting.
And God said, “I do not understand a damn thing”
Hadrons are composed of quarks and are thus not fundamental particles of the Standard Model.
However, their properties follow from yet unsolved mysteries of the strong interaction.
The quark confinement conjecture is experimentally well tested, but mathematically still unproven.
And it is still unknown which combinations of quarks may or may not form hadrons.
Experimental guidance is needed to help improving theoretical models.
QCD and its relatives are special because QCD is the theory of nature.
It does not capture drastic rearrangement of the vacuum structure related to confinement.
Non-perturbative methods were desperately needed.

Relations between gauge fields and strings present an old, fascinating and unanswered question.
The full answer to this question is of great importance for theoretical physics.
Moreover, in the SU(N) gauge theory the strings interaction is weak at large N.
The challenge is to build a precise theory on the string side of this duality.
This is, however, very different from the picture of strings as flux lines.
Interestingly, even now people often don’t distinguish between these approaches.
However there are cases in which t’Hooft’s mechanism is really working.

These are generalized into Delta lenses, which are more flexible lawful lenses.
For instance, see Myers, Spivak & Niu or Hedges (2021).
Sometimes a lens satisfying all three laws is said to be lawful.

Proposition Lenses are algebras for a monad generated by the adjunction: Proof
See also the possibility operator.
See (Johnson-Rosebrugh-Wood 2010, Corollary 13).

A central point of the nLab is that information is linked.
Ideally, each and every keyword would be hyperlinked, certainly when it occurs first.
Don’t assume that the reader has the same background as you have.
Typically each author decides on his or her own.
Note that the tag must be placed at the end.
Strangely single bracket link texts allow math expressions while double bracket texts don’t.

Note that these tags must be at the start of the text.
See equation (eq-colon-SomeEquation).
Only word characters are allowed in LaTeX display labels.
In particular, the hyphen character - cannot be used.
This is in contrast to labels for theorem environments.
This is due to use of different parsers.
How to make comments and ask questions
In general, the place to make comments and ask questions is at the nForum.

This functor is a right adjoint.
The first condition is trivial, since all objects are fibrant.
Such objects are modeled by the model structure on simplicial presheaves on C.
In the remainder of this section we assume such a choice to be fixed.
Below in the section on Examples and applications we discuss concrete choices of interest.
The adjunction that we shall be concerned with is essentially Isbell conjugation.
We recall some basics of Function T-algebras on presheaves.
This is what the following definition deals with.
We call 𝒪(X)∈TAlg op the T-algebra of functions on X.
This extends to a functor 𝒪:[C op,sSet]→(TAlg Δ) op.
Let S⊂mor[C op,sSet] be a class of split hypercovers.
This establishes that j is a right Quillen functor and completes the proof.
Regard f as a simplicial object in the overcategory Sh(C)/X≃Sh(C/X).
We obtain a proof of this after the following discussions.
Remark The resulting localization modality Spec𝒪 we might call the affine modality.
It is similar to exhibiting C as a total category.
The following proposition provides a model for these Eilenberg-MacLane objects.
This is essentially the argument of (Toën, corollary 2.2.6).
Hence by the general properties of transferred model structures, also TAlg proj Δ is.
Hence L is the full sub-(∞,1)-category of H on R-local objects.
Set H≔Sh (∞,1)(C).
By construction 𝒪 is a colimit-preserving (∞,1)-functor between locally presentable (∞,1)-categories.
Accordingly, by the adjoint (∞,1)-functor theorem is has a right adjoint (∞,1)-functor.
This is given by Spec(A):U↦(cdgAlg k op) ∘(U,A).
In this case the adjunction is that considered in (Toën).
This is what we discuss in more detail below.
Write SmoothAlg≔TAlg for the category of smooth algebras.
As a consequence of this, we have the following useful technical result.

A reference for right properness is (Bergner 04, prop. 3.5).
In this case X is also called a G-torsor.
First we show that Aut G(X) acts freely on X.
But then G-equivariance implies that ϕ(y)=ϕ(g*x)=g*ϕ(x)=g*x=y.
For example, the five Platonic solids may be represented as regular combinatorial maps.
In homotopy type theory We discuss regular actions via homotopy type theory.
Restriction to 1-groups is unnecessary here, and we say
An ∞-action of an ∞-group is a regular ∞-action if its homotopy quotient is contractible.
First, we need to argue that X(*) is merely inhabited.
Since X is regular, we have ∑ (b:BG)X(b) contractible.
This gives a center of contraction (b,x).
Again, we first show that X(*) is merely inhabited.
The total space of X˜ has center of contraction (P,p 0).
Now ‖X(*)‖ follows from p 0:P(*).
This gives us the center of contraction (*,x 0).
However, now we get to use that BG is connected.

The set of H-cosets is a cover of G by disjoint open subsets.
Any localic subgroup of a localic group is closed (see this Theorem).

Every local topos is a retract of a Freyd cover.
This appears as (Johnstone, lemma C3.6.4).
Since it is a right adjoint it preserves the terminal object.
Since Γ(X)≃Hom(*,X) (see global section geometric morphism), the claim follows.
Remark In a topos every epimorphism is an effective epimorphism.
Therefore X→* being an epi means that X is a (-1)-connected object.
The same is true for any local (infinity,1)-topos.
See concrete sheaf for details.
We discuss first the setup and then the axioms themselves.
This appears as (AwodeyBirkedal, lemma 2.3).
Axiom 1. j is essential.
Axiom 4. Discrete objects are closed under binary products.
These axioms characterize local geometric morphisms ℰ→Sh j(ℰ)≃D j(ℰ).
Therefore Γ preserves all colimits.
Hence by the adjoint functor theorem it has a further right adjoint CoDisc.
The converse to prop. is true if C is Cauchy complete.
For instance CartSp is a local site.
Objects in Sh(C) are generalized smooth spaces such as diffeological spaces.
Of course, this is the origin of the terminology.
We check that the global section geometric morphism Γ:ℰ/X→Set preserves colimits.
Moreover, overserve that colimits in the over category are computed in ℰ.
So Γ does commute with colimits if X is tiny.

Let (X,τ) be a compact topological space.
Then every net in X has a convergent subnet.
Proof Let ν:A→X be a net.
We need to show that there is a subnet which converges.
To this end, we first need to build the domain directed set B.
It is clear B is a preordered set.
Hence with U bd≔U 1∩U 2 we have obtained the required pair.
Hence we have defined a subnet ν∘f.
Hence assume that (X,τ) is not compact.
We need to produce a net without a convergent subnet.
Consider then P fin(I), the set of finite subsets of I.
We will show that this net has no converging subnet.
This would imply that x J≠U x for all J⊃{i x}.
This hence satisfies both ν f(e)∈U x as well as {i x}⊂f(b 1)⊂f(b).
Thus we have a proof by contradiction.
In constructive mathematics, this statement is equivalent to excluded middle.
Every inhabited subset of {0,1} is a directed poset.
: this means that a≤β(a,b) and b≤β(a,b).
Thus the subset inclusion i:P↪{0,1} is a net.
If x=0, then suppose that 1∈P.
Thus, the law of excluded middle is true for all propositions p.
This has a monoid structure (up to homotopy) given by concatenation of loops.

Moreover, like Th Vect, the theory Th Aff is a commutative theory.
Well that’s rubbish isn’t it.
But I find an affine module of a rig to be a trickier concept.
Perhaps first one should look for a version of a heap corresponding to a monoid?
Yes, that would be an affine ℕ-module.
Affine spaces typically serve as local models for more general kinds of spaces.
Similarly, in algebraic geometry a scheme is locally isomorphic to an affine scheme.

The relation ≤ is reflexive and transitive, by functional completeness for PCA’s.
Let Split per(Rel T) be the bicategory obtained by splitting the PERs.
This generalization is not vacuous either.
Thus, nonequivalent weak triposes over Set can give rise to equivalent toposes.
This is also known as an H-valued set.
(We do not assume reflexivity, where ⊤≤e(x,x) for all x.)
The function e can be thought of as a measure of equality.
Such morphisms r are called relations between H-valued sets.
Then, in the unitary tabular allegory, split equivalence relations.
Of course, the topos obtained from a tripos has an internal logic.

So, what is a model category?
The fibrations play the role of ‘nice surjections’.
More generally the fibrations here are the Serre fibrations.
The cofibrations play the role of ‘nice inclusions’.
See homotopy category of a model category for more on that.
Definition The following is a somewhat terse account.
Colimits of larger cardinality are sometimes required for the small object argument, however.
There are several extra conditions that strengthen the notion of a model category:
A cofibrantly generated model category is one with a good compatible notion of cell complexes.
Semimodel categories relax some of the conditions on lifting properties.
Weak model categories relax these conditions even further.
We need to show that then also f∈W.
First consider the case that f∈Fib.
In this case, factor w as a cofibration followed by an acyclic fibration.
This now exhibits f as a retract of an acyclic fibration.
These are closed under retract by this prop..
Now consider the general case.

A measure is complete if every full set is measurable.
Again, we don't have to bother with S in a positive measure space.
In the following, ‘measurable’ will mean μ-measurable.
That is, we assume that μ is complete and identify μ-equivalent functions.
A measurable function f is integrable with respect to μ if this integral converges.
If it is, then we say that f is absolutely integrable.
We can then define the integral of f; we always have ‖∫fμ‖≤∫‖f‖μ.

Clearly, if |I|=1 this reduces to the usual notion of orthogonality for morphisms.
Note there is no restriction on the sinks involved to be small.
The dual notion is a factorization structure for cosinks (“sources”).
Dually, if p is an opfibration, we can lift factorization structures for cosinks.
Properties M consists of monics

The concept is usually found in places with a geometric or topological flavour.
Étale maps between noncommutative rings have also been considered.
I do not understand this statement.
Analytic spaces have a different structure sheaf; in general nilpotent elements are allowed.
This is additional structure not present in theory of smooth spaces.
The idea of étale morphisms can be axiomatized in any topos.
This idea goes back to lectures by André Joyal in the 1970s.
See (Joyal-Moerdijk 1994) and (Dubuc 2000).
Axiomatizations of the notion of étale maps in general toposes are discussed in
(Note that disjoint coproducts in a coherent 2-category are always universal.)
First suppose given two morphisms f,g:Z→A 1+A 2.

Then a lies in disjoint sets B and A∩X, contradiction.)
If we drop separation, then we get pseudometric spaces.
If we drop the symmetry condition, then we get quasimetric spaces.
(This include for example p-adic completions of number fields.)
Extended quasipseudoultrametric spaces can also be called Lawvere ultrametric spaces.
This is equivalently an (R ≥0,≥,+,0)-enriched set.
The restriction to ordinary metric spaces is denoted by Met ord.
Imposing the symmetry axiom then gives us enriched †-categories.
However, perhaps it makes more sense just to speak about enriched †-categories.)
But in fact this gives us nothing new, at least if we have symmetry.

Tensor products of abelian groups were defined by Hassler Whitney in 1938.
Equivalently this means explicitly:
The following relates the tensor product to bilinear functions.
The unit object in (Ab,⊗) is the additive group of integers ℤ.
This shows that A⊗ℤ→A is in fact an isomorphism.
σ 2 is identity, so it gives Ab a symmetric monoidal structure.
Proposition A monoid in (Ab,⊗) is equivalently a ring.
This is precisely the distributivity law of the ring.
A proof is spelled out for instance as (Conrad, theorem 4.1).

If the terminal object is also initial, it is called a zero object.
Other notations for a terminal object include * and pt.
A terminal object may also be viewed as a limit over the empty diagram.
Conversely, a limit over any diagram is a terminal cone over that diagram.
Some examples of terminal objects in notable categories follow:
The terminal object of a poset is its top element, if it exists.
Any one-element set is a terminal object in the category Set.
The terminal object of Top is the point space.
The terminal object of Ring is the zero ring.
Corollary Every metric space X has a σ-locally discrete base.

The group cohomology of a group G is the cohomology of its delooping BG.
This cohomology classifies group extensions of G.
Finally one can break this further down into components In
Let H be an (∞,1)-topos.
Let G∈Grp(H) be a group object, an ∞-group, in H.
Write BG∈H for its delooping.
Regarded as an object in the slice (∞,1)-topos H /BG
Write then ℤ[G]∈Ring for the group algebra of G over the integers.
Write 𝒜≔ℤ[G]Mod for the category ℤ[G]Mod of modules over ℤ[G].
This decomposition gives rise to a Grothendieck spectral sequence for the group cohomology.
This is called the Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence.
For emphasis we highlight these special cases separately.
This is presented by the standard model structure on simplicial sets, Disc∞Grpd≃L whesSet.
This we turn to now.
The composition gives you a COMONAD of (G-rep).
A comonad is just a categorification of a comonoid.
This is what is described above for discrete groups.
It needs to be further resolved, instead.
As such it is in general not both cofibrant and fibrant.
Doing requires more work.
This is discussed at Lie group cohomology

But n-groupoids approximating this non-existant delooping do exists.
Cohomology of BG with coefficients in these is called nonabelian group cohomology or Schreier theory.

Group cocycles classify group extensions.
This is often discussed only for 2-cocycles and extensions by ordinary groups.

Girard describes four levels of semantics: alethic, functional, interactive, and deontic.
The negatively first, alethic, is the layer of truth or models.
The negatively second, functional, is the layer of functions or categories.
The negatively third, interaction, is the layer of games or game semantics.
The negatively fourth, deontic, is the layer of normativity or formatting.
This is related to the distinction between existentialism and essentialism in philosophy.
We can obtain two alternative notions of typing:
This corresponds to types “à la Curry” where untyped computational objects are typed.
In this case, types are designed and not defined as primitive objects.
Getting rid of semantics
A major difference seems to be the starting point and the primitives considered.
This is something which can be considered in the transcendental syntax.
A logical system can then be extracted from these techniques.
Both can be typed and testing extends to any model of computation.
There is a canonical action of G + on Spec(L).
Studying this is the topic of chromatic homotopy theory.

So far, pure motives and mixed motives have only been defined conditionally.
Part of the formalism involves more general schemes than varieties.
Thus one has in fact an abelian tensor category of motives.
However, there exist candidate and conditional constructions which are useful in practice.
Traditionally, S is the spectrum of a field, often of characteristic zero.
Nori’s construction unconditionally produces a ℚ-Tannakian category of mixed motives over any subfield of ℂ.
Thus, the abelian category of motives always refers to motives with rational coefficients.
The first definition was proposed by Voevodksy in the mid 1990s.
The latter three are equivalent and support a full-fledged formalism of six operations.
It is known to agree with Voevodsky’s definition for fields of characteristic zero.
Definition SH(S) ℚ + is the stable (∞,1)-category of Morel motives.
Thus, the other summand SH(S) ℚ − only appears over formally real fields.
It is called the category of Witt motives.
The resulting (∞,1)-category is denoted DA et(S,ℚ).
The stable (∞,1)-category of Beilinson motives is the (∞,1)-category of modules over H B.
They have also shown that Beilinson/Morel motives are equivalent to Ayoub motives.
Correspondences are interesting in noncommutative geometry of the operator algebra flavour.
In birational geometry, Bruno Kahn defined the appropriate version.

There are two definitions of the Euler characteristic of a chain complex.
When both of these are defined, they are equal.
This is a consequence of the functoriality of the categorical definition (Definition ).
This definition is usually known as the Euler-Poincaré formula.
Historically earlier was: Definition/Proposition
Let X be a finite CW-complex.
Write cell(X) k for the set of its k-cells.
Then the Euler characteristic of X is χ(X)=∑ k∈ℕ(−1) k|cell(X) k|.
All the definitions considered so far can be subsumed by the following general abstract one.
This subsumes the previous definitions as follows:
Thus we recover Def. .
A similar argument shows that its Euler characteristic is then computed as in Def. .
See around DoldPuppe, corollary 4.6).
See (PontoShulman) and the discussion at Thom spectrum for more on this.
Similar in construction is the alternating product of sizes of homotopy groups.
This goes by the name ∞-groupoid cardinality or homotopy cardinality .
In fact one can assume the category to be a poset.

Let C be a finite category.
A coweighting on C is a weighting on the opposite category C op.
The definition of Euler characteristic of posets appears for instance in (Rota).
For groupoids it has been amplified in BaezDolan.
Since that is integral, in these cases also χ(C) is.
The ordinary case is recovered for V= FinSet and |−|:FinSet→ℝ the ordinary cardinality operation.

Analogously there is the concept of right Leibniz algebras in the evident way.
The isomorphisms of extensions of 𝔤 by M with fixed action are defined as usual.
This way we obtain a set of equivalence classes Ext(𝔤,M).
To classify the extensions one looks for compatible Leibniz brackets on M⊕𝔤.
There are standard interpretations of cocycles in low dimensions.
For example for n=0, HL 0(𝔤,M) is the submodule of invariants.

Let K be a Grothendieck 2-topos.
In particular: K is always 2-truncated.
K is 1-truncated if it has enough discretes.
K is (-1)-truncated if the terminal object is an eso-generator.
We call such a K localic.
However, constructively there may be many other sublocales of 1.
It would be nice if the only (-2)-truncated Grothendieck 2-topos were Cat.
However, I don’t see a way to make this happen except by fiat.
The case n=1 gives classical Grothendieck toposes; the case n=(0,1) gives locales.
This relationship is completely analogous to the classical relationship between locales and localic toposes.
(See 2-geometric morphism? for the morphisms in these categories.)
Sometimes we say that such morphism f is an effective quotient.

Next we describe the vanishing locus of dS, hence the critical locus of S.

This page is an introduction to basic topological homotopy theory.
Of particular interest are homotopies between paths in a topological space.
This encodes an action or permutation representation of the fundamental group.
says that covering spaces are equivalently characterized by their monodromy representation of the fundamental group.
This is an incarnation of the general principle of Galois theory in topological homotopy theory.
We close with an outlook on these below.
Such “continuous deformations” are called homotopies:
In the following we use this terminology:
Write Hom Top(X,Y) for the set of continuous functions from X to Y.
Hence the continuity follows by this example.
We indicate that a continuous function is a homotopy equivalence by writing X⟶≃ hY.
(homotopy equivalences are the isomorphisms in the homotopy category)
(homeomorphism is homotopy equivalence)
Every homeomorphism is a homotopy equivalence (def. ).
This is immediate from remark by general properties of categories and functors.
But for the record we spell it out.
(contractible topological spaces are the terminal objects in the homotopy category)
This is contractible (def. ): p:B n⟶≃ h*.
This is a homotopy by prop. .
The other composite is const 0∘p=const 0:B n⟶B n.
Let X be a topological space and let x,y∈X be two points.
Let X be a topological space.
Prop. says that under concatenation of paths, this set is a group.
As such it is called the fundamental group of X at x.
Definition intentionally offers two variants of the definition.
The first, the fundamental groupoid is canonically given, without choosing a basepoint.
We discuss the concept of groupoids below.
(fundamental group is functor on pointed topological spaces)
This implies semi-local simply-connectedness.
(Euclidean space is simply connected)
So far this structure is what is called a small category.
Between groupoids with only a single object this is the same as a group homomorphism.
This makes precise how groupoid theory is a generalization of group theory.
This is obtained from 𝒞 simply by discarding all those morphisms that are not isomorphisms.
Let {𝒢 i} i∈I be a set of groupoids.
The respect for identities is clear.
These two definitions coincide.
It first of all follows that the following makes sense
This is usually denoted Ho(Grpd).
Hence the fundamental groupoid is a homotopy invariant of topological spaces.
Let G be a group.
Let {G i} i∈I be a set of groups.
Proof The implication 2) ⇒1) is immediate.
It is clear that both induces bijections on connected components.
since there is only a single object.
But this means F i,i and G j,j are group isomorphisms.
This is called a skeleton of 𝒢, see also at skeletal groupoid.
It is now sufficient to show that there are conjugations/natural isomorphisms p∘inc≃idAAAAinc∘p≃id.
Assuming the axiom of choice then the following are equivalent:
Here inc 1 and inc 2 are equivalences of groupoids by prop. .
It follows that also f is an isomorphism in Ho(Grpd).
Let X be a topological space.
Here are some basic properties of covering spaces:
Lemma (fiber-wise diagonal of covering space is open and closed)
Let E→pX be a covering space.
First to see that it is an open subset.
It follows that U p(e)×{e}⊂E is an open neighbourhood.
These are disjoint by the assumption that e 1≠e 2.
Such lifts of paths through covering projections is the topic of monodromy below.
Here it is of interest to consider the lifting problem subject to some constraint.
Let p:E→X be any covering space.
Now the lifting condition explicitly fixes pr 1(γ^)=γ.
This shows the statement for the case of trivial covering spaces.
Now consider any covering space p:E→X.
Consider such a choice {U x⊂X} x∈X.
This is an open cover of X.
Now assume that γ^| [0,t j] has been found.
By induction over j, this yields the required lift γ^.
Therefore also the total lift is unique.
Alternatively, uniqueness of the lifts is a special case of lemma .
We just need to see that this lift is a continuous function.
This is the required lift.
Hence prop. says that covering projections are in particular Hurewicz fibrations.
With this the statement follows from .
Proof The implication 1)⇒2) is immediate.
We need to show that the second statement already implies the first.
If a lift exists, then its uniqueness is given by lemma .
Hence we need to exhibit a lift.
Therefore f^(y′)≔f∘γ^(1) is a lift of f(y′).
This will prove the claim.
But γ′⋅(γ¯′⋅γ) is homotopic (via reparameterization) to just γ.
This shows that the above prescription for f^ is well defined.
It only remains to show that the function f^ obtained this way is continuous.
Let y′∈Y be a point and W f^(y′)⊂E an open neighbourhood of its image in E.
Let U f(y′)⊂X be an open neighbourhood over which p trivializes.
This shows that the lifted function is continuous.
Finally that this continuous lift is unique is the statement of lemma .
The lifting theorem implies that there are “universal” covering spaces:
This is called the monodromy of the covering space.
It is a measure for how the covering space fails to be globally trivial.
Let 𝒢 be a groupoid.
Of course, all of these variations may be combined.
This abstract definition works more generally for any set function f:G→|V|.
An affine linear combination is a linear combination whose coefficients sum to 1.
These are the operations in an affine space.
These are the operations in (respectively) a conical space and a convex space.
More abstractly, Grothendieck categories are precisely Ab-enriched Grothendieck toposes.
This follows from the Gabriel-Popescu theorem together with the theory of enriched sheaves.
, then 0→colim iA i→colim iB i→colim iC i→0 is also an exact sequence.
Dually a co-Grothendieck category is an AB5* category with a cogenerator.

A Grothendieck category C satisfies the following properties.
Any Grothendieck abelian category is locally presentable.

Thus, by assumption w is a weak equivalence.
Suppose W admits a calculus of fractions.
This is from 7.1.20 of Categories and Sheaves.
Since ts∈W, it follows by 2-out-of-3 that gf∈W.
Now applying this same argument to g, we obtain an h such that hg∈W.
But then by 2-out-of-6, we have f∈W as desired.
See Blumberg-Mandell for details; an outline follows.
See Blumberg-Mandell, section 5 for a detailed proof.
Since the composite A→baC←cA represents 1 A, we have ba∈W.
All the vertical maps are cofibration weak equivalences, by assumption.

This is a special case of the spectral sequence of a filtered stable homotopy type.

Let R be a ring and write 𝒜=RMod for its category of modules.
These are still differentials: ∂ 2=0. Proof
At every stage we have a new family of long exact sequences.
One says in this cases that the spectral sequence collapses at r s.
One says in this case that the spectral sequence collapses on this page.
Therefore if all but one row or column vanish, then all these differentials vanish.

In contrast, a weak category is a category without such structure.
But in other foundations, these facts may not be true.
In order to formulate a foundation-independent definition, we make the following assumptions.
We have a forgetful functor Ob:StrCat→Set and a pseudofunctor Wk:StrCat→Cat.
(That is, a natural transformation between strict functors is automatically strict.)
We now make the above schematic definition explicit in terms of various different foundational systems.
Thus, StrCat is equivalent to Cat (as a bicategory).
For instance, consider the discrete category on the set of real numbers.
But again, we still have Disc:Set→Cat and we can define strict categories.

Some authors do not require an integral domain to be commutative.
However, on the nLab we require our integral domains to be commutative.
It then follows that every integral domain is a reduced ring.

This is called the choice of ("re"-)normalization constants of the perturbative QFT.
Otherwise one says that gS int is non-renromalizable.
Hence in practice only a finite number of renormalization constants is observable anyway.

The notion of corestriction is well known, while rarely made explicit in print.
It also gives a notion of analytic motivic homotopy theory and derived global analytic geometry.
This gives a strict analytic space over R.

Dually, there is also a no-deleting theorem.
If the opposite category C op is total, C is called cototal.
This version has an evident generalization to enriched categories.
In that context the LY-modality deserves to be called the affine modality.
It also has some large limits.
Any cocomplete and epi-cocomplete category with a generator is total.
See (Tholen) for a proof.
Thus, “most naturally-occurring” cocomplete categories are in fact total.
This is well-illustrated by the following two examples:
This example is given in Wood 1982.
By a similar construction, the category of commutative rings is not cototal.
Then one argues that ∏ αhom(A α,−):CRing→Set is continuous but not representable.
If C is cototal and J is small, then C J is cototal.
Indeed, any Grothendieck topos is both cototal and total.
Any totally distributive category is cototal (as well as total).

These are called the Hermitian metrics.
The positive-definiteness of g is immediate from that of h.
and this immediately implies the corresponding invariance of g and ω.
Hence Kähler vector spaces are equivalently the finite dimensional complex Hilbert spaces.
The archetypical elementary example is the following:

An optional argument cod can be used to define functors with arbitrary categories as codomain.
Diagrams can be used to encode derivations in a formal grammar.

This is the fundamental notion in order theory.
A poset is a set equipped with a partial order.
(See also at enriched poset).
In this way, posets form a category Pos. Intervals
A poset is locally finite if every closed bounded interval is finite.
A poset with a top element and bottom element is called bounded.
A poset with a bounding countable subset is called σ-bounded.
(The poset is σ-bounded below if we have x m≤y instead.)
Note that every bounded poset is σ-bounded, but not conversely.
In higher category theory A poset can be understood as a (0,1)-category.
For non-finite sets this still holds with the axiom of choice.
This is called the Alexandroff topology on P.
Proposition This construction naturally extends to a full and faithful functor.
For more see Alexandroff topology.
Every poset is a Cauchy complete category.
Posets are the Cauchy completions of prosets.
In particular, the Cauchy complex numbers and the Gaussian rationals are partial orders.
Here are some references on directed homotopy theory:

Compact rings are totally disconnected
Compact rings have enough open ideals
Let X be a compact Hausdorff totally disconnected space.
This U is compact and open and contains x, which completes the proof.
Let A be a compact Hausdorff totally disconnected abelian group.
Now let α:W×W→A be the restriction of the addition operation +:A×A→A.
This U is again symmetric: U=−U.
Let R be a compact Hausdorff totally disconnected ring.
By Lemma , there is an open additive subgroup O⊆V.
Let I={x∈R:RxR⊆O}.
It is evident that 0∈I and I is an ideal of R.
Compact rings are profinite
For R a compact ring, the canonical map π:R→R^ is injective.
This and Proposition taken together imply that π is a ring isomorphism.
Therefore π is an isomorphism of topological rings.
Thus the kernel of π is trivial, as was to be shown.
Idea A monad with arities is a monad that admits a generalized nerve construction.
Let 𝒞 be a category, and i A:𝒜⊂𝒞 a subcategory.
The nerve theorem consists of two statements: I.
The second part of the nerve theorem tells us what this property is.
II. Let j:𝒜→Θ T be the restricted free algebra functor.
The proof of the nerve theorem, following BMW, is fairly straightforward.
This is exactly the two statements of the nerve theorem.

This is sometimes called an NQ-supermanifold.
Now the differential corresponds to a sequence of n-ary brackets.
One can consider two notions of morphisms: strict ones and general ones.
In the dual formulation this is due to Lada and Stasheff.
We may also think of this as a morphism of NQ-supermanifolds.
But we can turn it into a category of fibrant objects.
See Kan complex for more…
We now look at the axioms for our category of fibrant objects.
Let C be a category.
The axioms used here are the following.
the pullback of an acyclic fibrations is an acyclic fibration.
C has all products and in particular a terminal object *.
Write 𝕃 for the category of filtered L-infinity algebras
The differential dx=[x] 1 has the property namely?
It is a fibration if gr(f 1) is surjective.
Given C be a Getzler-category of fibrant objects.
So M kX • comes with a map X k→M kX •.
We assume that this is a fibration.
This allows us to define M k+1X • and to continue the induction.
So this defines a Reedy fibrant object .
The weak equivalences in sC are taken to be the levelwise weak equivalences.
If C is the category of Kan complexes, then P kX=sSet(Δ[k],X).
All the above is designed to make the following come out right.
Generally, C(*,X) is the set of points (global elements) of X.
For the category of Kan complexes, it is the identity functor.
For filtered L ∞-algebras it gives L↦MC •(L)=MC(L⊗Ω •(Δ •))
Now define the Deligne groupoid as in Getzler’ integration article.
A context is L←g→fMg∘f=Id Lf∘g=Id−(d Mh+hd M)g∘h=0,h∘f=0,h∘h=0MC(L)≃{ω∈MC(M)|hω=0}
Consider the space of Schouten Lie algebras L k=Γ(X,∧ k+1TX)
Then MC (L) is the set of Poisson brackets 𝒪(ℏ).
Then π 1(MC •(L),P) is the locally Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms / Hamiltonian diffeos.
Now assume that we have a sheaf L-∞ algebras over a topological space X.
Let {U α→X} be an open cover of X.
It is easy to prove it for abelian L ∞-algebras.
This would make the construction even smaller.
What’s the problem?
This is true if one takes care of some things.
This is part of the above “terrible proof”.
The study of Ho(Top) was the motivating example of homotopy theory.
Often Ho(Top) is called the homotopy category.

Distributive lattices and lattice homomorphisms form a concrete category DistLat.
(This may safely be left as an exercise.)
This convenience does not extend to infinitary distributivity, however.
Here is one such characterization:
Again this may be left as a (somewhat mechanical) exercise.
Both N 5 and M 3 are self-dual.
Birkhoff’s characterization is the following (manifestly self-dual) criterion.
This result gives another self-dual axiomatization of distributive lattices.
“If”: this is harder.
Assuming the cancellation law for L, we first show L is modular.
Now we show L is distributive.
From Proposition , it is not very hard to deduce Birkhoff’s theorem.
Any Boolean algebra, and even any Heyting algebra, is a distributive lattice.
Every frame and every σ -frame is a distributive lattice.
Any linear order is a distributive lattice.
The lattice of Young diagrams ordered by inclusion is distributive.
The opposite category of FinDistLat is equivalent to FinPoset: FinDistLat op≃FinPoset.
Birkhoff duality does not hold for infinite distributive lattices.
This is an instance of a general phenomena known as Stone-type duality.
Then form the distributive lattice of finitely generated downsets in that.
A different categorification is the notion of distributive category.
The reflector is called canonical extension.
The concept arises in the context of duality.
Dual adjunctions between concrete categories are frequently represented by dualizing objects.
Dual adjunctions between posets are also called Galois connections.
In diagrams, the following must commute.
However, it is often useful not to break the symmetry of the contravariant formulation.
Let C,D,E be model categories.
Proposition Let ⊗:C×D→E be a Quillen functor.
It follows that the corresponding left derived functor computes the corresponding homotopy coend.
This is an application of the above application.
Let C be a category and A be a simplicial model category.
One possible choice is Q proj(*)=N(−/C) op.
Then the above says that hocolimF=∫N(−/C) op⋅F.
A nice discussion of this is in Gambino (2010).
See Street & Day (1997)
Similarly, monoidal enriched categories are pseudomonoids in VCat.
Eventually these should probably have their own pages.
This is proven in Schaeppi, Appendix A.
This extra structure supplies more control over constructions in the model category.
It is not clear whether or not this is true for any accessible model category.
There is also a canonical distributive law RQ→QR comparing the two canonical bifibrant replacement functors.
There is a canonical comparison homomorphisms R{x 1,⋯,x n}⟶R[x 1,⋯,x n].
This is typically denoted R{x 1,…,x n}.

Chain complexes are the basic objects of study in homological algebra.
Chain complexes crucially come with their chain homology groups.
Meaning in homotopy theory
A cochain complex in 𝒞 is a chain complex in the opposite category 𝒞 op.
When G=Gr(C) this recovers the original definition.
Nothing of the sort is true for chain complexes in more general categories.
The corresponding commutative monoids are the differential graded-commutative algebras.
For X a topological space, there is its singular simplicial complex.
Its homotopy category is the derived category of A.
See model structure on chain complexes.
The corresponding dual notion is that of coalgebra over a comonad.
The relevant diagrams commute by the monad axioms.
T-Algebras of this sort are called free T-algebras.
Many monads are named after their (free) algebras:
The morphisms are the equivariant maps.
The algebras of the power set monad are the sup-semilattices.

Let P be a Banach space and let C be a strictly positive constant.
Semadeni (see below for reference) gives a slightly different definition.
Here, Ball(⋅) denotes the closed unit ball of a given Banach space.
But a little thought shows that 1∉ϕ(Ball(c 0)).
Then ℓ 1 is left adjoint to Ball.
Then ℓ 1(S) is a C-projective Banach space for any C>1.
He usually ends up deciding “probably not”.
(I think it is always left exact?).
So we could define exactness in terms of these.
Calculate some sort of cohomology?
We thank Eugene Lerman for some of the information here.
This has its analog in higher categories.
So assume now that ϕ is a surjective equivalence.
So h must be the identity.
Let p:X→Y be a morphism of simplicial sets.
This is HTT, def 2.4.1.1.
This is HTT remark 2.4.1.4.
In this sense a Cartesian fibration is a generalization of a right fibration.
Proof This is HTT, prop. 2.4.1.10.
Since k is Cartesian, these two fillers must be equal.
This means that the morphism Q→A is a cone morphism and unique as such.
Hence the original square is a pullback.
This appears as Elephant, lemma 1.3.3.
In particular all identity morphisms are cartesian.
This is trivial to see.
It appears as HTT, prop 1.2.4.3.
A proof appears below HTT, corollary 2.1.2.2.
The second statement is HTT, prop. 2.4.1.5.

The sporadic finite simple groups are the exceptional structures among finite groups:
However, there are two notable exceptions.
Traditionally n-point functions are thought of as distributions of several variables.
These notions have become essential tools for the model theory of algebra.
The following are equivalent: T is model complete.
Every model of T is existentially closed.
Every existential formula is equivalent (mod T) to a universal formula.
Every formula is equivalent (mod T) to a universal formula.
The proposition below shows that the converse holds with some additional assumptions.
Model completeness + amalgamation property implies substructure completeness
Then T is substructure complete.
Let A be a substructure of some model M⊧T.
Append the quantifier-free diagram of A to T to form T Diag(A).
Let Z amalgamate X and Y over A.
This theory therefore has no models.
In the Preliminaries we first introduce this sequence itself.
This should help to amplify how utterly elementary the salamander lemma is.
These morphisms are to be called the intramural maps of A.
We discuss the case that ∂=∂ hor is a horizontal differential.
This is discussed in the Implications below.
These give the salamander lemma, prop. below, its name.
Hence the total map is given on representative by ∂ hor.
We spell out the proof of the first case.
Also it clearly hits at most this kernel.
Suppose [a]∈A □ is in the kernel of A □→ □B.
This is discussed below in The basic diagram chasing lemmas.
This appears as (Bergman, cor. 2.1).
It is straightforward to check this directly on elements:
We discuss the horizontal case.
But this means that a∈im(∂ hor)+im(∂ vert) and hence [a]=0 in A □.
Conversely, consider [b]∈ □B.
This means that ∂ vertb=0 and ∂ horb=0.
By B hor=0 the second condition means that there is a such that b=∂ hora.
Moreover, this a satisfies ∂ vert∂ hora=∂ vertb=0 by the first condition.
This appears as (Bergman, cor. 2.2).
We spell out the proof of the first item.
We derive the sharp 3x3 lemma from the salamander lemma.
The following proof is that given in (Bergman, lemma 2.3).
We need to show that A′ hor≃0 and B′ hor≃0.
item 2 is □A′≃A′ vert.
In particular we have the following sharp 3x3 lemma.
Exactness in A′ and B′ is as in prop. .
For exactness in C′ we now use the long zigzag of intramural isomorphisms, cor .
This appears as (Bergman, lemma 2.6).
We prove the strong four lemma from the salamander lemma.
such that all columns are exact; the middle two rows are exact.
We discuss a proof of the snake lemma from the salamander lemma.
Exactness at coker(g) is shown analogously.

What is homotopy theory?
Is homotopy theory a part of algebraic topology?
However, the attitudes have changed since then.
Homotopy theory is not a branch of topology.
What objects does homotopy theory study?
We list some mathematical objects that are undoubtedly studied by homotopy theory:
See the section on models for more details about models.
See the section on ∞-categories for more information.
What objects does algebraic topology study?
This leaves the question as to what exactly algebraic topology is once the separation happens.
These include topological manifolds, PL-manifolds, and smooth manifolds.
What are “spaces” in homotopy theory?
These are some of the first and most important objects introduced in homotopy theory.
See the section on models for more details.
What is a model in homotopy theory?
Another presentation may have a set of 0-simplices of different cardinality, say.
Why do we need models in homotopy theory?
The short answer is: we do not know how to work without models.
What is an ∞-category or (∞,1)-category?
An (∞,1)-category is a category enriched in (homotopy) spaces.
This can be formalized in many different ways.
Are quasicategories model-independent?
See homotopy type theory FAQ for a detailed explanation.
Here we only offer a highly impressionistic description.
In particular, first-order logic is subsumed into type theory.
This setup allows us to talk about homotopy types directly, without using models.
What is homotopical algebra?
It is often hard to separate homotopical algebra from homotopy theory.
How are model categories related to other models of ∞-categories?
In this case, the underlying (∞,1)-category admits finite ∞-(co)limits.
In this case, the underlying (∞,1)-category admits small ∞-(co)limits.
Finally, Hovey’s definition additionally requires factorizations to be functorial.
This condition does not seem to alter the class of underlying (∞,1)-categories.
What is the relationship between (higher) category theory and homotopy theory?
Homotopy theory also somewhat implicitly permeates classical category theory.
What is a derived functor?
This indeed works perfectly well.
Other (older) definitions involve Kan extensions along localization functors to homotopy categories.
These definitions do not have such nice theoretical properties as the definition considered above.
For example, they tend to misbehave when we try to derive compositions of functors.
What is the homotopy category of an (∞,1)-category?
This informal description can be formalized in any model of (∞,1)-categories.
The above is not quite true.
Much work was put into rectifying this defect of triangulated categories.
What is a derived category?
These model structures provide a convenient conceptual framework for projective resolutions and injective resolutions.
Another treatment of derived (∞,1)-categories can be given using stable quasicategories.
See Chapter 1 in Lurie‘s Higher Algebra.
Do we still need model categories?
Why do we need model categories?
Is the ∞-category of spectra “convenient”?
Do we still need models of spectra other than the ∞-category Sp?
Techniques from algebraic geometry may then be applied to study learning with such devices.
Historically, it has been understood that the neural networks are singuar statistical models in

For other sorts of shapes, there can be multiple shapes of each dimension.
Similarly, n-fold categories give extra structure to cubical sets.
Sometimes, two definitions that use different kinds of shapes nevertheless capture equivalent notions.
There exist a global operator representing composition of partial functions

A product or coproduct over a small diagram is a small product or small coproduct.
I retired from a readership in mathematics at Sussex University (UK) in 1999.
I got courage for this from seeing here the names of some old mathematical colleagues.
One misses the gossip, too!
This medium of mathematical converse was a pipedream for me for many years.
In particular the volume (or area, or length) is a pseudoform.
See also discussion under “Twisted and vector-valued forms” at differential form.
Similarly an untwisted form α corresponds to a pseudoform 1 o∧α.
See integration of differential forms.
Alternatively, both of these examples can be thought of as absolute differential forms.
By contrast the magnetic field strength B is an untwisted 2-form.
A slight variant of this localization process is called E-theory.
In all of the following, “C *-algebra” means separable C*-algebra.

This makes it a Hilbert bimodule.
This is the main result of (DEKM 11, section 3).
For A∈Boot↪KK one has that KK(A,B) satisfies a Künneth theorem.
See at bootstrap category for more.
It is not expected that excision is satisfied fully generally by KK.
Instead, the universal improvement of KK-theory under excision can be constructed.
This is called E-theory.
For more discussion see at Poincaré duality algebra.
The Baum-Connes conjecture is naturally formulated within KK-theory.
The Novikov conjecture has been verified in many cases using KK-theory.
(see for instance Rosenberg 80).

Suppose λ is an n-box Young diagram.
Now, it is easy to see that the product of commuting idempotents is idempotent.
Such an identification is called a Young tableau.
This formula defines the Schur functor not only on objects but also on morphisms.
These more general functors are still called ‘Schur functors’.
This way of constructing Schur functors is known as plethysm.
There is a category Schur with Schur functors S R:FinDimVect→FinDimVect as objects.
What is the relation between Schur functors and this groupoid.
In other words, it is a functor R:ℙ→Vect
As a result, any Schur functor gives a functor R:core(FinSet)→Vect
We call this the category of polynomial species.
The category of representations of any groupoid has many nice features.
Since ⊗ distributes over ⊕, these make Schur into a rig category.
Aguiar and Mahajan call ⊗ the Hadamard product (see section 8.1.2).
Since × distributes over +, these make ℙ into a rig category.
The same is true for the subcategory Schur.
Aguiar and Mahajan call this monoidal structure the Cauchy product.
Specifically, the Hadamard and Cauchy products form duoidal structures in both orders.
This gives Schur a fifth monoidal structure: the plethystic tensor product.
Unlike the four previous monoidal structures, this one is not symmetric.
The various structures that Schur possesses endow this ring with corresponding structures.
Among other things, it is the free lambda-ring on one generator.
We have described Schur functors as special functors F:FinDimVect→FinDimVect
Our strategy is as follows.
We fix a symmetric monoidal Cauchy complete linear category, C.
Splitting these idempotents, we obtain the Schur functors S λ:C→C.
In summary, we have the following proposition.
Clearly these elements are idempotent: p λ 2=p λ.
We are particularly interested in the case G=S n.
In this case, we call the idempotents p λ are ‘Young symmetrizers’.
However, we will not need the formula for these idempotents.
The key step is to apply base change to k[S n].
As an object of C, we have (1)k[S n]≅⨁ σ∈S nI
Schur functors are “natural”
Suppose now that we have a symmetric monoidal linear functor G:C→D.
Let us put the question another way.
Now pseudonaturality is a very general phenomenon in 2-category theory.
The perhaps surprising answer is: no extra properties!
Let us now make this precise.
For the reader unaccustomed to these 2-categorical concepts, we recall:
With notation as above, let ϕ,ψ:U→V be two pseudonatural transformations.
A morphism of Schur functors is a modification between such pseudonatural transformations.
What this proposed definition makes manifestly obvious is that Schur functors are closed under composition.
There is a forgetful functor U:CommRing→Set.
What are the natural transformations from this functor to itself?
And the reason is that ℤ[x] is the free commutative ring on one generator!
So, we say F(1) represents the functor U.
I added explanatory remarks above.
In other words, it sends symmetric monoidal categories to symmetric monoidal linear categories.
Finally, let LinCauch denote the 2-category of small Cauchy complete linear categories.
Even better, it is lax 2-symmetric monoidal.
So, it sends symmetric pseudomonoids to symmetric pseudomonoids.
However, it could still use more improvement.
Could you polish it up a bit, Todd?
Todd had written S n where I have put k[S n] here.
NB: This theorem refers only to the underlying category U(kℙ¯).
Now we consider composition of Schur functors U→U, or equivalently symmetric monoidal linear functors kℙ¯→kℙ¯.
We proceed to analyze this monoidal structure.
It may be easier to do this in reverse.
Any Schur functor may regarded as a functor 1→Fkℙ¯.
The only question is whether this functor is valued in kℙ¯.)
This is morally correct because it is indeed an appropriate categorification of polynomial composition.
The unit for this product is polynomial species X given by the representable ℙ(−,1):ℙ op→FinDimVect.
By the equivalence, we have a unit isomorphism X⊠F≅F.
Thus, corresponding to the identity on F⊠G we obtain an associativity map α:(−⊠F)⊠G→−⊠(F⊠G).
The equivalence Schur→SymMonLinCauch(kℙ¯,kℙ¯) takes a polynomial species F to −⊠F.
The category of modules over a bimonoid is a monoidal category.
Now we consider a particular case of tensor product representations.

Classically, “Galois extension” refers to a class of extensions of fields.
An extension K⊂L of fields is Galois if it is normal and separable.
There is a famous Galois theory for such extensions.
Suppose that the sequence f converges uniformly to a function f ∞.
Then f ∞ is also continuous.
Then f ∞ is also continuous.
The first counterexamples to Non-Theorem arose as Fourier series.
The sawtooth wave ∑ k=1 ∞sin(kx)k=π2−xmod2π2 may be the simplest.
And indeed, the sum is not continuous at multiples of 2π.
Again, the sequence is not equicontinuous, and its convergence is not uniform.
Another counterexample is f n(x)≔exp(−n|x|).
Here is Cauchy's argument: Proof?
Let ϵ be a positive number, and consider ϵ/3.
Fixing any such n, f ∞ is continuous.
Let ϵ be a positive number, and consider ϵ/3.
Fixing any such n,n′,n″, f ∞ is continuous.
This can be fixed up to a point.
Indeed, Non-theorem is false, as the counterexamples show.
Let ϵ be a positive number, and consider ϵ/3.
Fixing any such n, f ∞ is continuous.
Let ϵ be a positive number, and consider ϵ/3.
Fixing any such n, f ∞ is continuous.
Fixing any such n, f ∞ is continuous.
Indeed, consider the counterexample f n(x)=exp(−n|x|) near x=1.
In between, when nh is finite and finitesimal, both fail!
Fixing any such n, f ∞ is continuous.
Fixing any such n, f ∞ is continuous.
Fixing any such n, f ∞ is continuous.
One interpretation of this is that it fails to converge at some nonstandard points.

Still, it is common to work with compact subsets of a given space.
These are those subsets which are compact spaces with the subspace topology.
There are many ways to say that a space X is compact.
This is called a finite open cover if I is a (Kuratowski-)finite set.
The various reformulations of compactness fall into several families.
Then also the total intersection is inhabited, ∩i∈IC i≠∅.
The closed-subset formulations of compactness appear frequently and are often more convenient.
Here is an equivalent way to phrase it that is often convenient for locale theory.
This 𝒰′ is clearly directed, and an open cover of X since 𝒰 is.
This is equivalent to the characterization given in the Idea-section above:
See also closed morphism.)
This leads us to the following proposition.
Thus, compactness of X is equivalent to !:X→1 being stably closed.
For a proof, see closed-projection characterization of compactness.
See also the page compactness and stable closure (under construction).
A dual condition is satisfied by an overt space.
Hence the intersection of the closed compact subspaces is closed.
Let X be a topological space.
Let K⊂X be a compact subspace; U⊂X be an open subset.
Then the complement K∖U⊂Xcov is itself a compact subspace.
Let {V i⊂K∖U} be an open cover of the complement subspace.
We need to show that this admits a finite subcover.
Assuming the axiom of choice, the category of compact spaces admits all small products.
However, the category of compact spaces does not admit equalizers.
Proposition We have: compact subspaces of Hausdorff spaces are closed.
closed subsets of compact spaces are compact
Hence: closed subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are equivalently compact subspaces
Proposition continuous images of compact spaces are compact
Proposition maps from compact spaces to Hausdorff spaces are closed and proper
Proposition continuous metric space valued function on compact metric space is uniformly continuous
See at compact object – Compact objects in Top Examples
(closed intervals are compact)
Any set when equipped with the cofinite topology forms a compact space.
This space is compact by the Tychonoff theorem.
But it is not sequentially compact.
(We essentially follow Steen-Seebach 70, item 105).
Hence (a n k) is not convergent.
(Basically that’s the diagonal trick of Cantor's theorem).
This includes the expected examples in various gros toposes.
Thus, properness is a “relativized” version of compactness.
For general references see the list at topology.
Examples of compact spaces that are not sequentially compact are in

The existence of a maximal element is often given by Zorn's lemma.

Suppose that P is totally ordered.
Then a maximal element of P is the same as a top element of P.
Suppose that P is finite and has a unique maximal element x.
Then x is a top element of P.
Then a is the unique maximal element of P but still not a top.

We identify Top CW↪Top CW ↪ by X↦(X,∅).
In one direction, suppose that E • satisfies the original excision axiom.
Hence the excision axiom implies E •(X,B)⟶≃E •(A,A∩B).
Conversely, suppose E • satisfies the alternative condition.
Let E • be an cohomology theory, def. , and let A↪X.
Consider U≔(Cone(A)−A×{0})↪Cone(A), the cone on A minus the base A.
Define a reduced cohomology theory, def. (E˜ •,σ) as follows.
This is clearly functorial.
The construction in def. indeed gives a reduced cohomology theory.
By lemma we have an isomorphism E˜ •(X∪Cone(A))=E •(X∪Cone(A),{*})⟶≃E •(X,A).
Hence the left vertical sequence is exact.
Let (E˜ •,σ) be a reduced cohomology theory, def. .
The construction in def. indeed yields an unreduced cohomology theory.
For excision, it is sufficient to consider the alternative formulation of lemma .
For CW-inclusions, this follows immediately with lemma .
With this the natural isomorphism is given by lemma .
As before, this is isomorphic to the unreduced mapping cone of the point inclusion.
Finally we record the following basic relation between reduced and unreduced cohomology:
Hence this is a split exact sequence and the statement follows.
The generalized cohomology theories considered above assign cohomology groups.

The fundamental distinction is between open and closed mechanical systems.
Closed systems are conservative in energetic sense.
We set up some basic notions of classical mechanics.
This definition readily generalized to symmetric monoidal categories.
Write Poiss for the resulting category of (super) Poisson algebras.
The standard setup of conservative classical mechanical system is a Poisson manifold.
Recall that every symplectic manifold provides an example of a Poisson manifold.
Possibly infinite-dimensional generalization of this example is called a phase space.
Poisson superalgebras describe systems with fermions.
Systems without fermions may be described by plain Poisson algebras.
This definition captures most notions of “mechanical systems”.

Perturbative string theory is defined in terms of certain classes of 2d CFTs.
Depending on which class that is, one speaks of different types of string theory.
This gives rise to various further anomaly cancellation conditions:
More generally, any object with this property is called a zero object.
Categorifying horizontally instead, we get the notion of zero morphism.
All these ideas can be, and have been, categorified further.
One may use this idea as a definition of the general concept of real number.
Thus, we can construct ℝ immediately as a subquotient of the function set ℚ ℕ.
We do this by requiring explicit moduli of convergence.
Some variations are often met.
It is also possible to fix a specific modulus α ahead of time.
One way is to use multivalued functions from the natural numbers.
Another way is to use nets (also called ‘generalised sequences’).
Classically, all of these definitions are equivalent.
Without WCC, the classical Cauchy real numbers are not very well behaved.
A modulated Cauchy sequence of modulated Cauchy sequences does converge to a modulated Cauchy sequence.
Thus, we cannot prove that every classical Cauchy sequence is modulated.
This is stronger than merely being a modulated Cauchy real number.
Thus, this procedure may be generalised to any metric space to produce its completion.
We might instead want to approximate x by arbitrarily long decimal fractions.
Note we may be rounding up or down, regardless of which is nearer.
Choice is needed only to make infinitely many approximations at once.
Trying to avoid this can motivate multivalued Cauchy real numbers.
See also the references at real number and constructive analysis.

Cocycled crossed product There is also a more general cocycled crossed product.
We do not assume that ▹ is an action.

A spacetime with vanishing Ricci curvature is also called Ricci flat.
Note that this formula describes the metric tensor as a quasilinear elliptic PDE.
But the Einstein property g=λRic implies the same regularity for the Ricci tensor.

(We can drop the finiteness condition by making use of a larger universe.)
This is canonically a pointed object *→𝒮.
Objects in here we may regard as ∞-stacks on X.
The ∞-groupoid of locally constant ∞-stacks on X is LConst(X):=H(X,LConst𝒮).
A locally constant ∞-stack is also called a local system.
See there for more details.
Here are commented references that establish aspects of the above general abstract situation.
Finally, by the (∞,1)-Grothendieck construction, these are equivalent to (∞,1)-functors Π(X)→∞Grpd.

We now show that this follows from our definition.
1. If the induced morphism ker(e)→ker(ne) is ff, then n is faithful.
1. If ker(e)→ker(ne) is an equivalence, then n is ff.
By the hypothesis, nβ 1r=nβ 2r implies β 1r=β 2r.
Thus, n is faithful.
Then g, being a pullback of e×e, is eso.
By assumption, (e/e)→(ne/ne) is an equivalence.
But this says precisely that n is ff.
First suppose K is regular; we must show the last two conditions.
Let f:A→B be any morphism.
Now suppose that in the previous paragraph f were already eso.
Now suppose K satisfies the conditions in the lemma.
Since m is ff, we have ker(f)≃ker(e).
If K is regular, so are the fibrational slices Opf(X) and Fib(X).
Regular completion See at 2-congruence the section Regularity.
The above definitions and observations are originally due to
The notion of Haefliger structure is a slight generalization of that of foliation.
In this case there is a clash of terminology between category theory and algebra.
For convenience let us first recall a couple of concepts
Definition Let 𝒢, ℋ be semicategories.
Let 𝒢 be a regular semicategory.
For the proof see Moens et al. (2002, p.179).
In degree 3 it serves as a twist for KR-theory.
Actually every geometric embedding is of this form, up to equivalence of topoi.
The converse holds if Y is a T 0 space.
There is a close relation between geometric embedding and localization: reflective localization.
The following gives a detailed proof of the above assertion.
Write η:Id E→f *f * for the unit of the adjunction.
To further trim down the notation write (−)¯:=f * for the left adjoint.
Proof Follows since isomorphisms satisfy 2-out-of-3.
It remains to check the following points:
To get this, take this to be the pullback diagram, w′:=h *w.
But by assumption w¯ is an isomorphism.
Therefore w¯′ is an isomorphism, therefore w′ is in W.
To get this, take w′ to be the equalizer of the two morphisms.
So w′ is in W.
We need to show that a is W-local.
shows that k:d→a does extend the original diagram.
Again by the Hom-isomorphism, it is the unique morphism with this property.
So a∈F is W-local.
Now for the converse, assume that a given a is W-local.
Proposition F is equivalent to the localization E[W −1] of E at W.
By one of the above propositions we know that W is a left multiplicative systems.
By one of the above propositons, η a is in W.
To see fullness and faithfulness, let a,b∈F be any two objects.
See geometric surjection/embedding factorization.
Moreover, each geometric embedding itself has a (dense,closed)-factorization.

This implies i is an isomorphism, so that V is finite-dimensional.
In particular the category FinDimVect is a compact closed category.
This procedure generalises the geometric realization of simplicial complexes as described at that entry.
The corresponding contravariant representable is denoted Δ(−,n).)
Analogous constrtuctions yield cubical geometric realization, etc.
For more on that see geometric realization of simplicial spaces.
The dual concept is totalization .
The basic definition is For cell complexes such as simplicial sets.

(The dual statement also holds, with limits instead of colimits.)
We continue to assume Space is any convenient category of topological spaces.
Then the composite UR:Set Δ op→Set is left exact.
Obviously the preceding proof is not sensitive to whether we use Space or Top.
Geometric realization preserves equalizers Lemma
In particular, taking X=∅, R(Y) is a CW-complex.
Set Δ op→Space preserves equalizers.
Geometric realization preserves finite products
The realization of a product of two representables Δ(−,m)×Δ(−,n) is compact.
It suffices to observe that Δ[m]×Δ[n] has finitely many non-degenerate simplices.
But a continuous bijection from a compact space to a Hausdorff space is a homeomorphism.
The functor R:Set Δ op→Space preserves products.
The proof is purely formal.
Let X and Y be simplicial sets.
The underlying endofunctor of sSets is HHom(Hom preorders(−,[0,1] ≤),Y .)
Here are some details.
Formally it is just the category of simplicial objects in the category of filters.
This is shown in Quillen 68.
The previous two sections show that the geometric realization preserves finite limits and fibrations.
This homeomorphism is homotopic to the geometric realization of the last vertex map.
The statement also holds relative a simplicial subset A⊂X.

The quasicoherent sheaves have natural analogues in some formalisms of noncommutative algebraic geometry.
However the analogues of a cover and sheaf condition are more subtle.
Applying comonadicity theorems is much more straightforward.
Every separated scheme is semiseparated.
Alternatively the descent data can be represented by connections for the Amitsur complex.
Symmetries are important in that analysis.
This is the case of Hopf-Galois descent and generalizations for entwinings.
Coring language is also very natural in generalizing the Galois theory to noncommutative rings.
In that case, Grothendieck essentially used the symmetry in commutative case.

That intuition should be evident enough.
The question is which formal axioms capture this droplet-intuition accurately and efficiently.
Call the resulting cohesive space Disc(X).
In particular Π(Disc(*)) should be the point again.
That’s essentially it, already.
It sounds very simple (hopefully) and indeed it is very simple.
This is conceptually a very simple step.
It leads to cohesive (∞,1)-toposes and cohesive homotopy type theory.
While cohesive spaces subsume several familiar notions of geometry, there are some constraints.
In particular for instance general topological stacks do not live in a cohesive (∞,1)-topos.
To this end we develop a large portion of abstract analysis within a constructive framework.
Andrew M. Pitts and Michael Makkai have proved variants in categorical logic e.g. for pretoposes.
An important corollary is the Beth definability theorem.
The original source is William Craig, Linear Reasoning.

This entry disscusses basics of formal group laws arising from periodic multiplicative cohomology theories
(Note: A 0 and not A • because of the periodicity property.)
In particular, elliptic cohomology theories give elliptic curves over A 0(•).
We can define A f n(X)=MP n(X)⊗ MP(•)R.
The last statement implies that R contains the rational numbers as a subring.
The regularity conditions are trivial.
Let A be an oriented complex oriented cohomology theory.
Now apply cohomology functor to the sequence X→ℂP ∞×ℂP ∞→ℂP ∞.
We have a degree 0 element t in the cohomology of ℂP ∞.
Its image in the cohomology of ℂP ∞×ℂP ∞ is a formal group law.
(The constant term of~ϕ is zero.)
Hence formal group laws form a category.
If R contains rational numbers as a subring, then we have two canonical homomorphisms.
This shows up in cohomology as Chern character.
A formal group is a group in the category of formal schemes.
A formal scheme Y^ is defined for any closed immersion of schemes Y↪X.
(This is incomplete description, one needs to talk sheaves of ideals instead)
Now we get formal groups from elliptic curves over R
This implies that it has genus 1.
Compare with the notion of a periodic cohomology theory.
this provides an example of an elliptic cohomology theory.
(Example: in a field, every element is invertible.)
(Example: in a field, every element other than 0 is invertible.)
Examples include: 1 is not a prime number.
The trivial ring is not a field (or even an integral domain).
A zero object is not a simple object (generalizing the previous example).
The improper filter is not an ultrafilter.
An empty function is not a constant function.
A bottom element is not an atom.
This should be distinguished from barring the trivial object entirely.
Perhaps the basic example is that False is not true.
Nobody would be naïve enough to believe otherwise in this case, of course.
With truth values, uniqueness is automatic, so existence is easier to notice.
False is the empty disjunction, and hence is not true.

It is a refinement of a Koszul complex or rather an extension.
A Koszul-Tate resolution is one part of the BRST-BV complex.
In other words, their underlying topological spaces are profinite.
A profinite group is an inverse limit of a system of finite groups.
Example A finite group is profinite.
Historically a motivating example was:
The absolute Galois group of a number field is profinite.
(This is linked with his work on pro-representable functors.)
A finite index subgroup of a profinite group is not necessarily open.
Here is a standard way to obtain examples of such.
Since no proper open subset of ∏ ℕG is dense, K is not open.
The category of profinite groups has nice ‘exactness’ properties.
Various constructions in algebraic geometry lead naturally to profinite homotopy types.
Subclasses of profinite groups are extensively studied.
Every group is an invertible quasigroup.
Every associative quasigroup and nonassociative group is an invertible quasigroup.

The corresponding logic is an interesting intermediate logic between intuitionistic logic and classical logic.
De Morgan Heyting algebras are also known as Stone algebras or Stone lattices.
First, it is automatic that ¬a∨¬b≤¬(a∧b).
Then ¬¬(a∨b)=¬(¬a∧¬b)=¬(x∧y)=¬x∨¬y=¬¬a∨¬¬b as desired.
(3. implies 2.)
We have ¬a=¬¬¬a, and so we may calculate ¬a∨¬¬a=¬¬¬a∨¬¬a=¬¬(¬a∨a)=¬(¬¬a∧¬a)=¬(⊥)=⊤ as desired.
The dual first De Morgan law ¬(a∨b)=¬a∧¬b is valid in every Heyting algebra.
Every Boolean algebra is a De Morgan Heyting algebra.
One such is radial subsets.
Thus a convex set containing the origin is automatically radial.
The precise definition is as follows.

The assumptions are satisfied in the category of schemes.
Let (R,|⋅|) be an integral Banach ring equipped with a multiplicative norm.
We will denote Λ(R,|⋅|) the monoid given by Λ(R,|⋅|):=Frac(R)∩{a∈R,|a|≤1}.
The bigrading is given by the action of the monoid Λ(R,|⋅|):=ℚ(T) ×∩ℤ[T]=ℤ[T]−{0}.
Geometric interpretation (to be checked very carefully: may be problematic)
By formal duality the analogue is true for comonads.
Monads internal to the 2-category of monads are called distributive laws.
In particular, distributive laws themselves make a 2-category.
This correspondence extends to a 2-functor comp:Mnd(Mnd(C))→Mnd(C).

This builds on the companion paper Dan Dugger, Universal homotopy theories
T. R. Govindarajan is a theoretical physicist at Chennai (Madras), India.
This page goes through some basics of étale cohomology.
This is called the étale site X et of the scheme.
The category of sheaves on that site is called the étale topos of the scheme.
The next section then genuinely considers the corresponding abelian sheaf cohomology.
But étale cohomology has a more fundamental raison d’être than this.
The second essentially just says demands this has finite fibers.
The definition of formally étale in components goes like this.
It is useful to realize this equivalently but a bit more naturally as follows.
The adjoint triple to be shown is obtained from composing these adjoints pairwise.
This is what we do implicitly in the following.
Every etale morphism is a flat morphism.
Flat morphism between affines Spec(B)→Spec(A) is faithfully flat precisely if it is surjective
We repeatedly use the following example of étale morphisms.
Then the following descent theorem effectively solves the descent problem over these remaining covers.
Suppose given an arbitrary étale covering {X′ i→X′} over X.
By pullback stability, prop. , these are still étale maps.
The latter is by open immersions.
Now this is morphism is etale, hence flat, but also surjective.
That makes it a faithfully flat morphism.
Therefore we are led to consider descent along faithfully flat morphisms of affines.
For these the descent theorem says that they are effective epimorphisms:
This is due to (Grothendieck, FGA1).
For the first this is clear (it is Zariski topology-descent).
See also for instance (Tamme I 1.4).
This may serve to give a first idea of the nature of étale cohomology.
We consider now the étale abelian sheaf cohomology with coefficients in such coherent modules.
Reviews include (Tamme, II 1.3).
Moreover, for X affine we have H et p(X,N et)≃0.
This is due to (Grothendieck, FGA 1).
See also for instance (Tamme, II (4.1.2)).
Therefore it suffices to show the statement there.
It follows (by a discussion such as e.g. at Sweedler coring)
This is injective by assumption that X is of characteristic p.
The first is true by construction.
By the same argument all the higher cohomology groups vanish, as claimed.
For more on this see… elsewhere.
See also n-groupoid.
A general 3-groupoid is geometrically modeled by a 4-coskeletal Kan complex.
These in turn are encoded by 2-crossed modules.
The mapping cocylinder is sometimes denoted M fY or Nf.
They are homotopy equivalent, so usually it does not matter.
This is used crucially in the definition of equivalence in homotopy type theory.
The mapping cocylinder is the central ingredient in the factorization lemma.
One usage is discussed at Hurewicz connection.
The homotopy fiber can be constructed as the strict fiber of the mapping cocylinder.

The Coxeter diagram has m−2 edges between two vertices.
There are coincidences A 2≅I 2(3), and B 2≅I 2(4).

Precisely, it can mean one of several slightly different things.

This is largely for the sake of keeping the exposition fairly straightforward and simple.
This means the frames used will be ‘Kripke frames’.
Again we look at the basic model language.
There is also an algebraic semantics that will be examined in another entry.
It is convenient to extend the valuation V to arbitrary formulae by setting V(ϕ):={w∣𝔐,w⊧ϕ}.
What is a valuation?
In the definition of a Kripke model the valuation is all important.
It is what puts meaning onto the frame.
The process is fairly intuitive, but it pays to do things reasonably formally:
Finally we could categorify things.
That, of course, corresponds to a subset of P×W.
Another useful direction is to see this as giving a binary Chu space.

Much of the description below is taken from (Harper).
The sentences of a logical framework are called judgments.
This leads to a notion that we will call an LF-type.
We will also have some general type-forming operations.
See (Harper), and the other references, for more details.
We will discuss this further below.
They are very flexible and can be used to represent many different object-theories.
Here “compositional” means that the bijection respects substitution.
In this case, we represent object-theory types by LF-types themselves.
The analytic encoding is associated with Martin-Lof.
One needs a decision procedure for these equalities even to be able to check proofs.
However, this is incorrect; LF does not have inductive types.
Suppose, for instance, that tm were inductively defined inside of LF.

See at geometry of physics – superalgebra for more on this.
We discuss the general abstract raison d’ être of super algebra.
Readers looking for just the plain definition should probably skip to below on first reading.
This in turn may itself be understood from a more general perspective as follows.
Superalgebra is universal in the following sense.
This is naturally a monoidal 2-category.
Equivalence in 2sVect≃sAlg is also called Morita equivalence of super-algebras.
Superalgebras isomorphic to ones of this form, are also called matrix super algebras.
This are the free superalgebras.
An class of examples of non-(graded)-commutative superalgebra are Clifford algebra.
In fact, let V be a vector space equipped with symmetric inner product ⟨−,−⟩.
Write ∧ •V be the Grassmann algebra on V.
The inner product makes this a super Poisson algebra.
The Clifford algebra Cl(V,⟨−,−⟩) is the deformation quantization of this.
See at super smooth infinity-groupoid for more on this.

For instance S could be Riemannian structure .
Then we would call Z a Euclidean quantum field theory (confusingly).
Or conversely: the action of Z encodes what this dynamics is supposed to be.
This is the locaity of quantum field theory.
A simple but archetypical example is this: let S:=Riem be Riemannian structure.
Composition is given by addition of lengths (•→t 1•→t 2)=(•→t 1+t 2•).

This fact arises when constructing generalized kernels.
The material-structural adjunction between material set theories and structural set theories is idempotent.
There was a gap in the original proof that DTopologicalSpaces≃ QuillenDiffeologicalSpaces.
The gap is claimed to be filled now, see the commented references here.
We spell out the existence of the idempotent adjunction (2):
Let X∈DiffeologicalSpaces and Y∈TopologicalSpaces.
Write (−) s for the underlying sets.
But this means equivalently that for every such ϕ, f∘ϕ is continuous.
This means equivalently that X is a D-topological space.
In particular, quasi-topological spaces form a complete and cocomplete cartesian closed category.
In particular, it is a locally cartesian closed category.

We now explain the names of the three subcategories.
The generalized modal operators here are not required to be either idempotent or monadic.

A Hopf algebroid is an associative bialgebroid with an antipode.
Specifically commutative Hopf algebroids are the internal groupoids in the opposite category of CRing.
These arise notably in stable homotopy theory as generalized dual Steenrod algebras for generalized cohomology.
In the general case we should distinguish left and right bialgebroids, see bialgebroid.
In fact this is an antiequivalence of categories.
There are several generalizations to the noncommutative case.
To add an antipode is nontrivial.
Gabi later showed that the two definitions are in fact equivalent.
Let A be a unital associative algebra.
Thus she calls this example a coarse Hopf algebroid.
This is a noncommutative generalization (of formal dual of) an action groupoid.
So, they define a bialgebroid to be a comonoid in VCat.
With this definition, a Hopf algebra gives a one-object Hopf algebroid.

The above definition corresponds to the special case of the 2-category Cat.
Explicating this condition in elementary terms, one arrives at the above definition.
A simpler version of this characterization is the following.
Let π:B/p→B denote the projection (x,e,k)↦x.
In turn, this means that p is a cloven fibration.
For these reasons, Street fibrations in Cat are little-studied.
However, when internalizing in other 2-categories, covariance becomes more important.
Some of the applications are internal to 2-categories other than Cat.
Street fibrations in Cat also arise in mathematics, though often under different names.

Before diving into the various variants of cotangent complexes, we summarize their relationships here.
In algebraic geometry, relative notions are notions about families.
Relative cotangent complexes encode deformation theory of families.
Of course these are analogous to relative cotangent bundles in differential geometry.
Hence the notion is truly ubiquitous in deformation theory.
Both the local and global notions above can be relativized…
Some elaboration of these ideas are found in the article cotangent complex.
We discuss ∞-Lie algebroids in the cohesive (∞,1)-topos H th:=SynthDiff∞Grpd of synthetic differential ∞-groupoids.

Then Kleene equality denotes equality of these operations.
Atomic sites are sites (𝒞,J at) equipped with the atomic topology J at.
The corresponding sheaf toposes Sh(𝒞,J at) are precisely the atomic Grothendieck toposes.
A Grothendieck topology J at of this form is called atomic.
That J at is indeed a Grothendieck topology is ensured by prop. .
Let 𝒞 be a category.
The condition occurring in the proposition is called the (right) Ore condition.
The atomic topology is a special case of this:
Then the atomic topology J at coincides with the dense topology J d.
For 𝒞=∅ the claim is trivial.
So let C∈𝒞 be an object and S a sieve on C.
Conversely, assume S∈J at(C) and let f:D→C be a morphism.
For the proof see Mac Lane-Moerdijk (1994, pp.126f).
A site of the form (𝒞,J at) is called atomic.
Then Sh(𝒞,J at) is an atomic Grothendieck topos.
For the details see Caramello (2012, prop.1.4).
Accordingly the subcategory 𝒞′ is empty and Sh(𝒞,J at)≃1 is degenerate.
In particular, Sh(𝒞,J at) is not equivalent to Sh(𝒞,J d)≃Sh ¬¬(Set 𝒞 op)≃Set×Set.
So we see that the atomic topology on 𝒞 is distinct from the dense topology.
In fact more can be said here:
The set of all representative functions on G is a Hopf F-algebra.
Let X be an abstract set.
Let G be a collection of such distance functions.
Consider the following potential properties of G:
Reflexivity: For every d∈G and x∈X, we have d(x,x)=0.
The corresponding bottom element is the zero function 0: 0(x,y)≔0.
Then the same 6 axioms may be expressed as follows:
(In light of Isotony, we may require d=0.)
(In light of Isotony, we may require f=d∨e.)
We sometimes wish to consider collections of distance functions that generate (quasi)-prometrics.
(See Subcategories below.)
(Again, this may be defined constructively as an infimum.)
The collection of such d U is a base for a prometric on X.
In this way every short map induces a uniformly continuous map as well.
The composition of strong epimorphisms is a strong epimorphism.
If f∘g is a strong epimorphism, then f is a strong epimorphism.
Every regular epimorphism is strong.
The converse is true if C is regular.
Every strong epimorphism is extremal.
The converse is true if C has pullbacks.
Therefore in an (∞,1)-topos strong epimorphisms again coincide with effective epimorphisms.
Strong epimorphisms were introduced in: Gregory Maxwell Kelly.

The functor μ:=𝔾 m is a group scheme given by 𝔾 m(S)=Γ(S,𝒪 S) ×.
A scheme is sent to the invertible elements of its global functions.
This group scheme is called the multiplicative group scheme.
These kernels give the group schemes of the n-th root of unity.
Note that the multiplicative group scheme is diagonalizable.
Every diagonalizable group scheme is in particular of multiplicative type.
The additive group scheme assigns to a ring its additive group.
Also here the kernels of the powering-by-n map are of interest.
These kernels give the group schemes of the n-th nilpotent element?.
Group schemes can be constructed by restriction of scalars.
This group scheme is called the additive group scheme.
(is synonymous to local group scheme?)
Every algebraic group is in particular a group scheme.
Suppose now that G is a finite flat commutative group scheme (over X).
The Cartier dual of G is given by the functor G D(S)=Hom(G⊗S,𝔾 m⊗S).
The Hom is taken in the category of group schemes over S.
Since k is perfect Frobenius is an automorphism.
On the left we have the category of affine commutative unipotent group schemes.

Toposes are extensive Toposes are extensive
Every elementary topos is a finitary extensive category.
In particular, a cocomplete elementary topos is infinitary extensive.
There are several possible proofs.
Thus, in this case it suffices to deal with finite coproducts.
Dually, j is monic.
But since r is an isomorphism, this factorization must be the left coprojection A→A+X.
Finally, since 0 is a strict initial object, 0→S is monic.
By the previous paragraph, f=g, hence S≅0 and is initial.
Finally, we give a proof that applies constructively to arbitrary coproducts.
it suffices for ∐ J to be faithful.

This is called the theory of smooth algebras.
A product-preserving functor A:CartSp→Set is a smooth algebra.
A homomorphism of smooth algebras is a natural transformation between the corresponding functors.
This is illustrated by the next example.
We discuss a standard structure of a site on the category CartSp.
This generates a genuine Grothendieck topology, but need not itself already be one.
Differentiably good covers are useful for computations.
Their full impact is however on the homotopy theory of simplicial presheaves over CartSp.
Despite its appearance, this is not quite a classical statement.
The good open covers do not yet form a Grothendieck topology on CartSp.
So this is a good open cover of ℝ 2.
But it has an evident refinement by a good open cover.
This is a special case of what the following statement says in generality.
The differentially good open covers, def. , constitute a coverage on CartSp.
Hence CartSp equipped with that coverage is a site.
This is evidently an open cover, albeit not necessarily a good open cover.
By example this good open cover coverage is not a Grothendieck topology.
But as any coverage, it uniquely completes to one which has the same sheaves.
But the latter is (more) useful for several computational purposes in the following.
This is rough, needs further development.

Let M be a monoid object in C with unit e:1→M and multiplication ⋅:M⊗M→M.
The same can be said about topological spaces and continuous actions of topological groups.
The algebras of the resulting action monad are the modules over that ring.
It is commutative if and only if M is commutative as a monoid.
(See for example Brandenburg, Example 6.3.12.)
The following explanation is taken from Perrone, Example 5.1.14.
Let M be a monoid, and let’s write it additively.
Denote by T M its right writer monad.
A Kleisli morphism of T M is a morphism k:X→Y×M.
Let’s now look at the Kleisli composition
A progroup is a pro-object in the category Grp of groups.

The spaces such that this is true for all open subspaces
are the locally connected topological spaces.
We need to show that U 0 is open.
Consider any point x∈U 0.
Now assume that every connected component of every open subset U is open.
Finally assume that every open subspace is the disjoint union of its connected components.
Let x be a point and U x⊃{x} a neighbourhood.
We need to show that U x contains a connected neighbourhood of x.

A structural set theory is a set theory which describes only structural mathematics.
The following is an attempted formal definition of when a set theory is structural.
It should be regarded as extremely tentative.
Thus we make the following definition.
The way to formalize this depends on how the set-class theory is stated.
(In contrast to ZF, these types are now nontrivially dependent on A.)
Now we make the following definition.
This is the idea behind the restrictions placed on φ.
Let A={∅,{∅}} be the von Nemuann numeral 2, and let φ≡(x=∅).
Moreover, φ satisfies the condition: A does not occur in it at all.
For the same reasons, NBG and MK are not structurally presented.
Consider SEAR, and let A be a set containing two distinct elements a and a′.
In fact, we can show: Theorem SEAR is structurally presented.

Since A was arbitrary, all sets must be subsingletons.
The second is “elements of sets are not themselves sets.”
Suppose that is A(a,B) and choose φ≡is A(x,B).

Compactness is an extremely useful concept in topology.
This is more traditionally known as studying the topology using sequences and convergent sequences.
The answer to that question is “sequential compactness”.
The following is a list of properties of and pertaining to sequentially compact spaces.
For a metric space, the notions of sequential compactness and compactness coincide.
See at sequentially compact metric spaces are equivalently compact metric spaces.
A countable product of sequentially compact spaces is again sequentially compact.

One has to be careful about the following variations of the theme of compactness.
In non-additive contexts, the above definition is not right.

Recall the above example of compact topological spaces.

Composition of prefunctions is also possible, but likewise does not preserve equality.
(This extension is the “renormalization” of the time-ordered product).
This extension is not unique.
Every such choice corresponds to a choice of perturbative S-matrix for the theory.
This construction is called causal perturbation theory.
One can therefore consider composition of such representable covariant functors.
Ah, but I have not told you what P⊙A is!
How do I do this?
That’s a complicated way of saying that V represents a covariant functor VAlg→Set.
Precomposing this with the functor represented by P yields again a covariant functor VAlg→Set.
This is again representable and we write its representing object P⊙A.
As an aside, we note a consequence.
Now we’re seeing this monoidal category acts on the category of V-algebras.
We also have that A∐A=A⊕A.
That means that for a∈A, μ(a)=(a 1,a 2) for some a 1,a 2∈A.
Now, one of the laws says that ϵ is a counit for μ.
So, we have no choice here either.
What remains is to fit ι into the structure.
The first issue is that ι is not automatically a morphism in AbGrp.
In fact, it is an involution from the relations for abelian groups.
The final relation is that ι is the inverse for μ.
Also, ϵ=0 and η:I→A is the initial morphism in AbGrp.
For details on this see The Hunting of the Hopf Ring, referred to below.
This monoidal structure for abelian groups turns out to be the tensor product.
We now recapitulate the discussion above in a slightly more general context.
The monad morphism T→hom(R,−⋅R) has components TX→hom(R,X⋅R) for each set X.
Thus, for example, 2⋅R is the ring R⊗R.
The resultant monoidal product on T-bialgebras is denoted ⊙.
Here ϵUS is the same as the T-algebra structure TUS→US on S.
In this case the monad Λ⊙− has right adjoint given by hom(Λ,−).
An old and long query-discussion has been archived starting here.
I am not sure that the terminology is optimal.

The set of H-cosets is a cover of G by disjoint open subsets.
(connected locally compact topological groups are sigma-compact)
Every connected locally compact topological group is sigma-compact.
Every locally compact topological group is paracompact.
Then H≔∪n∈ℕC e n⊂G is clearly a topological subgroup of G.
Observe that each C e n is compact.
From this we may draw the following conclusions.
Thus G is a disjoint union space of paracompact spaces.
This is again paracompact (by this prop.).
A topological group G carries two canonical uniformities: a right and left uniformity.
The uniform topology for either coincides with the topology of G.
Obviously when G is commutative, the left and right uniformities coincide.
Let f:G→H be a group homomorphism.
Hence f is uniformly continuous with respect to the right uniformity.
By similar reasoning, f is uniformly continuous with respect to the right uniformity.
See at geometric quantization and orbit method for more on this.

This entry is about étale morphisms between schemes.
(A number of other equivalent definitions are listed at wikipedia.)
This is analogous to the corresponding characterization of local diffeomorphisms of smooth manifolds.

Proposition A composite of two étale morphism is itself étale.
The pullback of an étale morphism is étale.
Then the three properties to be shown are equivalently the pasting law for pullback diagrams.
Such étale morphisms are classified by the classical Galois theory of field extensions.
This appears for instance as (Milne, prop. 2.1).
Every open immersion of schemes is an étale morphism of schemes.
To overcome this difficulty, one needs to enlarge this category in various ways.

Let S be a set, and let ≺ be a binary relation on S.
A subset A of S is ≺-inductive if ∀(x:S),(∀(t:S),t≺x⇒t∈A)⇒x∈A.
(Such an x is called a minimal element of A.)
For a topos-theoretic proof see here.
Consider then a set P⊂X defined as P={x}∪{a∣a≺x∧Q}.
In the latter case we immediately see that Q holds.
Since Q was an arbitrary proposition, we can deduce ∀Q.(Q∨¬Q).
It is the inductive notion of well-foundedness that is just right.
Let U={u∈X:u∉A∧(∀x:X),x≺u⇒x∉A}.
So, suppose z is an element such that y∈U whenever y≺z.
But this negates the assumption that A has no minimal element.
We must show that every element x∈X belongs to U.
Many inductive or recursive notions may also be packaged in coalgebraic terms.
(Note that j is necessarily monic, since P preserves monos.)
This says the same thing as ∀ x:X(∀ y:Xy≺x⇒y∈U)⇒x∈U.
See also well-founded coalgebra.
Then sets so equipped form a category with simulations as morphisms.
See extensional relation for more uses of simulations.
Suppose y∈X is an element such that f(u)=g(u) whenever u≺y.
By extensionality, we infer f(y)=g(y), so that y∈U.
But infinite descent or direct proof by induction still require ≺ rather than ⪯.
Let S be a finite set.
Then any relation on S whose transitive closure is irreflexive is well-founded.
That this relation is well-founded is the usual principle of mathematical induction.

That this relation is well-founded is the axiom of foundation.

This page is about formalizign the notion of spectral sequences in homotopy type theory.
For more see the References below.
What is a spectral sequence?
This one is no exception.)
Spectral sequences are to long exact sequences as iterated extensions are to extensions.
The simplest example is A→(id,0)A⊕C→proj 2C.
The most obvious is that if A=C=0, then also B=0.
The converse also holds: if B=0, then A=C=0.
The sequence might be infinite or finite in either direction.
How are LES’s related to extensions?
Of course, π n is only an abelian group for n≥2.
Feel free to assume all spaces are simply connected.
In this case, the LES of a fibration sequence extends infinitely in both directions.
It’s more common to describe iterated extensions in terms of filtrations.
When this is the case, one says that the filtration is complete and Hausdorff.
For finite iterated extensions, however, these conditions are all automatic.

It’s easy to see that this inherits a spectrum structure.
Part one was kind of light on examples, though.
This is called the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence.
This causes the differentials to go down and right rather than left and up.
First we have to generalize our notion of cohomology a bit.
One place they come from is families of abelian groups.
The cohomology of X with coefficients in HA is called cohomology with local coefficients.
Where do local systems come from?
Here’s a fairly easy one.
When a=1 we do have such a fibration, namely the Hopf fibration.
One last comment deserves to be made.
I’m not sure how to go about trying to prove that.
(Edit: See below!)
However, there are other ways to do the reindexing.
It seems likely that a similar method would work for the Serre SS.
This dependency is usually written as x,y:obj⊢hom(x,y):Type.
See the references at dependent type theory.
(compact Lie groups admit bi-invariant Riemannian metrics)
Every compact Lie group admits a bi-invariant Riemannian metric.
Then every smooth action of G on X is proper.
Spaces of homomorphisms nearby homomorphisms from compact Lie groups are conjugate

Equivalently, we could say that for all a∈A we have a=¬¬a.
The underlying frames of Boolean locales are precisely complete Boolean algebras.
Maps of Boolean locales are automatically open.
This sublocale is Boolean and is also known as the double negation sublocale.
Thus groupoids have structure in dimensions 0 and 1.
and indeed that concept is even today hard to define in general.

This is Verdier duality in a “Grothendieck context” of six operations.
Grothendieck duality is intimately connected to dualizing complexes.
This was the original approach of Grothendieck in the book Residues and Duality.
In other words, RHom X(ℱ,f ×𝒢)→∼RHom Y(Rf *ℱ,𝒢) is a natural isomorphism.
Let X be a noetherian scheme.
ℛ has finite injective dimension.
The canonical morphism 𝒪 X→Rℋℴ𝓂 X(ℛ,ℛ) in D(ModX) is an isomorphism.
The relation between these two structures is demonstrated in the following Example.
Conversely, suppose we are given a dualizing complex ℛ X on each X∈S.
The Duality Theorem says that when f is proper, Tr f induces global duality.
Details of this extension of the theory are still under preparation.

Let H:= Smooth∞Grpd be the cohesive (∞,1)-topos of smooth ∞-groupoid.
We consider these constructions in the model H= Smooth∞Grpd.
This is a general higher geometry context for differential geometry.
In H= Smooth∞Grpd a canonical choice for A is the circle group A:=U(1)=ℝ/ℤ.
The meaning of the discrepancy in degee 1 and lower is discussed below.
So for this section let n∈ℕ with n≥2.
We give the proof below after some preliminary expositional discussion.
Of intrinsic meaning is only the set of their equivalences classes.
In this notation we have also the constant presheaf ♭B 2U(1)=Ξ(constU(1)→0→0).
In the next section we give the proof of this (simple) claim.
The first statements are effectively the definition and the construction of the above models.
we find that these indeed vanish.
This fixes the pseudo-components to be a ij=−dg ij.
For the lower square we had discussed this already above.
For the upper square the same type of reasoning applies.
Therefore the homotopy pullback is computed as an ordinary pullback.

A species is a symmetric sequence by another name.
Meaning: they are categorically equivalent notions.
For more, see structure type.
For more on this see also below the discussion In homotopy type theory.
There are in fact 5 important monoidal structures on the category of species.
The sum A+B of two species A, B is their coproduct A∐B.
The generating function of the sum of species is the sum of their generating functions.
The category core(FinSet) becomes a monoidal category under disjoint union of finite sets.
The category of species also has cartesian products.
This operation is often called the Hadamard product of species.
The category core(FinSet) also becomes a monoidal category under cartesian product of finite sets.
This monoidal structure induces another Day convolution monoidal structure on Species:=PSh(core(FinSet)).
(See Dirichlet series and the Hasse–Weil zeta function.)
A monoid with respect to the plethysm tensor product is called an operad.
Let FinSet be the type of finite sets (see at hSet).
We give four of the five monoidal structures here.
For more operations, see (Dougherty15).
The generating function is |X⋅Y|(z)=|X|(z)⋅|Y|(z).
A species X assigns an ∞-groupoid X n to each natural number n∈ℤ.
That coproduct of species maps to sum of their cardinalities is trivial.
then one obtains the notion of Schur functor.
This joint generalisation yields what are called generalised species.
In other words, it is a fixed point of the exponential map λx.ω x.
We wish to more generally discuss the criterion in the Landweber exact functor theorem.
This is equivalent to the map classifying G from Spec(R)→M p−div being unramified.
Let κ(x) be the residue field of R at x∈|Spec(R)|.
Let G be a p-divisible group defined over a commutative ring R.
On general field configurations the action functional is the suitable globalization of this expression.
The issue of the quadratic refinement was discussed in more detail in (HopkinsSinger).
A refinement to extended Lagrangians as above is discussed in (FSSII).
The nonabelian 7d action functional this obtained contains the following two examples as summands.
This modulates the Chern-Simons circle 7-bundle with connection on BString conn.
An (∞,1)-functor is a homomorphism between (∞,1)-categories.
It may be thought of as a homotopy coherent functor or strongly homotopy functor.
The details of the definition depend on the model chosen for (∞,1)-categories.
This serves to define the (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-functors.
Let C be an ordinary category.
This is naturally a simplicially enriched category.
Write N(KanCplx) for the homotopy coherent nerve of this simplicially enriched category.
This is the quasi-category-incarnaton of ∞Grpd.
These are precisely the homotopies that one sees also in an ordinary pseudofunctor.

There are two different concepts called Weil algebra.
This entry is about the notion of Weil algebra in Lie theory.
For the notion in infinitesimal geometry see infinitesimally thickened point/local Artin algebra.
The notion of Weil algebra is ordinarily defined for a Lie algebra 𝔤.
Let 𝔤 be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra.
We first consider Weil algebras of L-∞ algebras, then more generally of L-∞ algebroids.
A quick abstract way to characterize the Weil algebra of 𝔤 is as follows.
Notice that a free object is unique up to isomorphism .
For more on this see at adjusted Weil algebra.
So let T be a Fermat theory.
Write TAlg for the corresponding category of algebra.
See the corresponding entries for more details.
This implies the following universal freeness property:
We want to show that f is actually a dgca morphism.
This is the identity on the unshifted generators, and 0 on the shifted generators.
This means that homotopy-theoretically the Weil algebra is the point.
Dually, the ∞-Lie algebra inn(𝔤) is a model for the point.
In fact, it is a groupal model for universal principal ∞-bundles.
This is discussed at ∞-Lie algebra cohomology.
(See at geometry of physics – differential forms).
Concersely, the Cartan models form a generalization of the Weil algebra.
See at equivariant de Rham cohomology – Cartan model for more.
In the following we discuss these inner automorphism ∞-Lie algebras in more detail.
(See section 6 of (SSSI)).
Let 𝔤 be a finite dimensional Lie algebra.
For illustration, we spell this out in a basis.
Their δ E is our d CE.
Their δ θ is our d ρ (θ/ρ denoting the representation)..
See also the discussion at discrete space and discrete groupoid.
Discrete morphisms are often the right class of a factorization system.
If one demands arbitrary differentiabiliy then one speaks of smooth vector bundles over smooth manifolds.
Applying the category of elements functor produces a Thomason weak equivalence of categories.
A Gabriel composition of uniform filters is uniform.
This appears as (CohenVoronov, theorem 5.3.3).
W. Stephen Wilson is an American homotopy theorist based at John Hopkins University.
See also at cell structure of projective spaces.
We discuss these axiomatizations below in Formalization.
We discuss two different (but closely related) formalizations of these ideas.
Within the context of this geometry, we make the following definitions:
One such set of axioms is cohesion.
See at differential cohesion for how this works.
This connects the “gros” perspective back to the “petit” perspective.
an axiomatization of generalized geometry is proposed in terms of 1-category theory.
The evident generalization of this to (∞,1)-category theory provides an axiomatization for higher geometry.
This is discussed at cohesive (∞,1)-topos.
At the heart of Spinoza’s system is his concept of substance
He claims that substance thus understood is God.
Spinoza’s system is that of Descartes made objective in the form of absolute truth.
Spinoza’s first definition is of the Cause of itself.
The second definition is that of the finite.
That is the affirmative side of the limit.
The third definition is that of substance.
Spinoza, like Descartes, accepts only two attributes, thought and extension.
An infinite numerical series in mathematics is exactly the same thing.
Spinoza here also employs geometrical figures as illustrations of the Notion of infinity.
Does substance, one might here ask, possess an infinite number of attributes?
“The attribute is that which the understanding thinks of God.”
and whence come these two forms themselves?
It is a simple chain of reasoning, a very formal proof.
“Every attribute must be conceived for itself,” as determination reflected on itself.
If not, infinite substance would cease to exist, which is absurd.”(3)
By these proofs and others like them not much is to be gained.
God is therefore the absolute First Cause.”
God has not therefore any other thoughts which He could not have actualized.
“His essence and His existence are the same, namely, the truth.
In nature nothing is contingent.
God acts in accordance with no final causes (sub ratione boni).
God is an extended Being for the same reason.”
These then are Spinoza’s general forms, this is his principal idea.
Some further determinations have still to be mentioned.
We further find consciousness taken into consideration.
Truth is for Spinoza, on the other hand, the adequate.(7
Spinoza, however, also accepts both in their separation from one another.
Determination of the will (volitio) and Idea are one and the same thing.
All Ideas, in so far as they are referable to God, are true.
God Himself loves Himself with an infinite intellectual love.
This is therefore the purest, but also a universal morality.
The affirmative is the will, the intention, the act of Nero.
“Wherein then consists Nero’s criminality?
For in this way God and the respect to our understanding are different.
How is this to be conceived?
Reason cannot remain satisfied with this “also,” with indifference like this.
Spinoza’s system is absolute pantheism and monotheism elevated into thought.
They are many degrees worse than Spinoza.
The propositions have, as such, a subject and predicate which are not similar.
The result as proposition ought to be truth, but is only knowledge.
But whence have we these categories which here appear as definitions?
We find them doubtless in ourselves, in scientific culture.
There is lacking the infinite form, spirituality and liberty.
Thought has only the signification of the universal, not of self-consciousness.
But the reason that God is not spirit
is that He is not the Three in One.
A vector x∈ℋ is a separating vector if M(x)=0 implies M=0 for all M∈ℳ.
In the context of AQFT separating vectors appear as vacuum states .
See Reeh-Schlieder theorem.
Is this a correct assumption?
I’m pretty sure that is the case for finite Markov chains.
I’ll have to think about that.
A bicategory with all (small) local colimits is called locally cocomplete.
In particular, Prof = Prof(BSet) is locally cocomplete.
The technical requirements of this theory incited him to introduce the notion of fibered category.
A further transformation occured with the notion of topos.
Illusie introduced the notion of weak equivalence of simplicial presheaves on a Grothendieck site.
Maltsiniotis points out that Batanin’s definition is the closest to Grothendieck’s original idea.
Grothendieck also mentionned, somewhat cryptically, a potential application to stratified spaces.
See below at 1-Loop amplitudes.
Cumrun Vafa is a string theorist at Harvard.
Introducing the idea of F-theory:
That leads to the concept of a commutative invertible magma.
Every commutative loop is a commutative invertible unital magma.
Every commutative invertible quasigroup is a commutative invertible magma.
Every abelian group is a commutative invertible monoid.
The empty magma is a commutative invertible magma.
This entry contains a basic introduction to getting equivariant cohomology from derived group schemes.
Let A be an E ∞-ring.
Let E(A) denote the ∞-groupoid of oriented elliptic curves over SpecA.
The point is to prove the following due to Lurie.
Then we can define A S 1(*)=O(G).
Now let T be a compact abelian Lie group.
Define the Pontryagin dual, T^ of T by T^:=Hom Lie(T,S 1).
Let B be an A-algebra.
Define M T by M T(B):=Hom AbTop(T^,G(B)).
Further, M T is representable.
There exists a map M^ such that the assignment T↦M T factors as T↦M^(BT).
Further, such factorizations are in bijection with the preorientations of G. Proof.
That such a factorization exists defines M^ on objects.
Now we need a map BT′→Hom(M T,M T′).
be preoriented and X a finite T-CW complex
For trivial actions there is no dependence on the preorientation.
Remark F T(X) is actually a sheaf of algebras.
We now verify loop maps on A T.
Define L V=F T(BV,SV).
A T preserves equivalence;
Via homotopy equivalence (1) we reduce to X=T/T 0.

The theory is very similar and generalizes the discrete case of the ringed spaces.
This is (EH, theorem 7.2).
Then applying Lie differentiation yields a foliation of the Lie algebroid Lie(𝒢 •).

The possible degrees run between d=1 and d=9.
Topologically, del Pezzo surfaces are determined by their degree except for d=8.

This is known as the worldsheet parity operator.
The hypothesis I want to explore is that generalisation can be represented as an adjunction.
So perhaps other readers can supply technical substantiation or refutation.
If I can ever get funding then of course I’ll do so as well.
But suppose that many kinds of generalisation can be formulated as adjunctions.
Then what properties distinguish those adjunctions from others?
If none, does this mean that all adjunctions can be regarded as generalisations?
If so, does that tell us anything useful about adjunctions?
What is a concept?
I haven’t said anything about what a concept is.
Here are some examples.
The examples are two-dimensional points (members of R 2).
Generalisation is least-squares fitting, as above.
The concept is a line giving the best least-squares fit to the points.
Generalisation is fitting of some other statistical model.
The concept is an instance of that model.
The examples are logical sentences, classified as positive or negative.
Generalisation is training a linear-associator neural net.
Generalisation is nearest-neighbour prediction.
It can therefore be used to predict the preferred party of other voters.
I’ve taken this example from Truth from Trash by Chris Thornton.
The examples are the instances of generalisation given in this write-up.
Generalisation is fitting each to a notion in category theory.
See also the following section.
Let there be an arrow from P to P′ if P implies P′.
This makes C into a partial ordering defined by implication.
It has the obvious partial ordering by inclusion.
G and F reverse arrows, as in the next example.
The above is trivial, but I find it suggestive.
Now, we also know that in C, their conjunction is their limit.
So one object would be e(1),e(2).
Interpret the arrows in E as set inclusion.
Interpret the arrows as implication.
Now define G as follows.
G maps each singleton e(I) to the sentence e(I).
It maps sets with more than one element to the universally-quantified sentence.
It also reverses arrows, mapping set inclusion to reverse implication.
The functor G is “doing the best it can” in these circumstances.
Let E‘s objects be the non-empty sets of colinear elements of R 2.
Once again, let the arrows be set inclusion.
Let the arrows be set inclusion.
G maps inclusions to inclusions.
As with the previous instance, G flattens most of E into C.
All the instances above can be formalised as adjunctions.
3. G and F satisfy the Galois connection condition.
4. A Galois connection is a special case of an adjunction.
The first point follows from the orderings I imposed on E and C.
It holds also for G, because it can’t “cross over”.
The third point follows by simple calculation with these orders.
The fourth is a standard result.
Given any object c in C, there is a morphism taking every GFc to c.
Hence we get one natural transformation.
See also sections on “Change of language” below.
But I feel I’m missing something else.
What’s the essence?
A least-squares fit maps a set of points e i as follows.
Some points e good fall exactly onto the regression line.
Others, e bad, don’t.
What property is common to all points on a regression line?
I need fonts to distinguish between sets of examples and their elements…
(I need to complete this and the following examples.)
In this, I’m leading up to generalisation in simple neural networks.
Think of learning a linear transformation.
E is the category of sets of pairs ⟨v,w⟩.
(What does F do, and is it unique?)
Ought it to be some kind of completion of C above?
C will depend very tightly on how the associator is trained.
(Also to be completed.)
Let E be the category of real pairs ⟨h,t⟩.
Let C be the category of real pairs whose elements sum to 1.
Let G map ⟨h,t⟩ to ⟨h/(h+t),t/(h+t)⟩.
Let F be the identity.
(Are E and C discrete?)
I don’t know what to call this, but it feels relevant.
It’s a picture that came to me.
Imagine that E is the category of subsets of R 2.
(I’m being intentionally vague.)
Now let E′ and C also be the category of subsets of R 2.
(Assume there is a unique intersection.)
Let G=G 1;G 2.
Let G translate each …..
Imagine various views of a physical object such as a leather armchair.
Then we can merge these to make a composite view.
Set union is a special case of it.
But in real life, different views might disagree on their overlaps.
That also feels like a colimit.
We can regard the solution as being an initial object in a category of solutions.
5. But concepts are not physical objects
I don’t know whether one should call such reconstruction “generalisation”.
6. Which may be related to…
The first is called continuous perception and the second categorical perception.
Categorical perception (CP) can be inborn or can be induced by learning.
Categorical perception (CP) can be inborn or can be induced by learning.
Another idea that I want to capture is that of least general generalisation.
But I want to think of it more generally.
10. Implying as little as possible
It contains the information we need to reconstruct the examples, but nothing else.
This property too is something that I believe a generalisation should have.
This leads me to the intuition that generalisation can be represented as a limit.
I suppose there are various reasons for this: * Saving memory.
A mere conjunction can’t do that.
Can one regard that as a kind of generalisation?
For example, a linear regression line can’t represent non-colinear points exactly.
(Is this intuition worth formalising?)
Draw a grid on R 2 of cells of side 1.
Then F and G form a Galois connection.
This is worth looking into.

sober maps from compact spaces to Hausdorff spaces are closed and proper
In the context of geometric quantization of symplectic manifolds these arise as prequantum bundles.
But prequantum geometry is of interest in its own right.
Then every continuous function of the form K⟶fY is uniformly continuous.
This however would contradict the assumption that d Y(f(x k),f(y k))>ϵ.
Hence we have a proof by contradiction.

The object through which f factors is called the full image of f.
This means that this is an enhanced factorization system?.
This factorization system can be constructed using generalized kernels.
The maximal elongation is usually called the amplitude of oscillation.
Many partial differential equations for the mechanics of extended objects have wave solutions.
The amplitude depends both on the time and the position in space.
Finite superpositions have many typical features (e.g. Lissajous figures).
One then talks about a wave packet.
A wave packet can from far away look like a point particle.
Linear superposition is thus one of the basic features of quantum mechanics.

It is therefore even a stalkwise isomorphism.

This discussion began when I asked the following questions:
If this is not a natural transformation, is there another name for it?
If so, why don’t we define natural transformation in this more general way?
It seems more “natural” to me.
The whole thing just wants to bumped up incrementally in dimension.
If this is not a natural transformation, is there another name for it?
If so, why don’t we define natural transformation in this more general way?
It seems more “natural” to me.
Then this is a square in the 2-category of categories.
I was hesitant to put that 2-arrow in there.
I’m still learning this stuff and am on shaky ground.
If nothing, then I would call such a thing a square of functors.
And there should be a universal property which gives the right such category.
So morphisms in D C should correspond to functors 2→D C.
This is an exercise well worth working out.

So in particular μ being a cocycle means that d CE(𝔞)μ={μ,μ}=0.
To safe typing signs, we write as if all functions were even graded.

Throughout, our topos is denoted 𝒞.
We now want to identify conditions under which ⋄ /X is itself a monad.
First observe that the unit-like map is canonically present.
Therefore by the universal property of the pullback they have to coincide.
We now claim that this yields indeed a monad on the slice.
If moreover ⋄ is idemponent, then so is ⋄ /X. Proof
In this form we will mostly state this condition in the following.
Hence the claim follows by the universal property of the pullback.
This is naturally a (pointed) topologically enriched category itself.
A cosimplicial algebra is a cosimplicial object in the category of algebras.
A cohesive site is a small site whose topos of sheaves is a cohesive topos.
We say that C is a cohesive site if C has a terminal object.
Sheaves on a cohesive site are cohesive
Finally we need to show that ΓX→Π 0X is an epimorphism for all X.
Hence Sh(C) is a locally connected topos.
Moreover, since C is cosifted, Π 0 preserves finite products.
In particular, Sh(C) is connected and even strongly connected.
Next, we claim that C is a local site.
The right adjoint Codisc of Γ is defined by CoDisc(A)(U)=A C(*,U)=A Γ(U).
We now claim that the transformation Disc(A)→Codisc(A) is monic.
See at Aufhebung the section Aufhebung of becoming – Over cohesive sites
Consider a category C equipped with the trivial coverage/topology.
The first two conditions ensure that Sh(C)=PSh(C) is a cohesive topos.
If a subcategory on contractible spaces, then this is also an (∞,1)-cohesive site.
The axioms are readily checked.
Notice that the cohesive topos over ThCartSp is the Cahiers topos.
The cohesive concrete objects of the cohesive topos Sh(CartSp) are precisely the diffeological spaces.
See cohesive topos for more on this.
The choice is such that cells map composites of images to images of composite.
With the opposite choice one speaks of an oplax (or sometimes colax) functor.
A normal lax functor (sometimes called strictly unitary) preserves identities strictly.
There exist a similar concept for double and multiple categories.
If we add icons as 2-cells, this becomes a 2-category.
Any lax monoidal functor gives an example.
Similarly, oplax functors *→D are equivalent to comonads in D.
Another special case arises when D=BV for some monoidal category V.
Some old remarks on this case are in Note on lax functors and bimodules.
A general discussion of lax-oplax functors is in section 2.1 there.
Is there a name for something like that?
The interesting examples listed above (and others) don’t use any such condition.
For the case of Lie groups this is also called Klein geometry.
The collection of these distinguished squares is then called a “cd-structure”.
Typically this is much easier to check than the generic (homotopy-)descent condition.
We will call its elements χ-distinguished squares.
Any cd-structure gives rise in a canonical way to a Grothendieck topology on C.
Let χ be a complete cd-structure.
If χ is further regular, then the converse is also true.
It’s much better to consider only the simply-connected spaces.
Nevertheless, even Sullivan’s method is at least #P-hard.
That’s how effective method kicks in.
It adapts Hirsch’s method [fn:3].
Using functional programming, this becomes a real computing tool for homology and homotopy groups.
The other two, due to Voevodsky, work for arbitrary schemes.
Let X be a smooth scheme over a field k.
Note that Δ n is isomorphic to affine n-space 𝔸 n.
This is MaVoWe, Definition 3.4.
This open question is known as the Beilinson vanishing conjecture.
Below we only discuss the definition of these spaces over a field k.
This definition does not quite work over fields of positive characteristic.
In general one has to take cycles as described by Denis-Charles Cisinski below.
In characteristic zero both coincide.
The link to higher Chow groups however only becomes apparent in the cycle description.
To keep things simple, let us assume we work over a perfect field k.
For higher n, here is the following construction due to Voevodsky.
The presheaf L(X) is a sheaf for the Nisnevich topology.

A reflexive coequalizer is a coequalizer of a reflexive pair.
A category has reflexive coequalizers if it has coequalizers of all reflexive pairs.

This is due to (Linton).
Suppose C T has reflexive coequalizers.
That this reflexive coequalizer is the coproduct ∑ iA i in C T is routine.
Finally, a category with coproducts and reflexive coequalizers is cocomplete.

Therefore, by proposition , Set T is cocomplete.

How do you reflect on that?
(00:43) Reflecting on M-theory is quite a big challenge.
The story of M-theory began with the story of eleven dimensions.
(01:16) That involves compactifying the 11 dimensions down to 4.

The theories we looked at were not phenomenologically very promising.
However, that view was not a popular one, I have to say.
(03:46) That was the conventional view.

But the definition works more generally
RMod is an abelian category
Let the ambient monoidal category be Ab equipped with the tensor product of abelian groups.
Then RMod is an abelian category.
In fact RMod is a Grothendieck category.
We discuss now all the ingredients of this statement in detail.
Let U:RMod→Set be the forgetful functor to the underlying sets.
RMod has all cokernels.
The defining universal property of kernel and cokernels is immediately checked.
Let then g 1:N 2→N 2im(f) be the natural projection.
and let g 2:N 2→0 be the zero morphism.
The other direction is evident on elements.
This makes RMod into an Ab-enriched category.
The defining universal properties are directly checked.
The tensor unit is R regarded canonically as an R-module over itself.

This family should be isomorphic to the family I↬A.
This leads us to wonder how to define two families to be isomorphic.
Fix a family of sets U↬E.
So here’s a formulation that I think is more in the spirit of SEAR.
If A is U-small, then so is PA.
It also follows that coproducts and quotient sets preserve smallness.
Now consider a tabulation B′←rZ→sY of M∘f.
The naming of these two properties appears to be traditional, however.
See in particular the book Algebraic Set Theory by Joyal and Moerdijk.
Hence U-small functions are closed under dependent products.
Clearly the third condition implies the second.
The second implies the first, since pullbacks have isomorphic fibers.
Thus the difficulty is in showing that the first implies the second.
Suppose that f:B→A is U-small.
Since f is U-small, p is surjective.
Since each h is a bijection, k makes P a pullback of |E|.
Let M be a monoid.
We say that an element a∈M is a unit if it is invertible.
Every abelian group is trivially a unique factorization monoid.
Thus, this idea seems to be very unlikely.
Approaches to a full quantization of gravity therefore roughly fall into two different strategies
This is the approach taken for instance in string theory.
This expected decay process cannot be described without a theory of quantum gravity.
If true this would mean that a quantization of gravity in standard QFT is possible.
(See there for references on gravity).
Accordingly there are suggestions to modify instead the principles of perturbative quantum field theory.
But various central questions remain open and the state of the theory remains somewhat inconclusive.
(See first-order formulation of gravity).
Research in this direction has therefore become known as loop quantum gravity .
It is is not clear how this configuration space relates to that of ordinary gravity.
The problem with discriminating between all these proposals is the combination of two problems.
For details see there.

A motivating example for the concept of Bridgeland stability is the following classical notion.
Let X be a non-singular, projective curve over ℂ.
Let 𝒜=Coh(X) be the category of coherent sheaves on X.
The classical notion of the slope of a vector bundle is μ(E)≔deg(E)rk(E)
Thus Bridgeland stability generalizes the classical notions of stability of vector bundles.

Abstract clones are equivalent to Lawvere theories, and also to finitary monads.
This is the notion that’s equivalent to a cartesian operad or a Lawvere theory.
Here we write n=(x 1…x n).
These are the equations that are true in all models of the theory.
The η and c respect equivalence relations because we closed under substitution instances and congruence.
Conversely, any abstract clone can be regarded as a presentation of an algebraic theory.
The identity morphisms are η n.
Composition is (g∘f)(i)=(g(i)⊳j.f(j)).
This category is a Lawvere theory.
This gives an equivalence between abstract clones and Lawvere theories.
For example, an algebra for the abstract clone of groups is a group.
Now the category of T-algebras has a forgetful functor T−Alg→Set
Thus every abstract clone gives rise to a monad.
Conversely, suppose that M is a monad on the category of sets.
This gives an equivalence between finitary monads and abstract clones.
They are also the monads with arities in FinSet.
The definition of abstract clones given here is itself a presentation of algebraic structure.
In fact this adjunction is enriched in [FinSet,Set].

There is also a motivic Galois group of mixed motives.
See there for more on this.
In particular, each Voevodsky motive gives rise to a representation of this group.
On the other hand Nori motives are just representations of Nori’s motivic Galois group.
This assertion is stated without proof by Kontsevich and originally due to Nori.
Mathoverflow, What are the possible motivic Galois groups over Q ?.
Mathoverflow, Why would the category of Motives be Tannakian?.
This is a conjecture due to (Drinfeld 91).

, we call it the space of field histories.
Notably we need to be talking about differential forms on Γ Σ(E).
This structure on Γ Σ(E) is called the structure of a diffeological space:
For more background on diffeological spaces see also geometry of physics – smooth sets.
(Cartesian spaces are diffeological spaces)
More generally, the same construction makes every smooth manifold a smooth set.
(Fréchet manifolds are diffeological spaces)
Consider the particular type of infinite-dimensional manifolds called Fréchet manifolds.
For more background on this see at geometry of physics – smooth sets.
First we verify that the concept of smooth sets is a consistent generalization:
(diffeological spaces are smooth sets)
This function is a bijection.
That this is functorial is just the standard fact (?) from prop. .
The only diffeological space with this property is ℝ 0=* itself.
Therefore the smooth sets Ω k for k≥ are not diffeological spaces.
This appears notably in the construction of phase spaces below.
The corresponding infinitesimally thickened point is often denoted 𝔻 1(k)≔Spec((ℝ[[ϵ]])/(ϵ k+1)).
All the remaining elements are proportional to ϵ, and hence are nilpotent.
Thus f * as above is uniquely fixed.
This in turn means equivalently that ∂:C ∞(ℝ n)→C ∞(ℝ n) is a derivation.
For more background on this see at geometry of physics – manifolds and orbifolds.
We have the evident generalization of example to smooth geometry with infinitesimals:
Example (infinitesimally thickened Cartesian spaces are formal smooth sets)
Consider the infinitesimal line 𝔻 1↪ℝ 1 from example .
This follows by an analogous argument as in example , using the Hadamard lemma.
Beware that considering supergeometry does not necessarily involve considering “supersymmetry”.

For more details on superalgebra see at geometry of physics – superalgebra.
Let V be a finite dimensional real vector space.
This being a supercommutative algebra, it defines a superpoint (def. ).
We denote this superpoint by V odd≃ℝ 0|dim(V).
See at signs in supergeometry for further discussion.
For definiteness we spell it out yet once more:
For more background on this see at geometry of physics – supergeometry.
This function is a bijection.
This immediately generalizes also to the supergeometric context.
Proof Let U be any super Cartesian space.

This concludes our discussion of the concept of fields itself.

Related to global analytic geometry as number theory is to arithmetic geometry.
He thus remains at the point of view of mechanism pure and simple.
Space and time were hence to him the only determinations of the material universe.
An equivalent perspective on the above situation is often useful.
One condition is that s∈ρ(c) is taken to ρ(d) by f:c→d.
There is also its functoriality, i.e. its respect for composition.
A map is a Hurewicz fibration precisely if it admits a Hurewicz connection.
(See there for details.)
Every Hurewicz fibration is a Serre fibration.
Conversely, a Serre fibration between CW-complexes is a Hurewicz fibration.
Then p is a Hurewicz fibration
A proof may be found spelled out in e.g. May 99, Sec. 7.4
Discussion with a view towards homotopy type theory is in (Warren 08).
Example (empty bundles are Hurewicz fibrations)
Modeled by circle 6-bundle with connection.
Consider a circle n-bundle with connection ∇ on a space X.
For n=1 this is the coupling of the electromagnetic field to particles.
For n=2 this is the coupling of the Kalb-Ramond field to strings.
The curvature F ∇∈Ω n+1(X) is a closed (n+1)-form.
Witten and Kapustin argued that this is governed by the geometric Langlands correspondence.
The associated C3-field and C6-field are electric-magnetic duals.

But I got sidetracked writing linear order and loset instead.
Spun simplicial groupoid off of simplicially enriched category.
Classical propositional calculus has an algebraic model, namely a Boolean algebra.
This is as well as the geometric semantics using frames.
The term polymodal algebra is then used for the general case.
The general theory is discussed in the Survey by Goldblatt (see the references).
Let 𝔉=(W,R) be a frame.
The proof is a simple manipulation of the definitions.
The dual operator l is given by l(T)={w∈W∣∀t∈T¬Rwt}.
(Again look at this for the preorder and equivalence frame cases.)
(For convenience each has been given a separate entry.)
A preordered set, or proset, is a set equipped with a preorder.
The existence of such a morphism corresponds to the truth of the relation x≤y.
Any preordered set is equivalent to a poset.
Let (P,≤) be a preorder.
Then the quotient set P/∼ is a poset.
For more on this perspective see at Segal space – Examples – In Set.
When treated in this sense, preordered sets are not equivalent to posets.
This appears as (Rosolini, prop. 2.1).
This appears as (Rosolini, corollary. 2.3).
The right-hand square is commutative and this square defines a homotopy lifting problem.
If π is a fibration this universal homotopy lifting problem has a solution, say s˜:Cocyl(p)×I→E.
One can easily check that this map is a section of π !.
The lifting is then given by s˜∘(θ×id I):Y×I→E.
Simple checking finishes the proof.
Of course there are many other equivalent characterizations of Hurewicz fibrations.

Here are the entries on the previous sessions:
Let M Der be the derived Deligne-Mumford moduli stack of oriented elliptic curves.
The Tate curve defines a cohomology theory K Tate (an elliptic spectrum).
Note that SAB does not contain tori.
SAB in essence is completely determined by the supergroup ℝ 2|1.
For each n∈ℤ, we have AFT n≃(K Tate) n. Proof.
Let E be a degree 0 field theory.
The spectral argument follows from having an S 1 action.
Under E the vector fields map to L,L¯, and G respectively.
Let F 0={{0},ℤ ≥0}, so X F 0=SpecR[ℤ ≥0]=SpecR[q].
Also, let F=⟨σ n⟩ n∈ℤ, where σ n={(a,b)∈ℤ×ℤ|na≤b≤(n+1)a}.
Similarly, define R[[q]] as the formal completion of R[q] along q=0.
That is, there exists a unique derived scheme T→SpecR[[q]] such that T^=SpfT.
We call the derived scheme T in the theorem above the Tate curve.
There are many subtleties associated with M Der¯.
The global sections of the structure sheaf thus constructed is the spectrum tmf.

Idea Category theory is a toolset for describing the general abstract structures in mathematics.
But it is far from the case that all categories are of this type.
Categories are much more versatile than these classical examples suggest.
As such it generalizes the concepts of monoid and poset.
Categories were named after the examples of concrete categories.
Category theory reflects on itself.
Categories are about collections of morphisms.
And there are evident morphisms between categories: functors.
And there are evident morphisms between functors: natural transformations.
General statements about categories apply to each specific concrete category of mathematical structures.
But abstract nonsense still tends to meet with some resistance.
For instance that functors between two categories form themselves a category: the functor category.
This leads to the notion of presheaf categories and sheaf toposes.
Much of category theory is topos theory.
Category theory has a handful of central lemmas and theorems.
Their proof is typically easy, sometimes almost tautological.
Further information can be found on the applied category theory page.
See category theory vs order theory for more discussion.
The concepts of category, functor and natural transformation were introduced in
And with category theory we are confronted with the same pedagogical problem.
And such is the case.
But the progression does not stop here.
There are maps between functors, and they are called natural transformations.
And it was in order to define these that Eilenberg and MacLane first defined functors.
The Catsters are Eugenia Cheng and Simon Willerton (anyone else?).
Discussion of the relation to and motivation from the philosophy of mathematics includes
It has a highly combinatorial and pictorial, and sometimes also elementary, flavour.
A category is svelte if the class of objects of its skeleton is a set.
In other words svelte category is a category equivalent to a small category.
The expression is probably due to Pierre Gabriel.
This is the same as an essentially small category.
Accordingly one calls Σ the worldvolume of the given (n−1)-brane when n>1.
Linear operators on normed spaces are continuous precisely iff they are bounded.
A bornological space retains this property by definition.
Equivalently every seminorm that is bounded on bounded sets is continuous.
The bornology of a given TVS is the family of bounded subsets.
Every inductive limit of Banach spaces is a bornological vector space.
One can consider the underlying real principal bundle ξ R.
The action functional is real valued.
Path integral is defined for such real action functionals.

Roman Sikorski defined the term “differential module” in 1971/72.
Mark Mostow further developed the theory in 1979.
The rule U→C ∞(U) defines a sheaf on X (denoted C ∞X).
The elements of C ∞(X) are called smooth functions on X.
This shows that lists are just tuples.
This is Part I of an exposition by Todd Trimble on ETCS.
This is a post on “foundations of mathematics” (eek!).
That’s an unfortunate misunderstanding.
I’m not proposing for a moment to “overthrow” it.
This is intentionally vague.
The “needs of working mathematicians” fluctuate over time and place and person.
The first “needs no introduction”, as they say.
I’ll start with the more familiar ZFC.
This may seem innocent enough, but the consequences are quite far-reaching.
Why is this a big deal?
A reasonable analogue might be dynamical systems.
There are other formulations of ZFC.
My own reaction is that ZFC is perhaps way too powerful!
We turn now to consider a categorical approach, ETCS.
This will require retooling the way we think of mathematical membership.
(Meaning, elements are not themselves presupposed to be sets.)
Civilians call them “functions”.
A function x:1→X corresponds to an ordinary element of X.
This brings us right to the second point.
It is a firm resolve to always honor context-dependence.
For any real mathematical purpose, this is good enough.)
Clearly, we are witnessing here radical departure from how membership is treated in ZFC.
A few quick answers: no, we don’t lose any essential freedoms.
Okay, it is probably time to lay out the axioms of ETCS.
This should come as no surprise.
A choice of product c is usually denoted a×b.
A relation from a to b is an injective function or subset r↪a×b.
Under strong extensionality, we may drop the qualifier “generalized”.
This completes the list of axioms for ETCS.
To make good on this claim, further discussion is called for.
I plan to take this up later, provided I have the energy for it.
I want to show this need not be the case.)
Let ‖X‖ denote its support.
See (Fourman-Scedrov) and (KECA).
Thus, splitting of supports can be regarded as a weaker form of excluded middle.
We might pronounce this version as “all supports merely split”.
As before, the truncated version is true under LEM but may fail otherwise.
The “world’s simplest axiom of choice” fails.
We write 𝒰 •:≡∑ (A:𝒰)A for the type of pointed types in the universe 𝒰.
An element of it will be called a loop at a.
The dual notion, of course, is a pushout or cocartesian square.
We leave the verification of homotopy exactness of all squares to the reader.
, the left-hand square in such an extension must also be a pullback.
We state it in terms of pushouts.
, it suffices to suppose that K=(J∖z).
See all references at derivator.
These non-classical combinations of states of subsystems are called entangled states.
States in the image of p are called product states or separable states.
An entangled state is a state which is not a product state.
However, there is also a notion of entanglement for mixed states.
This can be made formal by the following definition.
An example of a local stochastic operation is as follows.
She then measures the ancilla qubit.
Perhaps more surprising is the following result to to Dur, Vidal, and Cirac.
The two states are defined as: |W⟩=|100⟩+|010⟩+|001⟩|GHZ⟩=|000⟩+|111⟩
Each of these states yields the structure of a commutative Frobenius algebra.
|GHZ⟩ yields a special CFA and |W⟩ yields an “anti-special” CFA.
The following work included the consideration of identical particles into the study of quantum entanglement.
The simplest analogue is the dihedral homology.
The sociology of folklore theorems can be subtle.
Products of local observables are called multilocal observables.
These happen to be also microcausal observables (this example).
A string structure on a manifold is a higher version of a spin structure.
A lift one further step through the Whitehead tower is a Fivebrane structure.
Let X be an n-dimensional topological manifold.

Let the ambient (∞,1)-topos by H= ETop∞Grpd or Smooth∞Grpd.
Write X for a topological manifold or smooth manifold of dimension n, respectively.
That leads to differential string structures.
This decomposition is a special case of th general Whitehead principle of nonabelian cohomology.
Let X be a manifolds with spin structure S:X→BSpin.
Write P→X for the corresponding spin group-principal bundle.
This kind of definition appears in (Redden, def. 6.4.2).

If the categories are toposes then such embeddings are called geometric embeddings.
The reflector in that case is the sheafification functor.
In particular, C is then also cartesian closed.
This appears for instance as (Johnstone, A4.3.1).
See also at reflective subuniverse.
See Day's reflection theorem for a more general statement and proof.
Such reflective subcategories are sometimes called mono-reflective.
Also note that ‘bireflective’ here does not mean reflective and coreflective.
In this explicit form this appears as (Lurie, prop. 5.5.1.2).
A reflective subcategory of a well-powered category is well-powered.
This is AdamekRosicky, theorem 6.28
(Remark after corollary 6.24 in Adamek-Rosicky book).
In particular, if L preserves finite products, then D is cartesian closed.
This is shown in (BashirVelebil).
Or, an integral domain is a field equipped with numerator and denominator functions.
This makes the inclusion functor precisely a geometric inclusion of toposes.
In a recollement situation, we have several reflectors and coreflectors.
The analogue in noncommutative algebraic geometry is in (Rosenberg 98, prop 4.4.3).
The reflection is given by the homotopy category functor.
sheaf toposes are equivalently the left exact reflective subcategories of presheaf toposes

This we discuss next (Def. below).
This matrix has two eigenvectors over the rational numbers (in general).
(See also Conner-Floyd 66, p. 100.)
The resulting invariant is denoted e ℝ (Adams 66, p. 39).
Moreover, the pasting law implies that this bottom middle square is itself homotopy cartesian.
The bottom right square is the homotopy pushout defining ∂.
Hence we have a diagrammatic construction of an invariant of [c] in ℚ/ℤ.
Let E be a locally small category with all small colimits.
It is called absolutely presentable if the functor preserves all colimits.

But under certain hypotheses, the two notions coincide; see for instance Proposition .
The notion of tiny object is clearly highly dependent on the base of enrichment.
The morphism X→0 induces a map Hom(X,X)→Hom(X,0).

Let E denote the presheaf category.
(Compare the result here.)
By assumption this has a further right adjoint f ! and hence preserves all colimits.
By prop. this means that F belongs to C¯⊂[C,Set].

Traditional geometric quantization applies to symplectic manifolds but not to Poisson manifolds.
This is symplectic, in higher symplectic geometry.
Its Lie integration is a symplectic groupoid.
But the following similarity might be relevant:
The resulting twisted convolution algebra? is that of compact operators on X/ℱ.
Symplectic groupoids were introduced as intended tools for the quantization of Poisson manifolds in
Let K be a field.

However, they are all instances of the linearization of a finiteness space.

Every span factors as an extremal epi followed by a jointly-monic span.
Every regular category is locally regular.
Factorizations of spans may be obtained by factorizations of single morphisms into a binary product.
is locally regular, but not regular.
Its slice categories are precisely the sheaf toposes of spaces (or locales).
A locally regular category is regular if and only if it has a terminal object.
For composition of relations, we require pullbacks and stable factorizations of spans.
For intersection of binary relations, we require equalizers.
So locally regular categories are essentially the same as tabular allegories.

In order to understand the definition, we recall a little notation.
Given a field F, the notation F¯ denotes an algebraic closure of F.
We require that X F satisfies certain conditions: TODO.
The field extension F/F mod is Galois.
These examples are described in Corollary 2.2 of IUTT IV.
This notion is due to Mochizuki.
In this general form this is due to (May).
This tells us firstly that these cohomology rings are particularly nice.
Thus if χ(G/T)>0 then τ∘Bi * hence Bi * is injective.
This case is typically the default meaning of the “splitting principle”.
The basic theorem of Hirzebruch series expresses genera via the splitting principle.

A modular form of weight k is a section of ω ⊗k.
This generalizes to the case of other congruence subgroups (as above).
Generally such functions on coset spaces like this are called automorphic forms.
Modular forms can be acted on by Hecke operators (related to Hecke correspondence).
A cusp form is normalized if its first Fourier coefficient is equal to 1.
Modular forms can be used to construct Galois representations.
Known cases include the modularity theorem of TaylorWiles95 and BreuilConradDiamondTaylor2001.
Write MF •(Γ 0(2)) for the ring of these.
Let X be a scheme over a perfect field k of positive characteristic p.

The ring structure is just the addition and multiplication of the Witt vectors.
The operations on the Witt vectors sheafify as well.
When n≥m we have the exact sequence 0→𝒲 m→V𝒲 n→R𝒲 n−m→0.
If we take m=1, then we get the sequence 0→𝒪 X→𝒲 n→𝒲 n−1→0
If X is projective then H q(X,𝒲 n) is a finite Λ-module.
It is also called the cubical category, although that term can be ambiguous.
Do we have a similar definiton of the globe category?
These satisfy the cubical identities: … to be inserted …
This makes □ into a monoidal category.

Hence these are solutions used as models in cosmology.
Indeed, an FRW-model is part of the standard model of cosmology.
Let C be a differential graded category.
For a locally connected locale one can define its set of connected components.

But with due care exercised, the stable homotopy category itself is useful.
Historically this was advertised as being a construction free of tools of category theory.
There is also a CW-spectrum-replacement functor Γ.
The smash product of spectra makes the stable homotopy category into a symmetric monoidal category.
A module object over such is a module spectrum.

Equivalently this may be expressed in terms of open subsets:
Under these equivalences, the two conditions are manifestly the same.
Yet another equivalent characterization is in terms of frame homomorphisms:
See also (Johnstone 82, II 1.3).
Hence this is indeed a frame homomorphism τ X→τ *.
Finally, it is clear that these two operations are inverse to each other.
(For the moment see the references at topological insulator etc.)
Their theory is also more general than the homogeneous model theory.
This is the fusion ring of 𝒞.
The only difference is the Schur indices.
Hence the character tables over the real numbers do differ.

Thanks, Andrew and David, I should have gotten that.
This is explained by Hazewinkel in his article cited on lambda-ring.
Incorporated results of discussion into effective epimorphism and regular epimorphism.
Urs Schreiber created Kan fibrant replacement
I just donated something to the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare for that.
By removing that section, you were trying to create a non-existent link.
By reformatting that sentence, I was able to remove the section.

Please see if the notation is comprehensible.
I have to check on a couple of things, but I left query boxes.

Toby knows how to typeset such arrows correcty.
Eventually that should be discussed better at the relevant entries.
I think Andrew gets credit for that.

Hmm, is there a difference between λ-ring and Λ-ring?
Added more information to tensorial strength.
Some of this should be checked.
Added more examples to lax functor.
This works for categories enriched over a bicategory, not just a monoidal category.

If so, maybe someone could add a link.
(Urs could probably answer the rest.)
Please remember to alert us here.
At the moment that one is not a good advertisement of the nLab project.
replied and reacted at locally presentable category
Urs Schreiber where did you see that term used?
Maybe the question (or its answer) belongs at colimit.
Do you have an idea what a cocone itself is?
These I would call “components of the cocone”.
In higher categories sometimes multistep factorizations systems are interesting, like Postnikov towers in topology.
Tried to explain what sort of evil I meant at essential image.
I actually do not think that Toby’s correction to essential image is correct.
I mean that essential image is removing evil from image.
In bicategory Cat the two are equivalent; in category Cat they are not isomorphic.
I am not sure I know what you mean by external vs internal.
Is it the one I suggested it should be?
Another is image as a subcategory in literal sense.
Thus it mixes the two.
Hence it is by no means superimposable to homotopy limits in any case.

Added a comment at free cocompletion, which got me looking for “pseudoadjunction”.

I’ve thought about this some more and something still bothers me about the idea.
Has anyone put forward any serious theories of a “metric with memory”?
Asking that questions give me a sense of deja vu (getting old sucks).

Help is more than welcome.

Also comment at sphere regarding topology on infinite sphere for the purposes of contractibility.
Created opposite relation, quite brief.
Wrote sphere and pointed space to fill some gaps.
Zoran ?koda? created microbundle.
Note that classical references do not mention morphisms, just isomorphisms or equivalences of microbundles.
Possibly the answers should inform equivalence.
I have encorporated a point made by Zoran? about the history of Cech methods.
I do not know how one should write correctly.
Toby thank you for the tip for getting the SOURCE of old versions.
You are very knowledgable about wiki world. :)

Began generalized (Eilenberg-Steenrod) homotopy.
A general geometric (higher geometric) interpretation has been indicated in Ben-ZviFrancisNadler.
See also this prop.
This case is discussed in (Francis) and (Lurie).
This proved Deligne’s conjecture.
Various authors later further refined this result.
A summary of this history can be found in (Hess).
Direct proofs of the Deligne conjecture have been given in.
See the discussion of the Examples below.
The general construction can be summarized as follows:
We write π n=π∘Σ −n.
(The sequence itself is the filtering on X.)
(The sequence itself is the co-filtering on X.)
This appears as (Higher Algebra, def. 1.2.2.9).
Let I be a linearly ordered set.
This is Higher Algebra, def. 1.2.2.2.
By the commutativity of the original pasting diagram these two paths are equivalent.
The equivalence is given by left and right (∞,1)-Kan extension.
This is Higher Algebra, lemma 1.2.2.4.
Let X • be a filtered object in the sense of def. .
Write X(•,•) for the corresponding ℤ-complex, according to prop. .
This shows that we indeed have the above sequence of morphisms →ϕ→ϕ′→ψ′→ψ.
We can now consider the convergence of the spectral sequence of prop. .
This is due to (Higher Algebra, prop. 1.2.2.14).
A quick review is in (Wilson 13, theorem 1.2.1).
Every sequence of spectra manifests itself on homotopy groups in a spectral sequence.
(See also the title of (Wilson 13)).
Needs further discussion/harmonization.
This exact couple gives rise in the usual way to a spectral sequence.
Let X • be a cofiltered object.
Let X • be a filtered object in 𝒞 such that lim←X • exists.
Review is in (Wilson 13, theorem 1.2.1).
It is thus strongly convergent if K is a finite spectrum.
See at spectral sequence of a simplicial stable homotopy type.
See J-homomorphism and chromatic homotopy for an exposition.
In this form this appears as (Lurie 10, theorem 2).
A review is in (Wilson 13, 1.3).

The first Chern class is the unique characteristic class of circle group-principal bundles.
The analogous classes for the orthogonal group are the Pontryagin classes.
From here we proceed by induction.
So assume that the statement has been shown for n−1.
Consider the induced Thom-Gysin sequence.
Now by another induction over these short exact sequences, the claim follows.
See determinant line bundle for more.
This is hence often called the top Chern class of the vector bundle.
For n∈ℕ let Bι n:B(U(1) n)⟶BU(n) be the canonical map.
First consider the case n=1.
The classifying space BU(1) is equivalently the infinite complex projective space ℂP ∞.
Moreover, Bi 1 is the identity and the statement follows.
This implies the claim for k<n.
This completes the induction step.
Let X be a smooth manifold.
Their Chern classes are hence invariants of the linear representations themselves.

Ordinary substitution is a meta-level notion, i.e. an operation on syntax.
By contrast, explicit substitutions incorporate a notion of substitution as part of a syntax.
The relation between x⟨x≔y⟩ and y is recovered by modifying the reduction relation.
Note that there is no rule for reducing a term of the form (M⟨x≔N⟩)⟨y≔P⟩.
These constructions help to show the correctness of the implementation of the associated type theories.
They can also be modified so as to no longer satisfy extensionality.
And this is how it should be.
The standard semantics should be just that: standard.
It should come as no surprise.
a has type A, written a:A.
The definition is by induction-recursion.
Note that each such collection may itself be a prior inductive definition.
The other judgment forms similarly respect reverse reduction in all positions.
By reflexivity, the specification of which terms have a type is technically redundant.
It is just reiterating the reflexivity instances of equality.
Meaning explanations provide a sense in which type theory is about computational behavior.
For this system, the computational behavior of a term is to return a value.
Here are three paradigmatic examples.
This clause for function types is not the one Martin-Löf proposed.
The element equality clause gets an analogous change.
So it’s a trade-off.
Intuitively, open terms are multi-argument dependent functions.
Respect for equality is enforced in a manner to agree with the function type constructor.
In the end, everybody must understand for himself.
The category of classes has classes as objects and maps of classes as morphisms.
We interpret P(x) as saying that x belongs to the class P.
A relation from A to B is a subclass of A×B.
The class indexed by i∈I is the preimage f *{i}.
The category of classes considered above is not a large category in this sense.
We do not require large categories to be locally small.
Suppose I is a large category.
An I-indexed diagram of classes is defined as follows.
First, we have an I-indexed family of classes f:T→I.
(The domain of tr is a class because t and h are sets.)
Finally, the transition map satisfies the usual axioms expected from a functor.
We take T=I×C with f:T→I being the projection map.
The transition map sends (t,h)↦t.
The category of classes admits all small limits.
(Observe that P is indeed a class.)
Thirdly, coequalizers of classes exist by Scott's trick.
The category of classes is a primordial example of a category with class structure.
Small maps coincide with open maps.
The universal class is the class of all sets.
This entry contains one chapter of geometry of physics.
But this says in components that h 2=h 1⋅h.
This establishes that π 1 is alspo an equivalence on all hom-groupoids.
This proof also shows that B(−) is in fact the inverse equivalence:
One hence speaks of weak 2-groups.
Specifically for the case of group cohomology, this is the following simple statement.
Let A be an abelian group.
A homotopy between two such morphisms is equivalently a coboundary between two such cocycles.
It is instructive to spell this out in low degree.
Hence this is the cocycle condition.
A similar argument gives the coboundaries.
The inverse equivalence B we call the delooping operation.
For H= ∞Grpd this is the May recognition theorem.
For general H this is Lurie, "Higher Algebra", theorem 5.1.3.6.

One usually relabels the j-morphisms as (j−k)-morphisms.

And, therefore, the proposition in which we thus speak is a secondary one.
Then E admits an orthogonal structure.
Such a reduction is also known as a choice of vielbein.
Yes: It is strong.
No: It is weak.
The condition that an orthogonal structure be strong is very restrictive.
The idea is quite simple.
We can assume that V has dense image, but this is not strictly necessary.
See there for more details.
However, so far there is not a standard definition of elementary (∞,1)-topos.
It is right proper if weak equivalences are preserved by pullback along fibrations.
Therefore, any such (∞,1)-category admits a model of type theory.
The requirements for Π-types and identity types are similar.
Dependent products and identity types are similar.
Thus, we have a univalent universe which is “weakly a la Tarski”.

First we introduce partially ordered groups.
Many sources abbreviate ‘lattice ordered group’ to ‘ℓ-group’.
Properties The group operation distibutes over both ∨ and ∧.
This is easily proved once one notes that inversion reverses the order.
We then also have x −1=1/x - which is neat!
This gives that any lattice ordered group gives a residuated lattice.
He later considered Lattice-ordered Lie groups.
There are several monographs or books on the subject of lattice ordered groups.

What Is the QED Project and Why Is It Important?
The third motivation for the QED project is education.
Mathematics is arguably the foremost creation of the human mind.
It will thus provide some antidote to the degenerative effects of cultural relativism and nihilism.
In providing motivations for things, one runs the danger of an infinite regression.
In the end, we take some things as inherently valuable in themselves.
We speculate that this cultural motivation may be the foremost motivation for the QED project.
Fifth, the QED system may help preserve mathematics from corruption.
One can easily imagine corrupting forces that could undermine these achievements.
The QED system could offer an antidote to any such tendency.
Sixth, the ‘noise level’ of published mathematics is too high.
Seventh, QED can help to make mathematics more coherent.
There is mathematical knowledge that is neither taught in classes nor published in monographs.
It is below what mathematicians call “folklore,” which is explicitly formulated.
Let us call this lower level of unformulated knowledge “mathlore”.
In formalization efforts, we must formalize everything, and that includes mathlore lemmas.
Good mathematicians understand trends and connections in their field.
The spectral action is a natural functional on the space of spectral triples.

This is the coherence law on composition.
For more details on this see model structure on algebraic fibrant objects.
See relation between quasi-categories and simplicial categories for more.
The nerve of a category is a quasi-category.
One approach along these lines is the theory of weak complicial sets.
This generalised the nerve of an ordinary category.
For several years Joyal has been preparing a textbook on the subject.
In both these cases the higher gauge fields are cocycles in ordinary differential cohomology.
The question then is: which line bundle?
This is what the central theorem of (Hopkins-Singer 02) establishes rigorously.
One way to achieve this is to choose a conformal structure on Σ.
Therefore it provides a complex structure on Ω 2k+1(Σ)⊗ℂ.
Evidently these provide a decomposition into Lagrangian subspaces.
(See also at Serre duality.)
With this notation, the pullback of differential forms along this embedding is notationally implicit.

Let S be any set, and let N be the set of natural numbers.
In weaker foundations, more care may be needed.
Of course, the terms are even less standardised here.
There is a lot of freedom in defining uncountability.
All of these definitions are equivalent!
The set of real numbers is uncountable.
If a set has a denumerable subset, then its power set is uncountable.
In contrast, the set of algebraic numbers is denumerable.
Classically, every set is countable xor uncountable.
Even constructively, a countably indexed set cannot be uncountable.
In Russian constructivism, however, there are subcountable sets that are also uncountable.
In some formalisms of Russian constructivism, every set is subcountably indexed.
The empty set is countable, although not denumerably indexed.
Even constructively, a countable set is empty xor inhabited.
Conversely, every uncountable set is infinite.
Thus classically, a countable set is finite xor denumerable.
Classically (using countable choice), countable unions of countable sets are countable.
Still, he urged Cantor to publish.
However, the argument is acceptable to any non-finitist constructivist.
However, Cantor gave Dedekind no credit.

Let A,B be separable C *-algebras.

Put these groups in a square, with the inclusion maps between them.
Removing the condition that the inclusions are inclusions (!) gives the general form.
The operations of P are the standard ones and h is the generalised Whitehead product.
(The conventions may be slightly different from the standard ones in homotopy theory.)
It also implies that one is calculating some (pointed) homotopy 3-types.
The h-map can be explicitly given.
Then G becomes a cat 2-group.
The h-map of the crossed square derives from a commutator in G.

Also consider a Riemannian manifold structure on X.
This is due to (Corlett 88).

It is this kind of relation which is generalized by the nonabelian Hodge theorem.
The following lemma and proposition is a replication of his ideas.
Since 𝒯 is initial, π is a retraction for the unique logical functor i:𝒯→𝒯^.
(Note that this clearly fails in the presence of excluded middle.)
(Again, this is clearly a constructivity property.)
The natural numbers object N is an (external) projective object.
The free topos was first constructed by H. Volger.

In this context the appropriate maps are geometric morphisms.
But this is the standard terminology convention.)
Every semisimple Lie algebra is a reductive Lie algebra.
The (almost) correct definition was probably first written down in StreetCBS.
These are the 2-congruences.
Before we define 2-congruences below in def. , we need some preliminaries.
See prop. below.
D 0←D 1→D 0 is a two-sided fibration in K.
Suppose first that D 0←D 1→D 0 is a two-sided fibration.
The quotient q in any 2-congruence is eso.
And there is a refined version where internal functors are replaced by internal anafunctors.
The opposite of a homwise-discrete category is again a homwise-discrete category.
This is theorem below.
A sub-2-category of Cong s(K) is the regular completion of K.
Suppose that K has finite 2-limits.
Then: HDC(K) (def. ) has finite limits.
nCong s(K) is closed under finite limits in HDC(K).
It suffices to deal with finite products, inserters, and equifiers.
Evidently Φ(1) is a terminal object.
Also E is an n-congruence if C is, and Φ preserves equifiers.
Thus, Φ is homwise fully faithful.
But this implies f is an equivalence; thus e is eso.
Now suppose that f:D→E is any functor in nCong s(K).
There are three “problems” with the 2-category nCong s(K).
While it is regular, it is not exact.
It doesn’t remember information about K.
The solution to the first problem is straightforward.
Thus, 2Cong(K) has finite limits.
Finally, by construction clearly the inclusion of 2Cong s(K) preserves finite limits.
For homwise essential-surjectivity, suppose that ker(A)←F→ker(B) is an anafunctor.
Thus, Φ is homwise an equivalence.
Thus, Φ is essentially surjective, and hence an equivalence.
The same argument works for discrete objects.
We already know that nCong(K) has finite limits and Φ preserves finite limits.
The rest is very similar to Theorem .
(In fact, C is the image of F→B in nCong s(K).)
Thus, A←F→C is the quotient of its kernel; so nCong(K) is regular.
Thus it remains only to show that K nex/reg is n-exact.
Let K:= Grpd be the 2-category of groupoids.
This is clearly a faithful functor.
Moreover, every morphism in Grpd is trivially a conservative morphism.
So ℂ 1→ℂ 0×ℂ 0 is a discrete morphism in Grpd.
It follows that ℂ is indeed a 2-congruence, def. .
This is evidently the internally discrete category ℂ 0→id→idℂ 0.
This is the homology long exact sequence.
In this respect, a pseudotopological space is a special kind of convergence space.
It is also a reflective subcategory of filter spaces (Thm 10.3).
Note that an ultrafilter clusters at x iff it converges to x.
That is, it is an algebra for the pointed endofunctor 𝒰.
This results in binomial sets.
Idea The notion of coinvariant is dual to that of invariant.
The category of manifolds, it is felt, is not big enough.
The real problem with this is that it is an external characterisation.
The purpose of this page is to study a possible description of manifolds.
The description is motivated by the construction of manifolds of smooth maps?.
The rough idea behind a local addition is simple.
This translates into the transition functions being smooth.
Thus a locally additive space is locally smoothly modelled in its tangent spaces.
We shall also work with the most precise version.
Putting all of this together, we shall use the following definition.
Although the obvious definition, as it stands it is not quite precise.
In this article, we shall use the kinematic tangent space.
This requires that we supply our smooth spaces with a topology.
These both seem quite reasonable!
As a direct consequence of this lifting, we get the following simple result.
The lifting property of a locally additive space implies that these two are the same.
Let (X,η) be a locally kinematic space.
For x∈X, the two smooth structures on T xX agree.
That is, T xX→TX is an embedding.
This is smooth and splits the quotient C ∞(ℝ,X)→TX.
The motivation for locally kinematic spaces comes from considering mapping spaces.
All of the categories of generalised smooth space are cartesian closed.
This construction is functorial and satisfies lots of nice properties.
The locally additive structure allows us to construct the inverse.
We need to define an inverse for this map.
This map is defined as follows.
Let α∈C ∞(S,TX).
Thus we have the required inverse.
With that in place, we can now fill in the missing pieces.
Then C ∞(S,X) is again a locally kinematic space.
Then for x∈X, the tangent space T xX is a vector space.
Consider the curve t↦(η(tv),η(u)).
There is, therefore, some interval (−ϵ,ϵ) for which (η(tv),η(u))∈V.
Thus we define a map: ℝ×(−ϵ,ϵ)→TX,(s,t)↦s⋅(π×η) −1(η(tv),η(u)).
Let us write this as τ:ℝ×(−ϵ,ϵ)→X for short.
We note that it is smooth, as it is a composition of smooth maps.
In this case, τ is the map (s,(1−s)t).
Thus the path is t↦η(tv).
Hence the image of ∂ t is v.
Unravelling this, we get s↦η(su).
Hence the image of ∂ s is u.
Hence τ *(∂ s+∂ t) is the sum u+v.
Thus a locally additive space is modelled on vector spaces.
The key difference between these two approaches is that of the starting point.
Our goal is to identify manifold-like objects inside a category of smooth spaces.
This is an equivalence class of neighbourhoods of the diagonal.
Definition Let 𝒞 be a model category and X∈𝒞 an object.
This is called a good path object if in addition Path(X)→X×X is a fibration.
where Cyl(X)→X is a weak equivalence.
This is called a good cylinder object if in addition X⊔X→Cyl(X) is a cofibration.
But in some situations one is genuinely interested in using non-good such objects.
Let f,g:X⟶Y be two parallel morphisms in a model category.

where on the right we have the chosen path space object.
Now the composite η˜≔h∘i 1 is a right homotopy as required.
See the references at model category.

The symmetrized trace proposal has become widely accepted.

We can generalise further to multiary functions, or functions of several variables.
The possible definitions depend on foundations; for us, the simplest is probably this:
We write f(x,y) for f((x,y)).
Again, we write f(x,y) for f((x,y)).
The link is provided by the binary version of a partial function:
This is called a curried representation.
One can give a similar comparison of material and structural versions of this definition.
In addition, this definition is usually the one used in type theory.
More generally, we can consider any monoidal category.
Similarly, the curried definition makes sense internal to any closed category.
A binary function to the set of truth values is a binary relation.
(This is already the most interesting case in applications in physics.)

Other cases, have to be examined individually.

This is sometimes called a UV completion of the given effective theory.

We will construct that 𝒵 Λ in terms of these projections p ρ.
First consider some convenient shorthand: For n∈ℕ, write 𝒵 ≤n≔∑1∈{1,⋯,n}1n!Z n.
We proceed by induction over n∈ℕ.
This means that Z n+1,Λ is supported on the diagonal, and is hence local.
Second we need to show that limΛ→∞K n+1,Λ=0:
Inserting this for the first summand in (6) shows that limΛ→∞K n+1,Λ=0.
That this is the case is the statement of this prop..

Bishop's style was extended to constructive algebra by his disciple Fred Richman.
However, neither of these statements is really true.
First of all, Bishop accepted the principle of countable choice.
(Regarding countable choice see also Richman.)
(See Bishop set.)
Bishop: “choice is implied by the very meaning of existence”.
(Other possible formalizations of Bishop’s mathematics use Feferman’s explicit mathematics or NuPrl.
In particular, since this is true for ℕ, countable choice holds.
Semantically, this can be described as working in a first-order hyperdoctrine.
However, there is some confusion about this definition diagnosed by Waaldijk.
There is a similar problem with the notion of locally compact space.
In particular, see localic completion and the references below.
This approach is pushed even further in continuous truth.
These are not unlike Bishop’s basic “operations”.

Class theories are usually formulated in the language of logic over type theory.
It is instead a defined notion from the primitive notion of class.
Thus, we have (x∪ iy)(c)=(x⊗y)(Δ i(c)).
A superspacetime is then a supermanifold locally modeled on super Minkowski spacetime.
This is what is mostly called “superspace” in the physics literature.
(These are controled by the Fano plane, shown on the right.)
In physics this is called the Majorana spinor construction.
This we discuss in Real spinors as Majorana spinors
This we discuss in Real spinors via Real alternative division algebras.

We write sLieAlg for the resulting category of super Lie algebras.
These may be called the “abelian” super Lie algebras.
We now make explicit structure involved in super-extensions of Lie algebras:
This yields the claimed structure.
This is exactly the claimed 𝔤-equivariance of the pairing.
These we introduce and discuss now in Real spin representations.
These are the standard supersymmetry algebras in the physics literature.
Hence we get an “exotic” super-extension of the Poincaré Lie algebra.
One may appeal to the Haag-Łopuszański-Sohnius theorem.

This is the canonical action of the Lorentzian special orthogonal Lie algebra 𝔰𝔬(d−1,1).

This kernel reflects the ambiguity from remark .
We are interested in spin representations on real vector spaces.
All vector spaces in the following are taken to be finite dimensional vector spaces.
Let V be a complex vector space.
The basic such are called the Dirac representations.
These representations are called the Dirac representations, their elements are called Dirac spinors.
Then a Clifford representation in dimension d=2ν+1 is given by taking
Let a,b∈{1,⋯,d−1} be spacelike and distinct indices.
This is called the chirality operator.
These V ± are called the two Weyl representations of Spin(d−1,1).
This operation is called Dirac conjugation.
Either C (±) is called the charge conjugation matrix.
, see van Proeyen 99, table 1, Laenen, table E.3).
Proposition For d∈{4,8,9,10,11}, let V=ℂ ν as above.
First let a,b both be spatial.
That global sign cancels since we pass through two Gamma matrices.
This is called the Majorana representation inside the Dirac representation (if it exists).
This is same kind of computation as in the proof prop. .
Finally the last statement follows from this by prop. .
Of course we may combine the condition Majorana and Weyl conditions on spinors:
Hence the even dimensions among these are d∈{4,8,10}.
It follows that J commutes with Γ d precisely if it commutes with ϵ.
This is the case for d=10=2⋅5, but not for d=8=2⋅4 neither for d=4=2⋅2.
This is the super Poincaré Lie algebra, to which we come below.
The equivariance follows exactly as in the proof of prop. .
so this sign cancels against the sign in i *=−i.
The equivariance follows as in the proof of prop. .
By prop. the Dirac representation in d=11 has complex dimension 2 10/2=2 5=32.
This representation often just called “32”.
This is the local model space for super spacetimes in 11-dimensional supergravity.
Hence as real/Majorana Spin(9,1)-representations there is a direct sum decomposition 32≃16⊕16¯.
Notice that this is Majorana-Weyl.
This is the case by prop. .
The other two cases are directly analogous.
(Here and in the following we are using the nation from remark .)
We follow the streamlined discussion in Baez-Huerta 09 and Baez-Huerta 10.
This operation makes 𝕂 into a star algebra.

This happens in the proof of prop. below.

In the literature, two different definitions of connections on a cubical set are considered.

As a positive type When presented positively, primacy is given to the constructors.
Of course, this is the same as the constructor obtained from the negative presentation.
However, the eliminator is different.

This entry is about resolutions in the sense of homotopy theory.
For resolutions of singularities see at resolution of singularities.
This includes fibration categories/cofibration categories and notably model categories.
Notice that the factorization axioms of a model category ensure that such resolutions always exist.
For cofibrant resolutions a Waldhausen category does the job, etc.
In the context of cofibration categories, the term used is fibrant model.
(One also finds the term fibrant replacement used.)
These are fibrant and cofibrant resolutions in the suitable model structure on chain complexes.
There are further generalizations like unbounded resolutions etc.

The dual notion is that of dependent product.

By contrast, double categories are based on cubes instead.

It is also equivalent to the category of (strict) double groupoids with connections.
The functor comp gives us an operation of horizontal composition on 2-cells.
The construction in the last axiom is the horizontal composite θ∘η:h∘f→i∘g.

This is to be contrasted with a weak 2-category called a bicategory.
Indeed, horizontal composition is often called the Godement product.
A few years after that, Bénabou introduced the notion of bicategory.

The connection between the two pictures is then given by ⟨A⋅U(t)⟩ ψ=⟨A⟩ U(t)*ψ.
However, this is unnecessary for the connection between the two pictures.
In contrast, the Schrödinger picture cannot be so treated.
Thus the Schrödinger picture exists but is frame dependent.
The attempt to pretend it did leads to the problems mentioned in Dirac’s paper.

The tensor product ⊗ behaves like the ordinary product of relations.
We record a few consequences of this notion.
The other triangular equation uses the dual Frobenius equation.
In this way, a bicategory of relations becomes a †-compact Pos-enriched category.
So f preserves comultiplication strictly.
A similar argument shows f preserves the counit strictly.
The proof is much more perspicuous if we use string diagrams.
But the key steps are given in two strings of equalities and inequalities.
The first gives a counit for f⊣f op, and the second gives a unit.
Bicategories of relations B satisfy a Beck-Chevalley condition, as follows.
According to the results at free cartesian category, Prod(B 0) is finitely complete.

Existential quantification is interpreted by precomposing with right adjoints π(f) *.

This Lie bracket is what controls dynamics in classical mechanics.
Something to take notice of here is the infinitesimal nature of the Poisson bracket.
There may be different global Lie group objects with the same Lie algebra.
From here the story continues.
It is called the story of geometric quantization.
We close this motivation section here by some brief outlook.
These are the actual wavefunctions of quantum mechanics, hence the quantum states.
The concept of quantization is induced by this local phase space-structure.
(Other choices are possible, notably θ=pdq).
These are also called the leaves of a real polarization of the phase space.
This establishes a linear isomorphism between polarized smooth functions and wave functions.
Hence under the identification (5) we have q^ψ=qψAAAAp^ψ=i∂∂qψ.
This is called the Schrödinger representation of the canonical commutation relation (6).
With this the statement follows by example .
(extending quantization beyond regular polynomial observables)
But in general it is necessary to consider also non-linear polynomial local observables.
We discuss this in detail in the chapter Free quantum fields.
This we discuss in the chapters Scattering and Quantum observables.
This concludes our discussion of some basic concepts of quantization.
There is good motivation for sheaves, cohomology and higher stacks.
Let Set be the category of sets.
Geometric embeddings x:Sh(*)→←Sh(C) are called points of Sh(C).

Lambda takes an antivariable and a term that may use the corresponding variable.
This turns an antivariable x introduced by lambda into the term x. A:T×T→T.
This takes f and g and produces f(g).

Let C=ℤMod≃ Ab be the abelian category of abelian groups.
This follows for instance using Baer's criterion, prop. .
The additive group underlying any vector space is injective.
The quotient of any injective group by any other group is injective.
Not injective in Ab is for instance the cyclic group ℤ/nℤ for n>1.
Also one can define various notions of internally injective objects.
The functor [−,I]:ℰ op→ℰ maps monomorphisms in ℰ to epimorphisms.
Details are in (Harting, Theorem 1.1).
Proposition Let ℰ be the topos of sheaves over a locale.
Conversely, let I be an internally injective object.
We want to show that there exists an extension Y→I of k along m.
To this end, consider the sheaf F≔{k′:ℋom(Y,I)|k′∘m=k}.
Condition 1. then refers to the functor [−,X]:Ab(ℰ) op→Ab(ℰ).
In the above two cases, this refers to injectivity with respect to monomorphisms.
(Such spaces are usually called, perhaps confusingly, injective spaces.)
With this the statement follows via adjunction isomorphism Hom 𝒜(−,R(I))≃Hom ℬ(L(−),I).
Let 𝒞, 𝒟 be categories and L⊣R:𝒟→𝒞 be an adjunction.
If L maps monos to monos, then R maps injectives to injectives.
Accordingly it embeds into a quotient A˜ of a direct sum of copies of ℚ.
Then if ℬ has enough injectives, also 𝒜 has enough injectives.
The first point is the statement of lemma .
In particular if the axiom of choice holds, then RMod has enough injectives.
Since it has a left adjoint, it is exact.
Thus the statement follows via lemma from prop. .

This is smooth (see smooth maps of mapping spaces?).
Providing M has enough diffeomorphisms, this is the projection of a fibre bundle.
The remark about “enough diffeomorphisms” is the key to proving this.
So we need to drag the rest of β along with β(p).

A flag is complete if dimV i=i for each i∈{0,…,n}.

For p=2 the first is the Klein 4-group.
This is equivalently the cyclic group ℤ/p 1p 2ℤ≃ℤ/p 1ℤ⊕ℤ/p 2ℤ.
The isomorphism is given by sending 1 to (p 2,p 1).
The latter is the cyclic group of order p 1 2p 2.
The corresponding p-primary group is ⨁i=1qℤ/p k iℤ.

Here we first introduce stepwise the ingredients that go into the proof.
, define a group G× cA∈Grp as follows.
Hence G× cA is indeed a group.
Assume the axiom of choice in the ambient foundations.
indeed yields a 2-cocycle in group cohomology.
Here it is sufficient to observe that for every term also the inverse term appears.
Let [c]∈H Grp 2(G,A).
This shows that Extr∘Rec=id and in particular that Rec is a surjection.
But the ordinary kernel of B(A→G^)→B(A→1)=B 2A is manifestly BG^, and so on.
Hence we may speak of symmetric group cohomology classes in degree 2.
This is sometimes called Schreier’s theory of nonabelian group extensions.
In fact ϕ:G→Inn(G)⊂Aut(K) is a homomorphism of groups.
Thus we obtain a well-defined map ϕ *:G/K→Aut(K)/Int(K).
Unlike ϕ, the map ψ is not a homomorphism of groups.
We attempt to reconstruct G from the knowledge of ψ and K.
By means of that bijection, B×K inherits the group structure from G.
Let us figure out the multiplication rule on B×K.
This formula clearly defines a function χ:B×B→K.
Thus we obtain the relation (5)ψ(a)ψ(b)=ψ(ab)Ad K(χ(a,b))
Let B and K be two groups.
Then K is a right B-module through ψ(−) −1.
This was useful to find the cocycle condition correctly.
Now the general associativity should be a similar calculation with general elements.
Using (4) and (5) it can be done.
We define the set-theoretic maps σ′,χ′ and ψ′ as follows.
The last line is true by (4).
The map σ:B→G, B∋b↦(1 K,b)∈K×B, splits the sequence.
An extension (1) is Abelian iff K is Abelian.
We say that the extension (1) is Abelian iff G is Abelian.
We know that ϵ| K:i(k)↦ϵi′(k), for all k∈K.
By (5) these maps are actually homomorphisms (unlike e.g.ψ).
Let us choose some h so that Ad K∘h is interpretable as a genuine composition.
Two elements of K generate the same automorphism iff they differ by a central element.
Choose two different h′,h:B×B→K such that Ad K(h′)=Ad K(h).
Any f:B×B→Z(K) such that h′=hf will not change the inner automorphism.
Thus any central 3-coboundary df can be obtained by changing a choice of h.

An isomorphism is an invertible morphism, hence a morphism with an inverse morphism.
But beware that two objects may be isomorphic by more than one isomorphism.
Frequently the particular choice of isomorphism matters.
We must so understand it.
And let us not forget that these exceptions are pernicious, for they conceal laws.
The physicists also do it just the same way.
Today we would say that they were looking right in the face of isomorphic groups.
An automorphism is an isomorphism from one object to itself.
It is immediate that isomorphisms satisfy the two-out-of-three property.
Thus, being isomorphic is an equivalence relation on objects.
The equivalence classes form the fundamental 0-groupoid of the category in question.
A groupoid is precisely a category in which every morphism is an isomorphism.
Therefore, for any a,b:A the type a≅b is a set.
Every morphism in a groupoid is an isomorphism.
Idea A scheme is reduced if it has no “purely infinitesimal directions”.
Its reduction is the point itself.

For QFTs on curved spacetimes the situation is more subtle.

What is a particle?
(“That’s why it’s called ‘field theory’.”)
In this case the QFT describes fields on spacetime.
The concept of field here is fundamental, that of particle quanta is not.
Their superpartners look like fermion fields.
A state in here encodes the field of gravity.
This hence may be thought of as a first-quantized particle.
Here are some sample theorems which follow from the Gleason-Yamabe theorem.

Monoidal (∞,1)-categories form an (∞,2)-category, Mon(∞,1)Cat.
There are various ways to state the monoidal structure.
One is in terms of fibrations over the simplex category.
This is the approach taken in Jacob Lurie, Noncommutative algebra (arXiv)
Another is in terms of (∞,1)-operads (see there).
This approach has been taken in (Francis).
Alternatively, one can read pages 5 and 6 of LurieNonCom cited below.
In any case, this motivates the following definition.
Here Δ is the simplex category and N(Δ) its nerve.
Let 𝒪 ⊗ be an (∞,1)-operad.
This is (Lurie, def. 2.1.2.13).
For 𝒪 = Comm, an 𝒪-monoidal (∞,1)-category is a symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-category.
The second statement is example 2.3.8 in EnAction.

Algebraic number theory studies algebraic numbers, number fields and related algebraic structures.
An algebraic integer is a root of a monic polynomial with integer coefficients.
Usually one considers algebraic number fields over rational numbers.
A subtopos is dense if it contains the initial object ∅ of the ambient topos.
Let i:ℰ j↪ℰ be a subtopos with corresponding Lawvere-Tierney topology j.
∅ is a j-sheaf.
A topology j satisfying these conditions is also called dense.
Another way to say this is that ∅ is preserved by i *.
An even more comprehensive list can be found in (Caramello 2012, p.9).
Of course, the composition k∘j of dense inclusions j,k is again dense.
When j is dense, then i and k are dense as well.
In other words, the intersection of two dense subtoposes is still dense!
For any topos ℰ, its double negation topology gives the smallest dense subtopos.
Proposition Sh ¬¬(ℰ)↪ℰ is the smallest dense subtopos.
In fact, dense topologies are characterized by their relation to ¬¬:
Here the first inclusion exhibits a dense subtopos and the second a closed subtopos.
The above terminology suggests to view a dense subtopos as one with an empty exterior.
Let’s have a look at some of the details:
Then ℰ is connected as well.
In fact they are Boolean precisely when M is a group.
Hence the j-closure ext(j) of ∅↣1 is either ∅ or 1.
Notice that this applies e.g. to well-pointed toposes.
In particular, this applies to ∅↣1, since 1 is always a sheaf.
Whence ∅ is a j-sheaf and we see that persistent localizations are dense.
This includes e.g. ‘quintessential localizations’ aka quality types.
This observation is due to Johnstone (1996).
Then level n+1 is the Aufhebung of n starting from ∅⊣* at level 0.
A space is sequentially Cauchy-complete if every Cauchy sequence converges.
A space is topologically complete if its underlying topological space is completely metrizable.

A compact space is necessarily complete.
A space is called precompact if its completion is compact.
Every complete metric space is a Baire space.
See MathOverflow here for some examples.
Accordingly, this becomes the notion of Cauchy-complete category.

A logarithm is a local section of an exponential map.
Suppose c is a complex number.
As exp′=exp, we find that (exp(x)exp(c−x))′=exp(x)exp(c−x)+exp(x)(−exp(c−x))=0.
The initial condition exp(0)=1 then yields exp(x)exp(c−x)=exp(c).
The result follows by setting c=x+y.”

Similarly one has for all X that C(X,*)=*.
So we reduce the situation to that case.
This is possible because both A and B are assumed to be fibrant.
Therefore this is also a weak equivalence.

This is especially true if we want to add additional structure to our (∞,1)-categories.
Thus, there may be an ∞-extensionality axiom to be added.
Disjoint sum types may be expected to correspond to coproducts in an (∞,1)-category.

Predicative mathematics is a way of doing mathematics without allowing impredicative definitions.
The common ground is that both schools reject power sets; other axioms may vary.
Such mathematics may be called weakly predicative.
One sometimes speaks of forbidding function sets instead of power sets.
The converse holds if there is a set Ω of truth values.
So the classical school of predicativism rejects function sets.
In this school, the sequence above is fine.
Classical predicativists of course accept excluded middle; otherwise they would be constructivists.
Some classical predicativists accept choice operators.
This includes dependent type theories which include choice operators but reject dependent function types.
This is common in type theoretic models of constructive mathematics.
Categorially, we may see these as initial algebras of certain functors on Set.

Let 𝒜,𝒜′ be two abelian categories, for instance 𝒜=RMod and 𝒜′=R′Mod.
Proof If 0→A→B→C is exact then A↪B is a monomorphism.
Now we can state the main two definitions of this section.
Then for all X∈𝒜 there is a natural isomorphism R 0F(X)≃F(X).
We discuss the first statement, the second is formally dual.
But this means that R 0F(X)≔ker(F(X 0)→F(X 1))≃F(X).
By prop. we can choose f • and h •.

By connectedness of X, this epi factors through one of the summands, say U.
Of course U is not initial; otherwise Y would be initial.
It need not be the case that products of connected objects are connected.
We do have the following partial result, generalizing the case of Top.
Suppose C is a cocomplete ∞-extensive category with finite products.
Then a product of finitely many connected objects is itself connected.
In the first place, 1 is connected.
The two coproduct inclusions U→U+U are distinct by disjointness of sums.
Since 1 is a separator, there must be a map 1→U separating these inclusions.
We then conclude U≅1, and then V≅0 by disjointness of sums.
Now let X and Y be connected.
It follows that the codomain X×Y of ϕ is also connected.

A natural isomorphism is the “correct” notion of isomorphism between functors.
However, sometimes one encounters functors that are “pointwise isomorphic” but not naturally.
This intuition is in tune with conceiving of naturality as generalized commutatitivity.
Let F,G:C→D be functors.
For instance, this seems to be the meaning in Section 1.1 of Strickland.
We touch on this again below, but see here.
Intuitively, there are several reasons that an isomorphism might fail to be natural.
In defining an isomorphism, it may be necessary to make certain arbitrary choices.
Making the unnatural natural
There are several ways to do this:
See for instance this Wikipedia discussion on axioms for triangulated categories.
The use of adjectives like canonical, invariant, functorial, natural is sometimes satirized.
See non-canonical isomorphism for examples of natural isomorphisms that are not canonical.
In particular, these functors do not form an equivalence of categories.
A similar phenomenon occurs with groups and heaps, and with torsors of groups.
But, there is no canonical choice of ordering L.
Species are functors for which unnatural isomorphisms are sometimes discussed.
More generally, unnatural transformations also often occur in homological algebra.

Write 0 for the tree consisting of a single edge.
Let Ω/0 be the over category.
By general properties of Kan extension we have the following
This appears as (Moerdijk-Weiss, prop. 5.3).
This extends to a functor N d:Operad→dSet.
See for instance (Moerdijk-Weiss, section 4).
This is compatible with the Boardman-Vogt tensor product as defined above:
This appears as (Moerdijk-Weiss, prop. 5.2).
This extends to a functor hcN d:Operad sSet→dSet.
The category dSet carries the Cisinski-Moerdijk model structure on dendroidal sets.
With this model structure it forms a monoidal model category.
The ring of rational polynomials ℝ(X) is a real reciprocal algebra.
There exists a reciprocal algebra with nonzero zero divisors.
In ZFC Suppose V is a model of ZFC.
First, if X is a transitive set, then so is P(X).
We have thus shown A⊂P(X).
That each R(α) is transitive now follows by an easy induction.
We define the rank of x to be that α.
Each ordinal α has rank α.
All sets in the cumulative hierarchy lie somewhere within the V.
The relation x∈y can then be interpreted as s(x)≤y.
One motivation for this notion is given by the following theorem:
This is the celebrated Robertson-Seymour Graph Minor Theorem.
It generalizes the notion of 1-anafunctor.
This is an ∞-anafunctor, generalizing the notion of anafunctor.
This is formalized in the following definition: (…)
Here X^→X is essentially the hypercover on which the cocycle is defined.
The generalization of this statement to ∞-anafunctors is given in (BlohmannZhu).
Rather, one has a third space with morphisms to each of the two spaces.
Of course, not just any third space will do.
The topological set up is as follows.
We find a third space, Z, which has morphisms to both X and Y.
We usually write this in the following way: Z → X ↓ Y
This setup induces transgression to mapping spaces in the following.
Now we apply the generalised cohomology theory to this diagram.
As it is a cohomology theory, the arrows reverse.
However, under certain special circumstances, cohomology theories admit push-forward maps.
This is described at fiber integration and Pontrjagin-Thom collapse map.
See for instance section 9 of (Borel).
For more on this see Chern-Simons element.
(We use the smash product as we are working with based spaces here.)
We therefore have the diagram: S 1×LM → M ↓ LM
In this case, that is differential forms.
In this case we are in the happy circumstance that the lift exists.
Expressed purely in terms of differential forms, the formula doesn’t change.
This can make the integration step clearer.
To reformulate transgression thus we need to understand tangent vectors on LM.
However, that’s not all we need.
This is the vector field which assigns to γ∈LM the tangent vector γ′∈LTM.
Hence, by varying t∈S 1, it defines a function S 1→ℝ.
Thus we have a map ⨂ k−1T(LM)→ℝ.
Then contracting with S 1 via ∫ S 1, only the second term survives.
There is much more to tell in this particular story.
This makes crucial use of the nPOV notion of cohomology, as described there.
Let H= Top ≃ ∞Grpd.
This plays a role in the quantization process that yields FQFTs.
For an application see Dijkgraaf-Witten theory.
To the best of my knowledge, this remark is attributable to Ralph Cohen.
The existence of such an entity (due to Peano) came as a surprise.
These are called Peano spaces.
These are sometimes called σ-Peano spaces.
This is the statement of topological invariance of dimension.
Surjectivity follows from the fact that its restriction g:C→I×I is surjective.
The eponymous theorem may be stated as follows:
(N.B. According to the nLab, connected spaces are nonempty!)
A space X satisfying the stated conditions is called a Peano space.
An example of such a space is the Warsaw circle.
Originally published by Addison-Wesley, 1970.
Dialgebras subsume the notion of algebras for an endofunctor and coalgebras for an endofunctor.
Universal dialgebras were originally introduced by Lambek as “subequalizers”.
Initial dialgebras provide categorical semantics for inductive-inductive types.
A dialgebraic account of labeled transition systems is in
The direct summands are the Brown-Peterson spectra.
As a representation of real numbers, this is almost unique.
In this case, the sequence with 0s is generally considered standard.
In classical mathematics, every nonnegative real number may be represented in this way.
The number 0 is represented only by a sequence of all 0s.
; this is called tally notation.
Is 0.999… = 1?.
This terminology is jargon and has not been formalized.
By default linear logic has a wealth of conjunctions.
Paul Redding is a philosopher who studies Continental idealist philosophy.
Currently, only lambda adds a scope delimiter.
The current algorithm puts projections in the outermost scope it can get away with.
This approach will not work when adding additive connectives.
Set theoretically speaking: (Γ↦Γ′)U≔U∪(Γ′∖Γ).
“Δ” and variants are used as metavariables for contexts without any delimiters.
Γ′ includes all the entries of Γ, in the same scopes.
U′⊆(Γ↦Γ′)U Note that the context grows while the usage shrinks.
There are generator morphisms, which can be used any number of times.
f∈𝒢(A;B→) means you can get f:A⊸B→ whenever you want.
Functions take exactly one argument, and have one or more results.
Semantically, the results are tensored (⊗) together.
Following Shulman, multiple results are accessed using “generalized Sweedler notation”.
Using both results is a single use of linear implication elimination.
This is actually the only way to use tensor projections, currently.
When done checking, there’s generally more stuff in it.
Currently, that would only be tensor projections.
In any case, everything in the new scope must’ve been consumed.
That’s the nice application rule, for when there’s one result.
u is the label metavariable.
This labeling idea is from Shulman.
See there for a discussion of the problem.
The premise U d∩Δ≠∅ implies that U d is nonempty.
Meanwhile, the other rule checks that the same computed usage is empty.
Otherwise it’s the outermost scope.
(The analogous concept in homological algebra is called a quasi-isomorphism.)
Weak homotopy equivalences are named after homotopy equivalences.
The corresponding notions in homological algebra are quasi-isomorphisms and chain homotopy-equivalences.
The former is usually defined in terms of the latter.
It is not enough to require that each pair of homotopy groups are isomorphic.
And by the properties of covering spaces, all higher homotopy groups are isomorphic.
But these two are not weakly homotopy equivalent.
There are many alternative definitions of weak homotopy equivalences.
The homotopy category of Top with respect to weak homotopy equivalences is Ho(Top) whe.
See also around (Lurie, prop. 6.5.2.1).
The relevant arguments are spelled out in (May, section 9.6).
A variant is called the HELP lemma in (Vogt).
Reflexivity and transitivity are trivially checked.
A counterexample to symmetry is example below.
But we can consider the genuine equivalence relation generated by weak homotopy equivalence:
This collection of data is called the Postnikov tower decomposition of a homotopy type.
A different direction of generalization is the notion of a homotopy equivalence of toposes.
Let S 1∈ Top denote the ordinary circle and 𝕊 the pseudocircle.
Write Ω 0(R/k):=R≃HH 0(R,R).
The HKR-theorem generalizes this to higher degrees.
See this MO post for details.
Again, this works under a certain smoothness property:
This is due to (McCarthy-Manasian 03).
This article concerns the notion of “local field” in commutative algebra.
This appears as HTT, def. 5.4.1.3, prop. 5.4.1.2.
The following are equivalent: C is κ-small.
C is a κ-compact object in (∞,1)Cat.
This is HTT, prop. 5.4.1.2
The analogous statement holds for ∞-groupoids.
For X an ∞-groupoid and κ an uncountable regular cardinal, the following are equivalent
X is presented by a κ-small simplicial set/Kan complex.
X is a κ-compact object in ∞Grpd.
This is (HTT, corollary 5.4.1.5).
Notice that this proposition really requires that κ be uncountable.

A trace on a von Neumann algebra is a special type of a weight.
An ionad is bounded if the comonad is accessible.

I need to figure out exactly what this last clause means.
Any ordinary Waldhausen category is a Waldhausen (infinity,1)-category.
See (Barwick 12, Example 2.12).
Any stable (infinity,1)-category has a canonical Waldhausen structure.
See (Barwick 12, Example 2.11).
Then one continues proof and finally arrives at a new theorem not containing b.
Like Set is the canonical base topos, so Rel is the archetypical meros.
Following Kawahara 1995, we define an auxiliary venue for meroi first.
We next highlight specific morphisms within I-categories.
A partial function f:A→B (Def. )
is a total function, or function, when id A⊑f †∘f.
We also need the Dedekind formula, which relates any three morphisms between three objects.
We are now ready to define meroi.
Every relation is rational (in the sense of Def. ).
The Dedekind formula (1) holds whenever possible.
There is a terminal object (in the sense of Def. ).
All quotients (in the sense of Def. ) exist.
For all α,A→B we have 0∘α=α∘0=0.
Let (V,∇) and (V′,∇′) be two complex vector bundles with connection.

For the discussion of ring spectra we pass to symmetric spectra and orthogonal spectra.
(These overlap, pick the one that seems more inviting on first reading.)
In a PCM, we define: x≤y:⇔∃ z.x∨z=y.
This is a preorder on any PCM.
Reflexivity is immediate from the Zero axiom, and transitivity follows easily from Associativity.
A generalized effect algebra is partially ordered by ≤.
Let x∨a=y and y∨b=x.
Then x∨(a∨b)=x=x∨0, and so a∨b=0 by the Cancellation Law.
Therefore, a=b=0 and so x=y.
An effect algebra is a PCM (E,0,∨) with an orthocomplement.
The latter is a unary operation (−) ⊥:E→E satisfying: Orthocomplement Law.
Then E is a generalized effect algebra since: Cancellation Law.
Define x ⊥=1⊖x for all x. Then: Orthocomplement Law.
x ⊥ is the unique element such that x∨x ⊥=1 by definition.
Let E and F be effect algebras.
We write EA for the category of effect algebras and morphisms of effect algebras.
The orthocomplement of x∈[0,1] is given by x ⊥=1−x.
Hence p(x) can be written as p(x)=φ(x)k 1x+(1−φ(x))k 2x.
In particular p 1 and p 2 determine each other uniquely.
In general, this is not a lattice.
These first appeared in Kôpka 92 Chovanec-Kôpka 95.
Ultimately this determines an isomorphism of categories between D-posets and effect algebras.
Every Boolean algebra is an effect algebra, with a⊥b whenever a∧b=0.
The orthocomplement is a ⊥=¬a.
This means that every effect algebra is a canonical colimit of finite Boolean algebras.
This functor can be given explicitly as finding the tests of an effect algebra.
A test is a sequence of orthogonal elements that sum to 1.
We list some of these issues in the following.
See the last item below.
We leave these questions for future work.
(see also Evslin 06, Sec. 8.3)
The discussion there focuses on the untwisted case.

This page is about inverse images of sheaves and related subjects.
For the set-theoretic operation, see preimage.
Let now π:B→A be a local isomorphism in PSh(Y).
The proof of left-exactness requires more technology and work.

Hence presheaves canonically push forward f *:PSh(X)→PSh(Y)
The Kan extension computes the best possible approximation:
Compare this with the definition of germs at a stalk.
The smallest n for which this holds is called the height of the hypercover.
Consider the case that X=constX 0 is simplicially constant.
Then the conditions on a morphism Y→X to be a hypercover is as follows.
So the condition is that the vertical morphism is a local epi.
We say that U i→X is basal.
It is sufficient that all the U i→X are monomorphisms.
Examples include the standard open cover-topology on Top.
This is (Dugger-Hollander-Isaksen 02, theorem 8.6).
Let f:Y→X be a hypercover.
We may regard this as an object in the overcategory Sh(C)/X.
By the discussion here this is equivalently Sh(C/X).
This is an abelian category.
As such this has a normalized chain complex N •(f¯).
This is the central theorem in (Dugger-Hollander-Isaksen 02).
But historically it predates the above- theorem.
Locally compact locales are also exactly the exponentiable objects in the category of locales.

Unsurprisingly, cliques provide a useful technical device for describing strictifications of monoidal categories.
If we know a graph, we can compute the cliques of this graph.
A line integral is an integral along a curve.
In particular, we interpret dr→ as meaning r→′(t)dt.
But this suggests that we should really be looking at differential forms.
Understanding this, we wish to generalise X to any (pseudo)-Riemannian manifold.
Since ds is positive, we can reasonably call it the principal square root of g.
In any case, a line integral along a lightlike curve is zero.
In particular, dz is interpreted as z′(t)dt.
But again, we should really be looking at differential forms.
Then dz is a 1-form, and fdz is a 1-form.
Of course, we should really be looking at differential forms.
Again z is the identity map on ℂ, viewed as a 0-form.

Let A be an arbitrary abelian group.
Moreover, this sequence splits (non-canonically).

and we claim that this is already isomorphic to the one stated in the lemma.
This is manifestly true for the two terms on the right.
By the existence of the retract s this has itself a retract.
Moreover it factors as g′:A 2/im(f)→im(g)/im(g∘f)↪A 3/im(g∘f).
Therefore this sequence exhibits a projective resolution of the group H n.

For example, this works very well for duality theorems about manifolds.
We may ask the following question.
Take all those theorems about ordinary homology which are standard results in every day use.
Which are the ones which still lack a fully satisfactory generalisation to generalised homology theories?

In Ada69, Adams works in a very general setting.
We do not assume that F is itself a ring spectrum.
There are two statements that one would like to hold.
The statements are the following.
We use the notation DX for the Spanier-Whitehead dual of X.
We thus get the following statements.
The key question is, thus: when do these statements hold?
Adams gives some answers in Ada69.
These assumptions are designed to allow Atiyah’s method (from Ati62) to work.

We use E *(−) for the associated homology theory.
Following Boa95 and BJW95, cohomology and homology are not reduced in this section.
The next result relates homology and cohomology.
In particular, E *(X) is complete Hausdorff.

They generalize quivers (directed graphs), which describe generators of ordinary (1-)categories.
Each type of higher-categorical structure comes with its own notion of computad.
Adjointness is easy to verify using the universal properties of pullbacks and pushouts.
Thus a 1-computad is just a quiver.
These play the role of 2 n and ∂ n above.
We leave the details to the reader.
Moreover, the problem can also be avoided if P is “suitably weak.”
To define what this means, one considers the “slices” of the operad P.
Quite generally, computads can be used to describe cofibrant replacements.

So we might be inclined to apply cohomological quantization to this.
This turns out to be the case, indeed.
Its moduli stack of fields is the symplectic groupoid 2dCSFields(X,π).

This is HTT, prop. 2.1.1.3.
A canonical class of examples of a fibered category is the codomain fibration.
This is actually a bifibration.
For an ordinary category, a bifiber of this is just a set.

Hence fixing only one fiber of the bifibration should yield a fibration in ∞-groupoids.

(The following clearly works more generally, too.)
We will need the following pushout-construction of such left-induced actions:
This shows that the pseudofunctor is relative.

To see relative-ness:
This last argument occupies the remainder of the proof:
This concludes the proof that also f ! preserves weak equivalences.
Also in many cases, direct sums will be the same as coproducts.
But here we will not restrict ourselves to the context of such a concrete category.
Let 𝒞 be a category with products and coproducts, as well as zero morphisms.
We now define both the direct sum and weak direct product of this family.
The A i will be called the direct summands or (weak) direct factors.
But the usual examples of 𝒞 are not (constructively) so enriched.
Fortunately, the usual examples of I have decidable equality.
See direct sum of Banach spaces.
Given an object B and a family of subobjects?
Then we say that B is the internal direct sum of the A i.
This worldline formalism is equivalent to the traditional formulation.

However, some references, such as the Elephant, make the opposite choice.
One or two references use “left lax” and “right lax” instead.
How consistent are different authors in this convention?
Should we include a warning —or for that matter, a reassurance? —
The one above is Leinster’s.
I haven’t seen any of the other references.
OK, I just checked the Elephant, and it is reverse.
It’s also the one originally used by Benabou.
And the acronymic derivation of the word icon depends on using this convention.
I also think there is a very good reason to use that convention.
For example, the direction for monoidal natural transformations is the reverse of Bénabou’s.
For instance you can describe oplax naturals as being oplax morphisms somewhere or other.
What does it stand for, again?)
Ross summarized his feelings by emphasizing the wisdom of being flexible in these matters.

The concept of free spectrum is a generalization of that of suspension spectrum.
This is called the free structured spectrum-functor.
The second follows from similar yoga, see the formula at Day convolution – Modules.
Explicitly, the free spectra according to def. , look as follows:
To this end, first consider the following general existence statement.
With this the statement follows by the Yoneda lemma.
Now we say explicitly what these maps are:
Consider the case Dia=Seq and n=0.
All other cases work analogously.
It remains to see that this is the (Σ⊣Ω)-adjunct of σ 0 X.
and this immediately gives that λ n is an isomorphism on stable homotopy groups.
Hence its smash product with S q is (2q−n−1)-connected.
The key here is the fast growth of the connectivity with q.
Hence Σ nλ n is a stable weak homotopy equivalence and therefore so is λ n.
Since this is natural in Z, the Yoneda lemma implies the claim.
To that end we need the following little preliminary.
are stable equivalences according to def. .
We need to in addition resolve them by suitable cofibrations:
With this the statement follows by the proof of this theorem.
Therefore the fiber F of f is its homotopy fiber in the strict model structure.
Then let E be any Omega-spectrum.
We are to conclude that hence F→* is a stable equivalence.
Therefore lemma implies that p is a strict acyclic fibration.
follows from lemma and the small object argument.
We break up this statement below as prop. and prop. .
The functor R ∞ from def. has the following properties.
Let E be an Omega-spectrum.
This naturality now implies a retraction of morphisms i
This means by definition that f is a stable equivalence.
This implies that so are their pushout products k n□i.
This completes the proof of theorem .
We give the proof below, after a few preliminaries.
By lemma the stable fibrations are equivalently the K-injective morphisms.
Therefore the statement follows with prop. .
Lemma Let Y∈𝕊 diaMod stable be cofibrant.
That follows with a laborious argument using the above lemmas (…).

It is clear that this continuous function is a bijection.
So let O be an subset in the quotient space which is open.

We discuss properties of the direct sum of vector bundles for topological vector bundles.
Hence this is an injection of E into a trivial vector bundle.
With this the statement follows by prop. .
This result is apparently due to Steenrod, see Theorem 11.4 in Steenrod.

Let X be a paracompact Hausdorff space.

Let E′≔E/∼ be the corresponding quotient topological space.
Hence it only remains to see that E′⟶p′X/A is a vector bundle.
The fiberwise linearity is clear, we need to show that it is locally trivializable.
But such a U does indeed exist by lemma .
This says that q * is surjective.
Finally, it is clear that it is injective.

A twin is a pair in which both components are the same.

Idea A notion of internal ∞-groupoid is a vertical categorification of internal groupoid.
This is described below in the section ∞-groupoids internal to an (∞,1)-category.
Notably one may wish to speak of ∞-groupoids internal to an ordinary category.
These may be straightforwardly internalized in any ordinary category with pullbacks.
This is discussed in Internal strict ∞-groupoids
The general case remains to be explored.
This is described in Internal horn filler condition, below.
In that case simplicial objects in C are simplicial sheaves.
This is described in Simplicial sheaves, below.
This is described in Comparison, below.
So the right notion of morphisms of internal ∞-groupoids are ∞-anafunctors.
See model structure on simplicial objects in a topos?.
For more general C not much is known.
The Kan complex definition of ∞-groupoid may be internalized to more general categories.
In particular, the morphism is a stalkwise epimorphism, hence an epimorphism of sheaves.
A classical example consists of the topological ∞-groupoids.
The nerve construction makes a topological ∞-groupoid from a topological groupoid.
This is actually a characterization of topological groupoids among topological categories.
This is relevant to the construction of the classifying spaces for continuous principal bundles.
Another classical example consists of the ∞-Lie groupoids.

The word bilimit is used in two unrelated senses: 2-categorical limits –
In the context of bicategory theory, bilimit is the relevant notion of categorical limit.
See there for more on this sense of the word.
It is common to speak of biproducts to mean categorical products that coincide with coproducts.
It is discussed in more detail at category of sheaves:
Systems of local isomorphisms on PSh(S) are equivalent to Grothendieck topologies on S.
The claim follows by the discussion at local epimorphism.
Local isomorphisms admit a left saturated calculus of fractions.
Recall that by assumption the components X× YU→U of this are local isomorphisms.
This is in section 16.2 of Kashiwara-Schapira, Categories and Sheaves .
Strict factorization systems were defined in: Marco Grandis.
It is a part of a grammar.

Coquasitriangularity is dual property to quasitriangularity.
Fibrantly resolve X in the other model structure in the same pair.
Compute Hom(Q1,RX), which is the homotopy totalization of X.
The latter category is a direct category, which makes cofibrancy conditions particularly easy.
Consider topological spaces with weak homotopy equivalences.
Below, we use the Serre model structure.
The topological simplex Δ:Δ→Top is Reedy cofibrant as a cosimplicial topological space.
However, we can pass to the semisimplicial setting, as explained above.
This can be seen as the totalization analog of the fat geometric realization.
One could call it the fat geometric totalization.
Contents Idea A vector is an element in a vector space.
The archetypical examples are tangent vectors.
Let M be a smooth finite dimensional manifold.
There are a variety of suitable categories listed at generalized smooth spaces.
We start with a smooth manifold, M, of dimension n.
Note that here manifolds definitely do not have a boundary.
For simplicity, we assume that it is orientable.
Let η:TM→M be a local addition on M.
Let V⊆M×M be the image of the map π×η:TM→M×M.
Lemma Let α∈LM.
Define the set U α⊆LM by: U α≔{β∈LM:(α,β)∈LV}.
It is an embedded submanifold of S 1×TM.
In particular, the map Γ S 1(α *TM)→LTM is injective.
Hence (π×η) L identifies L αTM with {α}×U α.
A smooth such trivialisation defines a linear homeomorphism Γ S 1(α *TM)≅Lℝ n.
To investigate the transition functions, we need two loops.
In fact, let’s have two of everything.
Let α 1, α 2 be smooth loops in M.
That is to say, if and only if (α 2,η 1 L(γ˜))∈LV 2.
This is precisely the condition that η 1 L(γ˜)∈U 2.
Let us define W 21⊆α 2 *TM similarly.
Hence θ 1 is well-defined.
Define θ 2:W 21→TM similarly.
These are both smooth maps.
Similarly we have a map ϕ 21:W 21→W 12.
These are both smooth since the composition with the inclusion into S 1×TM is smooth.
We just need to show that this is the transition function.
To do this, we show that Ψ 2ψ 12 L=Ψ 2Φ 12.
This construction easily generalises quite widely.
For more on the possible extensions, see the references.
The second diffeology is the one obtained from the functor F.
In particular, they have the same sets of smooth functions.
We say this in detail now.
But it doesn’t: the Q here is Q=*!
Why then did it work in Top?
Because, if you look closely, there really we did something different!
Under this identification, a topological space is not identified with a representable object!
But that’s really to be thought of as the topological fundamental ∞-groupoid of X.
For more on this, see the discussion at homotopy hypothesis.
This determines the geometric paths in a space.
These then are what the abstract definition of loop space object can see.

Discussion of G-structures on smooth loop spaces is in the following articles.
For which other algebraic categories is the same statement true?
or is it possibly true for the category of single-sorted algebraic theories?
Of course, it is non-trivial that this argument actually works.
G. Kukin, The variety of all rings has Higman’s property.
This entry contains one chapter of geometry of physics.
See there for background and context.
For them the theory of modules is the theory of linear algebra.
Therefore we generally speak here of modules over rings and their higher analogs.
Moreover there is a 0-state such that ψ+0=ψ for all ψ.
Quantum states have complex phases.
This linear structure is a crucial aspect of quanum theory.
It is at the heart of phenomena such quantum interference and entanglement
In macroscopic physics similar behaviour is known in wave mechanics for freely propagating waves.
Not unrelated to this is the term wave function for a quantum state.
But the relation between quantum physics and linear representation theory goes deeper still.
Here we discuss such n-modules.
This is achived by restricting attention among all categories with colimits to the presentable categories.
This way we arrive at the following definition.
Forming presheaves on 𝒞 is the free cocompletion of 𝒞.
These two examples are directly analogous from the perspective of enriched category theory.
Then Mod A≃[BA,Mod R] is the enriched functor category.
See also at Pr(∞,1)Cat for more on this.
Remark This is analous to the Deligne tensor product of abelian categories.
Let R be an ordinary commutative ring and A an ordinary R-algebra.
Generally, 𝒜 may be called R-algebroid.
This is the 𝒱-presheaf category, hence the enriched functor category [𝒜,𝒱]∈𝒱Cat.
Motivated by this example one also generally calls profunctors “bimodules”.
This is what the classical Eilenberg-Watts theorem solves:
This is the Picard 2-groupoid of ℛ.
Below we discuss two examples of this phenomenon.
For further references see behind the relevant links.
Let 𝒜 be an abelian category.
In this form one often finds the definition of injective resolution in the literature.
A special case of both are F-acyclic resolutions.
Let 𝒜,ℬ be abelian categories and let F:𝒜→ℬ be an additive functor.
Assume that F is left exact.
Consider the case that F is left exact.
The other case works dually.
Similarly, the third condition is equivalent to R 1F(A)≃0.
For purposes of computations one is often interested in the following stronger notion.
Then every object X∈𝒜 has an injective resolution, def. .
This we now construct by induction on the degree n∈ℕ.
The following proposition is formally dual to prop. .
Then every object X∈𝒜 has a projective resolution, def. .
Proof Let X∈𝒜 be the given object.
This we we now construct by induction on the degree n∈ℕ.
Then there is a null homotopy η:0⇒f • Proof
We now construct this by induction over n, where we take η 0≔0.
The formally dual statement of prop is the following.
Let f:X→Y be a morphism in 𝒜.
We construct these f •=(f n) n∈ℕ by induction.
This completes the induction step.
By prop. we can choose f • and h •.
This vanishes by the very commutativity of the above diagram.
In positive degrees it implies that the chain homology of B • indeed vanishes.
That the middle vertical morphism is an isomorphism then follows by the five lemma.
The formally dual statement to lemma is the following.
Let the differentials be given by (…).
By prop. every object X •∈Ch •(𝒜) has an injective resolution.
So choose one such injective resolution P(X) • for each X •.
This is what def. and def. below do.
We discuss now the basic general properties of such derived functors.
Then for all X∈𝒜 there is a natural isomorphism R 0F(X)≃F(X).
We discuss the first statement, the second is formally dual.
But this means that R 0F(X)≔ker(F(X 0)→F(X 1))≃F(X).
Let 𝒜,ℬ be abelian categories and assume that 𝒜 has enough injectives.
In fact we even have the following.
Let F be an additive functor which is an exact functor.
Because an exact functor preserves all exact sequences.
Let 𝒜 be an abelian category with enough injectives.
Finally let ℐ⊂𝒜 be a subcategory of F-injective objects, def. .
By prop. we can also find an injective resolution A→≃ qiI •.
Consider the derived functor of the hom functor.
Choose any projective resolution Y •→≃ qiG, which exists by prop. .
First consider the same projective resolution but another lift c˜ of the identity.
Form then the pushout of the horizontal map along the two vertical maps.
Similarly the bottom right morphism is an epimorphism.
It also manifestly respects the projection to G.
Therefore this defines a morphism and hence by remark even an isomorphism of extensions.
The same argument holds true for R any principal ideal domain.
Let G be a discrete group.
Write ℤ[G] for the group ring over G.
This is called the augmentation map.
This shows that every cycle is a boundary, hence that we have a resolution.
where on the right we canonically regard A∈ℤ[G]Mod. Proof
This establishes the first equivalences.
Regard the multiplicative group K * as a G-module.
In particular, no a i is equal to 0, and n≥2.
Choose g∈G such that χ 1(g)≠χ 2(g).
A locale is paracompact if and only if it admits a complete uniformity.
In this case, we can take the fine uniformity.
Examples metric spaces are fully normal
This corresponds to looking at a sequence of infinitesimal neighborhoods of the diagonal.
Their motivation is an analogue of a Beilinson-Bernstein localization theorem for quantum groups.
See also regular differential operator in noncommutative geometry.
For L wheTop this is the stable (∞,1)-category of spectra, Sp(L wheTop).
Stable homotopy theory began around 1937 with the Freudenthal suspension theorem.
They coincide in some, but not all, cases.
The isomorphism classes of monic maps into every object A is a Heyting algebra.
As a result, Heyting dagger 2-posets are the same as division allegories.
This is one rambling paragraph previously at symplectic geometry.
We should also have equivariant localization per se.
Hopefully this entry will be cleaned up later.
Witten’s conjecture was proved by Jeffrey and Kirwan several years later.
Then the following conditions are equivalent.
Any multiplicative subgroup of G is zero.
Unipotent groups correspond by duality to connected formal k-groups.
The following theorem is the dual to the theorem of the previos chapter.
This extension splits if k is perfect.
The categories Feu k and Fim k are dual to each other.
The categories Fem k and Fiu k are selfdual.
Let p≠0, let k be algebraically closed.
The canonical homomorphisms between enriched (∞,1)-categories are called enriched (∞,1)-functors.
See the references at enriched (∞,1)-category.
In some context it is equivalent to a braid relation for certain transposed matrix.
There is no left adjoint to the forgetful functor from Hopf algebras to vector spaces.
There is a unique bialgebra map S:T(V)→T(V) cop extending S V.

The corresponding spectral sequence is the EHP spectral sequence proper.
In the case X≃𝕊 n, the desired cohomology isomorphism is immediate.
The composite ΩΣX→Ω((ΩΣX)⋆(ΩΣX))→Ω(X⋆X) is a candidate H.
See also: Wikipedia, EHP spectral sequence
For k=1 this reduces to the notion of Killing vector.
The analog of this for spinning particles and superparticles are Killing-Yano tensors.
For n=3, they specialize to the notion of surface diagrams.
Several definitional variants exist in dimensions ≤4 (see also at surface diagrams).
We provide details for the preceding definition.
The natural ‘isomorphism’ relation of manifold diagrams is framed stratified homeomorphism.
The definition has several important consequences, which we list in this section.
These consequences have been formally worked out in Dorn and Douglas 22.
This leads to a theory of combinatorial objects called trusses.
The full ‘combinatorialization theorem’ is spelled out here.
Strata in manifold diagrams are, indeed, manifolds.
Moreover, they have canonical smooth structures.
Links of tubular neighborhoods in manifold diagrams are in fact well-defined.
That is, there is, up to isomorphism, a unique choice of link.
Manifold diagrams have canonical geometric duals (in the sense of Poincaré duality).
Details are spelled out in Dorn and Douglas 22, Sec. 2.4.
Idea A topos may be thought of as a generalized topological space.
Similarly we have: Definition
For n=0 this reproduces the case of a locally connected topos.
The follow proposition gives a large supply of examples.
See locally ∞-connected (∞,1)-site/∞-connected (∞,1)-site for the proof.
This includes the following examples.
The corresponding (∞,1)-toposes are the cohesive (∞,1)-toposes ETop∞Grpd, Smooth∞Grpd and SynthDiff∞Grpd.
And it is a locally ∞-connected (∞,1)-site.
Then also 𝒳 itself is locally ∞-connected.
This appears as (Lurie, corollary A.1.7).
Finally, by the discussion here, τ ≤0 preserves finite limits.
Hence Π 0 does so if Π does.
For instance it induces a notion of Whitehead tower in an (∞,1)-topos.
For a more exhaustive list of extra structures see cohesive (∞,1)-topos.
The Prelude on Classical homotopy theory ended with the following phenomenon: Definition
See (this prop.).
As one moves down this list, the objects modelling the spectra become richer.
The most lighweight model for spectra are sequential spectra.
The following def. is the traditional component-wise definition of sequential spectra.
Write SeqSpec(Top cg) for this category of topological sequential spectra.
This construction extends to a functor Σ ∞:Top cg */⟶SeqSpec(Top cg).
For details on this see Part S – Thom spectra.
This gives the structure maps for a homomorphism f˜:X⟶Maps(K,Y) *.
Running this argument backwards shows that the map f↦f˜ given thereby is a bijection.
But having both on the right or both on the left does not work.
Then consider the identity element in the top left hom-set.
By the commutativity of the diagram, these two images agree.
Hence [S 1,σ˜ n] * is an isomorphism (prop.).
From this, all statements follow by inspection at finite stages.
The fourth statement follows with similar reasoning.
This means that we actually have a bijection between classes of objects.
But it is also immediate to directly check the universal property.
For such there are two other models for suspension and looping of spectra.
However, this map is non-trivial.
This we make precise as lemma below.
Therefore in expressions like Σ(X[1]) etc. we may omit the parenthesis.
The second statement is a special case of prop. .
The other cases follow analogously.)
It is sufficient to check Σ ∞∘Σ≃Σ∘Σ ∞.
From this the statement Ω ∞∘Ω≃Ω∘Ω ∞ follows by uniqueness of adjoints.
So let X∈Top cg */.
The point where this does become relevant is the content of remark below.)
This is called the “strict model structure” for sequential spectra.
Accordingly, this carries the projective model structure on functors (thm.).
This immediately gives the statement for the fibrations and the weak equivalences.
It only remains to check that the cofibrations are as claimed.
Since components are parameterized over ℕ, this condition has solutions by induction:
First of all there must be an ordinary lifting in degree 0.
This is sufficient to deduce a Quillen adjunction.
Hence Σ ∞ sends classical cofibrations of spaces to strict cofibrations of sequential spectra.
This shows that Σ ∞ is a left Quillen functor.
Therefore we first consider now cofibrancy conditions already in the strict model structure.
This is a shift of a trunction of the sphere spectrum.
Hence the claim follows.
With this, inspection shows that also the above morphism is a relative cell complex.
We now turn to discussion of CW-approximation of sequential spectra.
First recall the relative version of CW-approximation for topological spaces.
(Hence an weak homotopy equivalence is an “∞-connected map”.)
Let f:A⟶X be a continuous function between topological spaces.
By possibly including further into higher stages, we may choose i>n.
to this function factors it as S 1∧X^ n↪X^ n+1⟶ϕ n+1X n+1.
Hence we have obtained the next stage X^ n+1 of the CW-approximation.
There we will give a fully general account of the principles underlying the following.
Here we just consider a pragmatic minimum that allows us to proceed.
This is often referred to simply as a “topological model category”.
Such a situation is called a Bousfield localization of a model category.
Hence one also speaks of reflective localizations.
Write 𝒞 Q for 𝒞 equipped with these classes of morphisms.
Let f be a fibration and a weak equivalence.
Consider its factorization into a cofibration followed by an acyclic fibration f:X⟶∈CofiZ⟶∈W∩FibpY.
We claim that (π,f) here is a weak equivalence.
Let 𝒞 be a right proper model category.
Let Q:𝒞⟶𝒞 be a Quillen idempotent monad on 𝒞, according to def. .
The condition Fib Q=RLP(W Q∩Cof Q) holds by definition of Fib Q.
First we consider the case of morphisms of the form f:Q(X)→Q(Y).
These may be factored with respect to 𝒞 as f:Q(X)⟶∈W∩CofiZ⟶∈FibpQ(Y).
This is provided by the next statement.
The resulting sheaf topos is also known as Dubuc’s Cahiers topos.
They form the Poisson-bracket Lie n-algebra of local observables.
Let RX=holimR rρ r *X C r.
Then R is a comonad on the category of cyclotomic spaces.

The multiobject generalization is called a quantaloid module.
It states that pair sets exist.
The axiom of pairing (or axiom of pairs) states the following:
Note that {x,x} may also be denoted simply {x}.
The axiom of unordered pairing (or axiom of unordered pairs) states the following:
Note that {x,x} may also be denoted simply {x}.
Of course, there is one proof for each natural number.
For n=0, this is simply the axiom of the empty set.
In the nLab, the term ‘pairing’ usually refers to ordered pairs.
Every subobject lattice is a Boolean algebra.
The subobject classifier Ω is an internal Boolean algebra.
Then it does not follow that Sh(C) is Boolean.
Every cartesian closed Boolean pretopos is in fact a topos.
Every subtopos of ℰ is an open subtopos.
Every subtopos of ℰ is a closed subtopos.
Proposition Let j be a Lawvere-Tierney topology on ℰ.
Proposition ℰ is Boolean iff the only dense subtopos of ℰ is ℰ itself.
ℰ ¬¬=ℰ is the smallest dense subtopos (cf. double negation).
Conservely, suppose ℰ is not Boolean then ℰ ¬¬ is a second dense subtopos.
In a lattice of subtoposes the 2-valued Boolean toposes are the atoms.
Let ℰ be a topos.
Then automorphisms of Ω correspond bijectively to closed Boolean subtoposes.
The group operation on Aut(Ω) corresponds to symmetric difference of subtoposes.
This result appears in Johnstone (1979).
(See also Johnstone (2002), A1.6.11 pp.66-67.)
This includes Set and models of ETCS.
Any topos satisfying the axiom of choice is Boolean.
This approach, though, was eventually found not to be viable.
But other problems were found with this approach, rendering it non-viable.
An n-truncated ∞-groupoid is an n-groupoid.
It makes sense for the following to adopt the convention that A is called.
(−1)-truncated if it is empty or contractible – this is a (-1)-groupoid.
(following HTT, p. 6).
To generalize this, let now C be an arbitrary (∞,1)-category.
This is HTT, def. 5.5.6.1.
Similarly, the (-1)-truncated objects are the subterminal objects.
This is HTT, def. 5.5.6.8.
(See also HTT, rem. 5.5.6.12.)
f is (−2)-trunacated iff it is a weak homotopy equivalence.
This is HTT, prop 6.5.1.7.
See HTT, remark 6.5.1.8.
This is HTT, lemma 5.5.6.15.
Therefore it is sufficient to prove the statement for morphisms in C= ∞Grpd.
So let now f:X→Y be a morphism of ∞-groupoids.
We now write X for X¯ y for simplicity.
This is HTT, prop. 5.5.6.5.
The left class is that of n-connected morphisms in H.
This appears as a remark in HTT, Example 5.2.8.16.
See also n-connected/n-truncated factorization system.
See there for more details.
So for instance for C= ∞Grpd we have τ ≤n∞Grpd=nGrpd.
This is HTT 5.5.6.18.
So n-truncated objects form a reflective sub-(∞,1)-category τ ≤nC↪←τ ≤nC.
This is HTT, prop. 5.5.6.28.
By the above lemma, F restricts to a functor on the truncations.
evidently commutes since it just expresses this restriction.
This appears as HTT, lemma 6.5.1.2. Proof
First notice that the statement is true for C= ∞Grpd.
The claim follows now with the above result that L∘τ ≤n≃τ ≤n∘L. Postnikov tower
See there for more details.
This sends a type to an h-level (n+2)-type.
The (−1)-truncation in the context is forming the bracket type hProp.
See at n-truncation modality.
It holds, however, in hypercomplete (∞,1)-toposes.
Then f is 0-truncated as a morphism in Sh (∞,1)(C).
To some extent, this is so by definition.
So we have for n∈ℕ a reflective sub-(∞,1)-category nGrpd↪←τ ≤n∞Grpd.
Let X be an object that is n-truncated.
This means that X→* is an n-truncated morphism.
Stability is a highly overloaded word in mathematics.
Thus one can talk about stability of solutions of differential equations under perturbations.
This is also related to the notion of stable equilibria in physics and engineering.
The equivalence is given by 2-dimensional parallel transport.
A proof is in SchrWalII.
There are many possible conventions.
Here we will concentrate on the combinatorial and simplicial version of local systems.
How does the n-grading affect the nature of the following definition?
In the ‘differential’ examples, the differential will usually be denoted d.
Almost always we will be restricting ourselves to the case n=1.
Extensions of any results or definitions to the general case are usually routine.
Let K be a simplicial set.
Here it says “a local system”.
I suppose “simplicial local system” is meant?
I copied and pasted from them, so this slip may occur elsewhere as well.
Let φ:L→K be a simplicial map and F a local system over K.
Now let F be a local system on K with values in 𝒞.
For ordinary local systems this gives the flat sections.
(enlightenment sought!!!)
Now suppose F is a local system over K.
So what are simplicial local systems used for?
Is there a good motivating example?
Relating it to the other definition of local system, maybe?
Then there is a unique element Φ∈F p(L) extending Φ σ.
Then the restriction morphism F(K)→F(L) is surjective.
See also local system twisted cohomology References
Also, it does not admit groupoid reflections.
This entry is a sub-chapter of geometry of physics.
For more on this see at geometry of physics in the section Smooth sets.
A smooth set or smooth 0-type is a sheaf on this site.
The topos of smooth 0-types is the category of sheaves Smooth0Type≔Sh(CartSp).
In the following we will abbreviate the notation to H≔Smooth0Type.
The topos of prop. also has another site of definition.
There is an equivalence of categories Sh(SmoothMfd)≃Smooth0Type.
The statement hence follows by the comparison lemma.
For the discussion of presymplectic manifolds, we need the following two examples.
This solves the moduli problem for closed smooth differential forms:
Proof This follows via prop. by the Yoneda lemma.
Mathematically this is a symplectomorphism.
This is the claim to be proven.
Situations like this are naturally interpreted in a slice topos:
A symplectomorphism clearly puts two symplectic manifolds “in relation” to each other.
But it does so also in the formal sense of relations in mathematics.
Here Z is also called the correspondence space.
One says that correspondences form a (2,1)-category Corr(H)∈(2,1)Cat.
An important class of symplectomorphisms are the following
Definition Let (X,ω) be a symplectic manifold.
This is equivalently a vector field v H∈ΓTX, the corresponding Hamiltonian vector field.
All these concepts arise directly from the following simple consideration.
Consider the phase space (ℝ 2,ω=dq∧dp) of example .
A standard such choice is θ=−p∧dq.
The resulting short exact sequence is the real exponential exact sequence 0→ℤ⟶ℝ⟶exp(iℏ(−))U(1)→0.
Phrased this way, there is an evident concept of prequantization of Lagrangian correspondences:
By Cartan's magic formula this equation is equivalent to ι vω=−dL−dι vθ.
The correction term is ι vθ =ι v(pdq) =p∂ vq .

We now discuss the above constructions more abstractly in cohesive topos theory.
We now discuss the above constructions yet more abstractly in homotopy type theory.
There are slightly different ways to give a precise definition.

It is used in the explanation of the stability of matter of the second kind.
If X is compact, then this is an isomorphism, the Hodge isomorphism
This is called the Hodge decomposition.
This is an acyclic resolution of E and hence computes its sheaf cohomology.

We discuss a general abstract definition of jet bundles.
For X∈H, write ℑ(X) for the corresponding de Rham space object.
We now indicate how the translation works.
A D-module on X is a morphism of (∞,2)-sheaves ℑ(X)→Mod.
Typical Lagrangians in quantum field theory are defined on jet bundles.
Their variational calculus is governed by Euler-Lagrange equations.
The archetypal example is the Ruelle zeta function.

Category theory also gives us tools for unifying disparate mathematical and computational phenomena.
Could we apply the same constructions to HRRs?
That would unify two kinds of analogical reasoning implemented on very different representational substrates.
More precisely, that generalisation and instantiation can be represented as an adjoint pair.
Perhaps this could unify lots of different topics in machine learning.

Notice that topologically disjoint sets must be disjoint.
Notice that separated sets must be topologically disjoint.
They are separated by neighbourhoods if they have disjoint neighbourhoods: ∃U⊇∘F,∃V⊇∘G,U∩V=∅.
Notice that sets separated by neighbourhoods must be separated.
Notice that sets separated by closed neighbourhoods must be separated by neighbourhoods.
Notice that sets precisely separated by a function must be separated by a function.
The classical separation axioms are all statements of the form
Assume first that X is T 0.
Hence assume that Cl({x})=Cl({y}).
Hence we have a proof by contradiction.
Conversely, assume that (Cl{x}=Cl{y})⇒(x=y), and assume that x≠y.
Assume there were no such open subset.
This is a proof by contradiction.
Assume first that (X,τ) is T 1.
We need to show that for every point x∈X we have Cl({x})={x}.
This is true by T 1.
Thus (X,τ) is Hausdorff.
Also, all of the R i terms are rare.
R 1 = reciprocal, R 0 = symmetric.
R 2 = regular, R 212 = completely regular.
Proposition (T n-reflection) Let n∈{0,1,2}.
Here X⟶t n(X)T n(X) is called the T n-reflection of X.
For n=2 this is known as Hausdorff reflection or Hausdorffication or similar.
; this situation is denoted as follows: Top T n⊥↪ι⟵HTop.
It follows that f(X) is a T n-topological space if Y is.
This means that f˜ as above is well defined.
Moreover, it is clear that this is the unique factorization.
To see that f˜ is continuous, consider U∈Y an open subset.
We need to show that f˜ −1(U) is open in X/∼.
But this is the case by the assumption that f is continuous.
Hence assume that [x]≠[y]∈T nX are two distinct points.
Therefore T nX is a T n-space.
Let (X,τ) be a topological space.
This is an equivalence relation.
In general, the specialisation order is a preorder.
Note that any preorder is the specialisation order for its own specialisation topology.
For locales, the axioms at the other end are clearest.
(Note that every locale is T 0, indeed sober.)
Specific examples should be found on the pages for specific separation axioms.
However, Tietze does seem to want them to be a hierarchy.
He never asks whether there exists of a regular space that is not normal.
But it is not on the same level as the others to him.
An original article is Heinrich Tietze, Beitrage zur allgemeinen Topologie.
However, we will describe both the first- and second-order notions.
Note that Peano’s original treatment was second-order.
Being monic, the subalgebra (0,s):FN→N is an isomorphism, by induction.)
Instead, addition and multiplication need to be built into the signature.
Induction becomes an induction scheme over formulas in the language generated by the signature.
This is the statement of Bar-Natan 96, Corollary 2.6.
chord diagrams modulo 4T are Jacobi diagrams modulo STU
A surjective function is also called onto or a surjection.
A bijection is a function that is both surjective and injective.
Contrast with the notation |B|≤|A| if there is an injection B→A.
This could be generalised to any category with a terminal separator 1.
Therefore, every surjection is an epimorphism.
The space of arguments changes accordingly.
In many dimensions, hybrid versions are possible.

Relativistic field theory takes place on spacetime.
The concept of spacetime makes sense for every dimension p+1 with p∈ℕ.
We follow the streamlined discussion in Baez-Huerta 09 and Baez-Huerta 10.
This operation makes 𝕂 into a star algebra.
Hence the conjugation operation makes 𝕂 a real normed division algebra.
This implies the second statement by linearity.
It only remains to see that the associator of the octonions is skew-symmetric.
By linearity it is sufficient to check this on generators.
This happens in the proof of prop. below.
We write Mat 2×2 her(𝕂) for the real vector space of hermitian matrices.
This is called the Minkowski metric.
Such an operational prescription is called a physical unit of length.
For the mass of the electron, the Compton wavelength is ℓ e=2πℏm ec∼386fm.
Moreover we use square brackets around indices to indicate skew-symmetrization.
First we need to see that the action is well defined.
This is the Lorentz group in dimension d.
This is immediate by inspection:
This is the canonical action of the Lorentzian special orthogonal Lie algebra 𝔰𝔬(d−1,1).
Hence exp(−α2Γ ab)v^exp(α2Γ ab)=exp(12[Γ ab,−])(v^) is the rotation action as claimed.
For these a¯=a and hence the condition a¯a=1 is equivalent to a 2=1.
This kernel reflects the ambiguity from remark .
This is called the Feynman slash notation.
With this equation (10) is checked explicitly.
Recall the Minkowski inner product η on ℝ p,1, given by prop./def. .

In dualising, things can go slightly ‘wrong’.
There is another problem, coherence!
There is an obvious extension to n-simplices.
We send ⟨V 0,…,V n⟩ to ⟨φ(V) 0,…,φ(V) n⟩.
This still does not get us a functor from Cov(X) to SSets.
These are discussed in the entry on pro-homotopy theory.)
How are the two ways around the coherence problem related?
(This explains why Čech and Vietoris homology are isomorphic.)
(These are sometimes called towers.)
Here are two specific examples:
This second example is certainly not isomorphic to a constant one.
There are two related ways.

The induced equality 1 FG=ϵFG.FηG is the unit of an adjunction FηG⊣ϵFG.
There is a modification w:GFη→ηGF such that w.η=1 and (GϵF).w=1.
There is a modification w″:FGFη→FηGF such that w″.(Fη)=1 and (FGϵF).w″=1.
The induced equality FGϵ.FηG=1 FG is the counit of an adjunction FGϵ⊣FηG.
There is a modification v:ϵFG→FGϵ such that ϵ.v=1 and v.(FηG)=1.
In comonad notation: there is a modification v:ϵC→Cϵ such that ϵ.v=1 and v.δ=1.
So we will content ourselves with proving logical equivalence.

Quaternion-Kähler manifolds are necessarily Einstein manifolds (see below).
In particular their scalar curvature R is constant, and hence a real number R∈ℝ.
Thus a quaternion-Kähler manifold is automatically a quaternionic manifold.

This is proposition 5.1 in (SchwedeShipley).
We now proceed from this by induction over the cells of the cell object B.
So B→B∐ KK′ can be used in place of K→K′.
By definition of adjunct we have that (B→RY)=(B→RL monB→RY).

Succinctly, Barr defined topological spaces as ‘relational β-modules’.
Here we unpack this definition and examine its properties.
If S is a set, let βS be the set of ultrafilters on S.
We already have 𝒪⊆τ(conv(𝒪)) from Proposition .
Suppose the contrary: that x∈V but V is not an 𝒪-neighborhood of x.
All that remains is to check is:
Extending the ultrafilter functor to Rel
First we slightly rephrase our earlier definition:
In particular, β¯ is well-defined.
This in turn amounts to T preserving weak pullbacks.
We must show that the canonical map β(R× YS)→β(R)× β(Y)β(S) is epic.
It follows that g(A)∩h(B)∈J so that g(A)∩h(B)≠∅.
In an equipment, there is a notion of monoid and monoid homomorphism.
This is really just a matter of unwinding definitions.
Explaining all this requires a lengthy build-up.
We now return to the task of proving theorem .
Then F⇝ ξx, i.e., N x⊆F, is equivalent to 𝒪 x⊆F.
This is because N x is the filter generated by 𝒪 x.
The second equation trivially implies the first.
We now break up our Main Theorem into the following two theorems.
The first inequality (lax unit condition) was already verified in proposition .
This would naturally follow if ∀ U∈𝒪 xπ 2 −1(U)⊆π 1 −1(U^).
First we need a remark and a lemma.
This follows by inverting the definition of the open sets in τ(ξ).
It suffices to show that A⊆A +⊆A¯ and that A + is closed.
We will do this by applying the lax associativity condition, using an appropriate ultrafilter 𝒢∈βR.
First let us verify that such an ultrafilter 𝒢 exists.
It’s clear that 𝒢 0 is closed under finite intersection.
Since U∈F and A +∈F, we can pick y∈U∩A +.
So we can pick a 𝒢∈βR extending 𝒢 0.
We want to show that U∈βπ 2(𝒢) i.e. that π 2 −1(U)∈𝒢.
By the ultrafilter principle, we may extend this filter to an ultrafilter 𝒢∈βR.
Put differently, we have established F=(m S∘β(π 1))(𝒢),prin S(x)=β(π 2)(𝒢).
This completes the proof of the Main Theorem (theorem ).
Now suppose f∘ξ≤θ∘β(f).
As above, a subset A of S is open if A∈𝒰 whenever 𝒰→x∈A.
It is Hausdorff if every ultrafilter converges to at most one point.
Full proofs may be found at compactum; see also ultrafilter monad.
See Clementino, Hofmann, and Janelidze, infra corollary 2.5.
The following ultrafilter interpolation result is due to Pisani:
For more on this, see Clementino, Hofmann, and Janelidze.
The nonstandard defintions of open set, compact space, etc are also analogous.
So ultrafilters behave very much like hyperpoints.
Equivalently, it is a category C with all coexponentiable morphisms?.

Sometimes this sort of transformation is called a generalized natural transformation.
There is also a yet more general notion of dinatural transformation.
However, there are few examples of dinatural transformations which are not extranatural.
Let F:A×B×B op→D and G:A×C×C op→D be functors.
We set down a few basic lemmas which describe how extranatural transformations compose.
These lemmas become very intuitive once one draws string diagrams to accompany them.

Also g has degree d k or less, and therefore so does f k−g.
For a unital ring R the following are equivalent: R is left Noetherian
Any small direct sum of injective left R-modules is injective.
Direct sums here can be replaced by filtered colimits.
Thus an extension to R exists by the injectivity of each I α k.
Now take any injective I k with 0→𝔧/𝔧 k→I k.
Therefore, ⨁ kI k is not injective.

Idea A diffeological space is a type of generalized smooth space.
(These mapping spaces are rarely manifolds themselves, see manifolds of mapping spaces.)
A diffeological space is then a set together with a diffeology on it.
Diffeological spaces were originally introduced in (Souriau 79).
They have subsequently been developed in the textbook (Iglesias-Zemmour 13) Definition
This assignment defined what it means for a map U→X of sets to be smooth.
Therefore in the sequel we shall often restrict our attention to CartSp.
One may define a smooth sets to be any sheaf of CartSp.
A diffeological space is equivalently a concrete sheaf on the concrete site CartSp.
(For details see this Prop. at geometry of physics – smooth sets.)
This is Prop. below.
The gap is claimed to be filled now, see the commented references here.
Write (−) s for the underlying sets.
But this means equivalently that for every such ϕ, f∘ϕ is continuous.
This means equivalently that X is a D-topological space.
Further discussion of the D-topology is in CSW 13.
It may nevertheless be useful to spell out the elementary proof directly:
This can be tested already on all smooth curves γ:(0,1)→X in X.
Also Banach manifolds embed fully faithfully into the category of diffeological spaces.
In (Hain) this is discussed in terms of Chen smooth spaces.
We discuss a natural embedding of Fréchet manifolds into the category of diffeological spaces.
The functor ι:FrechetManifolds↪DiffeologicalSpaces is a full and faithful functor.
This appears as (Waldorf 09, lemma A.1.7).
This is precisely the condition on a sheaf to be a diffeological space.
The category of diffeological spaces is a quasitopos.
This follows from the discussion at Locality.
This has some immediate general abstract consequences
This is a general context for differential geometry.

The converse seems plausible as well.
The converse, however, is not true.
Let us denote by AC 0= every surjection between sets merely has a section.

A number of other “saturation” conditions are frequently also imposed for convenience.
A category equipped with a coverage is called a site.
See Grothendieck topology for a discussion of the objections to that term.
We call a site C subcanonical if every representable functor C(−,c):C op→Set is a sheaf.
The generalization to stacks using cosimplicial objects is then straightforward.
Because of the final condition, we may choose to consider only covering sieves.
For more on this see category of sheaves.
Every isomorphism is a covering family.
This is the standard choice of coverage on Op(X).
Sheaves for this coverage are the usual notion of sheaf on a topological space.
On Diff also good open covers form an equivalent coverage.
This is all we need in the definition of coverage.
See fpqc topology, etc.
On any category there is the trivial coverage which has no covering families at all.
The corresponding Grothendieck coverage consists of all sieves that contain a split epimorphism.
Likewise there is a geometric coverage on any infinitary-coherent category.
Any category has a canonical coverage, defined to be the largest subcanonical one.
in (∞,1)-category theory the corresponding notion is that of (∞,1)-site.
Such an (∞,1)-site has correspondingly its (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-sheaves.
Thus, extension systems are equivalent to monads.

Every span of codegeneracy maps in R − has an absolute pushout in R −.
We have to show that f=id.
Since a is nondegenerate, it follows that f=id.
Let R be elegant and f:x→y a codegeneracy in R.
This depends only on the fact that f is split epi in R.
On the one hand we have A spϕ=A sA f=A fs=1.
All presheaves are “Reedy monomorphic”
Let R be elegant and let M be an infinitary-coherent category.
We use the terminology from the page ∞-ary exact category.
By absoluteness, A z is the pullback A y× A xA y.
Thus, the images of these absolute pushouts form the kernel of this sink.
Hence, L xA is the quotient of the above kernel.
Therefore, the induced map L xA→A x is monic.
By assumption A x→B x is monic.
The most common application is when M=SSet.
The simplex category Δ is an elegant Reedy category.
Joyal’s disk categories Θ n are elegant Reedy categories.
Every EZ-Reedy category that is a strict Reedy category is elegant.

Write τ ρ for the corresponding topology.
Then (E(ρ),τ ρ) is a topological space.
It canonically comes with the function E(ρ) ⟶p X x^∈ρ(x) ↦ x.
Moreover, the construction f↦Rec(f) yields a homomorphism of covering spaces.
So let x∈X be a point.
The argument for the base open neighbourhoods contained in intersections is similar.
Then we need to see that p:E(ρ)→X is a continuous function.
This shows that p:E(ρ)→X is a covering space.
It remains to see that Rec(f):E(ρ 1)→E(ρ 2) is a homomorphism of covering spaces.
So it only remains to see that Rec(f) is a continuous function.
shouldn’t such a discrete fibration then give rise to a functor |B|→Set?
I didn’t make myself clear then.
But hopefully my meaning is now clear.
Yes, I see now.
This is essentially the “regular representation” of the fundamental groupoid.
This is then a groupoid over G by the restriction of ev 1.
We could then talk about quotients by wide subgroupoids being topologically discrete.
This covering space is, strictly speaking, universal among connected covering spaces

This entry here indicates how 2-dimensional FQFTs may be related to tmf.
The goal now is to replace everywhere topological K-theory by tmf.
previously we had assumed that X has spin structure.
Now we assume String structure.
This will not be considered here.
moreover, every integral modular function arises in this way.
The corresponding super Lie algebras are called the orthosymplectic Lie algebras 𝔬𝔰𝔭(N|2p).
The properties of affine morphisms were first elucidated in Serre‘s criterium of affineness.
The adjunction f *⊣f * induces a monad making Qcoh X monadic over Qcoh S.
We make use of the notation introduced in category of cubes and cubical set.

Sometimes the very definition of Γ-space includes this homotopical condition as well.
See at model structure for connective spectra.
Another early reference considers Γ-objects in simplicial groups.
This box belongs to the sand!
It has a self-link.
There are a number of approaches toward constructing realizability toposes.
The categories of assemblies and partitioned assemblies are denoted Ass A and PAss A respectively.
Moreover, Ass A is regular and locally cartesian closed.
This category is a topos, called the realizability topos of A.
See Grothendieck's Galois theory for more on the latter.
There are two ways to define a Galois category.
We give them both below, following SGA1.
G has finite limits.
G has finite colimits.
The half-twisted model was introduced in
In other words pretriangulated dg-categories can be viewed as enhanced triangulated categories.
For this reason some authors call them stable dg-categories.
See (Tabuada 07, Theorem 2.2 and Proposition 2.10).
See (Tabuada 07, Proposition 2.10).
Strongly pretriangulated dg-categories Let A be a dg-category.
Let A be a dg-category.
There is also another construction using twisted complexes, see Bondal-Kapranov.
Now we have the following characterization of pretriangulated dg-categories.
If A and B are pretriangulated then the induced functor ho(u):ho(A)→ho(B) is triangulated.
See there for relevant references.
The relation to stable (infinity,1)-categories is discussed in
Lee Cohn, Differential Graded Categories are k-linear Stable Infinity Categories (arXiv:1308.2587)
Then ΔAut(X) is canonically a group object in ℰ.
This appears as (Dubuc, theorem 5.2.4).
One usually relabels the j-morphisms as (j−k)-morphisms.
Thus we may as well assume that k≥0.
Unlike the restriction k≥0, this one is not trivial.
A doubly monoidal n-category is a braided monoidal n-category?.
See braided monoidal category, braided monoidal 2-category.
See symmetric monoidal category, symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-category.
See periodic table for this original.
This was apparently first observed by Tom Leinster.
Thus every 1-connected bicategory can be pointed in an essentially unique way.
Thus, any two pointed transformations F→G are related by a unique invertible modification.
It is well-known that this is precisely the data of a monoidal category.
This can be regarded as another version of the delooping hypothesis.
This statement holds in fact even for parameterized ∞-groupoids, i.e. for ∞-stacks.
Specifically for 𝒳=Top, this refines to the classical theorem by Peter May
This is EkAlg, theorem 1.3.16.
An (n,1)-category is a n-truncated (∞,1)-category
Some discussion of the peridodic table is in
Related discussion can be found in the theory of iterated monoidal categories.
A previous version of this entry led to the following discussion
(Connective spectra can be identified with symmetric groupal ∞-groupoids.)
Coset representations The supersphere S 2|2 is the super coset space UOSp(1|2)/U(1).
This entry discusses the algebraic/homotopy theoretic prerequisites for derived algebraic geometry.
We will talk about a lifting problem that will lead to the formulation of tmf.
This requires E-infinity rings and derived algebraic geometry.
(ΩE n is the loop space of E n).
Then this h is a generalized (Eilenberg-Steenrod) cohomology theory.
Define π n(E):=[S 0,E n].
(we will construct this more rigorously later)
This assignment is a presheaf of cohomology theories.
So that’s what we try to get now.
Spectra ?↗ ↓ represent {ϕ:SpecR→M 1,1} → CohomologyTheories.
the ∞-monoidal structure on the spectrum induces a multiplicative cohomology theory.
The category of CohomologyTheories “is” the stable homotopy category.
The result is not even homotopy equivalent.
In the homotopy category the pushout does not exist.
For instance use the symmetric monoidal smash product of spectra.
These two approaches are equivalent is a suitable sense.
See Noncommutative Algebra, page 129 and Commutative Algebra, Remark 0.0.2 and paragraph 4.3.
In fact, see chapter 1 of Higher Topos Theory for lots of details.
this is an (infinity,1)-functor.
suppose some (infinity,1)-category C and its homotopy category C→hC.
The nerve automatically encodes the homotopy coherence.
Now let C be an (infinity,1)-category.
One example of this is the (infinity,1)-category of pointed topological spaces.
(We don’t require α n to be equivalences.)
I think we need pointed topological spaces here?
the sphere spectrum is the monoidal unit/tensor unit wrt ⊗.
But see the first few pages of Noncommutative Algebra for the intuition and motivation.
so let C now be a symmetric monoidal (infinity,1)-category.
There is one more condition on s, though.
Let A be an E-infinity ring.
Define its spectrum of an E-infinity ring?
Arakelov’s geometry is of course, motivated by number theory.
This is called the prime factorization of n.

Often by abuse of language, one calls H the ‘space of states’.
The mixed states are density matrices on H.
Alternatively, one may take a more abstract approach, as follows.
See also state in AQFT and operator algebra.
See also the Idea-section at Bohr topos for a discussion of this point.
A state is accordingly a generalized element of this object.
Let R be a unital ℕ-ring (def. ) with finite ℕ-basis I, |I|=n∈ℕ.
This implies that for each of them there is a maximal eigenvalue.
This maximal eigenvalue is called the Frobenius-Perron dimension of X, FPdim(X).
The details of this are discussed below.)
These coefficients are effectively the Fierz identities.
We follow Castellani-D’Auria-Fré 82, section II.8.
Some of the coefficients in prop. may vanish identically.
These are the bilinear Fierz identities, of the form ψ¯Γ a 1⋯a pψ=0.
This yields the quadrilinear Fierz identities.
Write again (12) 5 for the Majorana spinor representation.
More in detail we have the following decompositions, in the notation from above.
So it only remains to check that the proportionality factor is 3, as claimed.
Moreover, this is a dg-model structure.
These model structures present the derived dg-category.
For the case of dg-algebras, see the references below.
Thus, we may assume that r+k≥0.
Thus, we don't need r<−1 or r>n+1.
The restriction that r+k≥0 becomes that r≥0.
This is why groupal categories?
is an (n+2)-tuply monoidal (n,r)-category.
The inverse image f * preserves ¬¬-dense monomorphisms.
Hence 0 is ¬¬-closed precisely when it is a ¬¬-sheaf.
Now assume i skeletal.
The following exhibits the link between skeletal morphisms and Booleanness:
Conversely, assume all ℱ→ℰ are skeletal.
By Barr's theorem, ℰ receives a surjective f:ℬ→ℰ from a Boolean topos.
f being skeletal and surjective implies that im(f)=ℰ is Boolean.
The equivalent concept for topological spaces appears in Mioduszewski-Rudolf (1969).
This article is about support of a set.
For other notions of support, see support.
This leads to the notions of a support object.
In the internal logic of a category, this corresponds to the propositional truncation.
Strict 2-groupoids still model all homotopy 2-types.

If one considers arbitrary differentiablity, then one speaks of smooth manifolds.
For a general discussion see at manifold.
Differential and smooth manifolds are the basis for much of differential geometry.
They are the analogs in differential geometry of what schemes are in algebraic geometry.
Smooth manifolds form a category, SmoothManifolds.
Now we make some easy observations: Fix(p)⊆g −1(0).
The derivative dg(0):T 0(U)→T 0(kerdp(0))≅kerdp(0) is π again since Id−dp(0) is idempotent.
The tangent space T 0(g −1(0)∩V) is canonically identified with im(dp(0)).
Another proof of this result may be found here.
The theory of smooth manifolds appears if one takes 𝒢= CartSp.
This is discussed in The geometry CartSp below.
Let CartSp be the category of Cartesian spaces and smooth functions between them.
For 𝒢= CartSp this algebra is a smooth algebra in 𝒳.
The big topos Sh(CartSp) is a cohesive topos of generalized smooth spaces.
Its concrete sheaves are precisely the diffeological spaces.
See there for more details.
Let LocRep(CartSp)↪Sh(CartSp) be the full subcategory on locally representable sheaves.
By definition of manifold there is an open cover {U i↪X}.
The colimit in PSh(CartSp) in turn is computed objectwise.
In particular the inclusions U i× XU j↪U i are open embeddings.
Then we have ∫ γ 1f(z)dz=∫ γ 2f(z)dz.
Many categories of algebraic objects have similar properties.
We will call these examples of group-based universal algebras.
A covector field on X is a section of T *(X).

Gregg Jay Zuckerman is a mathematician at Yale University.
The Riemann hypothesis is proved using a Rankin-Selberg type of idea.

A wedge sum of pointed circles is also called a bouquet of circles.
See for instance at Nielsen-Schreier theorem.
See homotopy dimension for details.
Every local (∞,1)-geometric morphism induces a notion of concrete (∞,1)-sheaves.
See there for more (also see cohesive (∞,1)-topos).
Then the over-(∞,1)-topos H/X is local.
So Γ does commute with colimits if X is small-projective.
Axiom 6 with axiom 5 together say that ℝ is a commutative invertible semigroup.
Axiom 1 says that ℝ has a connected relation <.
Axiom 2 says that < is an asymmetric relation and thus an irreflexive relation.
(the full axiom 4 is the Dedekind completeness condition).
Axiom 3 says that < is a dense linear order.
Let us denote the Dedekind-complete Tarski group as ℝ.
There is an archimedean field structure on ℝ.
Proposition ℝ is a Archimedean ordered abelian group.
Proposition ℝ has a complete metric
Proof Since ℝ is strictly ordered, it is a totally ordered abelian group.
Proposition ℚ embeds in ℝ.
Thus, ℝ is a field.
Its elements are functions f:P×P→R such that x≰y implies f(x,y)=0.
In the base case we set μ(x,x)=1.

A P F-valued set is a set A equipped with a function FA→P.
This provides a general method for constructing models of variants of linear logic.
As above, let F:Rel→Rel be a functor.
This gives a category of P F-valued sets using relational composition.
Composition is by gluing of such maps.

Roger Penrose is a mathematical physicist at University of Oxford.
The other half was awarded to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez.
[] It is a relation between linguistic expressions
[] Definitional equality can be used to rewrite expressions [].
This is formalized by the use of equality with another term or type.
All three notions of equality could be used as the internal definitional equality.
The notion of definitional equality was introduced first in AUTOMATH.
This programming language has the feature that all computations terminate.

n-gons for n≥4 an n-gon may be convex or nonconvex.
It serves as the basis for much of algebraic geometry.
We consider the definition in increasing generality and sophistication:
The open subsets of the topology are the complements of these vanishing sets.
These are called the Zariski open subsets of k n.
See also at schemes are sober.
Let k be a field, and let n∈ℕ.
We need to show that then already f∈I(V(ℱ)) or g∈I(V(ℱ)).
We need to show that V(ℱ)=V(ℱ 1) or that V(ℱ)=V(ℱ 2).
Hence we have a proof by contradiction.
The following says that for algebraically closed fields then this is in fact a bijection:
The proof uses Hilbert's Nullstellensatz.
But the Zariski topology is always sober, see prop. below.
Let R be a commutative ring.
Write PrimeIdl(R) for its set of prime ideals.
These are called the Zariski closed subsets of PrimeIdl(R).
Their complements are called the Zariski open subsets.
Assuming excluded middle, then: Let R be a commutative ring.
This holds by the assumption that p is a prime ideal.
We discuss some properties of the Zariski topology on prime spectra of commutative rings.
By definition the topological closure of {p} is Cl({p})∩I∈Idl(R)p∈V(I)V(I).
Recall: Lemma (prime ideal theorem)
Then the maximal ideals inside the prime ideals constitute closed points.
In one direction, assume that 𝔪 is maximal.
By definition V(𝔪) contains all the prime ideals p such that 𝔪⊂p.
We need to show that more generally 𝔪⊂I for I any proper ideal implies that 𝔪=I.
We need to show that then already f∈ℱ or g∈ℱ.
To this end, first observe that V(ℱ)⊂V((f))∪V((g)).
It follows that V(ℱ)=(V(f)∩V(ℱ))∪(V(g)∩V(ℱ)).
Assume that ℱ is a prime ideal and that V(ℱ)=V(ℱ 1)∪V(ℱ 2).
We need to show that then V(ℱ)=V(ℱ 1) or that V(ℱ=V(ℱ 2)).
Hence we have a proof by contradiction.
That this is a bijection is the statement of prop. .
In particular there is the 0-ideal (0).
Let R=ℤ be the commutative ring of integers.
Consider the corresponding Zariski prime spectrum (prop. ) Spec(Z).
All the prime ideals p≥2 are maximal ideals.
these are closed points of Spec(ℤ).
Its closure is the entire space Cl({0})=Spec(ℤ).
Consider two sets X,Y∈Set and a relation E↪X×Y.
Define two functions between their power sets P(X),P(Y), as follows.
These satisfy: For all S∈P(X)
I E∘V E is idempotent and covariant.
V E∘I E is idempotent and covariant.
The first statement is immediate from the adjunction law (prop. ).
The argument for V E∘I E is directly analogous.
It follows from the properties of closure operators, hence form prop. :
Applied to affine space
These are just the Zariski closed subsets from def. .
We conclude by proving this statement:
For every g∈I′, we have f(x)g(x)=(f⋅g)(x)=0 since f⋅g∈I⋅I′ and x∈V E(I⋅I′).
This result is not completely obvious; it is sometimes called the weak Nullstellensatz.

Applying this to Met cont→Set produces a category isomorphic to MetTop.
We say that U is amnestic if its groupoid core reflects identity morphisms.
In other words, a functor is amnestic if its strict fibers are gaunt.
We again say that U is amnestic if its core reflects identity morphisms.
If the composite U∘K is an amnestic functor, then K is also amnestic.
Even Met→Set is amnestic, since the morphisms in Met are short maps.
The forgetful functor from a groupoid of structured sets is amnestic.
So long as this produces no additional isomorphisms, the forgetful functor will be amnestic.
Any strictly monadic functor is amnestic.
Conversely, any monadic functor that is also an amnestic isofibration is necessarily strictly monadic.
This evidently generalizes the familiar Cech cocycle data for traditional line bundles with connection.
It also sets up some notation.
The definition of the Deligne complex itself is below in def. .
Write PSh(CartSp)=Func(CartSp op,Set) for the category of presheaves over this site.

For definiteness, we recall the model for this construction given by Cech cohomology .
This is the case of relevance for Deligne cohomology.

That the diagram commutes is a straightforward inspection, unwinding the definitions.
These are the differential forms with integral periods.
By prop. the morphism on the right is indeed an epimorphism.
It remains to determine its kernel.
Therefore its ordinary fiber is already its homotopy fiber.
That image is Ω int n(X).
This is discussed in detail at differential cohomology hexagon.
We start by discussing this in low degree.
For more on this see infinity-Chern-Weil theory introduction.
Degree 2 Deligne cohomology classifies U(1)-principal bundles with connection.

Of these, the first three are arguably a notion of weak homotopy equivalence.
Maybe someone else can explain it.

The collection of all ∞-groupoids forms the (∞,1)-category ∞Grpd.

Now, profunctors D op⊗C→V are adjunct to functors C→[D op,V]≃PSh(D).
This (∞,1)-category Pr L therefore is an (∞,1)-analog of Set-Mod.
See in that context also the examples below.
This characterization works just as well in both the internal and enriched case.
This is a two-sided version of the Grothendieck construction.
In particular a relation between sets is a special case of this.
This appears notably in the definition of noncommutative motives.

Let C be a category with pullbacks.
In particular, descent morphisms are closed under pullback and composition.
Moreover, in a regular category, the descent morphisms are precisely the regular epimorphisms.
Perhaps more surprising is:
In general, descent is about higher sheaf conditions (i.e. stack conditions).
(See, for instance, section B1.5 of the Elephant.)
In particular, this is the case for any topos.
However, there are also important effective descent morphisms in non-exact categories.
In Top, there are characterizations of effective descent morphisms, see CJ20.
These includes open surjections and also proper surjections.

How algebraic is the change-of-base functor?.
The second theory is that of covering spaces in topology.
Classification of the connected coverings is by subgroups of the automorphism group of p.
This topological theory of covering spaces has some similarities to Galois theory.
Chapter 3 handles infinitary Galois theory.
Here profinite spaces and profinite groups are introduced.
This section is particularly valuable as it should set the scene for future research.
* It is a (1,2)-congruence if D 1→D 0×D 0 is ff.
* it is a (0,1)-congruence if D 1→D 0×D 0 is an equivalence.
Let q:X→Y be a morphism in K.
If Y is posetal, then ker(q) is a (1,2)-congruence.
If Y is discrete, then ker(q) is a 1-congruence.
If Y is subterminal, then ker(q) is a (0,1)-congruence.
The forward directions are fairly obvious; it is the converses which take work.
Since K is regular, r is eso.
Thus we have a 2-cell f→g as desired, so Y is subterminal.
Here is a link to my website.
This may be used to demonstrate the Beth definability theorem.

Locale theory is one particular formulation of point-free topology.
This construction is example 1.2.8 from section C1.2 of the Elephant.)
The locales arising this way are the topological or spatial locales.
A frame homomorphism ϕ:A→B is a function which preserves finite meets and arbitrary joins.
Frames and frame homomorphisms form a category Frm.
The category Locale is naturally enhanced to a 2-category: Definition
(See for instance Johnstone, C1.4, p. 514.)
Dually, a closed subspace may be thought of as a potentially refutable property.
See localic geometric morphism for more.
This appears as Johnstone, theorem C1.6.3.
This appears as Johnstone, scholium C1.6.4.
Thus we have a functor (−) L: Top → Locale.
One finds that (−) L is left adjoint to (−) P.
In fact, this is an idempotent adjunction:
Therefore the adjunction restricts to an equivalence between the fixed subcategories on either side.
see also MO here
This appears for instance as (MacLaneMoerdijk, corollary IX.3 4).
Consequently, we often identify a sober topological space and the corresponding topological locale.
For example, Set is moderate.
See for instance (MacLaneMoerdijk, section 5).
Write Topos for the category of Grothendieck toposes and geometric morphisms.
This appears for instance as MacLaneMoerdijk, section IX.5 prop 2.
A topos in the image of Sh(−):Locale→Topos is called a localic topos.
This appears for instance as MacLaneMoerdijk, section IX.5 prop 3.
The functor L here is also called localic reflection.
In fact this is even a genuine full sub-2-category:
This appears as (Johnstone, prop. C1.4.5).
We may think of a frame as a Grothendieck (0,1)-topos.
The last category is particularly interesting: it is a full subcategory of locales.
This is the double negation sublocale.
But there are other interesting examples.
The resulting sublocale can be seen as the smallest sublocale with a measure 0 complement.
The notion of locale may be identified with that of a Grothendieck (0,1)-topos.
See Heyting algebra for more on this.
There is also a notion of internal locale, see also internal site.
See Stone Spaces for details.
Many notion here have straightforward extension to general Grothendieck categories.
These trees can, however, be arbitrarily branching at every level.

Accordingly, planar operads are also called non-symmetric operads.

Let 𝒞 be a model category.
A weak equivalence between bifibrant objects is a homotopy equivalence.
Now to see that the image on morphisms is well defined.
Now let F:𝒞⟶D be any functor that sends weak equivalences to isomorphisms.
Here now all horizontal morphisms are isomorphisms, by assumption on F.
In particular there are equivalences of categories Ho(𝒞)≃Ho(𝒞 f)≃Ho(𝒞 c)≃Ho(𝒞 fc).
We discuss this for the former; the second is formally dual:
By corollary this is just as good for the purpose of homotopy theory.
Therefore one considers the following generalization of def. : Definition
Let 𝒟 be a category with weak equivalences.
Let 𝒞,𝒟 be model categories and consider F:𝒞⟶𝒟 a functor.
The conditions in def. are indeed all equivalent.
We discuss statement (i), statement (ii) is formally dual.

In End(Id x), this is the exchange law.
We prove the list of results from above in order:
Then ab=(1a)(b1)=(1b)(a1)=ba, so this operation is commutative.
Finally, (ab)c=(ab)(1c)=(a1)(bc)=a(bc), so the operation is associative.
Every homotopy group π n for n≥2 is abelian.
There are variations on the Eckmann-Hilton argument that do not assume units.
Let C be a category.
More generally, let J and C be arbitrary categories.
For this to work, Δ must at least preserve small limits (colimits).
Let P and C be arbitrary categories.
Then Δ P:C→C P preserves all limits that exist in C. Proof
First, recall that limits in functor categories are calculated pointwise.
One functor P→X with object function p↦ℓ is just Δ P(ℓ).
For this functor, we have our cone Δ Pν:Δ J(Δ P(ℓ))→.Δ P∘F.
Note that open covers of metric spaces have open countably locally discrete refinements.

This is shown at module.
Let SmoothAlg (or C ∞Ring) be the category of smooth algebras.
We give the proof below.
We may regard an object in T SmoothAlg as a module over a smooth algebra.
For proving the above theorem the main step is the following lemma.
A writeup is in (Stel).
So we only need to know how A acts on mixed terms.
In summary this shows that the forgetful functor U is injective on objects.
Finally we come to the proof of the full theorem above Proof
The above lemma shows that T SmoothAlg≃SmoothAlg× RingT Ring is a bijection on objects.
Motivating applications come from equivariant homotopy theory.
This subsumes but is more general than the concept of structure in model theory.
One may formalize the notion of structure using the language of category theory.
This is discussed at stuff, structure, property.
However, notice that these two conditions violate the principle of equivalence for categories.
A special class of examples of this is the notion of structure in model theory.

It’s easy to check that we also have {f,g}=dg(v(f))=v(f)g.

Let I be a finite connected category and F:I→C a functor.
Since I is connected, it is inhabited; choose some object x 0∈I.
We begin with P 0=x 0 and p 00=1 x 0.
We begin with Q 0=P n and q 0=1 P n.
We then set q i+1=q i∘e.
Similarly, arbitrary connected limits may be built from wide pullbacks and equalizers.
The same line of argument shows X×− preserves equalizers, so X×− preserves connected limits.
Thus ∑ X:C/X→C preserves and reflects all connected limits.
However, the following is true.
Now suppose G:C→D preserves wide pullbacks.
Then (1)C→GD→hom(d,−)Set preserves wide pullbacks for every object d of D.
Put I=hom(d,G1).
It also preserves the terminal object, hence by this proposition it preserves arbitrary limits.
The analogous argument works for finite limits.

In this article we mostly consider the categorical view on “theory”.

Equivalently, this is the complex Grassmannian Gr 1(ℂ n+1).
For the special case n=1 then ℂP 1≃S 2 is the Riemann sphere.
The sequential colimit over this sequence is the infinite complex projective space ℂP ∞.
The following equivalent characterizations are immediate but useful:
These form the circle group S 1.
The first characterization follows via prop. from the general discusion at Grassmannian.
Both of these mare are evidently continuous, and hence so is their composite.

Proposition (complex projective space is Oka manifold)
Every complex projective space ℂP n, n∈ℕ, is an Oka manifold.

The version for real projective space is called the Kahn-Priddy theorem.

There is a (Kan-) model structure on these simplicial sets.
Within S we can define a universe M and show that it is fibrant.
This universe is even univalent.
Now, the category of assemblies in number realizability provides such a Heyting bialgebra.
The modest sets, a small internally complete full subcategory, provide the univalent universe.

The quotient ring itself is called the ring of polynomials modulo p.
The Gaussian rationals are the rational polynomials ℚ[x] modulo x 2+1.

Then an ultraproduct of those structures may be used to model the entire set S.1
Let us extract a more concrete description.
Ultraproducts of models To be written.
Such ultrafilters contain all cofinite subsets of integers, but not only them.
Unlike limits and colimits, an ultraproduct is not defined by any universal mapping property.
This approach to model theory is pursued in Bell-Slomson (1969).
For contrast, compare with the more sober view of Hodges (1993).
The quotient notation is traditional but (ever so slightly) misleading.
But it is useful to allow for empty models (when they exist)!

[⋯] Without confinement,our Universe cannot exist.
Each represents one of the toughest challenges in mathematics.
Confinement and EHM are inextricably linked.
Electroweak theory and phenomena are essentially perturbative; hence, possess little of this complexity.
Science has never before encountered an interaction such as that at work in QCD.
The confinement of quarks is one of the enduring mysteries of modern physics.
Perhaps the most important example is four-dimensional SU(3)-lattice gauge theory.
All such questions remain open.
The second big open question is the problem of quark confinement.
Quarks are the constituents of various elementary particles, such as protons and neutrons.
It is an enduring mystery why quarks are never observed freely in nature.
This includes quark confinement, mass generation, and chiral symmetry breaking.
But we are lucky to have a tractable and fundamental problem to solve while waiting.
Hadrons are composed of quarks and are thus not fundamental particles of the Standard Model.
However, their properties follow from yet unsolved mysteries of the strong interaction.
The quark confinement conjecture is experimentally well tested, but mathematically still unproven.
And it is still unknown which combinations of quarks may or may not form hadrons.
QCD and its relatives are special because QCD is the theory of nature.
It does not capture drastic rearrangement of the vacuum structure related to confinement.
Non-perturbative methods were desperately needed.

In complex analytic geometry this usually means a complex manifold of complex dimension 2.
Let us consider the formula for a derivative: f′(x)=lim h→0f(x+h)−f(x)h
That is, we need the concept of a local addition.
This is, of course, the notion of a chart.
This leads to the notion of a local addition.
The broadest definition is the following.
Local additions are used in constructing the manifold structure on certain mapping spaces.
For details, see KM §42.
Applying this to the case N=pt, we obtain charts for M itself.
Let M be a smooth manifold, η:E⊇U→M a local addition on M.
Let V⊆M×M be the image of π×η.
Let U p≔E p∩U be the fibre of U over p.
Let V p⊆M be such that {p}×V p=V∩({p}×M).
Let us start by showing that η p is well-defined.
To find that, we look at the image of U p under π×η.
Hence the image of η p is V p as claimed.
Local additions are used to great effect in constructing charts for mapping spaces.
Let M be a smooth manifold (possibly infinite dimensional).
Let N be a functionally compact Frölicher space.
Let P⊆M be a submanifold.
Let Q⊆N be a subset.
We assume that the pair (M,P) admits local addition.
We shall also assume, for simplicity, that the domain of η is TM.
Let g:N→M be a smooth map with g(Q)⊆P.
By applying the projection to the second factor, we obtain a map f^:N→TM.
Composing with η produces a map η∘f^:N→M.
The map f↦η∘f^ is what we call Φ.
Let us identify its image.
Let V⊆M×M be the image of the local addition.
Let us start with the image.
Together with the identity on N, we get a map N→N×TM.
Moreover, this construction yields the inverse of Φ and so it is a bijection.
Thus we have charts for C ∞(N,M;Q,P).
The next step is the transition functions.
This will show that our resulting manifold structure is independent of this choice.
… to be continued …
Another useful construction from a local addition relates to diffeomorphisms.
So let η:U→M be a local addition.
The square of the norm coming from a smooth orthogonal structure would suffice.
Let us write X v for this vector field.

So in general KR-theory interpolates between all these cases.
Following this, KR-theory is usually pronounced “real K-theory”.

In the first case ¬φ holds, in the second φ.
However, this ideal cannot be proved to be finitely generated either.

A preset is a set without an equality relation.
A given preset may define many different sets, depending on the equality relation.
As functions go between sets, so prefunctions go between presets.
Composition of prefunctions is also possible, but likewise does not preserve equality.
We define a relation between sets to be a prerelation that respects equality.
Many properties of relations can also be predicated of prerelations, but not all.
In general, prerelations are Presets, types, sets, and setoids
Presets do not have equality.
Thus, strictly speaking, the types in the type theories are not presets.
Instead, they only form a magmoid.
The sorts in Michael Makkai's FOLDS are presets.
As far as I can tell, it therefore does not prove the presentation axiom.
Let (X,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension 4.
Let G be a compact Lie group.
Therefore classifying and counting instantons amounts to classifying and counting G-principal bundles.
This is the case of “BPST-instantons”.
This is the 4-sphere S 4≃ℝ 4∪{∞}.
We see below that Chern-Weil theory identifies this number with the instanton number.
Therefore this class completely characterizes SU(2)-principal bundles in 4d.

These morphisms are then necessarily monic and the rows and columns are also exact at Q.
Thus rows and columns of the diagram are exact.

The reason for trying this is in the spirit of centipede mathematics.
We shall work over ℂ throughout.
We start with the basic definition of an inner product space.
We do this by using orthonormal families.
Using orthogonal families, we can express the notion of completeness as follows.
The other direction takes a little more effort.
A slightly more concrete route is as follows.
This results in an orthonormal sequence, say (b n).
By assumption, (s n) has a weak limit.
Thus (x n) also converges and so H is complete.
Their equivalence exposes some of the deep results of Hilbert space theory.
Fortunately, it is not hard to formulate separability without recourse to metric spaces.
I think you’re right about the square roots, by the way.
So sure, keep them out for now.
So we consider the question: is ⟨v,v⟩u=⟨u,v⟩v?
Or, equivalently, is ⟨v,v⟩u−⟨u,v⟩v=0?
Moreover, we also know that in any case ⟨w,w⟩≥0.
Rearranging and square-rooting produces the traditional statement of the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality.
We consider the notion of quantum observables in the the context of geometric quantization.

Denote the monoidal multiplication of T by ∇.
In that case, ⊗ T is a functor C T×C T→C T.
Some authors call the analogue of a bilinear map a bimorphism.
A less ambiguous term is binary morphism.
is a morphism f:A⊗B→R of C such that the following diagram commutes.
For n inputs, we can define a multimorphism of algebras in the same way.
This intuition can be made precise as follows.
The most prominent example of this is multilinear maps extending linear maps.
In other words, C T with ⊗ R is a representable multicategory.

The dual concept is that of coequalizer.
For the finite case, we may say equivalently:
In general, a line segment is that which lies between two points.
(One can also consider half-open/half-closed versions.)
The line segment between p and q is traditionally denoted pq¯.
Both of the lifted model structures are then again accessible.

So far this structure is what is called a small category.
Between groupoids with only a single object this is the same as a group homomorphism.
This makes precise how groupoid theory is a generalization of group theory.
For more introduction on this see at geometry of physics – homotopy types.
See composition for further discussion.
A groupoid is called tame if its groupoid cardinality is finite.
The respect for identities is clear.
These two definitions coincide.
It first of all follows that the following makes sense
This is usually denoted Ho(Grpd).
Let X be a topological space.
The concatenation of paths descends to these equivalence classes.
This is the called the fundamental groupoid Π 1(X) of X.
Hence the fundamental groupoid is a homotopy invariant of topological spaces.
Let G be a group.
Let {𝒢 i} i∈I be a set of groupoids.
This is obtained from 𝒞 simply by discarding all those morphisms that are not isomorphisms.
Example (groupoid representation of delooping groupoid is group representation)
Here is some further examples that should be merged into the above text.
If X={*} this gives the groupoid BH, above.
(This gives one reason for the forward notation for composition.)
It is the left adjoint functor to the forgetful functor from groupoids to directed graphs.
A paper by Živaljević gives examples of groupoids used in combinatorics.
One answer is given in the book Nonabelian algebraic topology.
Proof The implication 2) ⇒1) is immediate.
It is clear that both induces bijections on connected components.
But this means F i,i and F j,j are group isomorphisms.
This is called a skeleton of 𝒢.
It is now sufficient to show that there are conjugations/natural isomorphisms p∘inc≃idAAAAinc∘p≃id.
Assuming the axiom of choice then the following are equivalent:
Here inc 1 and inc 2 are equivalences of groupoids by prop. .
It follows that also f is an isomorphism in Ho(Grpd).
Let 𝒞 be the category that the representation is on.
Equivalent characterizations A scheme is integral iff it is both reduced and irreducible.
– These are presently just notes to go along with a talk here
But ℝ d also has (smooth) group structure.
As such it is the translation group.
These are the actual paths that free particles in X follow.
This is now mostly called a Cartan connection.
Here one regards the Euclidean group Iso(n) of all isometries of ℝ d.
Inside this is the rotation group SO(d)↪Iso(d).
The quotient group is Cartesian space ℝ d≃Iso(d)/SO(d).
and SO(d−1,1) is the Lorentz group.
However, this is partly an illusion.
And this is secretly higher Cartan geometry.
To motivate these we now consider WZW models.
A miracle happens when one passes from Lorentzian geometry to Lorentzian supergeometry.
We come to this below.
This is also known as the WZW term in higher dimensional WZW theory.
All what we find here lifts as expected under Lie integration.
See also at parameterized WZW model.
For Nature is very consonant and conformable to her self…
Nonetheless, the status of this claim is conjectural.
See for instance (Hofmann-Morris, def. 4.24).
In particular, G/G 0 is a compact Hausdorff space.
Every compact and every connected topological group is almost connected.
Also every quotient of an almost connected group is almost connected.
This article is on the concept of moment in probability theory.
The corresponding graph distance then equips the group with a metric.
The methods of geometric group theory overlap with kernel methods in machine learning.

This is a core object in computable analysis/exact analysis.
In this form the Yoneda lemma is also referred to as Yoneda reduction.
This statement we call the co-Yoneda lemma.
By Yoneda again, this gives ∫ cF(c)×𝒞(−,c)≅F.
Here is a more conceptual proof in terms of comma categories
This applies in particular to F=hom(a,−).
This yields the co-Yoneda lemma in the sense of MacLane’s exercise.
The negation of an apartness relation is an equivalence relation.
This bicategory is locally small and a univalent bicategory.
Let S be a set equipped with an apartness relation ≠.
Using ≠, many topological notions may be defined on S.
The ≠-closure A¯ of a subset A is the complement of its complement.
Similarly, a function f:S→T is strongly extensional iff its antigraph is open.
(Then the graph of f is the complement of the antigraph.)
Note that every point is located.
Thus, he dealt with extended quasipseudometric spaces.
These details are not really important here.)
Thus, the opens in the locale X×X are precisely the subsets of X×X.
This subset is the extension of the apartness relation, i.e. U={(x,y)∣x#y}.
The apartness relation is tight just when this spatial part is the diagonal.
The axioms of the theory of apartness were formulated by Heyting (1925).

Recall the fundamental theorem of Galois theory for finite extensions of fields: Theorem.
Let A be a small parameter set in M.
A⊇K corresponds to “A is an extension of K”.
The size of this orbit corresponds to the degree of the field extensions K(ℓ)/K.
If this orbit is finite, ℓ is said to be algebraic over K.
Let K be a definably closed parameter set.
Let A be a normal extension of K generated by the finite algebraic tuple γ.
Let 𝕄⊧T be a monster model.
Let A be a small parameter set.
The absolute Galois group Gal(A) of A is Aut(acl(A)/dcl(A).
Dually, if we take automorphism groups, we get: Aut(lim⟶F)≃lim⟵(F(c)).
So Gal(A) is profinite.
Let A⊆𝕄 be a small parameter set.
That Fix is left-inverse to Stab again follows from being in a monster.
On the other hand, let H be a closed subgroup.
Since each B i is finite A−definable, c i is A-algebraic.
Hopf algebroids have a base and a total algebra (and some other data).
In fact this is an antiequivalence of categories.
There may be several sensible such generalizations.

Examples of these in turn are Hopf algebras.

It is a compact manifold.
Let G n(ℝ q) be the Grassmannian of n-planes in ℝ q.

Then G n(ℝ ∞) is a model for the classifying space BO(n).
In the following we take Top to denote compactly generated topological spaces.
For these the Cartesian product X×(−) is a left adjoint and hence preserves colimits.
Similarly the nth complex Grassmannian of ℂ k is the coset topological space.
As such this is the standard presentation for the O(n)-universal principal bundle.
Its base space BO(n) is the corresponding classifying space.
Consider the coset quotient projection O(k−n)⟶O(k)⟶O(k)/O(k−n)=V n(ℝ k).

Let C be a homotopical category with class of weak equivalences W.
Consider the functor category Hom Cat([t],C).
Let f:t→t′ be a morphism of T.
Notice that if f −1(j) is empty, this procedure yields the identity map.
This proves that the assignment C (t)(X,Y):T→Cat is functorial in t.
This is a special case of concatenation, which we will describe as follows:
This is clearly functorial in both coordinates and defines a monoidal product ∨:T×T→T.
We send a pair of zigzags to their concatenation in the obvious way.

In quantum field theory such direct summands are also referred to as superselection sectors.
Vladimir Baranovsky is a mathematician at the University of California at Irvine.
It is the semantics of an inhabited type in type theory.
This is equivalent to saying that the unique map X→1 is an epimorphism.
In terms of (∞,1)-category theory, internally inhabited means (-1)-connected.
Only the weaker internal statement ¬¬∃x∈𝕀 is true.
In the above situation this is achieved by forcing the existence of invertible infinitesimal elements.
The result is the refined topos denoted ℬ at Models for Smooth Infinitesimal Analysis.
As remarked above, projectivity of 1 easily makes internal and external inhabitedness agree.
We also present a constructive/intuitionistic proof of the following result about emptiness.
Let X→U↪1 be the epi-mono factorization of the unique map X→1.
Hence the subobjects 1 U and 0 coincide, forcing U≅0.
See there for more.)
See definiteness for more options.

Let the field bundle E→Σ be the trivial real line bundle over Σ.
By convenient abuse of notation, we also call that function ϕ(x).
where we defined the on-shell energy E(k→)≔+k→ 2+m 2.
It is convenient to also change variables k→↦−k→ in the second integral.
The analogue of prop. holds true for general spacetimes:

It is only the last statement that needs the axiom of choice.
To begin with, consider {U 1,∪i=2nU i}.
The issue is that it is not guaranteed that ∪i∈ℕV i is a cover.
This issue is evaded if we consider locally finite covers:
} i∈I is an open cover of X.
To achieve this we invoke Zorn's lemma.
So let T⊂S be a totally ordered subset.
We claim now that {W i⊂X} i∈I thus defined is a cover of X.
This shows that (K,𝒲) is indeed an element of S.
It is clear by construction that it is an upper bound for (T,≤).
This entry may need to be merged with cochain on a simplicial set.
Given a simplicial set X, the simplicial cochains on X form a cochain complex.
The cohomology of this cochain complex computes the cohomology of the simplicial set X.
Peter was born in London, and educated at Oxford University.
He gave several such lectures at Binghamton University.
After the War Peter obtained his doctorate from Oxford.
Peter Hilton was one of the most influential mathematicians of his generation.
He made major contributions to algebraic topology and homological algebra.
His influence on these subjects has been profound.
There would be much to be discussed here.
The following lists some first observations with links to further commentary.
Commentary in this direction is in Scholze b.
Comments on higher algebra aspects are in the slides
In homotopy theory he collaborated extensively with H.-J. Baues and with T. Pirashvili.
I organised Girls Day 2016 here in Gottingen for higher school girls.
(See at The BV-complex and homological (path-)integration)
But see the References below.
Adapting this to the algebraic context we get the following definition.
(This needs checking.)
On this whole page, assume that G is a finite group.
They become weak inverses once we restrict to semisimple module categories.
Its G-equivariant objects k−Vect G are simply Rep G.
Thus we define the 2-functor E as E𝒞=𝒞 G.
It has an additional G-representation by right inverse multiplication.
Furthermore, it is an internal algebra.
Let 𝒞 be a ℳ-module category, and A an algebra internal to ℳ.
Thus the 2-functor D𝒞=𝒞 G is defined.
There is an obvious faithful forgetful functor U:𝒞 G→𝒞.
There is a left and right adjoint to U, the induction functor IX=⊕ g∈Gρ(g)X.
There is an obvious forgetful functor U′:𝒞 G→𝒞.
The previous constructions generalise easily when our categories acquire monoidal or braided structures.
Actions of groups on braided categories are additionally required to preserve the braiding.
This is called a central functor.
Each braided fusion category ℬ has a canonical symmetric subcategory, its symmetric centre ℬ′.
By choosing a trivial twist, ℬ′ has a canonical spherical structure.
Ideals show up both in ring theory and in lattice theory.
We recall both of these below and look at some slight generalizations.
Notice that all three kinds of ideal are equivalent for a commutative ring.
The preceding remarks apply to rigs as well.
See ideal in a monoid.
Ideals form complete lattices where arbitrary meets are given by set-theoretic intersection.
(In particular, every singleton subset is a base of its generated ideal.)
The top element of an ideal lattice is called the improper ideal.
An ideal is a maximal ideal if it is maximal among proper ideals.
An ideal I is a principal ideal if it is generated by a singleton.
(This is not analogous to completely prime ideals.)
That is, every element of the ideal is nilpotent.
A maximal ideal M is prime.
Because the ideal lattice is a quantale, multiplication of ideals distributes over ideal joins.
Suppose IJ⊆M for two ideals I,J.
Thus their join is contained in M, so we have proved ⊤⊆M, contradiction.
The cofibrations are the monomorphisms.
The inclusion sSh(C)↪[C op,sSet] is fully faithful.
By construction, the sheafification adjunction becomes a Quillen equivalence.
The globular category is probably the globe category.
See simplicial category for an analogous discussion.
The latter involves an intermediate stage called prequantization.
This is what we discuss here.
Hence prequantum geometry is the geometry in slices over higher moduli stacks for differential cohomology.
(Hence more precisely: is there a natural Synthetic Quantum Field Theory?)
The following spells out an argument to this effect.
This Lie bracket is what controls dynamics in classical mechanics.
Something to take notice of here is the infinitesimal nature of the Poisson bracket.
There may be different global Lie group objects with the same Lie algebra.
From here the story continues.
It is called the story of geometric quantization.
We close this motivation section here by some brief outlook.
These are the actual wavefunctions of quantum mechanics, hence the quantum states.
Let (X,ω) be a presymplectic manifold.
Write 𝔭𝔬𝔦𝔰𝔰(X,ω)≔(Ham(X,ω),[−,−]) for the resulting Lie algebra.
This is called the Heisenberg algebra.
The freedom to add constant terms to Hamiltonians gives the extended affine symplectic group.
For more on this see also at prequantized Lagrangian correspondence.
Notice then the following basic but important fact.
This gives the first statement.
In fact this holds true also when the pre-symplectic form is not exact:
This shows that the map is an isomrophism of vector spaces.
This gives the short exact sequence as stated.
Recall the definition of L-∞ algebras.
So in this case the L ∞-algebra is equivalently a dg-Lie algebra.
This turns out to indeed be the case (Rogers 10).
We call these the pairs of Hamiltonian forms with their Hamiltonian vector fields.
Definition indeed gives an L-∞ algebra in that the higher Jacobi identity is satisfied.
With this, the statement follows straightforwardly.
Recall the Deligne complex.
This we come to below.
This is discussed further in geometry of physics – BPS charges.
We here discuss the full finite version of quantomorphism n-groups.
Throughout, let 𝔾∈Grp(H) be a braided ∞-group equipped with a Hodge filtration.
Write B𝔾 conn∈ for the corresponding moduli stack of differential cohomology.
For H= Smooth∞Grpd we have 𝔾=B p(ℝ/Γ) for Γ=ℤ is the circle (p+1)-group.
Therefore we will also write Heis G(X,∇) in this case.
An infinitary Lawvere theory is a generalisation of a Lawvere theory to allow infinitary operations.
Size issues can be tricky for infinitary Lawvere theories.
(This is connected to the nonexistence of free complete lattices.)
To avoid this, one may call the latter a finitary Lawvere theory.
See the n-Forum for more preliminary results.
The category Prod[𝒟,Set] of product-preserving functors and natural transformations is locally small.
Let V 1,V 2:𝒟→Set be two product-preserving covariant functors.
Let D s∈𝒟 be the image of s∈S.
Let D∈𝒟 be an arbitrary object.
Thus for each s∈S and x∈X s, we have the following commutative diagram.
This morphism is normally written ∏ s∈Sα D s X s.
Firstly, we need to define this forgetful functor.
The forgetful functor Prod[𝒟,Set]→Set S has a left adjoint.
Such a morphism is itself a natural transformation so we evaluate again at s 0∈S.
The counit, ϵ, is a little more complicated to describe.
Let V:𝒟→Set be a covariant product-preserving functor.
Let us now prove that these provide the desired adjunction.
The first part comes from Fη at F(X).
Under this, the identity morphism goes to the projection morphism described just above.
In this diagram, we have left off the subscript on ϵ for conciseness.
The vertical morphism is that induced by the projection from (2).
That element can be written (f) f.
Now let us turn to the other half.
We need to consider the composition: U→ηUUFU→UϵU
So we need to start with a covariant product-preserving functor V:𝒟→Set and apply U.
is colocally small if it is locally small in the dual category.
In other words, (isomorphism classes of) quotient objects form a set.
A category is well-powered if its every object is locally small.
The following notions have been introduced by (BKS21).
Idea The concept of a codense functor is the dual of dense functor.
This notion is dual to the notion of dense functor.
Also, F is codense iff its codensity monad is the identity.
A subcategory is codense if the inclusion functor is codense.
Let I denote the unit interval.
A category with translations is a category equipped with a rudimentary notion of suspension objects.
This is the case for instance for the presuspended categories of Keller and Vossieck.

Specifically a flat line bundle is a line bundle with flat connection.
In this procedure BV integrals are involved.
KK G is the category…
The KK-theoretic representation ring of G is the ring R(G)≃KK G(ℂ,ℂ).
This explains the terminology of “Morita morphisms”, which originates in algebra:
For review in a broader context see also Nuiten 13, around prop. 2.2.34
It is however more special than that.
The general 1-truncated concrete smooth ∞-groupoids are internal groupoids in diffeological spaces.
(See also manifold structure of mapping spaces.)
See also the references at geometric stack and topological stack.
One also talks about anodyne maps or anodyne morphisms.
(see for instance (Jardine)).
See for instance (Jardine) for details.
The corresponding saturated class of morphisms is called that of dendroidal inner anodyne morphisms.
See (Cisinski-Moerdijk 09).
For simplicity, assume all enriched hom objects of J are cofibrant.
There are 18 countably infinite families and 26 sporadic finite simple groups.
The original ‘proof’ fills 500 journal articles.
As of 2018 seven volumes had been published, out of an expected 11.
For now see the Wikipedia page.
This is sometimes called part of the statement of the homotopy hypothesis for Kan complexes.
This entry here focuses on just the standard classical model structure.
See also at simplicial homotopy theory.
Conversely, every simplicial set may be geometrically realized as a topological space.
For n=1 this is the standard interval object Δ 1=[0,1].
For n=2 this is the filled triangle.
For n=3 this is the filled tetrahedron.
However for working with this, it is good to streamline a little:
Better yet, SingX is itself already good cell complex, namely a Kan complex.
We come to this below.
These sets are taken to be equipped with the following group structure.
By the Kan extension property that missing face exists, namely d nθ.
This is called an outer horn if k=0 or k=n.
Otherwise it is an inner horn.
This is the simplicial incarnation of the concept of Serre fibrations of topological spaces:
there exists a lift C ⟶ X ↓ ↗ ↓ f C×I ⟶ Y.
The following is about small models.
In the induction one needs to lift anodyne extensions agains a Kan fibration.
Write F for this typical fiber.
This is an example of a general abstract phenomenon:
Topological geometric realization takes values in particularly nice topological spaces.
Topological spaces with this property are called compactly generated.
We take compact topological space to imply Hausdorff topological space.
It is a coreflective subcategory Top cg⟵k↪Top.
It is a cartesian closed category.
This is due to (Gabriel-Zisman 67).
This is due to (Quillen 68).
See for instance (Goerss-Jardine 99, chapter I, theorem 10.10).
The fibrant objects are precisely the Kan complexes.
All simplicial sets are cofibrant with respect to this model structure.
For all natural numbers n, the unique morphism Δ[n]→Δ[0] is in W.
Then W is the class of weak homotopy equivalences.
Then for 0≤l≤n, the horn inclusion Λ l[n]↪Δ[n] is also in W.
Quillen’s small object argument then implies all the trivial cofibrations are in W.
Thus every trivial Kan fibration is also in W.
The Quillen model structure is both left and right proper.
Left properness is automatic since all objects are cofibrant.
This may be found, for instance, in II.8.6–7 of Goerss-Jardine.
Proofs valid in constructive mathematics are given in:
The theory ACF of algebraically closed fields is existentially closed.
In lambda calculus notation, q=λa:A.fϕ(a)(a).
Hence s≔ϕ(p)(p) is a fixed point of f.
Thus epimorphisms need not be (weakly) point-surjective.
But retractions are automatically point-surjective.
(The shorter version above is a beta-reduction of this.)
Then every map f:B→B has a fixed point.
This version of the theorem is emphasized by Yanofsky.
What do you think about the extra-mathematical publicity around his incompleteness theorem?

Let X by a differentiable manifold.
These are to be thouhght of as the infinitesimal paths in X.
So to some extent the tangent Lie algebroid is the tangent bundle TX of X.

One of the earliest reference seems to be Ted Courant, Tangent Lie algebroids.
For emphasis this case might be called a modulating morphism.
For subobjects one typically speaks of characteristic maps or characteristic functions.

The importance of Ziegler spectrum is in the Ziegler’s theorem.
There are applications to the spectra of theories of modules.
But the presentation is all the more interesting/useful the smaller S is.
Now, the categorification of “commutative sum” is colimit.
Hence let now 𝒞 be a category with all small colimits.
In an ℵ 0-filtered category every finite diagram has a cocone.
The tower diagram category (ℕ,≤) X 0→X 1→X 2→⋯ is filtered.
Using this we have the central definition now:
A κ-filtered colimit is a colimit over a κ-filtered diagram.
A crucial characterizing property of κ-filtered colimits is the following:
This is mediated by proposition .
There is a different notion of “presented category”.
There are a bunch of equivalent reformulations of the notion of locally presentable category.
Here L by construction preserves all colimits.
It turns out that “suitably epi” is to be the following:
This is due to (Adámek-Rosický, prop 1.46).

A more general notion is that of monoidal monads.
(We formulate this notion in an element-free way below.)
Commuting nullary operations are necessarily equal.
An algebraic theory is commutative if every pair of its operations commute.
β is the composite TA×TB→τ TA,BT(TA×B)→T(σ A,B)TT(A×B)→m(A×B)T(A×B).

Note that this GAT has no equations imposed on the sort algebra.
This GAT also has no equations on the sort algebra.
Finally, one can axiomatize the theory of categories with finite limits as a GAT.
This GAT, however, requires equations on the algebra of sorts.
In this sense they are more or less equivalent in descriptive power.

On the other hand, most authors speak just about sieves on an object anyway.
This begins to look like an monic natural transformation into this functor.
A dual notion is a cosieve.
The French term for a sieve is crible.
There is a canonical way to create subfunctors from sieves and sieves from subfunctors.

It’s these subfunctors of representable functors that are in bijection with sieves.
The construction of S F makes sense for every morphism of presheaves F→Y(c).
If F→Y(c) is actually a subfunctor, then it is called a dense monomorphism.

This we’ll come back to in a minute.
But this is also easily checked explicitly.
Of course in general the cover will consist of more than just two objects.

We denote the category of situses by sዋ.
With appropriate definitions, sዋ is a full subcategory of sM.
Let M be a metric space.
We denote these by X • ≤𝔉cart and X • ≤𝔉diag, respectively.
We use this to define situses corresponding to uniform and topological spaces.
This is the situs associated with the uniform structure on X.
In fact, it is easy to define uniform spaces in terms of situses.
A different choice of the situs strucuture gives a different precise meaning:
This gives the construction of geometric realisation due toBesser, Drinfeld, and Grayson.
See details at section 3.2 of geometric realization.
No homotopy theory for situses has been developed.
Consider a model M in a language ℒ, and a linear order I.
For n=1 this can be reformulated as a lifting property in sዋ as follows.
An indiscernible set indexed by I is an injective continuous map |I| • cart→M •.
Let M be a model.

The free C-algebra over a category D is just C∘D.
The identity 1 P:P→P carries a club structure.
Algebras over this club are symmetric strict monoidal categories.
In this way, clubs generalize operads.
This generalization was performed by Kelly in CDT.
This applies particularly to closed monoidal, closed symmetric monoidal, and *-autonomous categories.
An answer more relevant to clubs will emerge in the next section.

vectors with the same orientation form an equivalence class.
The same holds for oriented lines and even higher dimensional oriented subspaces.
The equivalence class of a vector (or other object) is called its direction.
Unoriented directions have a representing unit vector only up to sign.
Unlike oriented direction, this makes sense over an arbitrary field.

Ein topologischer Raum ist eine Menge X ausgestattet mit einer solchen Toplogie.
Prinzip der Stetigkeit Urbilder offener Mengen sind offen.
Die Komposition von stetigen Abbildungen ist offensichtlich assoziativ und unital.
Man sagt dass topologische Räume sind die Objekte
stetige Abbildungen sind die Morphismen (Homomorphismen) einer Kategorie.
Dies wird die metrische topologie genannt.
, dann betrachtet die diskrete Topologie auf S jede Untermenge von S als offene Untermenge.
(Dies wird auch die initiale Topologie der Injektionsabbildung genannt.)
Zunächst ist es klar dass f˜ eine stetige Funktion ist.
ist überraschend anspruchsvoll, angesichts wie offensichtlich die Aussage intuitiv erscheint.
Man benötigt Werkzeuge der algebraischen Topologie (insbesondere den Fixpunktsatz von Brouwer).
Wir führen hier die einfachsten dieser Werkzuge ein und illustrieren deren Anwendung.
Diese bezeichnen wir durch: π 0(f):π 0(X)⟶π 0(Y).
, in dem Sinne dass π 0(id X)=id π 0(X).
Eine offensichtliche aber wichtige Konsequen ist dies:
Die kartesische Räume ℝ 1 und ℝ 2 sind nicht homöomorph (def. ).
erhält ein Homeomorphismus: f:(ℝ 1−{0})⟶(ℝ 2−{f(0)}).
Die Lehre aus dem beweis von prop. ist seine Strategie:
Natürlich verwendet man in der Praxis stärkere Invarianten als nur π 0.
Solche Pfade heissen stetige Schleifen in X basiert bei x.
As π 0, so also π 1 is a topological invariant.
Es gibt keinen Homöomorphismus zwischen ℝ 2 und ℝ 3. Beweis
Wir nehmen an es gäbe einen Homeomorphismus f und werden einen Widerspruch herleiten.
Wir diskutieren dies näher unten in Beispiel .
Die obige Konstruktion ist dann ein Funktor der Form Cov(X)⟶π 1(X,x)Set.
Die zugehörigen Permutationswirkungen sind in dem bild rechts angedeutet.
Wir sind jetzt bereit den Hauptsatz über die Fundamentalgruppe zu nennen.
Wir bnötigen nur noch die folgende technische Bdingung.
Diese ist für alle “sinnvollen” topologischen Räume erfüllt:
Dies hat einige interessante Konsequenzen… Every sufficiently nice topological space X as above
has a covering which is simply connected (def. ).
This is called the universal covering space X^→X.
For the moment see here for more.
This is far more general than is usually assumed.
One usually wants to place a Haar system? on a locally compact groupoid.
One can also take sums with coefficients in a partition of unity.
The model category structures on functor categories are models for (∞,1)-categories of (∞,1)-functors.
In the case of enriched diagrams, additional cofibrancy-type conditions are required on D.
The projective model structure can be regarded as a right-transferred model structure.
This yields the following basic result on its existence.
The statement about properness appears as HTT, remark A.2.8.4.
This is argued in the beginning of the proof of HTT, lemma A.2.8.3.
For Top-enriched functors, this is (Piacenza 91, section 5).
The other half is dual.
The Quillen-functoriality on the domain is more asymmetric.
For more on this see homotopy Kan extension.
For the case that D′=* this reduces to homotopy limit and homotopy colimit.

The objects of FI are the morphisms of I.
A natural system on I is a functor D:FI→Ab.
A lax version (introduced by Wells) handles that case.
This is in contrast to classical mathematics, where such principles are taken to hold.
Historically, constructive mathematics was first pursued explicitly by mathematicians who believed the latter.
This is the neutral motivation for constructive mathematics from the nPOV.
Here we write mostly about the mathematics, trying to be mostly neutral philosophically.
, simply remove choice and excluded middle from classical mathematics with nothing to replace them.
This is called neutral constructive mathematics.
See Truth versus assertability below.)
To most mathematicians, this makes them seem quite strange.
, a new sort of constructivism arose.
It is common in classical mathematics to define things with an unnecessary amount of negation.
the Dedekind real numbers and the Cauchy real numbers need no longer coincide.
Similarly, the Cauchy real numbers are not sequentially Cauchy complete.
The set of all real numbers with infinite decimal representations are called prealgebra real numbers.
This allows one to translate classically valid theorems into intuitionistically valid theorems.
A constructive mathematician can be even subtler.
This practice can be understood through a careful distinction between object language and metalanguage.
: Mathematical truths are not thought to be known unless proved true.
Some of these are also useful internally or even classically.
There is also constructivism and idealism?
See also the references at intuitionistic mathematics for more.

Most books on topos theory include some discussion of toposes' internal constructive logic.

De Morgan algebras This page is about distributive lattices equipped with a contravariant involution.
This implies that ¬ satisfies De Morgan’s laws: ¬(A∧B)=¬A∨¬B and ¬(A∨B)=¬A∧¬B.
Any Boolean algebra is a De Morgan algebra, with ¬ the logical negation.
That is, we have G=⋁{U:B|U⊆G}.
The weight of a space is the minimum of the cardinalities of the possible bases B.
But without Choice, we can still consider this collection of cardinalities.
Then a second-countable space is simply one with a countable weight.
(Euclidean space is second-countable)
Consider the Euclidean space ℝ n with its Euclidean metric topology.
Then ℝ n is second countable.
In this case it is called a topological manifold.
See at topological space this prop..
Subspaces of second-countable spaces are second-countable.
Properties second-countable: there is a countable base of the topology.
separable: there is a countable dense subset.
Lindelöf: every open cover has a countable sub-cover.
metacompact: every open cover has a point-finite open refinement.
first-countable: every point has a countable neighborhood base
second-countable spaces are Lindelöf.
weakly Lindelöf spaces with countably locally finite base are second countable.
separable metacompact spaces are Lindelöf.
Lindelöf spaces are trivially also weakly Lindelöf.
a first-countable space is obviously Fréchet-Urysohn.
a Fréchet-Uryson space is obviously sequential.
a sequential space is obviously countably tight.
paracompact spaces satisfying the countable chain condition are Lindelöf.
(We have Q[x^][t/x]=Q for every term t.)
In homotopy type theory these are the (-1)-types.
We discuss some elements in the Lie algebra cohomology of 𝔦𝔰𝔬(d−1,1).
The element η abθ a∧θ b∈W(𝔦𝔰𝔬(d−1,1)) is an invariant polynomial.
A Chern-Simons element for it is cs=η abe a∧θ b.
So this transgresses to the trivial cocycle.
Another invariant polynomial is r ab∧r ab.
This is the Killing form of 𝔰𝔬(d−1,1).
Accordingly, it transgresses to a multiple of ω a b∧ω b c∧ω c a.
We have vol(E)=ϵ a 1⋯a dE a 1∧⋯∧E a d.
If the torsion vanishes, this is indeed a closed form.
Taking the cohomology of that complex yields monadic cohomology, see at canonical resolution.
This approach has been studied by, in particular, Michael Barr and Jon Beck.

The notion of 2-group is a vertical categorification of the notion of group.
The earliest version studied is that of strict 2-groups.
For purposes of internalization, one probably wants to use the coherent version.
For instance for H= Smooth∞Grpd the (∞,1)-topos of smooth ∞-groupoids one obtains:
By the discussion there, every ∞-group has a presentation by a simplicial group.
Similar statements hold for 2-groups with extra structure.
(See the discussion at Smooth∞Grpd for more on this.)
See there for more details on that case.
See string 2-group.
See Platonic 2-group Equivalences of 2-groups
Accordingly, it presents an equivalence of 2-groups.
Clearly also the kernel of the right vertical morphisms is the trivial group.
Beware that most of the above discussion is about geometrically discrete 2-groups.
For more on this see the references at string 2-group.

If |c|>2 then for all n>0 we have |f c n+1(0)|>|f c n(0)|.
We prove the last statement by induction.
Now assume that there is n∈ℕ such that |f c n(0)|>|c|.
Pick such an n for r=2.
Let then ϵ≔|f c n(0)|−2.

Now suppose that f is surjective.
Then there must be some element a:S such that f(a)=g.

Since n has no fixed point, apply Theorem .
Define f:S→𝒫S as follows: f(a)={b:S|∀(U:𝒫S),i(U)=a⇒b∈U}.
Of course, Cantor also proved Theorem , but his proof was not constructive.
Thus their composite would be a surjection 𝒫S→𝒫𝒫S, which is impossible by Theorem .
So in the arithmetic of cardinal numbers, we have |S|≤|𝒫S|.
So we conclude that |S|<|𝒫S|.
That is, each set is strictly smaller in cardinality than its power set.
So some other proof must be sought.
Proving there is no surjection X→2 X is an amusing exercise.

Let G be a group.
We shall see in Remark that all torsors actually arise as in Example .
It is possible to define torsors using a single-sorted algebraic theory.
A homomorphism of torsors is a map of sets that preserves this operation.
The equivalence with the two-sorted definition is demonstrated as follows.
The following diagram is cartesian.
Some of these may of course coincide.
Let ρ:G→T be a trivialisation of a torsor T̲.

The ambient category is C, as before.
But this is a very general notion of “cover”.
This is the more usual sense when referring to principal bundles as torsors.
Or, “cover” could refer to a covering sieve in a Grothendieck topology.

The adjective “cartesian” refers to the existence of finite products.
We call this structure a 1-category equipped with relations.
We also call this structure a relation equipment or a 1-category proarrow equipment.
For instance, internal relations in any regular category also form a relation equipment.
Then ℋ(K̲) is a cartesian bicategory.
We can also construct this structure starting from a relation equipment.
(That is, “tabulations” in a certain sense exist.)
Then ℋ(K̲) is a bicategory of relations.
We first verify the axiom Δ •Δ •=1.
The factorization is unique since all 2-cells are unique.
We now verify the Frobenius axiom Δ •Δ •=(1×Δ •)(Δ •×1).
The other Frobenius axiom is, of course, dual.
It is shown here that any bicategory of relations is an allegory.
Its boundary is the (n−1)-sphere.
There are also combinatorial notions of disks.

Observe that for 1/2<‖x‖<2 the vector field V equals x↦x/‖x‖.
Also, all flow lines of V are radial rays.
(The subscript >1/2 removes the closed ball of radius 1/2.)
(Note particularly that the latter map is surjective.
The map g is smooth because for 1/2<‖x‖<2 both definitions give the same value.
(Such ϕ exists by the Whitney extension theorem.)
Clearly f is smooth on Ω.
We set A(x)=sup{t>0∣tx‖x‖∈Ω}.
Indeed, if A(x)=+∞, then it holds for obvious reason.
If A(x)<+∞, then by definitions of ϕ and A(x) we get that ϕ(A(x)x‖x‖)=0.
As a result, ∫ 0 A(x)dtϕ(tx‖x‖) diverges.
Hence we infer that f([0,A(x))x‖x‖)=R +x‖x‖ and so f(Ω)=R n.
To end the proof we need to show that f has a C ∞-inverse.
Suppose that d xf(h)=0 for some x∈Ω and h≠0.
From definition of f we get that d xf(h)=λ(x)h+d xλ(h)x.

Idea Cartesian fibrations are one of the types of fibrations of quasi-categories.
This is the content of the (∞,1)-Grothendieck construction.
This is HTT, def. 2.4.2.1.
We call such functors cartesian functors.
Dually, we make the analogous definition of cocartesian functor.
Proposition We have: Every isomorphism of simplicial sets is a Cartesian fibration.
The composite of two Cartesian fibrations is again a Cartesian fibration.
This is HTT, prop. 3.3.1.7.
This is the content of the (∞,1)-Grothendieck construction.
It remains to check if it has enough Cartesian morphisms.
We can test locally if a morphism is a Cartesian fibration:
This is HTT, prop. 3.3.1.3.
This is HTT, prop 3.3.1.4.
See the article straightening functor for more information.
This is HTT, prop. 2.4.2.4.
These turn out not to have much of an intrinsic category theoretic meaning.
This is HTT, prop. 3.3.1.7.
The left adjoint is given by the construction of “free fibrations”
The cartesian case for mapping spaces is theorem 4.11 of Gepner-Haugseng-Nikolaus.
Then (F↓G)→A is as well, since fibrations are preserved by pullback.
This is HTT, def. 5.2.1.1.
Such a pair is a pair of adjoint (infinity,1)-functors.

Then an internal category in M is a monad in Comod(M).
In other words, Tambara modules generalize profunctors from categories to actegories.
Tambara modules are used in the theory of optics (in computer science).
We denote M actions by (−)⋅(−).
This is same thing as (left) strong profunctors.
Suppose now C and D have both left and right M-actegories structures.
Let P,Q:C op×D→Set be (left) Tambara modules.
Both Tamb06 and PS07 define Tambara module to mean Tambara bimodule.
This is then called the field bundle.

This is the application to topology of the general concept of base.
See below for a characterisation of which collections these can be.
Now fix a point a in X.
The minimum cardinality of a base of X is the weight of X.
The supremum of the characters at all points of X is the character of X.
Therefore, every metric space is first-countable.
Therefore, every separable metric space is second-countable.
Let X be simply a set.
(The resulting base will actually be closed under intersection.)
This poset is in fact a lattice.
The greatest common divisor of a,b is their meet in this lattice.
In particular, a topological group does not act continuously on itself, in general.
See category of G sets.
Since X has the discrete topology, {x} is an open subset of X.
So μ −1({x}) is open.
Conversely, suppose each such set is open.
So it suffices to show that each μ −1({a}) is open.
We have μ −1({a})=⋃ x∈X{g∈G:g⋅x=a}×{x}.
If there is no such g, then this is empty, hence open.
Otherwise, let g 0 be such that g 0⋅x=a.
Then we have {g∈G:g⋅x=a}=g 0⋅I x.
In the following examples, all groups are discrete.
A ℤ 2-set is a set equipped with an involution.

But one may also use smooth isotopy.
(see e.g. Greene 13 or MO discussion here).
There are various different conditions that are sufficient for this being well defined.
This is hence called the pullback of distributions.

A large class of examples is implied by the following proposition.
In every smooth topos (𝒯,R) we have the following.
The standard line R is microlinear.
(See limits and colimits by example if you don’t find it obvious.)
All representable objects in these smooth toposes are microlinear.

But recent experiments get close to the required intensities (Dunne 09).

This explains the term ‘monoidal category’.
A monoidal category can also be considered a one-object bicategory.
See there for more details.
Remark (making the ambient structure morphisms explicit)
We reproduce his arguments here.
Similarly, the following equation holds: ρ xy=(xρ y)∘α x,y,1.
We prove only the first equation; the proof of the second is entirely analogous.
The equation λ 1=ρ 1:1⊗1→1 holds in a monoidal category.
Since −⊗1 is an equivalence, it suffices to show λ 11=ρ 11.
In this case the pentagon identity and the triangle identities hold automatically.
Every monoidal category is also equivalent In MonCat to a skeletal monoidal category.
In this logical context the string diagrams of monoidal categories are called proof nets.
The proof uses the Eckmann-Hilton argument.
Where the definition comes from
For example, one might wonder if we can define monoidal categories using internalization.
Furthermore, hardly any of the monoidal categories in nature are strict.
But where do the coherence laws come from?
This fact is another version of Mac Lane’s Coherence Theorem.
Two other closely related approaches involve 2-monad theory and homotopy theory.
For instance the pentagon diagram above is nothing but the 4th oriental!
The tensor product itself is the second oriental, and the associator the third.
The following section explains this in a bit more detail.
This is part of a more general principle.

So in particular a Cisinski model structure always exists.
After some preliminaries, the main statement is theorem below.
(This follows sections 1.2 and 1.3 of Cisinski 06).
Let A be a small category.
Further below in def. this defines a model category structure on PSh(A).
A functorial cylinder object over A is a section of this functor.
This is (Cisinski 06, def. 1.3.1).
We say J-homotopy for the equivalence relation generated by this.
It is sufficient to show that elementary J-homotopies are compatible with composition.
Together this generates a J-homotopy f′∘f⇒g′∘g.
Hence the following is well defined.
Write Q:PSh(A)→Ho J(A) for the projection functor.
Every acyclic fibration in PSh(A) is a J-homotopy equivalence.
So the statement follows with remark .
The disjointness of the two points ensures that *∐*→(∂ 0,∂ 1)I is a monomorphism.
Let I:=Ω be the subobject classifier in the presheaf topos PSh(A).
By prop. , X∈PSh(A) is |Mor(A/X)|-compact.
Since monomorphisms are closed under these operations, the second statement follows.
Therefore also their composite I⊗j is anodyne.
, that of generating acyclic cofibrations is prop. below.
We discuss the proof of prop. below in Completeness.
We collect lemmas to prove theorem and related statements.
Finally, the proof of the equivalence of the conditions of completeness is in Completeness.
Every J-homotopy equivalence, def. , is a weak equivalence.
The first statement holds by definition of Ho J.
The second statement also follows directly from the definition.
We discuss the lifting properties in the model structure of def. .
For this it is sufficient to show prop. .
This we do now, after a lemma.
It is strong if h∘(I⊗f)=σ Y∘(I⊗f).
Every section of an acyclic fibration is a strong deformation retract.
The first statement is a direct consequence of prop .
We need to show that it has the right lifting property against all monomorphisms.
So by lemma with q also p is an acyclic fibration.
However, we can say more by appealing to general machinery.
This section follows (Cisinski 06, section 1.2).
We start with some entirely general statements about compact objects.
For X∈PSh(A), write A/X for the category of elements of X.
In other words: X is a |Mor(A/X)|-compact object.
The following lemma will be used to show that cellular structures always exist.
(Cisinski 06, prop. 1.2.27), also sketched at cellular model.
every object is α-small, for some α.
we can apply the small object argument.
This is the statement of prop. below.
Establishing this takes a few technical lemmas.
Proof Is is clear that every J-homotopy is a weak equivalence.
Conversely, let f:X→Y be a weak equivalence between fibrant objects.
Proof That the former implies the latter was the statement of lemma .
This being strong means that p∘k=p∘σ X.
One see that l:=h∘∂ L 0 is a lift of the original square above.
We already know from prop. that acyclic fibrations are weak equivalences.
We need to show that p is an acyclic fibration.
By lemma p is also a J-homotopy equivalence.
Set then s:=k′∘∂ Y 0.
One finds then p∘s=id Y.
By lemma we already know that every anodyne extension is a weak equivalence.
Since j is a weak equivalence, by 2-out-of-3 so is q.
By lemma q is an acyclic fibration.
Hence with j also i is an anodyne extension.
The acyclic cofibrations are stable under transfinite composition and pushouts
Every strong deformation retract is an anodyne extension.
Every anodyne extension between fibrant objects is a strong deformation retract.
There exists a set of generating acyclic cofibrations.
By prop. and prop. we may apply the small object argument.
We list lemmas to show prop. .
The elements of W we call W-equivalences.
The minimal A-localizer is W(∅).

In other words, double negation is the composite of negation with itself.
More abstractly, double negation is the identity function on any boolean algebra.
In intuitionistic logic, double negation is weaker than the identity.
That is, we have P⇒¬¬P but not conversely.
In paraconsistent logic, it is the other way around.
Accordingly, double negation is usually not the identity on a frame.
However, the operation of double negation is a nucleus on any frame.
In constructive mathematics, the same holds except that S must also have decidable equality.

So one model for smooth ∞-stacks is given by simplicial smooth spaces.
In particular ∞-groupoids internal to diffeological spaces are therefore a model for smooth ∞-stacks.

Let G be a Lie group.

The min-plus algebra is the same as the tropical algebra.
This name is used when it is considered in applications to systems theory.
There is also a max-plus algebra.
They are both examples of idempotent semirings or dioids.
These spaces are a convenient choice for notions of convergence in an ordered setting.
The concept was introduced by Nachbin (see Nachbin ‘65).
For now, see Jung ‘04.
This is the origin of the name.
This provides another justification for the name.
Assuming the axiom of choice, these are equivalent to completely distributive lattices.
The converse only holds if an adjoint functor theorem applies.

Several similar situations arise in the study of 2-categories as well.
The theory of generalized kernels in enriched categories subsumes all of these examples.
Then the inclusions of J and 2 into H induce a profunctor K:2⇸J.
This is the input data for a notion of kernels.
Since the inclusion of 2 into H is fully faithful, it follows that ker(f)(0)=ulcornerfurcorner(0)=x.
The quotient of M defined to be its K-weighted colimit.
This is a functor 2→C, i.e. a single morphism in C.
In other words, it is a factorization of f.
Often the factorizations produced in this way are familiar.
That is, H is the “walking fork.”
The factorization of f:x→y obtained in this way is x→(x⊔y)→[f,id]y.
Then kernel data is a 2-cell, and its quotient is its coinverter.
The kernel of a morphism is sometimes called its invertee?.
In particular, it need not give a factorization system of any kind.
This sort of idea has been thought of by various people at various times.
It is a whole program transformation.
it does not equate lambda abstractions that are semantically equal but syntactically different.
(Thus it violates both existence and uniqueness in the universal property.)
Consider the factorial function in continuation-passing style, written in Haskell:
And now we can write the program without lambda abstractions:

A symmetric function is roughly a polynomial that is invariant under permutation of its variables.
The only symmetric polynomials in infinitely many variables are the constants.
These basis elementa are called the elementary symmetric functions.
There is also a noncommutative analogue: noncommutative symmetric functions.
Symmetric functions play a fundamental role throughout representation theory, combinatorics and algebraic topology.
The ring of symmetric functions, Λ, has many interesting properties.
It is also a plethory.
For more on this, see Schur functor.
It also works when k has characteristic p and n is not divisible by p.
Apart from this, the field matters a lot.
One can study symmetric functions in any characteristic, or over any integral domain.

Type theory which is not extensional is called intensional type theory.
The origin of the names “extensional” and “intensional” is somewhat confusing.
In fact they refer to the behavior of the definitional equality.
However, we can derive this with the induction rule for identity types.
Extensional type theory is often presented in this form.
Extensional Martin-Löf type theory does not have decidable type checking.
See intensional type theory for more on this.
Our results certainly apply to most of the Majorana experiments during 2012–2021 in the literature.
At the same time, the amount of data is extremely narrow.
The claims of the discovery of Majorana have been overblown and are false.

I don’t believe in any other system it has been discovered either.

Taken together, all generalized cup products organize into the sequence operad.
We are now ready to define generalized cup products.
(See Lemma 2.12, Definition 2.13, and Definition 2.14 in Cochain.)
Thus, in the sequence operad such degenerate operations must be modded out.
The remaining operations form a basis of the sequence operad.
(See Remark 2.11 in Cochain.)
This must satisfy some axioms:
Centred: The principal ultrafilter F x={A|x∈A} at x converges to x;
Isotone: If F⊆G and F→x, then G→x;
In light of (2), it follows that F∩G→x itself.
It follows that F→x if and only if F∩F x does.
(But that is sort of a tongue twister.)
In this way, convergence spaces form a concrete category Conv.
Here we follow the terminology of Lowen-Colebunders.
In general, this convergence space does not fit into any of the examples below.
A pseudotopological space is a convergence space satisfying the star property:
Note that every pretopological space is pseudotopological.
A convergence space is topological if it comes from a topology on S.
In this way, the definitions below are all suggested by theorems about topological spaces.
Every Cauchy space is a convergence space.
The improper filter (the power set of S) converges to every point.
Equivalently (assuming the ultrafilter theorem), S is compact iff every ultrafilter converges.
That is, it is an algebra for the pointed endofunctor 𝒰.
In this way, PsTop becomes a reflective subcategory of Conv over Set.
For more on these, see pretopological space.
The inclusions Top→PreTop→PsTop→Conv are all inclusions of full subcategories over Set.
That is, they all agree on what a continuous function is.

Let X be a smooth manifold, ω∈Ω n+1(X) a differential form.
See also the definition at multisymplectic geometry.
For X orientable, take ω the volume form.
Then (G,ω ν) is 2-plectic.
Poisson L ∞-algebras To an ordinary symplectic manifold is associated its Poisson algebra.
Underlying this is a Lie algebra, whose Lie bracket is the Poisson bracket.
Here ω^:T xX→T x *X is an isomorphism.
Then (C ∞(X,),{−,−}) is a Poisson algebra.
We can generalize this to n-plectic geometry.
Let (X,ω) be n-plectic for n>1.
Observe that then ω^:T xX→∧ nT xX is no longer an isomorphism in general.
This makes v α uniquely defined.
Denote the collection of Hamiltonian forms by Ω Hamilt n−1(X).
This satisfies k d{α,β}=−ω([v α,v β],−,⋯,−).

This is the Poisson bracket Lie n-algebra.
This appears as (Rogers 11, theorem 3.14).
For n=1 this recovers the definition of the Lie algebra underlying a Poisson algebra.

We have seen some ways in which monomorphisms get along with limits.
Proposition Any morphism from a terminal object is a monomorphism.
The product of monomorphisms is a monomorphism.
Monomorphisms do not get along quite as well with colimits.
At epimorphism there is a long list of variations on the concept of epimorphism.
Frequently, regular and strong monos coincide.
In Ab and in any abelian category, all monomorphisms are normal.
Related concepts isomorphism classes of monomorphism define subobjects.
This iterative conception finds alternative expression in algebraic set theory.
There are also weaker variants of ZFC, especially for constructive and predicative mathematics.

The construction of Čech homology used coverings of the space by families of open sets.
The way the open sets overlap gives ‘combinatorial’ information on the space.
Historically these data were organized as a simplicial complex, rather than a simplicial set.
There are separate entries in nlab for Čech homology and Čech cohomology.
It is also not the (Alexander–Spanier) dual of Čech cohomology.
The two problems can be avoided at the same time using coherent homotopy theory.
The resulting homology is one which is exact.

This position has been voiced famously in Gödel (1947) from a platonist perspective.
The following exposition follows this categorical approach.
Let E be an elementary topos with subobject classifier Ω and natural numbers object N.
This says that no ordinal can be between ω and P(ω) in size.
The Cohen topos will be constructed from the topos Set of sets.
For this, recall that the subobject classifier of Set is 2≔{0,1}.
The technique of constructing such a topos is called forcing.
The dense Grothendieck topology on P is subcanonical.
In other words: For any p∈P we have y(p)=hom(−,p)∈Sh(P,¬¬) Lemma
Let k A×ℕ:{P→Set p↦A×ℕ denote the functor constant on A×ℕ.
Let Ω denote the subobject classifier of Psh(P).
Let Ω ¬¬ denote the subobject classifier of Sh(P,¬¬).
Recall that Ω ¬¬ is given by the equalizer Ω ¬¬=eq(id Ω,¬¬).
The associated-sheaf functor sends g to a monomorphism in the Cohen topos.
Actually, the GCH holds in L as well.

Such a set of rules is called “organon of this or that science”.
In modern language this is the methodology? of a scientific discipline.
Kant then notes the difference between cognition a priori and transcendental cognition.
The former is merely any cognition obtained without recourse to intuition.
The latter is cognition concerning the possibility or use of cognition a priori.
A general criterion of truth found in general logic is self-contradictory.
Now general logic, as a putative organon, is called dialectic.”
For without intuition all of our cognition would lack objects and therefore remain completely empty.
The use of the pure understanding would in this case therefore be dialectical.
explains the transcendental deduction as follows:
Kant begins by describing the way in which the manifold of intuition is formed:
(B148) the categories are rules regarding how understanding may occur.
Such representations may be though of as states of the mind.
The word ”concept“ itself could already lead us to this remark.
The crucial point is this unity of consciousness.
Kant speaks also of a unity of rule that “determines every manifold”.
When taking sets as object the rules should be some kind of relation.
This is to say for our cognition (Erkenntnis) thereof.
These are the pure concepts of the understanding we sought.
Further one should remark that a priori concepts are distinguished by their numerical unity.
Kant elaborates on this distinction in the next book.
The idea is to assign each moment of time, i.e. impression, a model.

Let F be the endofunctor F(X)=1+X.
Observe that T is an equivalence relation that contains S and therefore R.
Thus N is a natural numbers object.
Then F(1) is a NNO in 𝒮, by definition of an NNO.

However, not all different gauge potentials describe different physics.
And it is not quite a smooth space itself, but a smooth groupoid:
One says that λ induces a gauge transformation from A to A′.
We write λ:A→≃A′ to reflect this.
So the configuration space of electromagnetism does not just have points and coordinate systems.
But it turns out that this is too little information to correctly capture physics.
This is the discrete gauge groupoid for U-parameterized collections of fields.
It refines the gauge group, which is recoverd as its fundamental group:
This is the case precisely if d Xλ=0, hence if λ is contant along X.
We then also want to consider a smooth action groupoid.
We call them smooth groupoids.

Recall the following definitions from differential topology.
In particular, the set of regular values is dense in N.
The notions of presheaf, site and sheaf can be formulated internal to any topos.
The ordinary such notions are recovered by internalization into Set.
This we spell out in Explicit definition.
(Also called an “indexed functor” between indexed categories“.)
Suppose moreover that ℂ is equipped with the structure of an internal site.

This appears for instance as (KadisonRingrose, theorem 4.4.5).
Define a morphism (−)∘ψ(a):C(sp(a))→C(X) by f↦f∘ψ(a).
This is a continuous *-algebra homomorphism.
Therefore so is the composite ϕ:C(sp(a))→(−)∘ψ(a)C(X)→ψ −1⟨a⟩↪A.
And this satisfies ϕ(ι)=ψ −1(ι∘ψ(a))=ψ −1ψ(a)=a.
This establishes the existence of ϕ.

Here, we consider the linear situation.
These are: C ∞(N,E) is a convenient vector space.
The space C ∞(N,E) is a Frölicher space and a vector space.
We want to know that these two structures are compatible.
Instead, we shall look for the weakest suitable topology.
Thus we are searching for a suitable family of linear functions C ∞(N,E)→ℝ.
This leads us to the definition of the family.
We start with ϕ∈E * and α∈C ∞(ℝ,N).
These define a linear function C ∞(N,E)→C ∞(ℝ,ℝ) by composition: g↦ϕ∘g∘α.
We write this dual as C ∞(N,E) *∞.
An immediate consequence of the construction is the following result.
Note that we say bounded and not continuous.
Neither of these is necessary for what we want to do, though.
Its associated Frölicher space is C ∞(N,E).
We have to be careful here with where things are happening.
We consider a curve c:ℝ→C ∞(N,E).
This curve defines a map cˇ:ℝ×N→E by cˇ(r,x)=c(r)(x).
Let us start by assuming that c is C ∞.
Hence the curve s↦(ϕ∘c(s)∘α) is a C ∞-map ℝ→C ∞(ℝ,ℝ).
Now let a:ℝ→ℝ×N be a smooth curve.
As this holds for all a∈C ∞(ℝ×N), cˇ:ℝ×N→E is smooth.
Thus c is a smooth map ℝ→C ∞(N,E).
Now let us assume that c is smooth.
Then the associated function cˇ:ℝ×N→E is smooth.
Now we transfer b^ to a smooth map b:ℝ→C ∞(N,E).
It then follows that c′=b.
This shows that c is C ∞.
In the linear situation, we prefer to work with the bornologification of this topology.
In the smooth situation, we work with the curvaceous topology.
Let E be a convenient vector space.
Let U be a 0-neighbourhood in E in the c ∞-topology.
The c ∞-topology is the curvaceous topology.
This is the set {t∈ℝ:c(t)(N)⊆U}={t∈ℝ:c^(t,x)∈U∀x∈N}
Now c^:ℝ×N→E is smooth and so c^ −1(U) is open in ℝ×N.
For this example, the topologies involved are all the “standard” ones.
Hence the set {f:ℝ→ℝ:lvertf(t)rvert<1} is not a 0-neighbourhood.
This follows from the functorality of the C ∞(N,−)-construction.

The strongest version of extensionality is motivated by the study of terminal coalgebras and coinduction.
Let S be equipped with a binary relation ≺.
Thus, all forms of extensionality are equivalent for well-founded relations.
This implies that the type S is an h-set.
However, ≺ is not strongly extensional.
Removing well-foundedness here gives a theory of ill-founded ordinal numbers.
Finally, on the set 2 again, let 1⊀0 but all other relationships hold.
Then sets so equipped form a category with simulations as morphisms.
This leads to the model of sets equipped with extensional relations as transitive sets.

A valuation ring O is a local ring.

Then (x+y)/y belongs to O as well.

A valuation ring O is integrally closed in its field of fractions F.
Examples such as these are often rich sources of rings and fields with infinitesimal elements.

This can be interpreted in several ways mathematically.
Ideally, we would like a condition equivalent to Φ being a diffeomorphism.
Some conditions to consider are the following.
S⊆M is a submanifold if and only if Φ(S)⊆N is a submanifold.
So each object has its own family of test objects.
Closely related to this is the question of automorphisms of a category.
This extends more generally.
For cardinality reasons, Φ(U) cannot be zero dimensional everywhere.
Indeed, it can be zero dimensional at at most a countable number of points.
Choose a point p∈U such that dim Φ(p)Φ(U)≠0.
We choose an open set V with p∈V⊆V¯⊆U.
By assumption, Φ(V) is a submanifold of ℝ m and Φ(p)∈Φ(V).
Thus p must be an isolated point of Φ −1(T).
Thus at those points where dimΦ(U)≠0, it must be of dimension m.
Suppose that there is such a point, say p.
Then Φ(p) is an isolated point from Φ(U).
Hence there cannot be any such points.
As the same holds for Φ −1, we conclude that Φ is a homeomorphism.
This is the generalization of the notion of over-category in ordinary category theory.

The intrinsic cohomology of such H is a nonabelian sheaf cohomology.
The space X itself is naturally identified with the terminal object X=*∈Sh (∞,1)(X).
This is the petit topos incarnation of X.
This is HTT, theorem 7.1.0.1.
See also (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-sheaves for more.
Suppose that X is a locally compact CW complex.
One can also identify its image as consisting of the locally constant (∞,1)-sheaves.
This is a homotopical version of the identification of covering spaces with locally constant sheaves.
This is discussed in detail in the section geometric realization at path ∞-groupoid.
twisted generalized cohomology theory is conjecturally ∞-categorical semantics of linear homotopy type theory:
Accordingly its derived functor is another way to think of H(X,A).
This is a very general definition.
These in turn correspond to extra properties of the ambient (∞,1)-category.

Let 𝒞 and 𝒟 be categories with pullbacks.
(This implies in particular that T preserves monos.)
A number of examples of taut functors can be deduced by applying the following observation.
Thus ϕ is an isomorphism, which completes the proof.
A similar proof shows that weakly cartesian natural transformations are also taut.
The ultrafilter endofunctor on Set is taut.

In fact, the ultrafilter monad is taut.
Similarly, the filter monad on Set is taut.

In particular, an analytic monad is taut.
As an exception, we have
The double (contravariant) power set functor P∘P op:Set→Set is not taut.

This further induces an involution Mod(T)→Mod(T) on the category of models.
This involution (−) op:Cat→Cat is also known as abstract duality.
More general still is a concrete duality induced by a dualizing object.
Nevertheless, many adjunctions come packaged in “dual pairs”.
Such objects are known as dualizing objects.

Hence basic localizers are a tool for homotopy theory modeled on category theory.
The definition is due to Grothendieck:
The term in French is localisateur fondamental, which is sometimes translated as fundamental localizer.
All this I believe is justification enough for the definition above.
This weaker notion is sometimes called a weak basic localizer.
The class of functors inducing an isomorphism on connected components is a basic localizer.
(These are the weak equivalences in the Thomason model structure.)
This includes all the previous examples.
(These are the weak equivalences of the canonical model structure.)
If W is a basic localizer, we define the following related classes.
We sometimes refer to functors in W as weak equivalences.
A category A is (W-)aspherical if A→1 is in W.
Thus the second axiom says exactly that any category with a terminal object is aspherical.
Thus the third axiom says exactly that every local weak equivalence is a weak equivalence.
We observe the following.
An aspherical functor is a weak equivalence.
If u has a right adjoint, then it is aspherical.
In particular, any left or right adjoint is a weak equivalence.
See Proposition 1.1.22 in (Maltsiniotis 05).
It follows that there is a unique smallest basic localizer.
The following was conjectured by Grothendieck and proven by Denis-Charles Cisinski.
A completely different proof is given in Corollaire 4.2.19 in (Cisinski 06)

of c, for each point x∈U∩D, we have f(x)∈V.
The two notions of limit can each be defined in terms of the other:
For c∉D, then the two definitions are equivalent.
These limits can be defined as limits of a filter:
We may generalize further from relations to spans.
In particular, limits of spans to a Hausdorff space are unique.
Limits of spans are no more general than limits of relations:
Finally, we may impose restrictions on the limit:
(In all of these, the French and English definitions agree.)
(For example, f(c +) is lim x→cx>cf(x).)
Then this subset always exists; it just might be empty.
Sometimes a capitalized Lim is used to emphasize that this is now a set.
Again, we can add x∈C if we wish to take the limit in C.
Some basic relationships between the definitions are in the definitions section.
In this way, pointwise continuity may be defined using limits.
There is a Chain Rule for limits.

Of course, in a Boolean category, every object is decidable.
This is indeed the case, by this Prop..
But by definition of the weak equivalences of simplicial presheaves these are objectwise weak equivalences.

It was first observed (without the terminology of ℱ-categories) by Johnstone.
Note that a priori these composites are themselves also only pseudo/lax ℱ-natural.

Definition A double category D is an internal category in Cat.
Similarly, a double groupoid is an internal groupoid in Grpd.
However, these definitions obscure the essential symmetry of the concepts.
This makes it clear why ϕ is called a ‘square’.
(In this example, the two edge categories coincide.
Double categories with this property are called edge-symmetric.)
We can also restrict the commutative squares considered, such as taking only pullback squares.
We call these its vertical 2-category and horizontal 2-category.
Passage to derived functors is a functor on this double category.
A pseudo double category is a weakly internal category in the 2-category Cat.
Many naturally occurring examples, such as Prof, are pseudo double categories.
This is Theorem 7.5 of Grandis and Paré‘s paper Limits in double categories.
Double bicategories were defined in Dominic Verity‘s thesis.
This approach avoids the coherence problems by being completely “unbiased.”
This presents something of an obstacle to practical applications.
In particular, this applies to commutative squares in a 1-category.
The same is true for double categories of adjunctions.
The same is true for more general arrangements in a double category of pullback squares.
The proof of this is not quite as trivial, but fairly straightforward.
In any fibrant double category, all arrangements can be composed.
The cartesian cells in a fibrant double category certainly allow such a factorization.
This is natural when considering double categories such as proarrow equipments.
Likewise we have cartesian double categories, which are cartesian objects in DblCat.

Let X be a locally path connected space.
Then the path connected component P x⊂X over any point x∈X is an open set.

This would be in contradiction with the assumption that U is connected.
Hence we have a proof by contradiction.
(Euclidean space is locally path-connected)
(open subspace of locally path-connected space is locally path connected)
(circle is locally path-connected)
But these open intervals are locally path connected by example ,

(Once you're talking about rational numbers, things are manageable.)
Property (2) is motivated because inclusion is transitive.
The really interesting property is property (3).
The opens form a sub-poset of the power set 𝒫(ℚ×ℚ).
This poset is in fact a frame, as we will now show.
The bottom open, denoted ∅, is the binary relation ≥.
The same argument applies as before.
Finally, we must check the distributive law G∩⋃ kH k⊆⋃ k(G∩H k).
In other words, we interpret ‘⊆’ literally as comparing subsets of ℚ.
It is straightforward to check that this condition does indeed define an open.
Notice that (a,b)=∅ whenever a≥b.
We can actually generalise this somewhat.
If a<b, then a∈L or b∈U.
We have x∈ℝ since its lower and upper sets are inhabited.
(The converse, that x∈G and x∈H if x∈G∩H, is immediate.
We think of this condition as defining a closed set to which x does belong.
We also have that x∉ℝ always fails, and x∉G∩H if x∉G or x∉H.
(I should check this.)
The proof is almost embarrassingly simple.
This is always a valid zigzag, so K=ℝ.
Therefore, the finite collection 𝒟 covers the unit interval.
So the Heine–Borel theorem applies only to bounded closed intervals.
Defining functions in the locale of real numbers
Using the rational numbers
The first approach uses existing functions already defined on the rational numbers ℚ.
Suppose that one has a locally uniformly continuous function f:ℚ→ℚ.
Using the Dedekind real numbers.
The other approach is via using existing functions defined on the Dedekind real numbers ℝ.
That is to say, internal congruences in Def(T) are not generally effective.
This is sometimes called the coding of definable sets.
(Indeed, pretoposes are just toposes that might be missing some power objects.
If a first-order theory eliminates imaginaries, it interprets infinitely many constants.
In particular, when T eliminates imaginaries, its syntactic category has finite coproducts.
In particular, 2 exists, and all definable subsets have definable classifying maps.
The following characterization is due to Moshe Kamensky, and can be found here.
Let E⇉tsX be a definable equivalence relation on X.
Let ϕ E:X×X→2 classify E↪(s,t)X×X.
Let y:Def(T)↪Def(T)^ be the Yoneda embedding.
Then yϕ E has a product-exponential transpose yϕ E¯:yX→2 X.
By compactness, we can replace I with a finite subset I 0⊆I.
Since I is filtered, there exists a weak coproduct j to I 0.
On the other hand, suppose we have elimination of imaginaries.
The same proof works if we replace inner homs with power objects.
Let M⊧T be a model.
So automorphisms of models “already see” imaginaries.
To make things concrete, let’s consider the structure (ℤ,+).

This says that the fiber of P→X over each point looks like the group G.
In its concrete incarnation as a stack, P is called a G-gerbe.
The fiber of such an ∞-bundle is the loop space object ΩA.

The typical fiber of such a 2-bundle looks like H.
This underlying object is the G-gerbe.
This is the general nonsense underlying the concept of gerbe.

For concreteness let us consider the topos of quivers.

Given an abelian monoid R, the idempotent elements form a submonoid Idem(R).

we realize that the bracketing from above is essentially meaningless syntax.
Consider the interchange law from above, but replacing some of the arrows with identities.

On the blog the concept was mentioned in Urs Schreiber, (co)-traces
This is a version of Gödel’s incompleteness theorem.
); the following are equivalent.
S admits all coproducts indexed by its own homsets.
S admits all products indexed by its own homsets.
Thus, it remains to prove that 2 implies 1.
So suppose that S admits coproducts indexed by its homsets.
Consider the “global sections” functor Γ=S(1,−):S→Set.
Well-pointedness implies that this functor is faithful and conservative.
From now on we identify it with its essential image.
Let X∈S and suppose that Y⊂X is a subset of X.
Hence S is closed in Set under subsets.
A more direct proof of the corollary is possible.
We show as in the theorem that Γ is a full inclusion.
But since j x=j y, their pullback is also 1.
Since coproducts in a topos are stable under pullback, 1=∐ XU x.
It is also locally small, complete and cocomplete.
In particular, the corollary fails to hold intuitionistically.
The difference of these two dimensions is the analytical index of the operator.
By topological K-theory one can associate to it also a topological index.
The Atiyah-Singer index theorem say that this two indexes coincide.
It is a rule which implies UIP as a theorem.
We denote path types by a= Ab and dependent path types by a= i.Ab.
Another synonym is (0,1)-category.

A poset is a thin category.
In particular so are (semi)lattices, Heyting algebras and frames.
The crucial generalization is that the basic shapes here may have non-trivial automorphisms.
Let 𝒞 be a category with small limits and colimits.
See Joyal-Tierney calculus for more on these kinds of objects and morphisms.
Let S be a (Berger-Moerdijk)-generalized Reedy category.
Write [S,𝒞] for the category of presheaves on S op with values in 𝒞.
We introduce the union of these categories over all objects of a fixed degree.
For n∈ℕ, let X∈[S,𝒞].
This is (Ber-Moer, lemma 6.2).
This is (Ber-Moer, lemma 6.3).
Clearly X itself is the inital such object.
With the above notation we have t k=t l∘q k.
Def. indeed defines a model structure.
It remains to show that the relevant lifting and factorization properties hold.
This we discuss in a list of lemmas below in Lifting and Factorization.
We work with the “global” latching objects from above.
In the generalized Reedy structure, def. , the following holds.
This is (Ber-Moer, lemma 5.2, lemma 5.4).
We show the first clause.
Similarly Y 0→X 0 is a fibration there.
One sees that this is indeed the fiber product as claimed.
We show this by induction over n, using the skeletal filtration def. .
This is (Ber-Moer, prop. 5.6).
Conversely, assume that all v n here are weak equivalences.
So assume now that all u k for k<n are weak equivalences.
Accordingly, so is u n, being its pushout.
Therefore, by induction, all u n are, in particular, weak equivalences.
The argument for fibrations is dual to this.
This is (Ber-Moer, page 18).
The other case (cofibration followed by acyclic fibration) works dually.
This is (Ber-Moer, lemma 6.4).
This is (Ber-Moer, prop. 6.5).
The case of coskeleta is dual.
By lemma it is sufficient to consider the case sk nX→sk ∞X=X.
For k≤n, the horizontal morphisms are both isomorphisms.
Finally, that sk nX is cofibrant follows directly from lemma .
There is an obvious forgetful functor CCSG(C)→C.
The category of pointed sets can also be given a cartesian monoidal structure.
Any Church monoid is a relevance monoidal category whose underlying category is a poset.
Therefore properly discontinuous actions are also called covering space actions (Hatcher).
Just as natural transformations go between functors, ananatural transformations go between anafunctors.
That is, a ‘natural transformation’ between anafunctors unambigously means an ananatural transformation.
Form the strict 2-pullback P≔F¯× CG¯ and consider the strict functors P→F¯→D and P→G¯→D.
Of course, an ananatural isomorphism is an invertible ananatural transformation.
A ‘minimum object’ would be instead an initial object.
This is not the definition we take here!
Indeed, one might call ℰ-minimal objects ℳ-maximal.
We call these simply maximal objects.
Every category also admits (𝒞,ℐ) as a trivial orthogonal factorization system.
We call these simply minimal objects.
These notions recover the order-theoretic ones when 𝒞 is a preorder.
The following are equivalent: An object M:𝒞 is ℳ-minimal
Every morphism h:A→M is in ℰ.
Dually, the following are equivalent: An object M:𝒞 is ℳ-maximal
Every morphism h:M→A is in ℳ.
In fact, suppose 𝒞 has initial object 0 and suppose M:𝒞 is minimal.
M:0→M has to be an isomorphism, so that M≅0.
However, unlike in preorders, not all initial objects are minimal!
A minimal initial object is known as strict initial object.
A maximal terminal object is known as strict terminal object.
Let 𝒞 be a category equipped with an (ℰ,ℳ)-factorization system.
This category inherits the epi-mono factorization system from Set.
Let M,M′ be minimal in 𝒞.
Then π M:M×M′→M and π M′:M×M′→M′ are both invertible, proving M≅M×M′≅M′.
Let 𝒞 be a category with finite products.
Then if M is minimal it is weakly initial.
Let M:𝒞 be such minimal object.
Let A be any other object in 𝒞.
Then, by hypothesis on M, the projection π M:M×A→M is invertible.
Notice we can’t say anything about the uniqueness of these morphisms w A:M→A.
In general, they are not even functorially chosen.
It is this force that holds a piece of matter together.
Let 𝒞 be a category equipped with a notion of homotopy between its morphisms.
Both are reviewed in May 1967, Cor. 29.10.
Explicit description of the homotopy operator is given in Gonzalez-Diaz & Real 1999.
These are typically conceived as stacks: these are then called moduli stacks.
Typically these are demanded to be Deligne-Mumford stacks.

This defines a cofibrantly generated model category structure on Operad.
This is due to (Weiss 07).

Henceforth we fix two universes U and V with U∈V.
We will refer to this as the logical enlargement.
Let’s denote this category by ⇑ ΦC.
But κCts(C op,SET) is precisely ⇑ ΦC.
For example, the logical and locally presentable enlargements of Top are quite different.
We call this the accessible enlargement.
This entry is about the notion of spans/correspondences which generalizes that of relations.
For spans in vector spaces or modules, see linear span.
(The word “correspondence” is also sometimes used for a profunctor.)
A span that has a cocone is called a coquadrable span.
If the category C has pullbacks, we can compose spans.
Then Span 1(C) is a dagger category.
Next assume that C is a cartesian monoidal category.
We discuss the universal property that characterizes 2-categories of spans.
This is due to Hermida 1999.
(See also this MO discussion).
Relation to relations Correspondences may be seen as generalizations of relations.
See at relation and at Rel for more on this.
Under this identification composition of spans indeed corresponds to matrix multiplication.
The Weinstein symplectic category has as morphisms Lagrangian correspondences between symplectic manifolds.
More generally symplectic dual pairs are correspondences between Poisson manifolds.
A category of correspondences is a refinement of a category Rel of relations.

Let c:I→F be a constant function.
This defines an “underlying topological space” of X.
For toposes See open subtopos.
There are then multiple ways to define “open subset”.
In addition, the constructor for B can refer to the constructor for A.
Inductive-inductive types are related to inductive-recursive types.
Importantly, inductive-inductive types have an initial algebra semantics with respect to dialgebras.
Hugunin provides a reduction of an inductive-inductive type to an inductive type.
This construction is conjectured to generalize to all inductive-inductive types.
This is also called the generalized tangent bundle of X.
Dually one speaks of generalized homology.
Since this has different presentations, there are corresponding different versions of suitable axioms:
Notice however that “classical homotopy category” is already ambiguous.
Moreover, historically, these conditions have been decomposed in several numbers of ways.
Write Top CW */ for the corresponding category of pointed topological spaces.
Write Ab ℤ for the category of integer-graded abelian groups.
We may rephrase this more intrinsically and more generally:
Let 𝒞 be an (∞,1)-category with (∞,1)-pushouts, and with a zero object 0∈𝒞.
Write Σ:𝒞→𝒞:X↦0⊔X0 for the corresponding suspension (∞,1)-functor.
See at long exact sequence in generalized cohomology.
We identify Top CW↪Top CW ↪ by X↦(X,∅).
We say E • is additive if it takes coproducts to products:
Hence the excision axiom implies E •(X,B)⟶≃E •(A,A∩B).
Conversely, suppose E • satisfies the alternative condition.
Let E • be an cohomology theory, def. , and let A↪X.
Consider U≔(Cone(A)−A×{0})↪Cone(A), the cone on A minus the base A.
Define a reduced cohomology theory, def. (E˜ •,σ) as follows.
This is clearly functorial.
By lemma we have an isomorphism E˜ •(X∪Cone(A))=E •(X∪Cone(A),{*})⟶≃E •(X,A).
Let (E˜ •,σ) be a reduced cohomology theory, def. .
For excision, it is sufficient to consider the alternative formulation of lemma .
For CW-inclusions, this follows immediately with lemma .
That however is isomorphic to the unreduced mapping cone of the original inclusion.
With this the natural isomorphism is given by lemma .
As before, this is isomorphic to the unreduced mapping cone of the point inclusion.
Finally we record the following basic relation between reduced and unreduced cohomology:
Hence this is a split exact sequence and the statement follows.
The first condition on a Brown functor holds by definition of H •.
This means that the four lemma applies to this diagram.
Inspection shows that this implies the claim.
This entry is about pretopologies on sites.
Every Grothendieck pretopology generates a genuine Grothendieck topology.
Different pretopologies may give rise to the same topology.
See Definition II.1.3 in SGA 4. Definition
Let C be a category.
Every family consisting of a single isomorphism {V→≅U} is a covering family;
However, many coverages that arise in practice are actually already Grothendieck pretopologies.
An example for the category Diff of manifolds is the pretopology of surjective submersions.
All of these have covering families consisting of single morphisms.
Recall that a cocycle on 𝔞 is a closed element in CE(𝔞).
more generally its differential is again in the shifted copy.
But the condition for an invariant polynomial is stronger than these ad-invariances.
Every decomposable invariant polynomial, def. , is horizontally equivalent to 0.
Therefore cs 1∧P 1 exhibits a horizontal equivalence P 1∧P 2∼0.
Horizontal equivalence classes of invariant polynomials on 𝔤 form a graded vector space inv(𝔤) V.
By prop. it follows that inv(𝔤) V contains only indecomposable invariant polynomials.
Write 𝔤 μ 3 for the corresponding string Lie 2-algebra.
Now the indecomposable invariant polynomials are those of 𝔤 and one additional one: g.
On reductive Lie algebras Proposition Let 𝔤 be a reductive Lie algebra.
Let 𝔞=𝔤 be an ∞-Lie algebra.
This we call a Chern-Simons element for ⟨−⟩.
This element cs will in general not sit entirely in the shifted copy.
Its restriction μ:=cs| ∧ •𝔤 *∈CE(𝔤) is a ∞-Lie algebra cocycle.
We say this is in transgression with ⟨−⟩.
This is described in the section On semisimple Lie algebras.
This defines the simplicial presheaf that classifies connections on ∞-bundles.
The first one is a tad more detailed.)

Therefore all objects A are terminal.
□ Assume from now on that E is a nondegenerate ETCS category.
By strong extensionality, there exists x:1→U distinguishing these classifying maps.
Let 0→1 denote this subset.
The classifying map 1→P1 of 0⊆1 is the truth value we call “false”.
□ Corollary 1. For any X, the set 0×X is initial.
If there exists f:X→0, then X is initial.
Hence X is isomorphic to an initial object 0×X. □
If X¬≅0, then there exists an element x:1→X.
As in ordinary set theory, we will construct these as disjoint unions.
So, let A,B⊆X be subsets.
Externally, in terms of subsets, this corresponds to the condition U×A⊆[C].
We need to construct the subsets {C∈PX:A⊆C},{C∈PX:B⊆C}.
Let me take a moment to examine what this diagram means exactly.
Here is a useful general principle for doing internal logic calculations.
Now apply Lemma 2 to complete the proof.
By the adjunction, the inequality (*) implies (y⇒b)≤(x⇒b). □
(Actually, we need only show A⊆⋂{C∈PX:A⊆C}.
We’ll do that first, and then show full equality.)
So we just have to prove (1).
We are required to show that {x∈X:∀ S∈PX(A⊆S∧B⊆S)⇒x∈ XS}⊆C.
We will use the notation X+Y for a disjoint union.
So this equalizer E is empty.
But notice that ⟨h,1⟩:A→X×A equalizes this pair of maps.
Therefore we have a map A→E≅0.
By Corollary 2 above, we infer A≅0.
Any two disjoint unions of X,Y are canonically isomorphic.
Suppose i:X→Z←Y:j is a disjoint union.
Next, we show that ϕ is monic.
Therefore i⊆¬cj⊆¬c where ¬=(−⇒0):Sub(Z)→Sub(Z) is the negation operator.
This contradicts the assumption that the topos is nondegenerate.
Thus we have shown that ϕ must be monic.
The proof is now complete.
Let f:X→B, g:Y→B be given functions.
Hence h:X+Y→B extends f and g.
I think that’s enough for one day.
I will continue to explore the categorical structure and logic of ETCS next time.
One way to see the isomorphism Spin(6)≅SU(4) is as follows.
Since SU(V) is connected we in fact have ρ:SU(V)→SO(Λ + 2V).
Since dρ is nonzero and SU(4) is simple, dρ must be injective.
Since dim(SU(4))=15=dim(SO(6)), dρ must also be surjective.
Thus SU(4) is a double cover of SO(6), and SU(4)≅Spin(6).
An algebraic group is linear iff it is affine.
An algebraic group scheme is affine if the underlying scheme is affine.

Formalization of mathematical reasoning can be presented in different forms.

The phrase “natural deduction” is not always used to mean the same thing.
There is significant overlap between the two meanings, but they are not identical.
More generally, natural deduction with computation rules gives a formulation of computation.

Natural deduction also generally involves hypothetical judgments or reasoning from assumptions.
With this notation, the introduction rule for ⇒ can be written as: A⊢B⊢A⇒B.
We also begin the deduction with the axiom A⊢A (the identity rule?).
Or: B is a type in context A, a type dependent on A.

Accordingly, we will speak of homotopy van Kampen theorems and strict van Kampen theorems.
We can regard the classical theorem as being a statement about fundamental groupoids as follows.
But we can easily make it a strict van Kampen theorem as well.
This strict pushout is therefore equivalent to Π 1(X′).
This becomes evident when generalizing to higher homotopy van Kampen theorems.
Note that the theorem about groupoids does not reduce to a theorem about groups.
In certain situations, strict colimits of groupoids are also 2-colimits.
We can then prove the theorem by proving each of these three parts separately.
This is essentially accomplished in Farjoun.
See Dugger-Isaksen 01. Theorem
Then U≅V≅(0,1) are contractible, while U∩V≅(0,1)⊔(0,1).

This entry is about tangent vectors on differentiable manifolds and the bundle they form.
For the tangent function see there.
A tangent vector field on X is a section of TX.
Below we give first the traditional definitions in ordinary differential geometry.
(tangency is equivalence relation)
The two relations in def. are equivalence relations and they coincide.
Finally, that either relation is an equivalence relation is immediate.
Let X be a differentiable manifold and x∈X a point.
The set of all tangent vectors at x∈X is denoted T xX.
In summary this makes TX→X a differentiable vector bundle.
We need to produce disjoint openneighbourhoods of these points in TX.
Now to see that TX is paracompact.
Let {U i⊂TX} i∈I be an open cover.
We need to find a locally finite refinement.
That this is an open cover refining the original one is clear.
We need to see that it is locally finite.
So let (x,v→)∈TX.
This shows that TX is paracompact.

Therefore we have the following more general definition.
f is a formally unramified morphism if this is a (-1)-truncated morphism.
An order-(-2) formally unramified morphism is equivalently a formally étale morphism.
Even more generally we can formulate formal smoothness in H th: Definition
Every equivalence is formally étale.
The composite of two formally étale morphisms is itself formally étale.
Any retract of a formally étale morphisms is itself formally étale.
The first statement follows since ∞-pullbacks are well defined up to quivalence.
If f and g are formally étale then both small squares are pullback squares.
This implies the fourth claim.
Hence p is formally étale.

The crucial piece of the puzzle is that we cannot tell which is which.
Hence the fibre at p −1(1) is [0,1].
Now consider what happens as we move around the circle.
Hence we have a Möbius strip.

A pre-additive category is an Ab-enriched category with a zero object.
Pre-additive categories are part of a sequence of additive and abelian categories.

Geometers prefer to say “stable under base change”.
Therefore for instance fibrations and acyclic fibrations in a model category are stable under pullback.
Thus, the right class in any orthogonal factorization system is stable under pullback.
If the left class is also pullback-stable, the OFS is called stable.

Introducing the 4d TQFT Walker-Wang model:
This generalizes the notion of tangent space of a differentiable manifold.
Generalised smooth spaces are, as the name suggests, generalisations of smooth manifolds.
They share many common properties and constructions with manifolds.
One of the most basic constructions applied to manifolds is that of the tangent space.
In particular, it may not even be a vector space.
However, it will always be a kind of partial vector space.
It is also possible to define “higher” kinematic tangent spaces.
However, for more general spaces it can provide more tangent vectors.
But there are curves α with α(0)=0 and α′(0)=0 but α″(0)≠0.
These curves define a tangent vector that “sees” the inward direction from 0.
Let X be a smooth space.
Let x∈X be a point.
As mentioned in the introduction, this need not be a vector space.
However, it will always have some of the structure of a vector space.
What fails is the existence of a globally defined addition.
It follows from the definition that if u+v exists, it is unique.
This is because all of our categories are cocomplete and cartesian closed.
With this in mind, we can define higher level kinematic tangent spaces.
Let X be a smooth space.
Let x∈X be a point.
The kth kinematic tangent bundle is defined similarly.
This defines a diagram indexed by the poset ℕ with divisibility as the order.
The structure of the higher kinematic tangent spaces is somewhat complicated.
In the following we shall concentrate on the first kinematic tangent space.
Let X,Y be smooth spaces.
There is a natural isomorphism T(X×Y)→TX×TY.
Together with the other projection, we get a map: T(X×Y)→TX×TY.
For the other direction, we need to consider curves.
Let f:X×Y→ℝ be a smooth function.
As this map is smooth, its derivative agrees with the vector of partial derivatives.
That is to say, we compute the derivative of: s↦f(α(s),β(0)).
Then the above function agrees with g∘α.
From this we see that the map T(X×Y)→TX×TY is injective.
For this, we use the natural isomorphism C ∞(ℝ,X)×C ∞(ℝ,Y)≅C ∞(ℝ,X×Y.
For mapping spaces, we have an obvious map in one direction.
A tangent vector at a map is an infinitesimal deformation of that map.
Evaluation yields deformations at each point which fit together to give a family of deformations.
A simple diagram chase shows that everything involved is smooth.
There is a natural transformation TC ∞(S,X)→C ∞(S,TX).
The natural transformation is build up as follows.
In higher category theory, the adjective complicial appears in two rather distinct meanings.
In particular complicial is much more special than simplicial in this meaning.
…This makes the complicial theory rather different from derived algebraic geometry.
This is called the adjoint representation.

Classical monoids are of course just monoids in Set with the cartesian product.
The natural requirement is that it be a monoidal category.
In fact, it suffices if C is a multicategory.
Monoid structure is preserved by lax monoidal functors.
See lax monoidal functor for more details.
For special properties of categories of monoids, see category of monoids.
A monoid object in Ho(Top) is an H-monoid?.
This is a version of the Eckmann-Hilton argument.
The category of pointed sets has a monoidal structure given by the smash product.
A monoid object in this monoidal category is an absorption monoid.
These are examples of monoids internal to monoidal categories.
This often called a monad in B.
The interval category is the walking arrow.
The interval groupoid is the walking isomorphism.
Equivalences in a 2-category are represented by the walking equivalence.

The initial pointed monoid (in Set) is the natural numbers equipped with 1∈ℕ.
Nevertheless, the first sits inside the second!
We will use the characterization of initial objects via cones over the identity.
Now take C to be the walking pointed monoid C M above.
It does often happen that this disconnect can be bridged.
Similar arguments apply in other cases.
There is no uniqueness requirement for q,r.
There might be multiple such division and remainder functions for the commutative ring R.

Every Euclidean ring is a Bézout ring, and every prefield is an Euclidean ring.
The integers ℤ are a Euclidean ring.
An extended real number is usually a real number, but it might be ±∞.
The latter kind forms a quotient space of the former.
This naturally defines the sort of extended real number in which ∞≠−∞.
For each b∈U, there is some a∈U such that a<b.
An extended Dedekind cut is bounded if instead L and U are both inhabited.
The bounded cuts are the usual Dedekind cuts that represent real numbers.
So the only change is that we no longer require this boundedness condition.
The space of extended real numbers in this sense is often denoted ℝ¯.
Geometrically, this is a line segment?, the extended real number line segment.
This naturally defines the sort of extended real number in which ∞=−∞.
(By ≠ we mean the usual apartness relation on real numbers.)
The nontrivial ratios a∶0 for a≠0 are all equivalent and represent ∞.
(The ratio 0∶0 is considered trivial and does not represent any extended real number.
If we want to include it, then we get a wheel.)
Geometrically, this is a circle, the extended real number circle.
We can put a linear order on ℝ¯ by setting −∞<x<∞ for any real number x.
(These orders can be defined constructively too, with a little more work.)
Of course, ∞ and −∞ are opposites (additive inverses).
These are all straightforward extensions of the usual definition of addition for Dedekind cuts.
Now ∞ is its own opposite.
These all agree with the additive rule (a∶b)+(c∶d)=(ad+bc∶bd).
(This continues to work even if x is infinite too.)
But now 0⋅±∞ is undefined.
(With 0⋅1=0⋅2 and ∞⋅1=∞⋅2, multiplication is not cancellative either.)
The definitions as phrased above give us located extended real numbers.
Often one considers flat connections only, see at moduli space of flat connections.

Conversely, assume all ℱ→ℰ are m-skeletal.
But γℰ is De Morgan and, therefore, so is im(f)=ℰ.

A cardinal that is not regular is called singular.
Traditionally, one requires regular cardinals to be infinite.
Set <κ is closed under iterated disjoint unions (⨄ iA i).
Set <κ is closed under binary disjoint unions (A⊎B).
These are all variations on the theme of closure under disjoint unions.

However, there is also a different notion of Witt group? and Witt ring.
Rings of Witt vectors are the co-free Lambda-rings.
For more on this see at arithmetic jet space and at Borger's absolute geometry.
The multiplication is defined by means of Witt polynomials w i for every natural number i.
Hence rings of Witt vectors are the co-free Lambda-rings.
Moreover W(−) is representable by ring of symmetric functions, Λ.
The reason is that Λ is the free Lambda-ring on the commutative ring ℤ.
Since Λ is a Hopf algebra, W is a group scheme.
This is explained at Lambda-ring.
Elements from this set are called Teichmüller digits or Teichmüller representatives.
The set T is in bijection with the finite field F p.
In components The ring structure Definition Let k be a commutative ring.

Every monomorphism is a kernel and every epimorphism is a cokernel.

Dually if f is an epimorphism it follows that f≅coker(ker(f)).

More generally, if D has a generator, then C is concrete over D.
It preserves final lifts iff it is left adjoint.
Similarly, we have an indiscrete space with the final structure induced by no maps.
Suppose that D has an initial object 0 D.
Then the discrete space 0 C over 0 D is initial in C.
Similarly, the indiscrete space over a terminal object in D is terminal in C.
More general limits and colimits are constructed in a similar way.

Fix a meaning/model of ∞-groupoid, however weak or strict you wish.
There are various objects that model the abstract notion of 2-groupoid.
A bigroupoid is a bicategory in which all morphisms are equivalences.
Bigroupoids may equivalently be thought of in terms of their Duskin nerves.
These are precisely the Kan complexes that are 2-hypergroupoids.
A 2-hypergroupoid is a model for a 2-groupoid.
This is equivalently a certain type of Grpd-enriched category.
For A an abelian group, there is its double delooping 2-groupoid B 2A.
This is due to (Grothendieck, FGA1)

This is canonically identified with the group of n×n unitary matrices.
Consider the coset quotient projection U(n)⟶U(n+1)⟶U(n+1)/U(n).
Furthermore, example identifies the coset with the (2n+1)-sphere S 2n+1≃U(n+1)/U(n).

This concept of orbifold cohomology does fully reflect the geometric nature of orbifolds.
It also reflects some equivariance aspect.
However, this definition does not reflect Bredon-equivariant cohomology around the orbifold singularities.
The following may serve as intuition for the issue with the nature of orbifolds:
This is the plain quotient *=*/G.
Its intrinsic cohomology accomodates a good notion of orbifold cohomology (SaSc 2020).
The same lecture also introduced motivic integration.
For global quotient orbifolds this is the topological quotient space X/G.
Each of these categories is also commonly denoted Man or Mfd or Diff etc.
The proof for this is spelled out at good open cover.
The sheaf topos over SmoothManifolds is a cohesive topos.
By the discussion at CartSp we have that CartSp smooth is a cohesive site.
By the discussion there the claim follows.
Now CartSp smooth is even an ∞-cohesive site.
This means that it is in particular a local (∞,1)-topos.
See there for more details.
Often one is also interested in spaces with additional structure.
One can also categorify the concept of space.
Here is an outline of the central aspects.
Following Jacob Lurie we call such a 𝒯 a (pre-)geometry .
Every pregeometry 𝒯 gives rise to a geometry 𝒢 – it’s geometric envelope .
We want to be talking about generalized spaces modeled on the objects of 𝒢.
We explain what this means from right to left.
The (∞,1)-category Sh(𝒢) is called an ∞-stack (∞,1)-topos.
Every ∞-stack (∞,1)-topos has a hypercompletion to one of this form.
This discussion here is glossing over all set-theoretic size issues.
See StSp, warning 2.4.5.
This yields an (∞,1)-functor 𝒪:𝒢→𝒳.
This is canonically equipped with a (∞,1)-functor 𝒪 SpecX:𝒢→SpecX.
But such concrete spaces may still be very different from the model objects in 𝒢.
This is supposed to be captured by the following definition.
For the moment, this here is glossing over the difference between the two.

An exact category has quotients of congruences that are stable under pullback.
A Grothendieck topos is an infinitary-pretopos that also has a generating set.

An additive category is a category which is an Ab-enriched category;
The natural morphisms between additive categories are additive functors.
A pre-abelian category is an additive category which also has kernels and cokernels.

Note that the entire Ab-enriched structure follows automatically for abelian categories.
Consider first the nullary (i.e., zero-ary) case.
Consider now the case of binary (co-)products.
Observe some basic compatibility of the Ab-enrichment with the product:
This means that X 1×X 2 satisfies the universal property of a coproduct.
By induction, this implies the statement for all finite (co-)products.
With respect to this operation, composition is bilinear.
The associativity and commutativity of + follows directly from the corresponding properties of ⊕.
Uniqueness of 𝒫(c) follows from ≺ being an extensional relation.
This is a joint generalization of smooth manifolds and Lie groups to higher differential geometry.
This ensures the pullback exists to define said manifold of composable pairs.
Therefore a definition used in most modern differential geometry literature is as we see above.
See the section 2-Category of Lie groupoids below.
A bit more general than a Lie groupoid is a diffeological groupoid.
Composition of X is provided by the multiplication of G.
Source and target maps are identities and we only have identity arrows in this example.
This is sometimes called the Čech groupoid or covering groupoid.
Action groupoid presents the quotient stack [M/G].
Source and target are end points of a path.
Multiplication is concatenation of paths (think why associative?).
The problem for this groupoid is that it might not be a Lie groupoid.
See locally trivial category for details.
The degreewise Yoneda embedding allows to emebed groupoids internal to Diff into stacks on Diff.

Then the natural projection G| E→G is an acyclic fibration.
Thus we obtain a generalised morphism which is also an anafunctor from G→H.

In physics, the term “multiverse” refers to certain picture of cosmology.
A horizon in there and everything on smaller scales is the observable universe.
Therefore it is important to distinguish the observable universe from the universe as such.
Generically Kaluza-Klein theories have this property, and in particular string theory does.
Only improved mathematical understanding of the theory will eventually be able to tell.
I am skeptical about this claim.
That is why none of the claims made by multiverse enthusiasts can be directly substantiated.
But we have no hope of testing it observationally.
All in all, the case for the multiverse is inconclusive.
Most proposals involve a patchwork of different ideas rather than a coherent whole.
Although they can be fitted together, there is nothing inevitable about it.
But we should name it for what it is.
It is a delicate path to tread.
We are going to have to live with that uncertainty.
Nothing is wrong with scientifically based philosophical speculation, which is what multiverse proposals are.

Since terminology varies in the literature, we will say something about this first.
There are no precise definitions here; see below for those.
For completeness, we give both the modern abstract and historical concrete definitions.
We build on the concepts of Banach space and (abstract) C *-algebra.
Note in particular that an isomorphism of either must be an isometry.
Sakai’s theorem states that preduals considered in the abstract definition are necessarily unique.
In particular, the category of preduals is canonically isomorphic to the terminal category.
Sakai’s theorem can be extended to morphisms of von Neumann algebras.
Thus V is also a Banach space.
This morphism is in fact an isomorphism, hence V is the predual of A.
The predual can be canonically identified with the Banach space of trace class operators.
See Theorem 4.2 in Chirvasitu–Ko.
In fact, it is a monadic functor and preserves all sifted colimits.
Small coproducts of von Neumann algebras exist.
There are two different tensor products one can define on von Neumann algebras.
This yields a symmetric monoidal structure on von Neumann algebras.
This also results in a symmetric monoidal structure.
Furthermore, passing to the opposite category yields a closed monoidal structure.

There are two different attitudes to what a desirable or interesting foundation should achieve:
The archetypical such system is ZFC set theory.
For a philosophical treatment of foundations see foundations and philosophy.
Almost all foundations of mathematics are expressed in some foundational deductive system.
Objects could be referred to as element or term.
In SEAR and structural ZFC, sets and elements are both basic distinct notions.
In type theory, there are also a distinction to be made.
In most type theories, both terms and types are basic foundational notions.
Formally, there are also a difference in the contexts.
Judgmental equality is defined as a basic judgment in the foundations.
Propositional equality is defined as a proposition in any typed predicate logic.
The equality of elements used in dependent type theories are typal equality.
The equality of collections differs from theory to theory.
Thus, any unsorted set theory like fully formal ETCS violates the principle of equivalence.
However, there is a way around it, by the usage of universes.

We work with binary relations on the power set P(X) of a set X.
Nullary additivity: it is always true that A⋈∅ and ∅⋈A for any A.
Similarly, in terms of ≪ we obtain a topogenous order or topogenous neighborhood relation:
Nullary additivity: it is always true that A≪X and ∅≪A for any A.
(With topogenies, we can just take the union, period.)
The opposite relation of a topogenous relation is again topogenous.
Of course, a symmetric perfect topogenous relation is automatically biperfect.
When X is equipped with a syntopogeny, it is called a syntopogenous space.
This defines the category STpg.
Thus, STpg→Set is a topological concrete category.
This is a basis for a simple perfect syntopogeny.
Conversely, any binary relation on X containing the diagonal defines a biperfect topogenous relation.
(For a biperfect topogeny, remove the requirement that U contain the diagonal.)
Constructively, this equivalence still holds for both nearness and neighborhood syntopogenous spaces.
Syntopogenous apartness spaces, on the other hand, correspond to uniform apartness spaces.
Thus, the intersection Top∩QUnif inside STpg is equivalent to Preord.

Definition A diffeological space is a concrete sheaf on the site CartSp smooth.
Write DiffeolSpace↪Sh(CartSp) for the full subcategory on diffeological spaces.
Notice that is a quasitopos.
A diffeological groupoid is an internal groupoid in the category of diffeological spaces.
Concrete smooth 0-groupoids are equivalently diffeological spaces.
This is equivalent to the category of diffeological spaces DiffeolSp≃Conc(τ ≤0Smooth∞Grpd).
Proof Let X∈Sh(CartSp)↪Smooth∞Grpd be a sheaf on CartSp.
this is indeed the defining condition for concrete sheaves that defines diffeological spaces.
We want to say the following
Let A be 1-truncated and concrete.
both A 0 and A 1 are diffeological spaces.
Hence the above exhibits A as equivalent to a diffeological groupoid.

By construction the difference B˜−B′| ∂Δ 3 has vanishing surface integral.
Together with our extension f′, this constitutes a pair that solves the lifting problem.
The following proof makes use of details discussed at differential string structure – proofs .
We discuss that the first morphism is an equivalence.
Since the curvature H is horizontal it is already extended.
We now check that the second morphism is a fibration.
Therefore it is sufficient to show that the first morphism here is a fibration.
H has to be horizontal so it is to be constantly extended along the cylinder.

Idea A tricategory is a particular algebraic notion of weak 3-category.
The monoidal product is given by tensor product over R.
There is no predefined notion of equality of anything.
We also impose Axiom 1+ε (Choice operator)
Note that we have no notion of equality for arbitrary operations between pre-sets.
Axioms 3, 4, and 5 are easy to translate.
We call this theory SEAR+ε.
With this interpretation axiom 1+ε is precisely the SEAR-C axiom of choice.
The question is whether we can get SEAR+ε without assuming or implying choice.
Our goal is to prove that SEAR+ε is conservative over SEAR.
Suppose we have a model of SEAR satisfying COSHEP, call it V.
We define a model of SEAR+ε as follows.
The pre-sets are the projective V-sets.
The elements are the V-elements.
The pre-relations are the V-relations.
The operations are the V-functions.
Axiom 0 of SEAR+ε is obviously true.
I claim that in fact these functors are essentially surjective as well.
Thus, we have constructed a model of SEAR+ε.
Furthermore, its underlying SEAR-model is equivalent to V.
This is the conservativity result we were looking for.
(Of course, SEAR is capable of using this method too.)
Ah, you’re right.
Suppose f:A⇝B is an operation.
Of course, as you point out, this is very impredicative.
The same argument as above should show that CSEAR+ε is conservative over CSEAR+COSHEP.
Now: is CSEAR+ε conservative over CSEAR?

Even if they do, sometimes the cofibrations are intractable in practice.
It turns out that this is sufficient for many useful constructions.
This makes categories of fibrant objects useful in homotopical cohomology theory.
Those morphisms which are both weak equivalences and fibrations are called acyclic fibrations .
Hence [σ 0,X], being its right inverse, is a weak equivalence.

For G an ordinary group write BG for the corresponding groupoid.
Let *:*→BG be the unique morphism from the point into BG.
The morphism p f:E fB→B is a fibration.
Both squares are pullback squares.
Since pullbacks of fibrations are fibrations, the morphism E fB→C×B is a fibration.
Therefore it is itself a fibration.
But it follows from the axioms that weak equivalences are preserved under pullback along fibrations.
This we establish in two lemmas.
The same reasoning applies for f∈W∩F.
The top two vertical composite morphisms are identities.
The pullback of a weak equivalence along a fibration is again a weak equivalence.
By the preceding lemma , so is g.
If v:B→C is a weak equivalence, then this is an acyclic fibration.
One may compute this limit in terms of two consecutive pullbacks in two different ways.
The first claim follows then since fibrations are stable under pullback.
For that we need the following to lemmas. Lemma
By 2-out-of-3 it follows that it is also a weak equivalence.
Right homotopy f≃g between morphisms is preserved under pre- and postcomposition with a given morphism.
More precisely, let f,g:B→C be two homotopic morphisms.
The first of these follows trivially.
The second point is more work.
Let η:A→C I the right homotopy in question.
It follows by 2-out-of-3 that the latter is a weak equivalence.
Factoring this using the factorization lemma produces hence B→∈WD′→∈W∩FD.
Finally, by setting A′=A× DD′ we obtaine the desired right homotopy f∘t′≃g∘t′.
The nontrivial part is to show transitivity.
Using acyclic fibrations has the advantage that these are preserved under pullback.

We now provide the missing definitions and then the proof of this theorem.
The homotopy categories of C and πC coincide: Ho C≃Ho πC. Proof
Therefore the above diagram says that homotopic morphisms in C become equal in Ho C.
In this case we have the following additional concepts and structures.

A proper filter is equivalently the eventuality filter of a net.
In predicative mathematics, filters of subsets are large, but locally small.
One could also use a ℕ-overt dominance Σ, a sub- σ -frame Σ⊆Ω.
A predicate F:L→Σ is a filter
(Ultimately this connects with the use of ‘ideal’ in monoid theory.)
(These axioms look more like the axioms for an ideal of a ring.)
A filter F is proper if there exists an element A of L such that A∉F.
Compare proper subset and improper subset.
However, we will try to remember to include the adjective ‘proper’.
The generalisation to arbitrary joins gives a completely prime filter.
(See that article for alternative formulations and applications.)
Free ultrafilters on Boolean algebras are important in nonstandard analysis and model theory.
Equivalently, a filterbase is any downward-directed subset.
Let f *(F) be the filter generated by this filter base.
Therefore L↦Filters(L),f↦f * is a functor from the category of posets to itself.
If f is merely monotone, then f * respects all filtered joins.
If f respects |I|-fold joins, then f * respects |I|-fold meets.
If f respects all joins, then f * respects all meets.
As a left adjoint f * respects all joins.
Note that the push-forward turns left adjoints into right adjoint and vice versa.
Therefore f *:Filters(L 1)→Filters(L 2) respects arbitrary meets.
f is the left adjoint of g:L 2→L 1,B↦α −1(B).
The morphism h is given by h(A):=α(A α)∪(Y∖α(X)).
(That is, ν is eventually in A.)
Then a sequence is a Cauchy sequence iff its eventuality filter is Cauchy.

This entry is about a refinement of the concept of cohesive topos.
See also at motivation for cohesive toposes for a non-technical discussion.
(For a notion of cohesion relative to a general base, see Remark .)
We state the definition in several equivalent ways.
Externally The definition is the immediate analog of the definition of a cohesive topos.
Often we will tacitly assume to work over ∞Grpd.
But most statements and constructions have straightforward generalizations to arbitrary bases.
Every adjoint quadruple induces an adjoint triple of endofunctors.
Here “♭” is meant to be pronounced “flat”.
Sometimes it is desireable to add further axioms, such as the following.
See also at continuum – In cohesive homotopy theory.
Another extra axiom is (see at Aufhebung for more): Definition
We discuss now the converse.
The last statement follows from the (∞,1)-category analog of the discussion here.
The corresponging Coq-HoTT code is in (Shulman).
For more see cohesive homotopy type theory.
Then we discuss presentations over special sites in Over an ∞-cohesive site.
Proof The first holds for every ∞-connected (∞,1)-topos, see there.
The third follows from the second, see homotopy dimension.
We may think of it as the standard point equipped with a cohesive neighbourhood .
The detailed discussion is at ∞-cohesive site.
We first consider a lemma.
We establish this via a presentation of H by a model structure on simplicial presheaves.
Let then sSet +/A denote the model structure for left fibrations.
By the discussion there, this also presents ∞Grpd /A.
Finally this implies the claim using this proposition.
With this lemma we can now give the proof of prop. .
We deduce that and related properties in stages.
This is a general property of a reflectively and coreflectively embedded subcategory.
We have also the following stronger statement.
It remains to check the orthogonality.
Here by assumption the middle morphism is an equivalence.
We list fundamental structures and constructions that exist in every cohesvive (∞,1)-topos.

From this one obtains the following list of examples of cohesive (∞,1)-toposes.
This leads to differential algebraic K-theory.
The above examples relativize to arbitrary bases.

This appears as (Johnstone, prop. C2.5.4).
Evidence for this also comes from the details of the AdS/CFT mechanism.

What should a set be?
In a pure material set theory like ZFC, every object is a set.
What is a set?
We still need to clarify exactly what sort of collection a set is.
A category that is merely discrete and skeletal may be called a class instead.
A category that is merely small and discrete may be called a setoid instead.
(There are numerous other equivalent definitions; see h-set.)
Regarding types as ∞-groupoids, this definition takes care only of the discreteness requirement.
We freely allow ourselves to reason classically and use the principle of excluded middle.
We’ll call such maps continuous, for short.
If x≤f(x) for all x∈ω 1, then we say that f is inflationary.
Suppose f:ω 1→ω 1 is inflationary and continuous.
Then every x∈ω 1 has an upper bound that is a fixed point under f.
The converse of this result is trivially true.
Suppose f:ω 1→ω 1 is inflationary and continuous.
Then f′ is also inflationary and continuous.
It is worth contemplating the growth of the first few f α.
The first fixed point past 0 is at x=ω ω.
This ordinal is of size that far, far surpasses any human powers of visualization.
And clearly we are only just getting started.
Each successive f n(1) dwarfs its predecessor f n−1(1) to an indescribable degree.
To speak nothing of f ω(1), and so on.
Before introducing this, we prove the following lemmas.
This is clear if α+1=β.
For all y∈ω 1, we have y≤f y(1).
Suppose α≤f α(1) for all α<β.
Therefore the function x↦f x(1) is inflationary (by lemma ) and continuous.
Applying proposition , it has a least fixed point.
This fixed point is called the Feferman-Schütte ordinal, denoted by Γ 0.
Then in fact this last inequality is an equality.
However, Cantor normal form has the virtue of uniqueness.
It is called the Church-Kleene ordinal.
It is the first non-recursive ordinal.
B is regarded as an index set.
In particular, functions have set-theoretic equality.
Set theoretic operations are implemented by universal constructions on discrete objects.
The empty set is an initial discrete object.
The singleton is a terminal discrete object and a (2,1)-generator.
The Cartesian product is a (2,1)-product of discrete objects
The disjoint union is a disjoint and (2,1)-pullback stable (2,1)-coproduct of discrete objects.
This morphism might be restricted to be a display map or a fibration.

A category is algebraically complete if every endofunctor F has an initial algebra F(A)→A.
A category is algebraically cocomplete if every endofunctor F has a final coalgebra Z→F(Z).
In classical set theory, very few categories are algebraically compact.
Thus it is common to restrict attention to certain endofunctors.
One might then say that this class of endofunctors is algebraically compact.

We shall call the element 1→sFn the decoration of the decorated cospan.
where 1→sFn and 1→s′Fm are decorations of the first and second cospan, respectively.
The composition of decorations is the key construction of the decorated cospans formalisms.
Notice that the empty decoration gives a canonical way to decorate any cospan on C.
The braiding in D can be now used to show this product is indeed functorial.
The necessary checks are done in (B. Fong 2015, Appendix A).

One constructs an object by providing certain input.
This input is typically ‘stored’ inside the object.
These methods typically use the ‘stored’ input.
This is known as ‘encapsulation’.
This is known as ‘inheritance’.
One says that a class ‘implements’ an interface.
This is entirely distinct from ‘inheritance’.
These points are, naturally, fiercely contended.
First, in Java, we can define a class as follows.
{ return new NaturalNumber(null); }
public NaturalNumber successor() { return new NaturalNumber(this); }
public boolean isZero() { return successorOf == null; }
public NaturalNumber getSuccessorOf() { return successorOf; }
A class corresponds roughly to a type.
An object of this class corresponds roughly to a term of this type.
n:ℕsuccessor(n):ℕ The method getSuccessorOf is roughly akin to a computation rule.
The same goes for ‘getters’ like ‘getSuccessorOf’.
We can carry out the same kind of implementation in Javascript.
NaturalNumber.prototype.isZero = function () { return this.successorOf == null; }
NaturalNumber.prototype.successor = function () { return new NaturalNumber(this); }

This defines a monoidal structure on presentable (∞,1)-categories, which is in fact symmetric.

The limits are preserved by the embedding Pr(∞,1)Cat↪ (∞,1)Cat.
This is HTT, prop. 5.5.3.13.
This is (Lurie, NA, theorem 4.1.4).
This tensor product makes Pr(∞,1)Cat a symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-category.

Let ∏ iC i be a product in Pr(∞,1)Cat.
Let PA denote the (∞,1)-presheaf (∞,1)-category on A.
This is its free cocompletion, so we have Func L(PA,C)≃C A.

For instance analytic continuation does not in general exist for these topologies.
It should probably be called the Tate topology.

A setoid is a set equipped with a pseudo-equivalence relation.
An extensional function is injective-on-objects?
In both cases, the pseudo-equivalence relation becomes an equivalence relation.
Sometimes in the mathematical literature, setoids are thin by default.
For any setoid A, the core of A is defined as the maximal subgroupoid?
The category Setoid of setoids is then the ex/lex completion of Set.

A positive-definite and complete Hermitian vector space is called a Hilbert space.
hence h=g−iω.
These are called the Hermitian metrics.
and this immediately implies the corresponding invariance of g and ω.
This is taken from geometry of physics – superalgebra.
This is made precise by def. and ef. below.
This duality between certain spaces and their algebras of functions is profound.
In the physics literature, such spaces are usually just called superspaces.
We now make this precise.
Similarly a commutative monoid in Vect is an ordinary commutative algebra.
Moreover, in both cases the homomorphisms of monoids agree with usual algebra homomorphisms.
Hence there are equivalences of categories.
Example motivates the following definition:
Hence the heart of superalgebra is super-commutativity.
Hence this regards a commutative algebra as a superalgebra concentrated in even degree.
We also call this the affine scheme of A.
As such, it is usually written ℝ p|0∈Aff(sVect k). Example
See at geometry of physics – supergeometry for more on this.
Monoids are preserved by lax monoidal functors:

A useful class of examples of this is implied by the following:
obtain the above prescription for how to construct homotopy pullbacks.
So let the ambient category be a suitable type-theoretic model category.
Of particular interest are consecutive homotopy pullbacks of point inclusions.
These give rise to fiber sequences and loop space objects.

Let S⊂Mor(C) be a class of morphisms.
Notice that the class of S-equivalences always contains S itself.
We say that S generates the strongly saturated class S¯.

For each object c∈C let j(c):C→∞Grpd op be the functor represented by c.
The following proposition characterizes the reflectors of a reflective (∞,1)-subcategory.
This appears as HTT, prop. 5.2.7.8.
Let p:K→Δ[1] be the induced projection.
The following proposition asserts that localizations are entirely determined by the corresponding local objects.
Write S⊂Mor(C) for the collection of morphisms that Loc sends to equivalences.
It follows that the bottom morphism is an equivalence.
This says that Locx is S-local, for all x∈C.
Hence f is indeed in S.
This is HTT, prop. 5.5.4.15.
It remains to prove the statements about the role of S in the localization:
Hence they in particular contain S.
So the second claim implies the first.
It remains to show that the third item implies the second.
Let f:c→d be a morphism such that Lf:Lc→Ld is an equivalence.
Consider the commuting triangle c →f d ↓ ↘ ↓ Lc →Lf Ld.
This is HTT, prop. 5.5.5.14. Proof
Regard all (∞,1)-categories as quasi-categories for the purpose of this proof.
Write D⊂Func(Δ[1],C) for the full sub-quasicategory on the elements of S.
By the universality of the pushout, one finds that this is a coCartesian lift.
Hence D→Func({0},C)≃C is a coCartesian fibration.
Moreover, one can check that D c has all small colimits.
Together this means that D c is a locally presentable (∞,1)-category.
Notice that g *t, being a pushout of t∈S, is itself in S.
This is (Lurie, lemma 5.5.4.17).
This is (Lurie, prop. A.3.7.8).
By the discussion at Bousfield localization of model categories this presents precisely such localizations.
This is HTT, prop. 6.2.1.1.
Since the terminal object is evidently S-local, we have L*≃*.
Applying L hence yields an equivalence L(x×y)→≃Lx×Ly.
Of morphisms of this form we had seen above that they are in S.
So it remains to show that x× yz→x× Lyz is in S.
So now we need to show that the diagonal y→y× Lyy is in S.
Let C be a locally presentable (∞,1)-category with universal colimits.
Then S is strongly generated by a small set of morphisms.
This is HTT, Prop. 6.2.1.2.
Such f is obtained by choosing any coCartesian lift of a reflector p(f):p(c)→d¯.
This means that also the top horizontal morphism is an equivalence.

Let 𝒜 be a locally presentable category.
Such an endofunctor is well-pointed precisely when the monad is idempotent.
We have obvious categories of algebras of both sorts.
The converse holds in the well-pointed/idempotent case.
In fact, we have: Lemma
The putative transformation η:1→T is the composition α∘σ.
The last statement is almost obvious using Lemma above.
The basic theorem to which all others can be reduced is the following.
Therefore, the algebraically-free monad on S exists (and is accessible).
Applying the previous example on slice categories, we can construct orthogonal factorization systems.
Then T/𝒜 is again locally presentable.
In particular, the algebraically-free monad on T exists and is accessible.
The monadicity theorem then applies.
Colimits can be constructed in T/𝒜 and then reflected into TAlg.
A W-type in a category is an initial algebra for a polynomial functor.
Equivalently, it is the free algebra on the initial object for that functor.
Theorem The category TAlg is a reflective subcategory of T/𝒜.
Thus, by Lemma , L is well-pointed; now apply Theorem .
Corollary TAlg is locally presentable.
Moreover, any functor TAlg→T′Alg induced by a monad morphism T′→T has a left adjoint.
Since TAlg is reflective in the cocomplete T/𝒜, it is cocomplete.
Since it is accessible by the limit theorem, it is locally presentable.
We will show the category of V-algebras to be reflective in T/𝒜.
Thus, by Lemma , L is well-pointed; now apply Theorem .

This function f is said to be constructed by primitive recursion.

In classical mathematics, any inhabited subset of the natural numbers possesses a minimal element.

The moves were introduced in the book Reidemeister.
As usual in knot theory, everything is up to planar isotopy?.
Both isotopy and and regular isotopy define equivalence relations on link diagrams.
There are a number of variants of the R3 move.
The key idea of the proof is that of subdivision.

We can conclude that the Hopf link and the Borromean rings are not isotopic.

We are usually only interested in measurable almost functions.
Of course, a measure space also has plenty of structure for this.
That one only needs measurable functions to be defined almost everywhere is the same idea.

Specifically, cardinal numbers generalise the concept of ‘the number of …’.
In particular, the number of natural numbers is the first infinite cardinal number.
One can construct this as a quotient set of that collection.
Lowercase Greek letters starting from κ are often used for cardinal numbers.
All of these definitions are equivalent using excluded middle.
This theorem is not constructively valid, however.
For every cardinal π, we have 2 π>π

It is known that the continuum hypothesis is undecidable in ZFC.
A cardinal is called singular if it is not regular.
A limit cardinal is one which is not a successor of any other cardinal.

An inaccessible cardinal is any (usually uncountable) regular strong limit cardinal.
A weakly inaccessible cardinal is a regular limit cardinal.
Any serious reference on set theory should cover cardinal numbers.

Contents C ∞-rings should not be confused with C ∞ -algebras.
The standard name in the literature for generalized smooth algebras is C ∞-rings.
All constructions on smooth algebras generalize to (𝒯,R)-algebras.
This is (Bunge-Dubuc, prop. 2.1).
There is a unique C ∞-ring structure on a Weil algebra W.
It makes W a finitely presented C ∞-ring.
Weil algebras play a crucial role in the definition of smooth toposes.

From this structure alone a lot of further structure follows:

Basic Properties and Definitions Let U⊆ℝ be open.

An arrow looks like an interval.
In a category we can glue arrows together, ‘composing’ them.
So, there should be a cocategory or something like that lurking around here.
Let us describe the H-cocategory structure on the interval cospan.
In other words, the cospan I carries an A ∞-cocategory structure.
Let us make this more explicit.
This category is precisely the fundamental groupoid Π 1(X).
It is pretty clear from this description that Π 1(X) is functorial in X.
The fundamental 0-groupoid Top→0Cat is the connected components functor Π 0:Top→Set.
The category (n+1)Cat admits finite products and arbitrary sums over which products distribute.
(This theorem is needed to push the induction through.)
Fix a symmetric monoidal category V, and let P be an operad valued in V.

This entry contains one chapter of the material at geometry of physics.
Ever since Isaac Newton, theories of physics are formulated in the language of mathematics.
Modern physics is formulated in terms of modern mathematics in the most intimate way.
While fundamental, this theory has free parameters.
These index different flavors of the same general mechanism.
(This is the traditional formulation.
Most of this was fairly well understood decades ago, by the 1960s.
Hence we should think of this as formalizing topological local field theory.
The formalization of extended topological field theory thus captures the local aspect of field theory.
So we are after a picture as indicated in the following table.

We discuss two equivalent ways of defining Day convolution
We observe now that Day convolution is equivalently a left Kan extension.
This will be key for understanding monoids and modules with respect to Day convolution.
Let 𝒞 be a small V-monoidal category.
This perspective is highlighted in (MMSS 00, p. 60).
The tensor product ⊗:𝒞⊗𝒞→𝒞 induces a representable profunctor 𝒞(⊗,1):𝒞⇸𝒞⊗𝒞.
This is claimed without proof in (Day 70).
First note that the equivalence between the two formulas follows from the Yoneda lemma.
In functional programming, these monoids give rise to the notion of Applicative.
This is stated in some form in (Day 70, example 3.2.2).
It was highlighted again in (MMSS 00, prop. 22.1).
See also MO discussion here.
This is just the structure of a monoid object on F under ⊗ Day.
Then the Day convolution product is F⋆G:e↦⊕ c⋅d=eF(c)×G(d).
Precisely because by assumption C has only identity morphisms.
There is an obvious monoidal structure on the cube category.
By Day convolution this induces a monoidal structure on cubical sets.
This in turn induces a monoidal structure on strict omega-categories.

We display equations for the horizontal filtering, the other case works analogously.
For the moment see at spectral sequence for a list.

There are also versions that generalize the mean value theorem:
Two singular chains are homologous if they differ by a boundary.
Write SingX∈ sSet for its singular simplicial complex.
Remark These are the chains on a simplicial set on SingX.
See also at ordinary homology.
This is called the push-forward of σ along f.
From this the statement follows since ℤ[−]:sSet→sAb is a functor.
In particular for each n∈ℕ singular homology extends to a functor H n(−,R):Top→RMod.

Its kernel is the commutator subgroup of π 1(X,x).
This is known as the Hurewicz theorem.

The dual notion is that of singular cohomology.
The analogous notion in algebraic geometry is given by Chow groups.
second-countable: there is a countable base of the topology.
metrisable: the topology is induced by a metric.
separable: there is a countable dense subset.
Lindelöf: every open cover has a countable sub-cover.
metacompact: every open cover has a point-finite open refinement.
first-countable: every point has a countable neighborhood base
second-countable spaces are Lindelöf.
weakly Lindelöf spaces with countably locally finite base are second countable.
separable metacompact spaces are Lindelöf.
Lindelöf spaces are trivially also weakly Lindelöf.
a first-countable space is obviously Fréchet-Urysohn.
a Fréchet-Uryson space is obviously sequential.
a sequential space is obviously countably tight.
paracompact spaces satisfying the countable chain condition are Lindelöf.
This holds for many examples, but not for all.
In particular, when considering continuous real-valued functions.
Thus we have the following connections to the separation axioms.
The resulting function is the required f n.
We need to prove that this is continuous.
Thus f is continuous everywhere except possibly at v.
As such it has in particular kernels and cokernels.

Definition A filtered ring is a filtered object in the category Ring of rings.
The associated graded ring to a filtered ring is the corresponding associated graded object.
Let 𝒜,ℬ,𝒞 be abelian categories and let F:𝒜→ℬ and G:ℬ→𝒞 be left exact additive functors.
Assume that 𝒜,ℬ have enough injectives.
Moreover, this is natural in A∈𝒜.
Thus we have the corresponding double complex G(I •,•) in 𝒞.
This establishes the spectral sequence and its second page as claimed.
It remains to determine its convergence.
This is treated at generalized the.
Formal treatments employ the uniqueness quantifier to specify unique existence.
We will give some examples below.
Everything below applies dually to 2-colimits, the higher analogues of colimits.
See strict 2-limit for details.
Therefore, we usually call these simply “limits.”
In the following examples we work in a 2-category K.
In Cat, comma objects are comma categories.
Of particular importance is the case when C is the walking arrow 2.
We may say (2,1)-limits and (2,1)-colimits in this case.
A (2,1)-category is a special case of an (∞,1)-category.
(2,1)-limits can often also be viewed in this way.
(The equivalence of homotopy limits with (∞,1)-limits is discussed at (∞,1)-limit).
Here Q l is the lax morphism classifier? for 2-functors.
Therefore, lax limits are really a special case of 2-limits.
Here are some examples.
Note that this is equivalent to a comma object (f/1 B).
Note that lax pullbacks are not the same as comma objects.
Thus, it is a representing object for lax natural transformations J→K(F−,L).
Here are some examples of lax and oplax colimits:
This yields a construction of certain pseudo 2-colimits in Cat.
Moreover, a similar result holds more generally when C is a bicategory.
But I don’t know whether everyone realizes that this is true.
It was a very deep and strong struggle.
Here lies a responsibility to society.
It has been done so many times before.
And that has to do with the question of uncertainty and doubt.
There is no learning without having to pose a question.
And a question requires doubt.
But there is no certainty.
From Feynman 1966: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.
Science doesn’t teach anything; experience teaches it.
How did the scientists find out?
Equivalently, this is a magma object in the category of pointed sets.
Every magma object in the category of commutative unital magmas is an absorption magma.
The multiplicative magmas of the octonions and the sedenions are absorption magmas.
This entry is about loops in topology.
All of these variations can be combined, of course.
(A Moore loop at a has f(kn)=a instead of f(k)=a.
In this context, a Moore loop is called a cycle.
Every loop may be interpreted as a path.
However, this is correct only in certain contexts.
In continuous spaces, it is also correct.
This monoid may called the Moore loop monoid?.
Often we are more interested in a quotient monoid of the Moore loop monoid.
See looping and delooping for more.
As such it is a representation of G “by permutations”.
Definition (permutation representations make ring homomorphism from Burnside ring to representation ring)
This homomorphism is traditionally denoted β, as shown.

See at induced representation of the trivial representation for more.
This is the content of Prop. below.
The proof of surjectivity for p-primary groups is due to Segal 72.
See also Ritter 72.)
The proof is recalled as tom Dieck 79, Theorem 4.4.1.
The quotient k/|k|∈S(ℝ n) is the direction of the plane wave.
The product 2π/λ is also called the wave number.
At one extreme, we can think of ℝ n as merely a topological space.
Here we will focus on the general notion of a manifold.
We will present two possible definitions.
At best, we can only talk about isomorphisms of manifolds.
The setting is a topological space X together with a pseudogroup G on X.
Often it is also assumed that the topology has a countable basis as well.
In many of the typical cases, this will mean that M is metrizable.
This is encoded by the following definition of isomorphisms between manifolds.
Morphisms of manifolds are here called smooth maps, and isomorphisms are called diffeomorphisms.
Simply take the inclusions of open sets as charts.
But if Todd agrees with me, then maybe he'll add it.

The (2,1)-category of (2,1)-sheaves on a (2,1)-site is a Grothendieck-(2,1)-topos.
The term exact category has several different meanings.
This is distinct from the notion of Quillen exact category.
Exact categories are also called effective regular categories.
Therefore, congruences have quotients in an exact category.
The codomain fibration of an exact category is a stack for its regular topology.
Any topos is an exact category.
Any category which is monadic over a power of Set is exact.
A proof may be found here.
Any abelian category is exact.
In fact an abelian category is precisely an exact additive category.
See Theorem 5.11 of Barr’s Exact Categories.
Any slice or co-slice of an exact category is also exact.
If C is already exact, then C ex/reg is equivalent to C.
See regular and exact completions.

This is the statement of the K-theory classification of topological phases of matter.
In this paper, we develop a general systematic framework to understand these problems.
This is a sub-entry of scheme and derived scheme.
This entry discusses a higher-categorical perspective on that standard notion.
This lattice naturally forms a locale, or 0-topos.
See the examples at derived scheme for more details on this.
Linearly compact vector spaces were introduced in the development of the idea of duality.
A standard reference for the basics is the Dieudonné‘s book on formal groups.
The next definition is copied from Tom Leinster’s note that’s listed below.
The topology is linear: the open affine subspaces form a basis for the topology.
Any family of closed affine subspaces with the finite intersection property has nonempty intersection.
The topology is Hausdorff.
Every pseudocompact module is linearly compact.
In components, the definition of submersion reads as follows.
More abstractly formulated, this means equivalently the following.
This is because a submersion is transversal to every other smooth map into its codomain.
Moreover, submersions are stable under pullback.
They appear notably in the definition of Lie groupoids.
Ehresmann's theorem states that a proper submersion is a locally trivial fibration.
See the discussion at SynthDiff∞Grpd for details.
The algebraic geometry analogue of a submersion is a smooth morphism.
There is also topological submersion, of which there are two versions.
Idea Focusing is an idea originating in the proof theory of linear logic.
This is the diagonal action.
The actual definition of cellular homology is below.
We define “ordinary” cellular homology with coefficients in the group ℤ of integers.
The analogous definition for other coefficients is immediate.
This is discussed at Relative homology - Homology of CW-complexes.
This appears for instance as (Hatcher, theorem 2.35).
A proof is below as the proof of cor. .
Herr Alexander trug über seine Resultate ebenfalls an der Moskauer Topologischen Konferenz vor.
Composition of paths comes from concatenation and reparameterization of representatives.

Konkrete neue Einsichten vermitteln die Kap. I, II, VI allerdings kaum.
The term “natural homomorphism” is introduced on p. 196.
Independently they were seen in topos theory (Bunge 90, Moerdijk 91).
Bibundles also appear as transition bundles of nonabelian bundle gerbes.
We often write H≔ Smooth∞Grpd for short.
This is evidently more constrained than just morphisms 𝒢→𝒦 by themselves.
Hence all Morita morphisms, def. , to the pair groupoid are equivalent.
Obviously these actions are free.
When a free action has representible quotient, it must automatically be proper.
It is free and proper because the right action of H on E is so.
Moreover, those who free and proper is (are), remains so.
It is (2,1)-category because 2-morphisms are obviously invertible.
This (2,1)-category is equivalent to the one obtained by generalised morphism or by anafunctors.
The follwing is taken from the latter article.
The following constructions work by repeatedly applying the following identification:
The central definition here is now:
In particular one has the following identifications.
The generalization to arbitrary topological groupoids was considered in
One can, therefore, argue that only strict deformation quantization is genuine quantization.
Gluing local solutions to the quantization problem furthermore involves stacks and specifically gerbes.
But this is really the case corresponding to perturbation theory in quantum field theory.
Every Poisson manifold has a (formal) deformation quantization.
This was shown in (Kontsevich 97).
There the deformed product is constructed by a kind of Feynman diagram perturbation series.
See there for more details.
Let X be a smooth algebraic variety over a field 𝕜 of characteristic 0.

Theorem 4 implies: Theorem (Yekutieli).
Assume that the cohomology groups H 1(X,𝒪 X) and H 2(X,𝒪 X) vanish.
It preserves first order brackets.
When X is affine this is Theorem 0.1 of this paper.
For the full statement see Corollary 11.2 of this paper.
See the paper and the survey.
(This is graded symmetric.)
This defines a graded Lie bracket of degree -1.
Note that μ is associative iff μ∘μ=0 iff [μ,μ]=0.
Apply this example to the construction of deformation quantization.
It can be verified that this is an equivalence relation.
The Deligne conjecture gives a relationship between these things.

The pullback i *TY can be of course interpreted as the restriction TY| X.
The dual notion is that of conormal bundle.
The notion also makes sense for some other contexts, e.g. for smooth algebraic varieties.
Then one just uses the homotopy invariance of vector bundles.

In all notions of generalized smooth spaces all pullbacks do exist.
But they may still not be the “right” pullbacks.
For instance cohomology of pullback objects may not have the expected properties.
This is solved by passing to smooth derived stacks, such as derived smooth manifolds.
This construction has benefited tremendously from the adoption of the nPOV.
Using this point of view, the general strategy becomes naturally evident.

Hadamard states are mathematically characterized as follows:
This is usually called a Wightman propagator.
(Unfortunately the term “Hadamard propagator” is used for something else.)
The resulting algebra of observables is the Wick algebra of the free scalar field.
These states are therefore called Hadamard states.
Recall the following general facts about the wave equation/Klein-Gordon equation
Let (X,g) be a globally hyperbolic spacetime.
Then a Hadamard distribution ω according to def. does exist.
These integral kernels are the advanced/retarded “propagators”.
We discuss this by a variant of the Cauchy principal value:
This integration domain may then further be completed to two contour integrations.
The last line is the expression for the causal propagator from prop. .
Next we similarly parameterize the vector x−y by its rapidity τ.
Here J 0 denotes the Bessel function of order 0.
The important point here is that this is a smooth function.
The last line is Δ H(x,y), by definition .
On the left this identifies the causal propagator by (9), prop. .
This does not change the integral, and hence H is symmetric.
In the first step we introduced the complex square root ω ±ϵ(k→).
We follow (Scharf 95 (2.3.18)).
Next we similarly parameterize the vector x−y by its rapidity τ.

However, π 0:∞Gpd→Set does not have a left adjoint.

This is clearly a homotopy pullback precisely if the top morphism is an equivalence.

But I had very serious questions about how that editing should be done in particular.
Aurelio was attentively studying the situation.
He wrote immediately that he was under a vow not to discuss mathematics.
But his mathematical soul soon triumphed and he was writing mathematical statements and questions.
(Aurelio observed all this with valiant equanimity.)
But our parting was very amicable with the agreement to further consider the matter.
Aurelio agreed with my point.

Most prescriptions for taking classical limits are formulated in algebraic settings.
The following list discusses a few.
(For nonquadratic Hamiltonians, this only holds approximately over short times.
for N→∞, one gets a good classical limit.
Thus one gets the standard classical limit.

This hom-object is hence a hom-groupoid in this case.
This is true when the source is compact.
Thus, in particular, this applies to loop spaces.
This raises the obvious question as to how general this result can be made.
The purpose of this page is to determine the answer.
Our conjecture is the following:
Let M be a smooth manifold that admits a local addition.
Then the Frölicher space of smooth maps from N to M is a smooth manifold.
For a more recent version see (Stacey). Background and Remarks
In this line, the original category is viewed mainly as a source of ideas.
One can make an analogy with the real and complex numbers.
Let N be a sequentially compact Frölicher space.
Let {P i:P i⊆M} be a family of submanifolds of M.
We assume that the pair (M,{P i}) admits a local addition.
We shall also assume, for simplicity, that the domain of η is TM.
Let g:N→M be a smooth map with g(Q i)⊆P i.
By applying the projection to the second factor, we obtain a map f^:N→TM.
Composing with η produces a map η∘f^:N→M.
Let us identify its image.
Let V⊆M×M be the image of the local addition.
Let us start with the image.
Together with the identity on N, we get a map N→N×TM.
Moreover, this construction yields the inverse of Φ and so it is a bijection.
Thus we have charts for C ∞(N,M;Q,P).
The next step is the transition functions.
This will show that our resulting manifold structure is independent of this choice.
Let E 1=E g 1 and E 2=E g 2.
We define W 12∈g 1 *TM as follows.
We describe a point in g 1 *TM by specifying its point in N×TM.
Similarly, we have a map ϕ 12 in the other direction.
Both of these maps are smooth since they are smooth into N×TM.
Let us consider ϕ 12ϕ 21(x,v).
The transition function is f↦ϕ 21∘f.
Let us start with the domain and codomain of the transition function.
The domain is {f∈E 1:Φ 1(f)∈U 2}.
It is therefore completely characterised by the fact that Φ 2Ψ 21=Φ 1.
Hence Ψ 21(f)=ψ 21∘f and thus Ψ 21 is a diffeomorphism.
We discuss that and how these two smooth structures coincide.
Proposition The functor ι:FrechetManifolds↪DiffeologicalSpaces is a full and faithful functor.
This appears as (Losik, theorem 3.1.1).
This appears as (Waldorf, lemma A.1.7).

For the moment see at S-matrix this prop.
The ‘infinitesimal’ symmetries are the derivations X:A→A, with X(ab)=X(a)b+X(b)a.
This is the case discussed in the section Over ordinary rings below.
This is discussed in the section Over smooth rings regarded as ordinary rings.
Conversely, every module arises this way, up to isomorphism.
So this gives an equivalent way of defining modules over rings.
And this is the right definition.
Notably, this definition does not assume anything about the ring R.
It does not even assume that R is a ring at all!
Notice that this is now a definition.
And that R could be anything, and the definition still makes sense.
Suppose A is a commutative algebra over a field k.
We may define Kähler differentials either by an explicit construction or by a universal property.
In fact there are two explicit constructions.
The simplest construction, maybe, is as follows.
In particular there are only finite sums in the module of Kähler differentials.
Another more sophisticated construction of Ω K 1(A) is given below.
We say that X factors through d.
The following special case deserves special attention:
We discuss how Kähler differential forms relate to the ordinary notion of differential forms.
However, we have de t≠e tdt as Kähler differentials.
To avoid this annoying property of Kähler differentials we can proceed as follows.
Now, suppose A=C ∞(M) where M is any smooth manifold.
We can expand on this remark as follows.
Couldn’t resist the above uncredentialed drive-by edit…
Is it torsionlessness that ultimately discerns differential geometry from algebraic geometry?
All this is general abstract nonsense, nothing special to this example!
There’s a lot less here than meets the eye.
That actually makes a little sense to me.
There is a mistake in the explanation by John Baez here.
The first one is not, though.
This module is equipped with a universal A-derivation.
This object of differential forms satisfies a universal property with respect to derivations.
Contents Idea A module spectrum is a module over a ring spectrum.
This is (Lurie, cor. 1.5.15).

This equivalence on the level of homotopy categories is due to (Robinson).

Another example is the use of weak topologies on locally convex topological spaces.
Let 𝒯 be an essentially small category.
Then the Isbell envelope of 𝒯, written E(𝒯), is defined as follows.
(We conventionally write X=(P X,F X,c X).)
Certain elementary properties are easy to prove.
The Isbell envelope of a category can be viewed as a category of profunctors.
Let us spell this out.
Recall that a profunctor 𝒜→ℬ is a functor 𝒜×ℬ op→Set.
The composition of these as profunctors produces the obvious profunctor 𝔉×𝔊:𝒜×ℬ op→Set.
There is an obvious profunctor 𝒯→𝒯 given by the Hom-bifunctor.
This is the identity for profunctor composition.
This characterization relates directly to a definition of Cauchy completion.
A variant of the above involves a background category, say 𝒰.
Translating this back to the language of functors yields the following definition.
An obvious condition is that the presheaf is actually a sheaf.
Another useful condition is that of Isbell duality.
Clearly, the last is the intersection of the first two.
Now we transfer this to the Isbell envelope of 𝒯.
Let X=(P,F,c) be an object of E(𝒯).
Let us write |X| T for the set of constant elements in P(T).
Let T 0 be an object in 𝒯.
The assignment X→|X| T 0 is functorial and extends the assignment T→|T| T 0.
A 𝒯–morphism T 0→T 1 defines a natural transformation of functors.
Let (α,β) be a morphism from the first to the second.
Let γ∈P 1(U 0) be a constant element.
Let T be an object in 𝒯 and ϕ∈F 2(T).
We need to show that ϕ∘(α∘γ) is a constant morphism.
That the morphisms correspond is obvious.
Let γ∈P(T 1) be a constant element.
Hence γ∘ψ is a constant element in P(T 0).
Useful to have an example here, of course.
Let us fix a 𝒯–object T 0.
We can refine the notion of concreteness slightly.
Let 𝒯 be an essentially small category with a concrete separator, say T 0.
Changing the concrete separator does not alter concreteness.
Clearly the first and second statements imply the third.
Let us consider the first.
Let S be a concrete separator in 𝒯.
We shall write |−| for |−| S.
Let T be an object of 𝒯.
Thus there is some ϕ∈F X(T′) such that α T′(ϕ)≠β T′(ϕ)∈𝒯(T,T′).
Using composition notation, we rewrite this as ϕ∘α∘δ≠ϕ∘β∘δ.
Since ϕ∘α∘δ≠ϕ∘β∘δ, they must be different constant elements.
Thus the maps α,β:|T|→|X| are different and so X is P–concrete.
The second statement is very similar.
Let S be a concrete separator in 𝒯.
Let T be an object of 𝒯.
Thus there is some α∈P X(T′) such that ϕ T′(α)≠ψ T′(α)∈𝒯(T′,T).
Using the composition notation, we rewrite this as ϕ∘α∘δ≠ψ∘α∘δ.
As δ is a constant morphism, α∘δ∈P X(S) is a constant element.
Hence X is F–concrete.
For more see the references at Isbell duality.
A category with an action of C is sometimes called a C-actegory.
Explicitly this has been considered in (Rezk).
Bracketed as (g∘f)∘γ v this represents d(g∘f)(v).
Bracketed as g∘(f∘γ v) is represents dg(df(v)).
Elementary calculus Let X=Y=Z=ℝ the real line.
Then the tangent bundle TX is canonically identified with ℝ×ℝ.
Therefore we have (g∘f)′(x)=f′(x)g′(f(x)).
In this form, the chain rule is also known as Cauchy’s invariant rule.
We present a conceptual proof based on considerations of SDG.
Let D=A[y]/(y 2) be the representing object for derivations.

There is however also another meaning of a corepresentation for a Leibniz algebra.
Conversely, any flat connection determines a right C-coaction by ρ M(m)=∇(m)+m⊗g.
This amounts to a bijection between C-coactions and flat connections on M.
Or dually one can work with connection on modules over additive monads.
A quasi-connection is a connection if, in addition, ν∘∇=0.
As usually, we define a flat connection as a connection whose curvature vanishes.
In this setting one again has a bijection between flat connections and descent data.
There are similar functors for bimodules and in some other categories.

Let (a≅ †b) denote the type of unitary isomorphisms.
We may denote the inverse of idtouiso by uisotoid.
Every univalent groupoid is a univalent dagger category with f †=f −1.
This is also univalent, assuming the univalence axiom.
The composite (∞,1)-functor Shp:(∞,1)Topos→YFunc((∞,1)Topos,∞Grpd) op→Lex(PSh(−),∞Grpd)AccLex(∞Grpd,∞Grpd) op≃Pro∞Grpd is the shape functor .
This means that it is an etale geometric morphism.
One checks that these constructions establish an equivalence (∞,1)Topos(H,∞Grpd /X)≃H(*,LConstX).
The composite of these is the equivalence to be shown.
The third line is the characteristic hom-equivalences of the adjunction Γ⊣LConst .
The last step is the definition (1) of the pro-left adjoint.
Then the shape of B is equivalent to that of H. Proof

Let M be a finite dimensional smooth manifold.
An extremely useful tool when studying a submanifold is a tubular neighbourhood.
The situation for coindicence submanifolds is considered in tubular neighbourhood of a mapping space.

Let E→B be a fibre bundle with typical fibre S.
The crucial ingredient in this is what we call a local averaging function.
Let us illustrate this with S={1,−1}.
However, this will not work on M because the sum does not make sense.
Our solution is to put M inside ℝ n.
In ℝ n, we can form a 0≔12a 1+12a −1.
There is one more subtlety.
Thus their effects should be separable.
To make this concrete, we use the orthogonal structure on the ambient Euclidean space.
Then d pι:T pM→T ι(p)ℝ n embeds T pM in T ι(p)ℝ n.
Let us write this as N p.
Then N p is the fibre of the normal bundle of the embedding at p.
Let us identify M with its image.
Our first task is to construct a tubular neighbourhood.
Let us write μ:X→M for this composition.
This map μ is the local averaging function that we need.
The other half is provided by a local addition.
There is an orthogonal projection map ℝ n→T pM, projecting along N p.
Restricting this to M, we obtain a map λ p:M→T pM.
Allowing p to vary, we obtain a smooth map λ:M×M→TM.
Let us write X p for the corresponding open ball.
Let U p=U∩T pM.
Then η(U p) is a subset of {p}×M.
Let η p:U p→V p⊆M be the obvious restriction.
The map μ projects X on to M also by projecting along N p.
What we have so far can be portrayed in the following diagram.
Knowing this, we can compose α with η τα −1 to produce a map S→U.
Let us write this as Y.
This follows from the way that η τβ and τ were constructed.

The construction is invariant under measure-preserving diffeomorphisms of S.

The theorem now generalizes to labelled 1-truss bundles as follows.
Follows from the definition of 𝔗 1(C).
Importantly, the construction of 𝔗(C) is functorial in C.
This yields the labeled bordism functor 𝔗 1:Cat→Cat
Most of the theory works the same across the spectrum.
Another important part of truss theory is normalization.
We describe how this works in two examples.
Bare (unlabeled) trusses are combinatorial analogues of meshes.
The relation is given by the following theorem.
See Dorn-Douglas 2021, Ch. 4 for details.
Certain labeled trusses are the ‘combinatorial’ analogues of manifold diagrams.
We first define the class of labeled trusses we are interested in.
A 1-truss is called open if its endpoint have dimension 1.
(See Dorn-Douglas 2022, Sec. 2 for details.)
Dualization of n-trusses is an involution.
This is discussed in e.g. in Dorn-Douglas 2022.
But we can do better than this.

If R is a field then this is a vector bundle.
Note that a commutative pregroup is simply an ordered group.
These are useful as they avoid the equality a≤a⋅a l⋅a≤a⇒a=a⋅a l⋅a for all a∈P.
If we drop the two expansion axioms, we get a protogroup.
Symmetrically, if we drop the left adjoints we get a right pregroup.
Furthermore, G′ may be computed in time polynomial in the size of G.
This idea was explored in Kobele (2005).

Both algebras and coalgebras for endofunctors on C are special cases of algebras for bimodules.
Returning to the endofunctor case, the general statement is: Proposition
It is true when C is complete, however.
Entirely analogous facts are true for pointed algebras over pointed endofunctors.
The initial algebra of an endofunctor provides categorical semantics for inductive types.
Suppose C is a category with coproducts and F:C→C is an endofunctor.
Hence an initial object of (d↓U) is an initial algebra of an endofunctor.
This is made explicit in Pirog.
This is the component μ d of the monad multiplication.
There are many known ways of defining a Boolean algebra or Boolean lattice.
Here are just a few:

A short proof was found by Allan Mann (see the references).
The relation x≤y may be defined by the condition xy=x.

Any lattice homomorphism automatically preserves ¬ and is therefore a Boolean algebra homomorphism.
Boolean algebras and Boolean algebra homomorphisms form a concrete category BoolAlg.
In this case the Lawvere theory is very easily described.
We call a product-preserving functor Fin +→Set an unbiased Boolean algebra.

There’s even a nice analogy between these two trios.
An category is a place for an object to sit.
A functor is a way of changing an object.
A natural transformation changes a way of changing an object.
I haven’t quite figured out how to exploit this analogy.
But somehow I should get natural transformations (chain homotopies) into the game.

Categorical semantics The categorical semantics of an equivalence type is an object of isomorphisms.
There is one warning to keep in mind here.
We say that A carries the operations and satisfies the axioms.
We say that f preserves the operations.
A sorted variety or many-sorted variety is a generalisation.
Another generalisation is a quasivariety.
In other words, an algebra in this variety is simply a group.
Similarly, a homomorphism of such algebras is simply a group homomorphism.

Take such a question as, “Will the sun rise to-morrow?”
The answer given by Mill is that the inference depends upon the law of causation.
But if so, how are empirical generalisations to be justified?
Let us see what Mill says on this subject.
Let us take the second question first.
A similar conclusion can be proved by similar arguments concerning any other logical principle.
In their writings, logic is practically identical with metaphysics.
In broad outline, the way this came about is as follows.
This is the most important respect in which Hegel uncritically assumes the traditional logic.
Again, Socrates is particular, “mortal” is universal.
But to say “the particular is the universal” is self-contradictory.
They both arrived at their logical results by an analysis of mathematics.
After the beginnings, it belongs rather to mathematics than to philosophy.
What is in common is the form of the proposition, not an actual constituent.
The form remains unchanged throughout this series, but all the constituents are altered.
It is something altogether more abstract and remote.
We may also have knowledge of the form without having knowledge of the constituents.
This is one reason for the great importance of logical form.
Here no particular things or properties are mentioned: the proposition is absolutely general.
Before considering inference, therefore, logic must consider those simpler forms which inference presupposes.
Such an attitude naturally does not tend to the best results.
Such, for example, is the relation “brother or sister.”
Such again is any kind of similarity, say similarity of colour.
Relations of this sort are called symmetrical.
All relations that are not symmetrical are called non-symmetrical.
All the relations that give rise to series are of this kind.
Thus before, after, greater, above are transitive.
All relations giving rise to series are transitive, but so are many others.
A relation is said to be non-transitive whenever it is not transitive.
All kinds of dissimilarity are non-transitive.
Thus “father” is intransitive.
To those whose logic is not malicious, such a wholesale condemnation appears impossible.
Relations which have two terms are only one kind of relations.
A relation may have three terms, or four, or any number.
Jealousy, for example, is a relation between three people.
Thus such relations are by no means recondite or rare.
The existing world consists of many things with many qualities and relations.
And the same applies to relations of four terms or five or any other number.
Given any fact, there is an assertion which expresses the fact.
A negative assertion may be said to be a denial.
Thus a proposition is the same as what may be significantly asserted or denied.
All other kinds are more complicated.
Thus atomic facts are what determine whether atomic propositions are to be asserted or denied.
Thus logic would then supply us with the whole of the apparatus required.
But in the first acquisition of knowledge concerning atomic facts, logic is useless.
Such propositions are important to logic, because all inference depends upon them.
The practical utility of inference rests upon this fact.
But all empirical evidence is of particular truths.
They believed that all our knowledge is derived from the senses and dependent upon them.
Such general knowledge is to be found in logic.
This proposition is absolutely general: it applies to all things and all properties.
And it is quite self-evident.
Logic, we may say, consists of two parts.
But in this case it was only necessary to admit relations of two terms.
The case of judgment demands the admission of more complicated forms.
From poverty in the logical inventory, this view has often been held.
But it leads to absolutely insoluble difficulties in the case of error.
Suppose I believe that Charles I. died in his bed.
The old logic put thought in fetters, while the new logic gives it wings.

This implies that the arrow h is necessarily a coequalizer of Uf and Ug.
This sufficient, but not necessary, condition is sometimes easier to verify in practice.

But the versions mentioned above can be found in the exercises.
Let F:𝒮⟶−−−𝒮′ be a functor between small categories which is essentially surjective.
This shows that F * has a left adjoint.
So it remains to consider congruences:
Thus, by Duskin’s monadicity theorem (Thm. ), U is monadic.
This latter fact can, however, be proven using the monadicity theorem.
The monadicity theorem also plays a central role in monadic descent.
This induces furthermore a notion of homotopy fibers, hence of homotopy equivalences between types.
The name univalence (due to Voevodsky) comes from the following reasoning.
In the language of (∞,1)-category theory, a univalent bundle is an object classifier.
The univalence axiom does not literally say that anything is univalent in this sense.
Let us assume an arbitrary notion of equivalence type ≃ 0.
Now, let us assume an arbitrary notion of equivalence type ≃.
See fundamental theorem of identity types for proofs that these definitions are the same.
In addition, the internal and external versions of univalence imply each other.
The fibration E→B is univalent in 𝒞 if this morphism is a weak equivalence.
The fibration E→B is univalent, precisely when this morphism is a weak equivalence.
This appears originally as Voevodsky, def. 3.4
See (Shulman 12, UF 13) (…)
The univalence axiom implies function extensionality.
In this section we assume that the universe is a Tarski universe.
Canonicity has been proved for cubical type theory.
propositional extensionality contrary to univalence is the axiom UIP directed univalence axiom
Earlier documentation of the univalence axiom in modern form is hard to come by:
This discusses canonicity of univalence in its section 13.
(But it works with Tarski universes, see there and type universes).

Heraclitus was an ancient philosopher.
The primary source on Heraclitus is Diogenes Laërtius (~200AD).

Consider any group homomorphism G→GL(V).
Indeed, this is a phenomenon known as the torsion constraints in supergravity.
Remarkably, any such thing is an abelian algebraic group.
The assumption of connectedness is necessary for that conclusion.
Say a point of Y is a morphism p:1→Y.
Suppose f:G→H is any morphism in C preserving the identity.
Then f is a homomorphism.
Furthermore k(g,1)=1 for all g∈G so k(g,g′) is independent of g.
This says that f(g⋅g′)=f(g)⋅f(g′), so f preserves multiplication.
This in turn implies that f preserves inverses, so f is a group homomorphism.
Thus, r is constant at the identity of H, and hence so is k.
This in turn implies that G is abelian.
Then the forgetful functor U:AbVar→Var * is full.
This follows immediately from the two theorems above.

Notice that hence the composition law does not change when passing to the opposite category.
Only the interpretation of in which direction the arrows point does change.
So forming the opposite category is a completely formal process.
In the literature, F op is often confused with F.
Again, in the literature t op is often confused with t.
Note that the braiding of V is used in defining composition for C op.

Similar notions are affine space, principal homogeneous space and so on.
There is also a dual version, quantum heap.
This term also appears in English as ‘groud’.
A heap homomorphism, of course, is a function that preserves the ternary operations.
This defines a category Heap of heaps.
This construction defines a functor Prin:Grp→Heap.
There are a number of ways to define Aut(H) from H.
(We think of (a,b) as representing a −1b.)
The following theorem shows that the two equivalence relations are the same.
Similarly (ii) follows from (iii).
In particular, the categories Heap and Grp are not equivalent.
Therefore, H is an Aut(H)-torsor (over a point).
Then the empty set becomes a heap in a unique way.
For this reason, one usually requires a heap to be inhabited.

The easiest form of colourability to examine is 3-colourability.
The usual diagram for the trefoil knot is 3-colourable.
Each arc is given a separate colour and it works.)
The figure-8 knot diagram category: svg is not 3-colourable.

Here we briefly survey the relevant definitions and facts of Fourier analysis.
We use the following terminology:
This is also called the Schwartz space.
(compactly supported smooth function are functions with rapidly decreasing partial derivatives)
This is a dense subspace inclusion.
It is in this sense that tempered distributions are “generalized functions”.
(square integrable functions induce tempered distributions)
this follows immediately from the Fourier inversion theorem for smooth functions (prop. ).
(prop. does not apply here!).
This we further discuss in Microlocal analysis and UV-Divergences below.
Conversely, smooth functions are the non-singular distributions (prop. ).
This means that these directions are the “wave front” of the distributional solution.
This is called Hörmander's criterion (prop. below).
We now say this in detail:
This is called the wave front set (def. ) below.
Otherwise k is non-regular.
wave front set is the UV divergence-direction-bundle over the singular support)
Its wave front set (def. ) is WF(H)={(0,k)|k≠0}.
Let P be a differential operator (def. ).
Therefore we now collect some basic definitions and facts on Cauchy principal values.
Then this assignment PV(f):b↦PV(fb) defines a distribution PV(f)∈𝒟′(ℝ).
By symmetry of the distribution around the origin, it must contain both directions.
Let m∈ℝ be any real number, and κ∈ℂ any complex number.
These integral kernels are the advanced/retarded “propagators”.
We discuss this by a variant of the Cauchy principal value:
The last step is simply the application of Euler's formula sin(α)=12i(e iα−e −iα).
This integration domain may then further be completed to two contour integrations.
Wightman propagator on Minkowski spacetime is distributional solution to Klein-Gordon equation)
The last line is Δ H(x,y), by definition .
On the left this identifies the causal propagator by (20), prop. .
This does not change the integral, and hence H is symmetric.
Similarly the anti-Feynman propagator is Δ F¯≔i2(Δ ++Δ −)−H.
where in the second line we used Euler's formula.
In the first step we introduced the complex square root ω ±ϵ(k→).
In the fourth step we used prop. .
We follow (Scharf 95 (2.3.18)).
Next we similarly parameterize the vector x−y by its rapidity τ.
Let V be a shift space of some order.
Let T:V→V be a shift map.
It is simplest to start with the non-zero vectors, V∖{0}.
Define a homotopy H:[0,1]×(V∖{0})→V∖{0} by H t(v)=(1−t)v+tTv.
Then we define a homotopy G:[0,1]×(V∖{0})→V∖{0} by G t(v)=(1−t)Tv+tv 0.
Combining these two homotopies results in the desired contraction of V∖{0}.

Let us consider first the case of topological spaces.
Let O(X) denote the topology of X.
This is a left exact comonad on P(X).
The necessity is clear since W′⊆K.
The sufficiency is equivalent to having an inclusion W′∩int X(W∪K)↪−−int X(W∪W′).
This is well-known.
We can turn all this around.
The development given above generalizes readily to the context of locales.
Thus, let X be a locale, with corresponding frame denoted by O(X).
(NB: for topological spaces, this is U⇒V=int X(V∪¬U).
The coalgebra category forms a frame.
Objects of Gl(Φ) are triples (e,e′,f:e′→Φ(e)).
In other words, the Artin gluing is just the comma category E′↓Φ.
(In fact, this comma category is a topos whenever Φ preserves pullbacks.)
For a proof, see A4.5.6 in the Elephant.
Once again, the import of this theorem may be turned around.
This realizes E as an open subtopos of Gl(f).
The situation when j ! exists is characterized by the following observation: Proposition
Conversely, suppose that l⊣f with η:id→fl the corresponding unit.

Of course, more interesting examples of the gluing construction abound as well.
Since ⊓ is left exact, Artin gluing applies.

This does subsume what is considered in most traditional texts on the subject.
This is called the variational bicomplex.
Therefore the vertical derivative of a spacetime coordinate vanishes: δx μ=0.
This is then discussed in full detail in the Definition-section below.
These are important in the full quantum theory.
A formulation accurate and encompassing enough to see this issue is AQFT on curved spacetimes.
The authors then try to circumvent this by restricting to trivial instanton sectors.
But notice that instanton sectors is a non-negligible phenomenon.
All this is fixed by the formulation that we discuss below.
But there are more advantages, slightly less obvious.
These we come to in the following points.
For the present discussion assume that this is given.
Assume then such orientation field o X is given.
This is sometimes called the Spin-lifting bundle gerbe of o X.
A choice of Spin structure is a choice of section of this 2-bundle.
Again, this is faithfully captured only in higher geometry.
It serves as “background” over which spin structure fields can be considered.
(Discussed in detail in Ordinary gravity below.)
Hence also gravity becomes a sigma-model-type field theory in higher geometry.
But this is not considered in isolation.
These problems are fixed by passing to higher geometry.

Such groupal A ∞-algebra objects are group objects in H: ∞-groups.
In fact every ∞-group is of this form.

This leads to the following equivalent description.
This we discuss below in Relation to relative cohomology.

A gauge transformation is a local frame transformation.
Every such is a field configuration of ordinary gravity on X.
(But see example below.)
More examples of this kind we discuss below in Type II Gravity and generalized geometry.
The next example is the differential refinement of the previous one.
This is because the theory of gravity is supposed to by generally covariant.
This induces also an ∞-action also on the tangent bundle.
Moreover the trivial bundle Fields≔(Diff(X)×OrthStruc→BDiff(X))∈H /BDiff(X) corresponds to the trivial action.
Evidently there is then also a notion of higher spin structure-fields.
These appear as backgrounds when one passes from spinning particles to spinnin

Statement 2 is Adámek & Rosický (1994), Cor. 1.54.
Statement 3 is obvious, and statement 4 is a straightforward exercise.
The best one can hope for is a class-accessible category.
Let 𝒞 be an accessible category that is not essentially small.
Consider the category 𝒜 of all accessible functors 𝒞→Set.
In particular, 𝒜 is accessible if and only if 𝒜 locally presentable.
We claim 𝒜 is not accessible.
So consider 𝒞(X,−) for some object X that is not κ-presentable.
(Such an X exists because 𝒞 is not essentially small.)
That said, 𝒜 is a class-locally presentable category.

Freed: why do you call this conformal ?
That this definition is equivalent to the former one will be established below.
It is the second of these definitions that often generalises better to higher categories.
We can picture this as follows.

The following may at first seem a little surprising.
Let us demonstrate that the “if” direction holds by constructing l.

We consider the higher geometry encoded by a Lawvere theory T via Isbell duality.
Consider a site T⊂C⊂TAlg op that satisfies the assumptions described at function algebras on ∞-stacks.
These are hence called the geometric vacua or geometric backgrounds.
All other vacua are then called non-geometric backgrounds.
Analogous statements hold for most rational CFT-constructions of perturbative string theory vacua.
We list references that use the “non-geometric”-terminology.
Hence see the references at Gepner model for more.
Such closed modules can be identified with V-enriched categories having powers and copowers.

The most lighweight model for spectra are sequential spectra.
The following def. is the traditional component-wise definition of sequential spectra.
Write SeqSpec(Top cg) for this category of topological sequential spectra.
For details on this see Part S – Thom spectra.
This gives the structure maps for a homomorphism f˜:X⟶Maps(K,Y) *.
Running this argument backwards shows that the map f↦f˜ given thereby is a bijection.
But having both on the right or both on the left does not work.
The colimit starts at k={0 ifq≥0 |q| ifq<0
This canonically extends to a functor π •:SeqSpec(Top cg)⟶Ab ℤ.
The two component morphisms given in def. indeed agree.
Then consider the identity element in the top left hom-set.
By the commutativity of the diagram, these two images agree.
Hence [S 1,σ˜ n] * is an isomorphism (prop.).
From this, all statements follow by inspection at finite stages.
The fourth statement follows with similar reasoning.
This means that we actually have a bijection between classes of objects.
But it is also immediate to directly check the universal property.
For such there are two other models for suspension and looping of spectra.
However, this map is non-trivial.
It represents −1 in [S 2,S 2] *=π 2(S 2)=ℤ.
This we make precise as lemma below.
The second statement is a special case of prop. .
The other cases follow analogously.)
From this the statement Ω ∞∘Ω≃Ω∘Ω ∞ follows by uniqueness of adjoints.
So let X∈Top cg */.
The point where this does become relevant is the content of remark below.)
This is called the “strict model structure” for sequential spectra.
Accordingly, this carries the projective model structure on functors (thm.).
This immediately gives the statement for the fibrations and the weak equivalences.
It only remains to check that the cofibrations are as claimed.
Since components are parameterized over ℕ, this condition has solutions by induction:
First of all there must be an ordinary lifting in degree 0.
It is clear that Ω ∞ preserves fibrations and acyclic cofibrations.
This is sufficient to deduce a Quillen adjunction.
Hence Σ ∞ sends classical cofibrations of spaces to strict cofibrations of sequential spectra.
This shows that Σ ∞ is a left Quillen functor.
Therefore we first consider now cofibrancy conditions already in the strict model structure.
This is a shift of a trunction of the sphere spectrum.
Hence the claim follows.
With this, inspection shows that also the above morphism is a relative cell complex.
We now turn to discussion of CW-approximation of sequential spectra.
First recall the relative version of CW-approximation for topological spaces.
Let f:A⟶X be a continuous function between topological spaces.
By possibly including further into higher stages, we may choose i>n.
Hence we have obtained the next stage X^ n+1 of the CW-approximation.
There we will give a fully general account of the principles underlying the following.
Here we just consider a pragmatic minimum that allows us to proceed.
This is often referred to simply as a “topological model category”.
Such a situation is called a Bousfield localization of a model category.
Hence one also speaks of reflective localizations.
Write 𝒞 Q for 𝒞 equipped with these classes of morphisms.
Let f be a fibration and a weak equivalence.
Consider its factorization into a cofibration followed by an acyclic fibration f:X⟶∈CofiZ⟶∈W∩FibpY.
We claim that (π,f) here is a weak equivalence.
Let 𝒞 be a right proper model category.
Let Q:𝒞⟶𝒞 be a Quillen idempotent monad on 𝒞, according to def. .
The condition Fib Q=RLP(W Q∩Cof Q) holds by definition of Fib Q.
First we consider the case of morphisms of the form f:Q(Y)→Q(Y).
These may be factored with respect to 𝒞 as f:Q(X)⟶∈W∩Cof∈iZ⟶∈FibpQ(Y).
This is provided by the next statement.
We need to show that then f is a Q-fibration.
Hence it factors as i˜:X⟶∈W∩CofjX^⟶∈W∩Fib=W Q∩Fib QπY×Q(Y)Z.
Assume that f is a Q-fibration.
From this, lemma gives that p is a Q-fibration.
This combined field is also called the axio-dilaton.
Hence we use the concepts of homotopy equivalence instead of weak homotopy equivalence.
Throughout, write I≔[0,1]⊂ℝ for the closed interval equipped with its Euclidean metric topology.

Let X be a topological space and A⊂X a non-empty subset.
Consider the equivalence relation on X which identifies all points in A with each other.
The resulting quotient space is denoted X/A.
Clearly the underlying diagram of underlying sets is a pushout in Set.
Conversely, assume that A∩S⊂A and B∩S⊂B are open.
We need to show that then S⊂X is open.
Consider now first the case that A;B⊂X are both open open.
Now consider the case that A,B⊂X are both closed subsets.
This exhibits S as the intersection of two open subsets, hence as open.
Then: The total rectangle is a pushout precisely if the right square is.
Let X be a topological space.
Let X be a topological space.
Then the canonical inclusions X⟶Cyl(X)AAAA*⟶Cone(X) are homotopy equivalences.
Hence every cone is a [contractible topological space]] (example ).
Let f:X→Y be a continuous function between topological spaces.
This is called the suspension of X.
But by lemma there is also a homeomorphism Cone(f)/Cone(X)≃Y/f(X).
Hence the statement follows by the universal property of the pushout.
Let f:X→Y be a continuous function with closed image f(X)⊂Y.

A gauge transformation is a smooth bundle morphism g:P→P.
Let g:P→P be a gauge transformation.
Let M be a spacetime.

A field for P of type 𝒯 is a smooth section ϕ:M→P× ρV.
Its action functional is S 𝒯(ω,ϕ):=∫ M‖D ω(ϕ)‖ h 2+⋆(f∘ϕ).
Further, g *ψ=ρ(g˜ −1)(ψ).
Since h is invariant, the invariance of the first term follows.
The invariance of the second term is clear.
We consider G={e}, P=M, so that necessarily ω=0.
The action functional is S(0,ϕ)=12∫ M‖dϕ‖ h 2+⋆m 2ϕ 2.

We recall some facts about Clifford algebras and the spin group.
We have dimC(p,q)=2 p+q.
This gives a central extension 1→Z 2→Spin(p,q)→SO(p,q)→1.
We denote by C(p,q):=C(p,q)⊗ RC the complexification of the Clifford algebra.
The representation Σ is isometric with respect to H.
We also need some facts about spin structures.
Finally, we recall the definition of the Dirac operator.
It is defined as follows.
We write s=(X,v) with X∈SM and v∈V.
We consider the orthonormal frame α X:=λ(X):TM→R n.

The Dirac operator is now Dψ=γ i∂ iψ, where γ i:=η ikγ k.
Now, the Dirac equation is γ i∂ iψ+imψ=0.
Let’s go back to Dirac’s orginial motivation
The smallest matrices satisfying this relation are the above “gamma matrices”.
So, Dirac’s motivation actually fails for “curved spacetimes”.

Of course, if C is itself small, then every presheaf is small.
We write PC for the category of small presheaves on C.

If C is either complete or small, then PC is complete.

We also assume for simplicity that if already x∉V then fr(x,V)=x.
We will also frequently use meta-variables.
For us the set of sorts is Sort={tm,ty}.
Our raw syntax, though untyped, will be strongly scoped.
Then we have an element C(X;M→)∈Raw(V,s).
If M=x∈V, we define x[σ]=σ(x).
That is, the structural rules respect α-equivalence.
If A is a field one accordingly speaks of a differential field.

This is a sub-section of the entry cohesive (∞,1)-topos .
See there for background and context
We list fundamental structures and constructions that exist in every cohesive (∞,1)-topos.
Compare with the section Quasitoposes of concrete objects at cohesive topos.
(See the general discussion at local (∞,1)-topos.)
See also concrete (∞,1)-sheaf.
For more details on the following see also looping and delooping.
This object Ω xX is canonically equipped with the structure of an ∞-group obect.
This follows from the above proposition which says that H necessarily has homotopy dimension ≤0.
We write B:Grpd(H)→PointedConnected(H) for the inverse to Ω.
For G∈Grp(H) we call BG∈PointedConnected(H)↪H the delooping of G.
The delooping object BG∈H is concrete precisely if G is.
We may therefore unambiguously speak of concrete cohesive ∞-groups.
Suppose that also Y is pointed and f is a morphism of pointed objects.
Then the ∞-fiber of an ∞-fiber is the loop space object of the base.
This follows from the pasting law for (∞,1)-pullbacks in any (∞,1)-category.
(see simplicial group for the notation).
a morphism c:A→B represents the characteristic class [c]:H(−,A)→H(−,B).
(See Hochschild cohomology for details.)
For us it defines this G-action.
This principality condition asserts that the groupoid object P//G is effective.
By Giraud's axioms characterizing (∞,1)-toposes, every groupoid object in H is effective.
We proceed by induction through on the height of this diagram.
Of special interest are principal ∞-bundles of the form P→BG: Definition
This exhibits P^ as an A-principal ∞-bundle over P.
For the moment see the discussion at ∞-gerbe .
A slight variant of cohomology is often relevant: twisted cohomology.
Let C be pointed and write A→B for its homotopy fiber.
By definition of A as the homotopy fiber of c, its pullback is A.
The following asserts that this is equivalent to the above definition.
By the pasting law for (∞,1)-pullbacks so is then the total outer diagram.
This justifies the following terminology.
The material to go here is at Schreiber, section 2.3.7.
ForX,Y∈H, write Y X∈H for the corresponding internal hom.
These are concordances of ∞-bundles.
See remark 2.22 in (SimpsonTeleman).
This is (dcct, 3.9.1).
See also at A1-homotopy theory continuum Galois theory
We discuss a canonical internal notion of Galois theory in H.
We call this the ∞-groupoid of locally constant ∞-stacks on X.
The first statement is just the adjunction (Π⊣Disc).
In the Examples we discuss the cohesive (∞,1)-topos H=(∞,1)Sh(TopBall) of topological ∞-groupoids
For that case we recover the ordinary higher van Kampen theorem:
We call X (n+1) the (n+1)-fold universal covering space of X.
The bottom morphism is the constant path inclusion, the (Π⊣Disc)-unit.
We will obtain a formal notion of non-flat parallel transport below.
We call ♭A the coefficient object for flat A-connections.
By the pasting law for (∞,1)-pullbacks the outer diagram is still a pullback.
This follows by the same kind of argument as above.
So if the left morphism is surjective on π 0 then π 0(Q)=*.
This is precisely the condition that pieces have points in H.
More details on this are at circle n-bundle with connection.
That extra structure is that of infinitesimal cohesion.
See there for more details.
Observation If H is cohesive, then expLie is a left adjoint.
Accordingly then Lie is part of an adjunction (expLie⊣Γ dR♭ dR).
For all X the object Π dR(X) is geometrically contractible.
We have for every BG that expLieBG is geometrically contractible.
We shall write Bexp(𝔤) for expLieBG, when the context is clear.
In particular we have the following.
If H is cohesive then we have expLie∘expLie≃expLie∘Σ∘Ω.
From this we deduce that ♭ dR∘♭ dR≃♭ dR∘Ω.
For G an ∞-group, there are canonical G-∞-actions on G and on ♭ dRBG.
Fix a 0-truncated abelian group object A∈τ ≤0H↪H.
For all n∈N we have then the Eilenberg-MacLane object B nA.
This is a general statement about the definition of twisted cohomology.
The square on the right is a pullback by the above definition.
We say that this is the differential coefficient object of B nA.
The bottom square is an ∞-pullback?
Let also the top square be an ∞-pullback.
These are stable under ∞-pullback, which proves the claim.
For more on this see at differential cohomology diagram.
Let A be the chosen abelian ∞-group as above.
Let dim(Σ) be the maximum n for which this is true.
Let now again A be fixed as above.
Let Σ∈H, n∈N with dimΣ≤n.
This generalizes the notion of higher holonomy discussed above.
] denotes the cartesian internal hom; τ n−k denotes truncation in degree n−k;
conk n−k denotes concretification in degree (n−k).
In suitable situations this construction refines to an internal construction.

Examples of weight systems which are not Lie algebra weight systems are rare.
Fundamental weight systems are quantum states (arXiv:2105.02871)
This text originates in a talk at the Eighth Scottish Category Theory Seminar.
Whether true or not, one of the three was David Hilbert.
Here Hilbert's 6th problem asks mathematicians generally to find axioms for theories in physics.
(notice: mapping space … space of trajectories … path integral)
such that a trajectory or history of field configurations is a map Σ⟶X.
(Notice that after second quantization the roles change.
The category SmthMfd of smooth manifolds is too small to accomplish this.
Objects in here include smooth manifolds, also diffeological spaces and general smooth spaces.
This also contains infinitesimal objects and indeed interprets the axioms of synthetic differential geometry.
But actually in modern physics one needs a bit more than this.
A fundamental example of this is Einstein‘s notion of general covariance.
This apparent paradox is resolved in higher topos theory.
This is the formalization of “general covariance” for regions inside spacetime.
The other thing now is general covariance for fields on spacetime.
It turns out that the formalism automatically handles these now:
This is precisely the group of gauge equivalences on fields in general relativity.
Or X may be the phase space of the system.
Accordingly the mapping space [ℝ,X]∈H is the smooth path space of X.
This is the space of potential trajectories of the physical system.
This means that time evolution is then an action of ℝ on X.
In fact this is still not quite the accurate statement.
Rather a phase space is a “prequantization” of such data.
Now suppose ω is actually a symplectic form.
This statement subsumes the core ingredients of classical mechanics.
See at prequantized Lagrangian correspondence for details.
More precisely, this applies to laws of motion in mechanics.
This terminology in physics apparently originates with Richard Tolman in 1917.
See at motivic quantization for how this appears in physics.
So these are phenomena which are intrinsically phenomena in geometric homotopy theory/(infinity,1)-topos theory.
Now a miracle happens.
But there it has more dramatic consequences.
This entry is about the concept in order theory.

In particular a deformation retraction, def. , is a weak homotopy equivalence.
Every such path may be though of as a left homotopy between its endpoints.
This is the compact-open topology:

This going to be called the set of standard topological generating cofibrations.
A topological space is a cell complex if ∅⟶X is a relative cell complex.
These are called Hurewicz fibrations.
But for simple special cases this is readily seen directly, too.

Assume that [α] is in the kernel of f *.
This section recalls some standard arguments in model category theory.
Let 𝒞 be any category.
This gets already close to producing the intended factorization:
For the present purpose we just need the following simple version:
So let Y be a topological cell complex and C↪Y a compact subspace.
It is now sufficient to show that P has no accumulation point.
To that end, let c∈C be any point.
If c is a 0-cell in Y, write U c≔{c}.
Let γ be the ordinal of the full cell complex.
Hence it is now sufficient to show that β max=γ.
We argue this by showing that assuming β max<γ leads to a contradiction.
So assume β max<γ.
Let X⟶X^ be a J Top-relative cell complex.
Hence the composite π n(X)⟶≃π n(X^) is an isomorphism.
Hence π n(X^)→π n(X) has trivial kernel and so is injective.
B) I Top-injective morphisms are in particular Serre fibrations
By definition this makes X^→Y a Serre fibration, hence a fibration.
Hence X→X^ is a cofibration.
By lemma it is also a weak equivalence.
Right properness is immediate from the fact that all objects are fibrant.
Left properness needs an argument.
First check that weak equivalences are preserved under pushout of inclusion maps along cell attachments.
Then use that a general cofibration is a retract a relative cell complex inclusion.
Hence reduce to pushout along relative cell complexes.
Let 𝒞 be a category with terminal object and finite colimits.
It is immediate to check the relevant universal property.
For details see at slice category – limits and colimits.
This is called the wedge sum operation on pointed objects.
In particular this may happen for 𝒞= Top.
In other words: Top is not cartesian closed.
geometric realization of simplicial sets preserves products.
Such a full subcategory exists, the category of compactly generated topological spaces.
This we briefly describe now.
Let X be a topological space.
A subset A⊂X is called k-closed
Let X∈Top cg↪Top (def. ) and let Y∈Top.
This means that f −1(A) is k-closed in X.
In particular k is idemotent in that there are natural homeomorphisms k(k(X))≃k(X).
Hence colimits in Top cg exists and are computed as in Top.
Recall that by corollary , all colimits of compactly generated spaces are again compactly generated.
Hence the result follows with prop. .
This shows the first case.
As discussed there, these latter terms are ambiguous.
We write [𝒞,𝒟] for the resulting category of topologically enriched functors.
The following records a slightly simplified version which is all that is needed here:
Recall also the Top-tensored functors F⋅X from that example.
(While again the structure of a category with weak equivalences is evident.)

Here put that special case a bit more into the general perspective.
Dually, a projective resolution is a cofibrant replacement in the projective model structure.
We can therefore ask about derived functors of Ch •(F).
Left derived functors are dual, using the projective model structure.
In homological algebra one then speaks of hyper-derived functors.
The last step of taking cohomology groups serves to extract invariant and computable information.
It also destroys the simple composition law of functors, though.
Specifically, suppose we have a short exact sequence 0→A→B→C→0 in 𝒜.

By supposition, there exists a∈∑ iA i such that f(a)=(b j) j∈I.
We have 2 κ=2 κ×κ=(2 κ) κ.
Let f:∑ iA i⇀∏ iB i.
We define a member m(f)∈∏ iB i as m(f)(i)=n i(a↦f(i,a)(i)).
This means that m(f)∈∏ iB i∖im(f), as required.
For f:A⇀B, let n(f)=min{α∈B∣α∉im(f)}.
Then m(f′)∈B∖im(f′)⊆B∖im(f), so let n(f)=m(f′).

Then global right Kan lifts exist (as do global right Kan extensions).
There’s of course a dual definition in terms of absolute right Kan lifts.
However, for applications in string theory more refined versions of these theories matter.

Dually a co-character is a homomorphism out of k × into G.
Similarly the cocharacter lattice is Hom(k ×,G).
For topological groups one considers continuous characters.

Such properties arise from characters occurring as traces of group representations.
This construction is useful in the generalisation to transchromatic characters.

However, that function (or its graph) is not in the model!
One can enlarge the model by adding the function (and more).
In fact, every regular epimorphism is a strong epimorphism, hence an extremal epimorphism.
This also follows from the theory of generalized kernels.
This is by definition of “regular category”.
Proposition (in regular category pullback preserves effective epimorphisms)
(See Johnstone, A.1.3.4.)
Remark Regular epimorphisms are not generally closed under composition.
Taylor 1999 p. 289 gives the following example in Cat.
There is an evident regular epi e:ℕ→ℤ/3 of monoids.
But the composite 𝟚→Bℕ→BeBℤ/3 is not a regular epi in Cat.
In the category of sets, every epimorphism is regular.
Frequently, regular epimorphisms are a good choice.
In the category of groups, every epimorphism is regular.
Thus ℕ↪ℤ is not a regular epimorphism.
The page epimorphism has a list of many types of epimorphism and their relationships.
The dual concept is regular monomorphism.

This is meant as motivation and warmup.
Let X be a topological space and A↪X a topological subspace.
So the boundary vanishes possibly only “up to contributions coming from A”.
We look at some concrete fundamental examples in a moment.
Let X still be a given topological space.
Accordingly the reduced homology of the point vanishes in every degree: H˜ •(*)≃0.
Moreover, it is clear that ϵ:C 0(*)→ℤ is the identity map.
Now we can discuss the relation between reduced homology and relative homology.
It remains to deal with the case in degree 0.
This implies that H 0(x) is an injection.
This is indeed true under mild conditions:
It needs the proof of the Excision property of relative homology.
While important, here we will not further dwell on this.
The interested reader can find more information behind the above links.
Moreover the boundary inclusion is a good pair in the sense of def. .
Therefore the example follows with prop. .
The wedge sum of two pointed circles is the “figure 8”-topological space.
The following basic facts about the singular homology of CW complexes are important.

This implies the first claims by induction on n.
And in this greater generality the concept is of great practical relevance.
We say that element of G pC • are in filtering degree p.
Accordingly we have (p,q)-cycles and -boundaries.
These are still differentials: ∂ 2=0. Proof
One says in this cases that the spectral sequence degenerates at r s.
One says in this case that the spectral sequence collapses on this page.

This is the 4-sphere S 4≃ℝ 4∪{∞}.
There is a classifying space for SU(2)-principal bundles, denoted BSU(2).
We see below that Chern-Weil theory identifies this number with the instanton number.
Therefore this class completely characterizes SU(2)-principal bundles in 4d.

Topologically this is homeomorphic to the situation before, and hence just as good.

Here we describe some introdutcory basics of the general theory in concrete terms.
See ∞-Chern-Weil theory – motivation for some motivation.
These are the special cases that this introduction concentrates on.
But we get a bit more, even.
We shall write BG∈LieGrpd for BG regarded as equipped with this smooth structure.
Its cartoon description is simply X={x→idx}.
To this is canonically associated the Cech groupoid C({U i}).
The triangle in the above cartoon symbolizes the evident way in which these morphisms compose.
hence also C(U) becomes a Lie groupoid.
There is a canonical functor C({U i})→X:(x,i)↦x.
For the moment we shall be content with accepting this as an ad hoc statement.
We may think of P˜ as being P.
It is a particular representative of P in the (∞,1)-topos of Lie groupoids.
And it is equivalent to ∞Grpd, the (∞,1)-category of bare ∞-groupoids.
We now discuss the case where G is generalized to a Lie 2-group.
This is the first step towards higher Chern-Weil theory.
Write U(1)=ℝ/ℤ for the circle group.
We have already seen above the groupoid BU(1) obtained from this.
This makes it what is called a 2-group.
Let again X be a smooth manifold with good open cover {U i→X}.
These will model direct morphisms X→B 2U(1) in the (∞,1)-topos.
Let g:C(U)→B 2U(1) be a Cech cocycle as above.
This is a groupoid central extension BU(1)→P→C(U)≃X.
This is clearly the beginning of a pattern.
A cocycle C(U)→B 3U(1) classifies a circle 3-bundle .
Above we saw BU(1)-principal 2-bundles.
These groupoids P˜ are in the literature known as nonabelian bundle gerbe.
Finally the general theory of principal ∞-bundles deals with smooth ∞-groupoids.
A comprehensive discussion of such ∞-Lie groupoids is given there.
See also models for ∞-stack (∞,1)-toposes.
These are called the simplicial identities.
These in turn need to be connected by pentagonators and ever so on.
But we need a bit more than just bare ∞-groupoids.
In generalization to Lie groupoids, we need ∞-Lie groupoids.
This is equivalently a simplicial presheaf of sets.
This is sometimes called an ∞-anafunctor from X to Y.
What is the general abstract concept of an ∞-connection?
What are its defining abstract properties?
With that in hand we then revisit the discussion of connections on ordinary bundles.
There are different equivalent definitions of the classical notion of a connection.
(Constructions and results in this section are from ([SWI]).
This induces a natural morphism BG conn→BG that forgets the 1-forms.
This is equivalent to the traditional definitions.
(Constructions and results in this section are from SWII, SWIII)
We do not state the last definition for general Lie 2-groups G.
This case is important in itself and discussed in detail below.
So BG diff is a resolution of BG.
Pseudo-connections in themselves are not very interesting.
This inclusion plays a central role in the theory.
This is the kind of situation that resolutions are needed for.
This happens to be an exact sequence of 2-groupoids.
The top morphisms are the components of the presheaf BU(1).
The top squares are those of BU(1) diff.
This represents the first Chern class of the bundle in de Rham cohomology.
This is content that appeared partly in (SSSIII, FSS).
We restrict attention to the circle n-group G=B n−1U(1).
This is a cocycle in Cech-Deligne cohomology.
We may think of this as encoding a circle n-bundle with connection.
The forms (C i) are the local connection n-forms.
And this is defined fully intrinsically.
This is what we turn to now.
A general strategy for studying nonabelian ∞-bundles therefore is to approximate them by abelian bundles.
This is achieved by considering characteristic classes.
In some cases such an assignment may be obtained by integration of infinitesimal data.
If so, then the assignment refines to one of ∞-bundles with connection.
For general G we call it the ∞-Chern-Weil homomorphism.
Consider the unitary group U(N).
This construction directly extends to the case where the bundles carry connections.
Let (P→X,∇) be a Spin(N)-principal bundle with connection.
Therefore the key observation is that we have a Deligne cocycle at all.
This can be checked directly, if somewhat tediously, by hand.
But then the question remains: where does this successful Ansatz come from?
In prop. we reproduce the above example.
The construction proceeds in the following broad steps
Its CE-algebra is the de Rham complex CE(TX)=Ω •(X).

Then the constant stack on C is the stackification const¯ C:Op(X) op→Grpd.
Let (Δ⊣Γ):ℰ→Γ←Δ𝒮 be the global section geometric morphism of a topos ℰ over base 𝒮.
Without further assumption on ℰ we have the following definition.
In this case the above definition is equivalent to the following one.
Let ℰ=Sh(C) be a locally connected topos.
Locally constant sheaves are sheaves of sections of covering spaces.
When used as coefficient objects in cohomology they are also called local systems.
This is the content of Galois theory.

This is a manifestation of Bott periodicity.
There are infinite dimensional Clifford algebra constructions that appear in conformal field theory.
Such definitions will yield wrong (or boring) objects when 2 is not invertible.
The spinor norm is sometimes defined with the opposite sign.
In indefinite signature, this defines an index two subgroup of the special orthogonal group.

What does it mean for two categories to have the same collection of objects?
Additionally, the definition is only valid if the categories are in a type universe.
Is the identity-on-objects functor a functor?
The problem with this definition is twofold:
This is used in particular for defining dagger categories and groupoids.
One definition is in terms of reflective (∞,1)-subcategories:
This is HTT, def. 5.2.7.2.
Starting from a finite group G, consider the set I=G∐{m}.
Unless stated otherwise, we assume the ground field of TY(G) to be ℂ.
Since χ is symmetric and nondegenerate, TY(G) exists only if G is abelian.
TY(G) is not necessarily unique for a choice of G.
Proposition TY(G) is a unitary fusion category.
This follows from (Galindo & Hong & Rowell 2013, theorem 5.20).
All 8 of these unitary braided fusion categories (UBFCs) are modular.
The third Law expresses an invariance under the equations of motion under the Galilei group.
Many (but not all) of the examples above are cartesian closed categories.
An (0,1)-category is equivalently a proset (hence a poset).
We may without restriction assume that every hom-∞-groupoid is just a set.
Then since this is (-1)-truncated it is either empty or the singleton.
So there is at most one morphism from any object to any other.

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a number field F.
Given the homomorphism of Corollary , we can take its kernel.
This subgroup of Gal(F′/F) determines, by Galois theory, a field extension of F.

Cofunctors generalise both bijective-on-objects functors and discrete opfibrations.
Cofunctors arise naturally in the study non-cartesian internal categories.
Then Cof is isomorphic to the category of comonoids in Poly(1,1).

(Easy) abstract nonsense shows that L and R form an adjoint pair L⊣R.
Here are some examples:
The right adjoint is the nerve functor N described above.
The left adjoint τ 1 takes a simplicial set to its fundamental category.
Let E=Top and F be the functor [n]↦Δ n.
The right adjoint is the total singular complex functor S described above.
The left adjoint |−| is called geometric realization.
Therefore, SimpSet is the classifying topos of such “intervals”.
There are important model category structures on sSet.
The standard model structure on simplicial sets presents the (∞,1)-category ∞Grpd of ∞-groupoids.
Like any elementary topos, SimpSet has an internal logic.
Here we list some properties of this logic.
It is not Boolean.
By Diaconescu's theorem, SimpSet therefore does not satisfy the axiom of choice.
Moreover, natural numbers object is simply the discrete simplicial set of ordinary natural numbers.
Similarly, it satisfies Markov's principle.
Every abelian group is a commutative loop.
In this case it is the category M-Set.
Here are some initial questions we hope to better understand:
What exactly is M-Set?
How is it isomorphic to Set M?
If not, how are the two senses of M related?)
How does one calculate finite products in M-Set/Set M?
So let’s do it!
So we need to understand the functor category Set ℕ. Hmm…
I guess it doesn’t really matter what F(+1) is.
It can be any function f:X→X.
We simply have F(+n)=f n with f 0=Id.
So an ℕ-set is tantamount to a set X equipped with an endofunction f:X→X.
You could think of f as giving a discrete-time dynamics on X.
And also equipped with an element z:1→X.
And you’ve sort of answered as well the question about the two senses of M.
I’ll leave it up to you.

This is called the Dirac spinor representation in this odd dimension.
This is “supersymmetry” in physics.
The above irreducible complex representations admit a real structure for d=1,2,3mod8.

For A∈V the A-component of this map is η(ψ¯Γϕ,A)=Re(ψ †(Aϕ)).
Consider the case 𝕂=ℝ of real numbers.
For the component notation traditionally used in physics see for instance
the action on morphisms is derivable rather than primitive.
It turns out that it is sufficient to require naturality in D only.
Left-naturality corresponds to the definition of substitution for the introduction rule.
The isomorphism property corresponds to the β and η equalities.

In fact it is the counit of a comonad.
How is ∘ defined?
We impose the condition (1+at)∘f(t)=f(at) for a∈A and f(t)∈Φ(A).
But what happens if g(t) is not a product of linear factors?
Newton’s theorem on symmetric polynomials comes to the rescue.
A special λ-ring is a coalgebra for the comonad Φ above.
The counit condition forces λ 1(a)=a.
It is also traditional to denote ξ(a) by λ t(a).

A dg-coalgebra is a comonoid in the category of chain complexes.
A coaugmentation of a pre-gc is a morphism η:k→C.

Its homology H(C,∂) will be a pre-gc.
We denote the resulting categories by preDGC (resp. preηDGC).
This gives categories CDGC (resp. ηCDGC).
A coaugmented cdgc (C,∂) is n-connected if C¯ p=0 for p≤n.

It is related to the notion of classical subdivision.
We will briefly look at one such example later.
For simplicial complexes Barycentric subdivision is easiest to define for simplicial complexes.
A vertex of Sd(X) is a simplex of X.
This is what it looks like for X the 2-simplex.
The subdivided simplex therefore is the flags of that poset.
We can now define the barycentric subdivision of a simplicial set as follows.
Recall that we can make any simplicial complex into a simplicial set.
A review is for instance around (Fiore-Paoli def. 3.1).
This functorial subdivision corresponds to the classical barycentric subdivision.
Other classical subdivisions that are frequently encountered include the middle edge subdivision.
This latter is closely related to the ordinal subdivision of simplicial sets.

God thus would be that initial state of contradiction from which all is generated.

There is also a notion of strong density for sublocales.
Thus classically strong and weak density coincide.
First suppose A is strongly dense, and let U∈O(X) be positive.

The notion of strength can be motivated at least in the following ways.
(The right-strength gives expressions which are trivial in the second component.)
In particular, every monad on Set is canonically left-strong.
Under some conditions, having a strength is a property-like structure.
The definition is useful in the general case too.
The category V defines a canonical functor V^:BV→Cat.
In particular, the underlying endofunctor of a strong monad is a strong functor.
See tensorial costrength for more details.
The left-strength for the list monad works in the following way.
(For right actions, the braiding is not needed.)
Most probability monads behave analogously.
Is what’s written here somehow the same as the abstract definition?
Can we be more general than the Kleisli category and pick an arbitrary adjunction?
Moreover, given f:X→MY, write [f]:[X]→[Y].
Right unitality entails that X⊙[Y]≅X⊗Y⊙[I]≅[X⊗Y] so basically ⊙ is fixed on objects.
Is it better to fix this on the nose?
Does this violate the principle of equivalence?
Indeed, assume that M is left-strong.
The coherence laws will be satisfied.
Conversely, assume ⊙ is given.
Then we define [t X,y]:J(X⊗MY)≅X⊗MY⊙[I]≅X⊙JMY→1 X⊙[1 MY]X⊙JY≅X⊗Y⊙[I]≅J(X⊗Y).
The unit is the unit of −⊗Y⊣[Y,−] applied to X.
Left-strong monads are enriched monads
The original reference for this part is Kock ‘72.
For more on this see also the treatment at the related discussion for strong endofunctors.
Every monad on Set is Set-enriched.
In particular, it is left-strong.
Under currying, this corresponds to the map
For example, for the list monad, the map is given by
Compare with the example above.)
The reference for this part can be found in Kock ‘71, Section 1.
Let’s give a preliminary definition.
In this case, a pointwise structure and a costrength coincide.
Such a structure is the same thing as a strong monad.

Start by orienting the knot diagram.
The diagram divides the plane into various faces.
Label these faces with distinct letters.
These face labels will be the generators in the presentation.
The relations are given by the crossings in the following diagram.
Here that gives x ix j −1x kx l −1.
After doing this for every crossing, set any one face label to be 1.
(This last relation effectively deletes that generator from the presentation.)
This is a presentation of G(K).
It has five lobes when drawn in the following nice symmetric form.
Reading off the relation for this we get ag −1ef −1.
This is ‘the’ Dehn presentation of G(K) for this knot
We can eliminate f as it can be expressed in terms of the other generators.
This corresponds to something neat.
It can be useful to keep f in the presentation as we will see.

Now repeat for all the other crossings.

Needless to say, a group is an inverse semigroup.
Idempotents form a subsemigroup
Thus ef and similarly fe are idempotent.
We show 3.⇒2.; a similar proof shows 1.⇒4.
Clearly then we have 3.⇒2.⇒1.⇒4.⇒3.
When restricted to idempotents, this preorder coincides with the meet-semilattice order.
Thus the core consists of such arrows x:x *x→xx *.
In fact conditions 2. and 3. in this definition are equivalent.
Then S is a group.
We can now consider S a subset of End(S).
We now check that this map is a homomorphism.
Finally, we check injectivity.
But then s *ss *=s *ts *, so s=t.
It can be viewed as weaker form of the existence of pullbacks in 𝒞.
Here we consider the first sense (see also at “actegory”.
For the second, see at category of modules.
A (left) module category is then simply a 2-functor Bℳ→Cat.
They provide convenient notation to express various notions of rounding?.
Since ⌈x⌉=−⌊−x⌋, this is not actually a restriction.
Let (S,≤) be a preordered set.
Hence this induces an adjoint modality, as discussed there.
This is clearly already the defining condition on the floor function ⌊x⌋.
This is evidently already the defining condition on the floor function ⌊x⌋.
But Functions between such sets are unique, when they exist.

What, then, is the geometry of fundamental physics?
We discuss each topic below in three stages, in three layers.
It provides some powerful theorems which the Model Layer is secretly benefitting from.
Everybody else should ignore this.
And might this not lead to a simpler, equally rigorous account?
The leftmost columns of the following tables formulate concepts in terms of ordinary language.
We give an overview in the spirit of Synthetic Quantum Field Theory.
Hence there is a sequence: differential geometry→geometric quantization→quantum field theory
We discuss a formalization of central aspects of this entire sequence.
(For more see at Yang-Mills theory below.)
We consider here a language to reason about such phenomena formally.
In this language we have judgements such as the following.
This requirement is called the univalence axiom.
We indicate now some central judgements that are expressible in homotopy type theory.
Our language for reasoning about physics should be able to express this.

Any strong epimorphism is extremal.
The converse is true if C has all pullbacks.
Any regular epimorphism is strong, and hence extremal.
The converse is true if C is regular.
Of course, the dual properties are all true of extremal monomorphisms.
Alternative simpler proofs were found in Gambino-Sattler-Szumiło 19
Weak equivalences Simplicial weak equivalences? must also be defined more carefully.
Suppose f:X→Y is a simplicial map.
They give two (equivalent) definitions.
In general, weak equivalences are defined via (strong) cofibrant replacement.
This model structure is also right proper.
Examples The quadrics in the Euclidean plane are the conic sections.
This entry is about the concept of distributional densities in functional analysis.
For the concept in differential geometry and Lie theory see at distribution of subspaces.
Various immediate variants of this definition may be considered.
We first recall the Traditional definition.
Distributions come in various flavors, depending on what spaces of functions they act on.
The widest (and generally the default) notion is as follows.
Often one writes ⟨S,ϕ⟩ instead of S(ϕ).
As C c ∞(U) is reflexive, this agrees with the weak topology.
(see also Hör#mander 90, below def. 2.1.1).
These are functionals on C ∞(U) (test functions without compact support).
This is hence called the pullback of distributions.
Let X be a smooth manifold.
This is discussed at distributions are the smooth linear functionals.
Then we want F †(ιϕ)=ι(F(ϕ)).
If the extension exists, we have F †(ιϕ)(ψ)=ι(F(ϕ))(ψ)=⟨F(ϕ),ψ⟩
But if F + does exist then we have F †(ιϕ)(ψ)=⟨F(ϕ),ψ⟩=⟨ϕ,F +(ψ)⟩
Otherwise extending operators becomes complex.
Two instances are of particular importance: Multiplication by a smooth function θ.
Thus we define θ⋅S by ⟨θ⋅S,ψ⟩=⟨S,θ⋅ψ Differentiation.
Thus derivatives of distributions are defined to all orders.
Some examples are given in the section “examples”.
See at multiplication of distributions
As explained above, any locally integrable function on U defines a distribution on U.
As a distribution, the Heaviside measure is the famous Dirac distribution.
Meanwhile, H(x) is itself the derivative of a continuous function: G(x)=max{x,0}.
(As a functional, it maps a test function ϕ to −ϕ′(0).)
These examples are by no means curiosities.
See also operator-valued distribution and Wightman axioms.
Distribution theory has also long been used in the theory of partial differential equations.
A proof is given in these notes by Helgason.
Then u=f*T is smooth.
The existence of a fundamental solution involves a theorem of Paley-Wiener type.
This is discussed in (Moerdijk-Reyes 91).
Examples of models that support these axioms are the toposes 𝒵 and ℬ described there.
See V. Guillemin, S. Sternberg: Geometric asymptotics (free online).
Usually they are called currents.
Most well known are the theory of hyperfunctions and the theory of Coulombeau distributions.
Distributions can be alternatively described using nonstandard analysis, see there
See also hyperfunction, ultradistribution and references therein.

An orbit of the coadjoint action is accordingly called a coadjoint orbit.
It is easy to check that this respects the quotient by N.
This is the internal tensor product of E and F (using φ).
However, this convention can apply only to the morphisms, not to the objects.

At this point these are not yet coordinate systems on some other space.
The abstract worldline of any particle is modeled by the continuum real line ℝ.
This comes down to the following sequence of premises.
We write C ∞(ℝ)∈Set for the set of all smooth functions on ℝ.
These will however not play much of a role for our discussion here.
We do not regard the Cartesian spaces here as vector spaces.
follows with this notation that id ℝ n=(x 1,⋯,x n):ℝ n→ℝ n.
(This follows directly from the Hadamard lemma.)
Composition of morphisms is given by composition of functions.
Under this identification The identity morphisms are precisely the identity functions.
The isomorphisms are precisely the diffeomorphisms.
We discuss a standard structure of a site on the category CartSp.
This generates a genuine Grothendieck topology, but need not itself already be one.
There is a diffeomorphism ℝ n→≃D n.
Differentiably good covers are useful for computations.
Their full impact is however on the homotopy theory of simplicial presheaves over CartSp.
(every open cover has refinement by a differentially good open cover)
Remark Lemma is not quite a classical statement.
The good open covers do not yet form a Grothendieck topology on CartSp.
So this is a good open cover of ℝ 2.
But it has an evident refinement by a good open cover.
This is a special case of what the following statement says in generality.
Hence CartSp equipped with this coverage is a site (this def.).
This is evidently an open cover, albeit not necessarily a good open cover.
By example this good open cover coverage is not a Grothendieck topology.
has as covering families the ordinary open covers.
In the section Coordinate systems we have set up the archetypical spaces of differential geometry.
In particular we do not assume that we know beforehand a set of points underlying X.
The following definitions spell this out.
This is what the following definition formalises.
Let X be a pre-smooth set, def. .
In particular the real line ℝ is this way itself a smooth set.
Some smooth sets are far from being like smooth manifolds:
We introduce and discuss this example in detail in more detail below
In order to say this we first need a formalization of homomorphism of smooth sets.
This we turn to now.
Let X and Y be two smooth sets, def. .
The following proposition says that these two superficially different notions actually naturally coincide.
Let X,Y∈SmoothSet by two smooth sets.
With a bit of work this is straightforward to check explicitly by unwinding the definitions.
This we come to below in Smooth sets - Semantic Layer.
The latter we may regard as a K-parameterized smooth family of smooth functions Σ→X.
Combine prop. with prop. .
But PX also knows how to smoothly vary such smooth trajectories.
This is central for variational calculus which determines equations of motion in physics.
This we turn to below in Variational calculus.
This perspective allows to see good abstract properties enjoyed by the smooth sets.
This is a straightforward matter of matching definitions.
Therefore the statement follows by the comparison lemma (this prop.).
By Prop. we have an equivalence of categories SmoothSet≃Sh(SmoothManifold).
The local objects with respect to this set are manifestly exactly the constant presheaves.
This establishe a full subcategory-inclusion DiffeologicalSpace↪Sh(EuclOp).

This shows that every concrete smooth set is a diffeological space.
Such action functionals we discuss in their own right in Variational calculus below.
This function dS that assigns numbers to infinitesimal paths is called a differential form.
Here it is evaluated on infinitesimal differences, referred to as differentials.

Differential 1-forms are smooth increnemental path measures.
This is captured by the following definition.
So far we have defined differential n-form on abstract coordinate systems.
We call this the universal smooth moduli space of differential n-forms.
This we do in a moment in remark .
Notice that differential 0-forms are equivalently smooth ℝ-valued functions.
This statement is of course in a way a big tautology.
Nevertheless it is a very useful tautology to make explicit.
We discuss the smooth space of differential forms on a fixed smooth space X.
This is captured by the following definition.
This construction manifestly extends to the smooth set of differential forms
Hence the integral is now ⋯=∫ Σγ˜ *A.
Every (∞,1)-topos E has a shape Shape(E)∈Pro∞Grpd.
When E is locally ∞-connected then this is a genuine ∞-groupoid Π(E)∈ ∞Grpd.
Let H be a locally ∞-connected (∞,1)-topos and X∈H an object.
Then also the over-(∞,1)-topos H/X is locally ∞-connected (as discussed there).
These agree: Π H(X)≃Π(H/X)
Let LC(∞,1)Topos denote the full sub-(∞,1)-category of (∞,1)Topos determined by the locally ∞-connected objects.
Details are at geometric homotopy groups in an (∞,1)-topos.

There ought to be a categorified logic, or 2-logic.
There are some suggestions that existing work on modal logic is relevant.
Higher category theory may provide the right tools to take physics forward.
More speculatively, category theory may prove useful in biology.
To categorify mathematical constructions properly, one must have understood their essential features.
This leads us to consider what it is to get concepts ‘right’.
Which kind of ‘realism’ is suitable for mathematics?
It says that the partition function associated to the torus is invariant under modular transformations.
Cofibrantly resolve X in the other model structure in the same pair.
Compute Q1⊗QX, which is the homotopy realization of X.
The latter category is a direct category, which makes cofibrancy conditions particularly easy.
In particular, all objects are cofibrant.
Once again, all simplicial objects in chain complexes are Reedy cofibrant.
Consider topological spaces with weak homotopy equivalences.
Below, we use the Serre model structure.
The topological simplex Δ:Δ→Top is Reedy cofibrant as a cosimplicial topological space.
However, we can pass to the semisimplicial setting, as explained above.
In this, case Reedy cofibrancy boils down to the objectwise cofibrancy.
This is precisely the classical fat geometric realization of simplicial topological spaces.
Entailment is a preorder on propositions within a given context in a given logic.
In particular, this holds for classical logic and intuitionistic logic.
an entailment is a hypothetical judgement or sequent.
If these bimodules come from algebra homomorphisms then the sesquialgebra is a bialgebra.
In this sense sesquialgebras are a placeholder for 2-algebras.

Here we survey some paraconsistent logics.
In-depth development of particular paraconsistent logics should be done on separate individual pages.
Some men are not mortal.
Therefore, some pigs can fly.
But this is not one of the valid forms of syllogism.
The law of non-contradiction remains valid.
Minimal logic satisfies the law A,¬A⊢¬B for any A and B.
With the usual definition of linear negation, we have the following.
Ex falso quodlibet holds for the positive false, 0⊢B, essentially by definition.
But it fails for the negative false ⊥.
However, LNC fails for the positive false.
Note that linear logic does include an alternative negation which is explosive, namely A⊸0.
However, this “negation” does not satisfy some other desirable properties of negation.
(There are many other paraconsistent logics one could discuss…)
For any statement P, consider the Curry-Russell set C={x∣(x∈x)→P}.
Note that this argument does not require ECQ.

Then, if both X≤Y and Y≤X, there exists an isomorphism of sets X≅Y.
With AC, it is a trivial corollary of the well-ordering theorem.
We prove that the Cantor–Schroeder–Bernstein theorem holds in a Boolean topos.
(This can be formalized via the Mitchell–Benabou language, for instance.)
First, let’s try a little pedagogy.
How can we achieve this?
Since A≤T for every T in U, we have ϕ(A)≤ϕ(T)≤T for every T in U.
Applying ϕ again, we get ϕϕ(A)≤ϕ(A).
Hence ϕ(A) belongs to U.
Here the initial algebra A is (by construction) an initial fixed point.
Suppose given two monos f:X→Y, g:Y→X.
The second line makes sense because ¬A is in the image of g.
This classic proof is substantially the proof given in Johnstone’s Elephant, D4.1.11.
But that being said, EM is certainly the most natural supposition to make.
A proof that in a topos CSB+NNO implies Booleanness is outlined in Freyd 1994.
Naturally the left adjoint ∃ f also preserves such colimits.
Elements in A 1 are those which have no inverse images under g.
Other prescriptions are possible.
This implies that CSB holds for homotopy types/∞-groupoids.
For the notion of action functional in physics see there.
There are various variants of the notion of something acting on something else.
They are all closely related.
Quite generally one has these two perspectives on actions.

The internal logic of such a topos is two-valued logic.

Details (of what?) are written out in (Vakar 14).
The statement of Frobenius reciprocity then equivalently reads like this: ∑f(X⊗f *Y)≃(∑fX)⊗Y.
Therefore it is sometime suggestive to use the notation ∑f −1(−)≔∑f.
Using this there is then a notation of fibrant replacement of morphisms.

I’m going to take a different approach to this question.
This space is a manifold, in whatever sense you wish.
It is also a submanifold of LM, and actually has a tubular neighbourhood.
So it’s as nice as you can get!
So our first generalisation is to allow that coincidence to move.
This is LM×S 1×S 1.
Next, we consider the subset of these triples that satisfy f(p)=f(q) and p≠q.
I claim that this is a manifold.
Let us label this space as W.
The target is {(f,p,q):ℜp>12,ℜq<−12}.
But that’s not actually as simple as it might seem.
But if we destroy the labelled coincidence, what do we do with our label?
The reason is simple, but perhaps a little surprising.
This is Ryan’s objection.
We cannot fix this.
So the space in question is most emphatically not a submanifold.

Then there is a canonical group-isomorphism Aut(F)≃G.
Observe that the functor F:C→Set is the representable F=C(G,−).
Then the argument is End(F)=Set C(F,F)≅Set C(C(G,−),C(G,−))≅C(G,G)≅G.
Let BG be the delooping groupoid of the group G.
So the statement holds just as well for arbitrary monoids.
It need not have a single object for the proof to go through verbatim.
So in summary we have F≅[•] *≅Nat V(h •,−).
It is given by the end expression End(F)=∫ N∈AModV(F(N),F(N)).

Then we have natural isomorphisms hom(F c,F c′)≃C(c,c′).
There is a natural isomorphism End(Rep(G)→Vect)≃k[G].
This is equivalently the coend ⋯≃∫ N∈AMod(Vect(F(N),F(N))) in Vect.
Finally using that FinDimVect(V,W)≃V⊗W * the above coend expression follows.

This constitutes what is sometimes called the language of categories.
This we turn to further below.
But not all categories are “concrete” in this way.
Let 𝒞 be a category (Def. ).
Clearly, these are small categories (Def. ).
Let (S,≤) be a preordered set.
In fact every groupoid with precisely one object is of the form.
Let 𝒞 be a category.
This relation is known as formal duality.
Let 𝒞 and 𝒟 be two categories (Def. ).
Accordingly, this composition is unital and associative.
Let 𝒞 be a category (Def. ).
This is called the full subcategory of 𝒞 on the objects in S.

Conversely, f is called the adjunct of f˜.
It happens that there are subsequence adjoint functors:
Below in Example we identify adjoint triples as adjunctions of adjunctions.
Similarly there are adjoint quadruples, etc.
This is clearly already the defining condition on the floor function ⌊x⌋.
This is evidently already the defining condition on the floor function ⌊x⌋.
Here the logical implications are equivalently functions between sets that are either empty or singletons.
But Functions between such sets are unique, when they exist.
These hence form an adjoint triple (Remark ) Disc⊣U⊣coDisc.
We now consider a sequence of equivalent reformulations of the condition of adjointness.
The converse formula follows analogously.
The argument for the naturality of ϵ is directly analogous.
Hence it remains to show the converse.
We consider one more equivalent characterization of adjunctions:
In one direction, assume a left adjoint L is given.
Then the statement that this really is a universal arrow is implied by Prop. .
In the other direction, assume that universal arrows η c are given.
There is a canonical functor F/c ⟶ 𝒟.
The other case is directly analogous.
Suppose that R 1,R 2:𝒞→𝒟 are two functors which both are right adjoint to L.
We consider the first case, the second is formally dual (Example ).
Next let c 1↪fc 2 be a monomorphism.
But the main preservation property of adjoint functors is that adjoints preserve (co-)limits.
Let 𝒞 be a strict 2-category (Def. ).
and composition is given by the evident compositions in 𝒞.
These are also called strict 2-functors.
This is called an equivalence of categories (Def. below).
Let 𝒞, 𝒟 be two categories (Def. ).
Let 𝒟AA⊥AA⟶R⟵L𝒞 be a pair of adjoint functors (Def. ).
The second claim is formally dual.
In conclusion, we have the following three equivalent perspectives on modalities.

For the notion of directed graph as commonly understood in category theory, see quiver.
The irreflexivity condition means there is never an edge from a node to itself.
The elements of V are called vertices, the elements of A are called arcs.
Some useful examples of digraphs are based on ordinals:
We call this an ordinal digraph and denote it by the ordinal itself.
Suppose D=(V,A) is a digraph.
However, the arc-set functor Dgr(2,−):Dgr→Set is very far from being faithful.
Unwinding the definitions, here is an elementary description of such walks:
The phrase α-vertex path means any path whose domain is α.
Some special cases: If α=0, then P is called the empty walk.
The category Dgr is not especially well-behaved for a category theorist.
In both cases the culprit is the irreflexivity condition.
It does however have products indexed over nonempty sets, and equalizers.
We begin with plain monomorphisms.
It is well-known that faithful functors U reflect monomorphisms and epimorphisms.
The argument for epimorphisms is dual.
Suppose D=(V,A) is a digraph.
A path in D is a walk P:α→D whose underlying function is injective.
Or what is the same, that Dgr(1,P) is a monomorphism in Set.
Suppose D=(V,A) is a digraph.
We have the following easy result.
In a digraph D, every path is a trail.
A cycle in D is just an n-cycle in D for some n.
A digraph D is acyclic if it admits no cycles.
The map q induces a bijection on arcs: Dgr(2,q):Dgr(2,{0,…,n})→∼Dgr(2,Z n).
A slick method for doing this is by invoking a “symmetrizing” functor construction.
Theorem The functor Symm carries an idempotent monad structure.
Similarly Symm(u D) is also an identity map: u Symm(D)=Symm(u D).
The associativity of m follows by inverting a naturality square for u.
A weak cycle Z n→D is defined to be a cycle Z n→Symm(D).
Suppose D=(V,A) is a digraph and v∈V.
Suppose D=(V,A) is a digraph and v∈V.
The out-degree is defined analogously.
The axiom implies—digraphs being irreflexive— that always ¬(P(i)=P(i+1)).
This walk has a two-element image.
Suppose D=(V,A) is a digraph.
Suppose α→PV is a non-empty walk in D.
Then P(0) is called the start vertex of P.
Suppose that A,B are subsets of V, not necessarily disjoint.
Suppose D=(V,A) is a digraph.
A usual abbreviation in combinatorics for acyclic directed graph is DAG.
Here, “classical” refers to the negative definition.
The set of all weak cycles of a digraph D is denoted WeCy(D).
Then z(P) witnesses P‘s not being a cycle.
Suppose D=(V,A) is a digraph.
By definition, for each k∈ω, each k-(co)king is an ω-(co)king.
Of course, a vertex can be a king and a coking simultaneously.
Here we make no such restriction (cf. ).
In combinatorics, this is sometimes referred to as an infinite star.
Suppose D=(V,A) is a plane digraph.
A face of D is a member of the set Fa(D).

The formal justification of pasting diagrams was achieved in the late 1980.
Note that there are more than one definition of pasting scheme in the literature.
The definition which is strictly relevant to the present article is Power’s.
The importance of fixed points all throughout mathematics is difficult to overstate.
In homotopy theory the concept of fixed point becomes that of homotopy fixed point
In stable homotopy theory it becomes the concept of fixed point spectrum
Then f has a unique fixed point.
Then for every x∈A, we have f(t)≤f(x)≤x, hence f(t)≤t.
We therefore also have f(f(t))≤f(t), so that f(t)∈A.
But then it follows that t≤f(t), whence t=f(t).
Clearly this t is a least fixed point of f.)
Then the principal upward-closed set s↑ generated by s is a complete lattice.
A virtual corollary of this theorem is the Cantor-Schroeder-Bernstein theorem.
Then the restriction f:S→S satisfies 1 S≤f, i.e., f is inflationary.
It follows that f∘t≤t, but also t≤f∘t since f is inflationary.
So f∘t=t, and in particular t(⊥)∈S is a fixed point of f.
This t(⊥) is a least fixed point of f:L→L.
More information may be found at countable ordinal.
By assumption, colimG exists in C, and this colimit is preserved by F.
(To be continued.)
Then the category of F-algebras is also locally presentable.
In particular, there exists an initial F-algebra.
This is the colimit of D in Fix(F), as is easily checked.
Therefore Fix(F) is cocomplete and accessible.
This too can be “categorified” (to be continued).
Here “idempotent” involves a coassociativity condition.
These are treated in separate entries.
The reflexive completion is idempotent: ℛ(ℛ(A))≃ℛ(A).
The reflexive completion is Cauchy complete.
We have that ℛ(A¯)≃ℛ(A).
Hence Morita equivalent categories have equivalent reflexive completions.

A→ℛ(A) creates limits and colimits.
ℛ(A)→A^ preserves limits and reflects limits and colimits.

A coherent functor serves as a morphism between coherent categories.
The internal logic of a coherent category is coherent logic.
Infinitary coherent categories are also called geometric categories.
Set is a coherent category.
More generally, any topos is coherent and any pretopos is coherent.
Every Heyting category is a coherent category.
Any distributive lattice, regarded as a thin category, is coherent.
The category of PERs over a PCA is coherent.
Any coherent category automatically has a strict initial object.
Extensivity is the analogue for coherent categories of exactness for regular categories.
A coherent category which is both extensive and exact is called a pretopos.
Equivalently, they are generated by single regular epimorphisms and by finite unions of subobjects.
(In fact, the coherent topology is superextensive.)
If A,B↣C are a pair of subobjects,
Topoi of sheaves for coherent topologies on coherent categories are called coherent topoi.

Conversely, if x 2=y, then x is a square root of y.
(See Richman (1998).)
This is important for interpreting the quadratic formula.
In other words, a⇒− must be right adjoint to −∧a.
This is equivalent to the following definition.
The implication a⇒b is the exponential object b a.
Hence we can speak of an internal Heyting algebra in any category with products.
Proposition Any Heyting algebra is a distributive lattice.
That is, finite meets distribute over finite joins and vice versa.
This is a straightforward exercise applying the universal property (1).
(−⇒a)⇒a is a monad.
From Proposition it is immediate that this describes both a⇒− and (−⇒a)⇒a.
We collect some further frequently-useful facts:
Currying: ¬(x∧y)=(x⇒¬y).
These also imply the De Morgan law.
We saw in that ¬¬ is a monad.
Further: Lemma Double negation ¬¬:L→L preserves finite meets.
Proof Nullary meets are trivial: ¬¬1=¬0=1.
For binary meets, the direction ¬¬(x∧y)≤(¬¬x)∧(¬¬y) holds simply because ¬¬ is monotone.
Applying (3) and currying (by ), we have ¬¬(a⇒b)=¬((¬¬a)∧(¬b))=(¬¬a⇒(¬b⇒0))=(¬¬a⇒¬¬b).
Note that a Grothendieck (0,1)-topos is a frame or locale.
In a Heyting category, every subobject poset Sub(A) is a Heyting algebra.
In particular, this holds for every topos.
In a boolean topos, the internal Heyting algebras are all internal boolean algebras.
Similarly, we get the double negation sublocale of any locale.
One of the chief sources of Heyting algebras is given by topologies.
Thus frames are extensionally the same thing as complete Heyting algebras.
Another example is the topology of a discrete space X.
By , double negation ¬¬:L→L is a monad.
Further, by , it preserves finite meets.
Write ι:L ¬¬→L for the right adjoint, so that M=ι∘U.
Because ι is full, it reflects meets.
Therefore U=¬¬:L→L ¬¬ is a Heyting algebra quotient which is the coequalizer of 1,¬¬:L→→L.
Thus ¬¬:L→L ¬¬ preserves finite joins and finite meets and implication.
In other words, we have the following result.
In a Heyting algebra H, the elements 0 and 1 are clearly complemented.
Thus the complemented elements form a Heyting subalgebra Comp(H)↪H.
In other words, every topos is a Heyting category.
More details and examples are spelled out at internal logic#examples.
The quantization of this system yields the corresponding quantum mechanical system.
Categorical properties The category of countably tight spaces is a coreflective subcategory of Top.
More precisely, it is the coreflective hull of the subcategory of countable spaces.
there is a countable base of the topology.
metrisable: the topology is induced by a metric.
separable: there is a countable dense subset.
Lindelöf: every open cover has a countable sub-cover.
metacompact: every open cover has a point-finite open refinement.
first-countable: every point has a countable neighborhood base
a metric space has a σ -locally discrete base
second-countable spaces are Lindelöf.
weakly Lindelöf spaces with countably locally finite base are second countable.
separable metacompact spaces are Lindelöf.
Lindelöf spaces are trivially also weakly Lindelöf.
a first-countable space is obviously Fréchet-Urysohn.
a Fréchet-Uryson space is obviously sequential.
a sequential space is obviously countably tight.
paracompact spaces satisfying the countable chain condition are Lindelöf.
Via the Brown representability theorem this corresponds to a periodic ring spectrum.
Compare with the notion of weakly periodic cohomology theory.

There are many different notations used in the literature for the bidirectional typing judgments.
This is usually cited as the “original” paper on bidirectional typechecking.
Some work has been done on synthetic differential geometry in modal homotopy type theory.
This suggests a first-order definition: an ideal M is maximal if ∀x∈R.¬(x∈M)⇒∃y∈R.xy=1.
Then R contains a maximal ideal 𝔪 containing I, i.e. I⊂𝔪.
(See also at prime ideal theorem.)
To show the claim, assume that 𝒞⊂PropIdl(R) ⊂ is a chain.
We have to produce an I∈PropIdl(R) such that for all c∈C then c⊂I.
We claim that such I is provided by the union: I≔∪J∈𝒞J.
There are thus J 1,J 2∈𝒞 with x 1∈J 1 and x 2∈J 2.
We may assume the former without restriction, otherwise rename 1↔2.
Finally to see that this idea I is indeed proper.
In classical mathematics then: Every maximal ideal is a prime ideal.
Closed points are at the heart of the definition of schemes.

Different (but related) is physical unit.
This is the sense of “unit” in terms such as nonunital ring.
Exactly what this means depends on context.
Accordingly, a unit in a monoid may be defined in precisely the same way.
A group is precisely a monoid in which every element is a unit.
This is the same as a generator of M as an R-module.
There is no need to distinguish left and right units unless M is a bimodule.
Then we usually also require a unit of measurement to be positive.
In particular, u itself does.
So a is an identity.
Why is a an identity then?
But without commutativity (and associativity), this doesn't work.

Some subclasses of examples of structures in mathematics are fully combinatorial in their nature.
For example, there are so called combinatorial games in game theory.
Here we introduce and explain all this.
This allows to speak of commutative algebra internal to tensor categories.
Specializing this to the tensor category of super vector spaces yields supercommutative superalgebras.
The formal duals of these are the affine super schemes.
This we discuss in Commutative algebra in tensor categories and Affine super-spaces
This we discuss in Modules in tensor categories and Super vector bundles
We introduce the basics in Super Fiber functors and their automorphism supergroups
This is the category inside which linear algebra takes place.
Of course the category Vect has some special properties.
This is traditionally captured by the following terminology for additive and abelian categories.
Let 𝒞 be a category (this Def.).
We write V⊕W for the direct sum of two objects of 𝒞.
Recall the basic construction of the tensor product of vector spaces:
This defines a category, denoted Vect G.
A key such property is commutativity.
We will see below that this is the very source of superalgebra.
As in example , this definition makes ℤ/2 a monoidal category def. .
(See at looping and delooping).
We write k 1|0 and k 0|1 for these, respectively.
Write Line˜(Vect ℤ/2) for the resulting 2-group.
One finds (…) H 4(K(ℤ/2,3),ℤ/2)≃ℤ/2.
The following is evident but important
We now discuss one more extra property on monoidal categories
We say that A * is the right dual object to A.
There are slight variants of what people mean by a “tensor category”.
In this form this is considered in (Deligne 02, 0.1).
We consider now various types of size constraints on tensor categories.
Let 𝒞 be an abelian category.
It has a single isomorphism class of simple objects, namely k itself.
Also category of finite dimensional super vector spaces is a finite tensor category.
This is made precise by def. and def. below.
This duality between certain spaces and their algebras of functions is profound.
In the physics literature, such spaces are usually just called superspaces.
We now make this precise.
Similarly a commutative monoid in Vect is an ordinary commutative algebra.
Moreover, in both cases the homomorphisms of monoids agree with usual algebra homomorphisms.
Hence there are equivalences of categories.
Example motivates the following definition:
Hence the heart of superalgebra is super-commutativity.
We also denote this algebra by ∧ ℝ •(ℝ n)∈sCAlg ℝ.
Hence this regards a commutative algebra as a superalgebra concentrated in even degree.
We write sLieAlg for the resulting category of super Lie algebras.
This makes it immediate how to generalize to super L-infinity algebras:
Explicitly this means the following:
Now def. is equivalent to the following def. .
see at signs in supergeometry for more on this).
(If they are, then they are Weil algebras).
This is not equivalent to the concept in def. . Example
These are often called ℤ-graded commutative algebras.
See at the chapter on homotopy types the section Categories of chain complexes.
The following relation between ℤ-grading and ℤ/2-grading is elementary but important.
Proof It is clear that the functor (−)| 0,1 is essentially surjective.
Hence we need to see that it is fully faithful.
Hence (−)| 0,1 is fully faithful.
See at spectral super-scheme for more.
It is immediate to see by direct inspection that per is a faithful functor.
This is clearly an epimorphism, but not a monomorphism, hence not an isomorphism.
We also call this the affine scheme of A.
We also call this the algebra of functions on X. Definition
See at geometry of physics – supergeometry for more on this.
Monoids are preserved by lax monoidal functors:
A key such construction is that of vector bundles over X.
Write Γ X(V) for the set of all such sections.
Observe that this set inherits various extra structure.
This hence yields a new section c 1σ 1+c 2σ 2.
Hence the set of sections of a vector bundle naturally forms itself a vector space.
But there is more structure.
This operation enjoys some evident properties.
These “generalized vector bundles” are called “quasicoherent sheaves” over affines.
We now state the relevant definitions and constructions formally.

The extension of a degree-0 line bundle by a degree-1 line bundle is stable.

Postnikov systems are also used to define generalizations of stability conditions in triangulated setup.
We call f∈K[X]−{0} separable if it has no multiple zero in K¯.
A subfield K⊂L⊂K¯ is called separable over K if each α∈L is separable over K.
The separable closure K S of K is defined by K S≃{x∈K¯|xisseparableoverK}.
From xyz it follows that the inclusion K⊂K S is Galois.
The Galois group Gal(K S/K) is called the absolute Galois group of K.

Every M-fibration is a canonical fibration.
Let r:UA→2 be a retraction of the injection 2→UA.

This is, however, very different from the picture of strings as flux lines.
Interestingly, even now people often don’t distinguish between these approaches.
However there are cases in which t’Hooft’s mechanism is really working.
We may thus speak of the ‘Col+ of all Cols.’
One formalization of this idea is that of a Grothendieck universe.
If the universe U is understood, we may simply say small and moderate.
In other words, every set is small if your universe is large enough!
Conversely, every such V κ is a Grothendieck universe.
Please see universe in a topos.
Thus, we can find a sequence U 1∈U 2∈U 3∈… of universes.
Every U-small category is locally U-small.
Let C be a U-small category.
(USet itself is the special case of this where C is the point.)
Now let C be a U-moderate category (and not small).
However, it is locally U-moderate.
Constructing a possibly trivial integral domain from a commutative ring
From every commutative ring, one could construct a possibly trivial integral domain.
The quotient of R by I D is the possibly trivial integral domain of R.
These are simply called integral domains in LombardiQuitté2010.
Possibly trivial discrete integral domains have decidable equality.
See also commutative ring integral domain possibly trivial field References
And structures of type T in E is what geometric morphisms E→F classify.
Classifying toposes can also be defined over any base topos S instead of Set.
An example would be the theory of groups.
An example of a finite limits theory would be the theory of categories.
(Such functors are called left exact, or ‘lex’ for short.)
Each type of theory may be considered a 2-theory, or doctrine.
We now say this in precise manner.
In the following a cartesian site means a site whose underlying category is finitely complete.
This appears as (Johnstone, lemma C2.3.8).
This appears as (Johnstone, cor. C2.3.9).
Note that Set has no non-trivial subtoposes.
The contradictory theory {⊤⊢⊥} has no models in any nontrivial Grothendieck topos.
This is the topos of “Γ-sets”; see Gamma-space.
For groups We discuss the finite product theory of groups.
This theory has a classifying category C fp(Grp).
For more details, see Lawvere theory.
By Gabriel-Ulmer duality, the opposite of this is C fl(Grp).
This gives the classifying topos for groups: S[Grp]=Set C fl(Grp) op.
This appears as (Moerdijk 95, prop. 5.4).
First assume that X is a flat functor.
Hence this category is a poset.
Conversely, assume that X is the nerve of a linear order.
This is a special case of the case of Cover-preserving flat functors below.

There is a canonical geometric morphisms PSh(BG)→Sh(ℬG).
This is (Moerdijk 95, theorem 1.1, proven in chapter IV).
The category Sh(G ו) of sheaves on this simplicial space is a topos.
This idea admits generalizations to localic groups — and even to localic groupoids.
For more details, see classifying topos of a localic groupoid .

A useful discussion of this idea starts here.
In other words, geometric morphisms E→Set C op are the same as flat functors C→E.
This is Diaconescu's theorem.
The classifying topos of this theory is again E.
This appears as (Johnstone, remark D3.1.13).

Idea Embeddings of differentiable manifolds are submanifold inclusions.
As a concrete examples, consider the function (sin(2−),sin(−)):(−π,π)⟶ℝ 2.
says that this is twice the dimension of the manifolds to be embedded.
This is an immersion.
Hence it remains to see that it is also an embedding of topological spaces.
There are two parts to showing that this space is contractible.
The first is showing that it is not empty.
The second is to exhibit a contraction.
Showing that it is not empty is a partition of unity argument.
The key property is the existence of a shift map.
Let M be a smooth manifold.
Let V be an infinite dimensional locally convex topological vector space.
The more general case will follow from that.
We define ψ:M→V by composing this with the inclusion ℝ (∞)→V.
We claim that this is an embedding.
The first thing to show is that it is continuous.
Then there is some i such that x∈U i.
The next thing to show is that it is injective.
Suppose that x,y∈M are such that ψ(x)=ψ(y).
This means that x and y lie in the domain of the chart ϕ i.
Moreover, as ψ(x)=ψ(y), we must have ψ i(x)=ψ i(y).
We want to show that ψ is a topological embedding.
Let W⊆ℝ n+1 be the open subset where the last coordinate is non-zero.
Then p i −1(W) is open in ℝ (∞).
We define a map W→ℝ n by (x,t)↦t −1x.
Now suppose that V⊆M is an arbitrary open subset.
Hence ψ is an embedding.
The case for an arbitrary V is a simple adaptation of the above.
To ensure that it is an embedding, we need suitable projections V→ℝ n+1.
Pick a non-zero vector v 1∈V.
Now choose a non-zero v 2∈kerf 1.
Let M be a smooth manifold.
The assumption on the functionals is there to show that x≠0.
Let us show why this is the case.
For a finite set F⊆ℕ, let f F=∑ j∈Ff j.
Now for each y∈M, there is some finite F⊆N for which ∑f j(y)=1.
Let us pass to that subnet.
It therefore has a convergent subnet with limit, say x′.
Hence ψ(M) is closed in V.
For ℓ 2 we can take weighted projections, say f j=1jp j.
In this case, our dual vectors will be {je j}.
For ℓ ∞ we can take weighted projections corresponding to a sequence in ℓ 1.
In, say, ℓ 2 then this sequence converges to 0.
Essentially, ψ(x n) gets more and more diffuse.
It follows from the existence of a split map.
Let V be a locally convex topological vector space which admits a split map.
Then the space of embeddings, Emb(M,V), is contractible.
Another collaborator in parts of that work has been Michel Vaquié.
Such a situation is expressed by a short exact Milnor sequence (below).
The category Ab (ℕ,≥) of towers of abelian groups has enough injectives.
Now observe that each injective J • q is a tower of epimorphism.
Hence the plain limit over this diagram represents the homotopy limit.
Chopping that off by forming kernel and cokernel yields the claim for positive q.
For q=0 it follows by inspection.
The de Rham differential ω≔dθ is a symplectic form.
Hence every cotangent bundle is canonically a symplectic manifold.
This type of proof may be adapted for use in undergraduate classrooms.
Our proof should help circumvent that impression.
Now put V≔⋂ i=1 nW i.
The “if” half is not quite so routine.
Let K⊆Y×X be the topological closure of the set Δ={(x,x):x∈|X|}.
By hypothesis, π(K) is closed in Y, and contains X.
It follows that K contains a point of the form (∞,x).
In other words, C i∩U is inhabited.
I don’t know who first invented it though.
There are actually quite a few proofs of Proposition that appear in the literature.
One readily checks that K is closed.
Thus π(K)⊆Y is closed by hypothesis.
This characterization doesn’t require any form of Choice.
(This argument was also reprised here.)
We do this by induction on κ.
The case κ=0 is trivial.
It will be convenient to introduce some notation.
Let K⊆X κ be closed, and put K β≔Cl(π β κ(K)).
we are now trying to extend this up to κ.
The full answer to this question is of great importance for theoretical physics.

This is discussed at relation between type theory and category theory.
Homotopy type theory can hardly add a previously unknown fact here.
Traditionally inductive types are in category theory interpreted as algebras over an endofunctor.
The natural notion is instead that of an algebra over a monad.
These are called black rings.
Their KK-reduction down to 4 dimensions yields again ordinary black holes.
This plays a central role in the discussion of black holes in string theory.

Let 𝒞 be a small category which has finite products.
Types tell you what kinds of global points you can add.
Let M be a model (in Set) of a first-order theory.
Let m¯=(m 1,…,m n) be a tuple of elements from that model.
These correspond to filters of definable sets.
Saturated models always exist (maybe modulo some large cardinal assumptions.)
Inside a monster 𝕄 things often get more explicitly geometric.
This paves the way for model-theoretic Galois theory.
Types generalize points by replacing them with their principal ultrafilters of definable sets.
Other “spectral” intuition also applies.
Finally, one may expand the model M a larger model M′.
This point of view is used especially for the generalization, so called Galois types.
We start with some definitions:
T locally omits Σ if and only if T does not locally realize Σ.
The omitting types theorem is a converse for any consistent theory in a countable language:
This generalises the identity-assigning function of a small category C.
With this notation, the pullback of differential forms along this embedding is notationally implicit.
Each of these has an analogous version for two-sided fibrations.
This can equivalently be described as the comma object (1 A/p).
For this we can use the characterization of Proposition .
See fibration in a 2-category.
When we combine variance of iteration, however, we obtain two-sided fibrations.
In particular, we have Fib(B,A)≃Opf Fib(A)(A×B).
For Grothendieck fibrations in Cat, this means the following.
First we write out E F in detail.
We check that this construction yields a two-sided fibration.
One checks that this yields an equivalence of categories.

It plays an essential role in the construction of the Thomason model structure.

It is easy to show that a composite of fibrations is a fibration.
The problem is how to construct it.
The theory for handling such a problem is categorical algebra.
We want to lift the concepts of ring and module from abelian groups to spectra.
This requires a general idea of what it means to generalize these concepts at all.
The abstract theory of such generalizations is that of monoid in a monoidal category.
These examples are all fairly immediate.
Let (𝒞,⊗,1) be a monoidal category, def. .
This is naturally a (pointed) topologically enriched category itself.
The action property holds due to lemma .
These monoids are equivalently differential graded algebras.
The A-modules of this form are called free modules.

Regard this as a pointed topologically enriched category in the unique way.
The operation of addition of natural numbers ⊗=+ makes this a monoidal category.
This will be key for understanding monoids and modules with respect to Day convolution.
This perspective is highlighted in (MMSS 00, p. 60).
This is the form in which the structure of ring spectra usually appears in examples.
We write FMod for the resulting category of modules over the monoidal functor F.
Now we may finally state the main proposition on functors with smash product:
This is stated in some form in (Day 70, example 3.2.2).
It is highlighted again in (MMSS 00, prop. 22.1).
(We had previewed this in Part P, this example).
The braiding is, necessarily, the identity.
Here S V denotes the one-point compactification of V.
But seq is not braided monoidal.
The first statement is clear from inspection.
This we call the symmetric monoidal smash product of spectra.
We now define symmetric spectra and orthogonal spectra and their symmetric monoidal smash product.
We write OrthSpec(Top cg) for the resulting category of orthogonal spectra.
Definitions and are indeed equivalent to def. :
We discuss this for symmetric spectra.
The proof for orthogonal spectra is of the same form.
Hence the statement follows by induction.
Other structural set theories should contain an axiom similar to Lawvere's axiom of products.
Instead, one may construct ordered pairs out of some more basic operation.
Equality of proofs of a proposition is represented by a proposition.
This in other dependent type theories is called a identity type or a path type.
The above rules makes the dependent type theory into a model of intuitionistic propositional logic.
If the propositional logic is classical, then the categorical semantics is a Boolean algebra.
This was originally realized by Ross Street.
We sketch a characterization of cofibrations in VCat, where V is any Bénabou cosmos.
Let A→fB←gC be a cospan and let D=(A×I)+ AB+ C(C×I).
We claim that D has the following description.
A and B and C are (disjoint) full subcategories of D.
We write A→iD←jC for the inclusions.
Now suppose that B is a coalgebra for the 2-comonad in question.
Therefore, f and g are fully faithful inclusions with disjoint images.
Such a thing is sometimes called a gamut from A to C.
Binary composition is subtler.
However, B+ CD will not be codiscrete even if B and D are.
This suggests the following definition.
Co-conservative morphisms are also called liberal.
But orthogonality with respect to all such morphisms is precisely representable fully-faithfulness.
Maps out of a cocomma object are in canonical correspondence with 2-cells in K.
, then A→F←B is a codiscrete cofibration.
Since ℰ-morphisms are cofaithful and liberal, A→F←B is certainly codiscrete.
That it is a cofibration is proven as in (MB, 4.18).
This is essentially (MB, 4.20).
This implies, of course, that ℰ contains the codiscrete cofibrations.
However, it is not equippable, even when V=Set.
This is essentially (MB, 3.4).
For proof see here at equivariant Hopf degree theorem.

One of his interests concerns the theory of operads.
Let (M,⋅,e) be a monoid and consider L=𝒫(M).
Any lattice ordered group gives a residuated lattice.
This is described in the entry on lattice ordered groups.
These mappings are order preserving, so give endofunctors on the category L.
For instance, suppose x≤y and we have a⋅y≤b.
We then have y≤a/b, and hence x≤a/b, i.e. a⋅x≤b.
Now take b=a⋅y.
We have thus that a⋅x≤a⋅y, as required.
Likewise −/a acts like a right exponential object functor.
This point of view is explored further in the entry on residuals.
This is the monadic formulation of descent theory, “monadic descent”.
The main theorem is Beck’s monadicity theorem.
Then effective descent morphisms for the codomain fibration are precisely the regular epimorphisms.
(Use conservative pullback along epimorphisms in the monadicity theorem.)
One of the most basic examples of bifibrations are codomain fibrations cod:[I,C]→C.
Accordingly, monadic descent applied to codomain fibrations archetypically exhibits the nature of monadic descent.
We therefore spell out this example is some detail.
Therefore monadic descent with respect to codomain fibrations encodes descent of bundles.
Hence the shape of the fibers may change drastically as we push bundles forward.
Its fiber over an object X∈C is the overcategory C/X.
In components this is an object P equipped with a morphism ρ P:TP→P.
This pullback along a composite of morphisms may be computed as two consecutive pullbacks.
So it is a transition function.
In the above section we considered monadic descent of bundles P→Y along morphisms f:Y→X.
Let C be a category with pullbacks and let G be an internal group in C.
Let π:P→X be the coequalizer of ν and p.
We do not assume P to be trivial.
The two diagrams above are truncations of augmented simplicial objects in C.
We want to relate these objects to monads.
This rule extends to an isomorphism of monads T≃T˜.
This matches one of the definitions for an equivariant sheaf.
This models, dually, an algebraic version of vector bundles over affine schemes.
See there for details and geometric interpretations.
Another example is in gluing categories from localizations.
All the ingredients of monadic descent generalize from category theory to higher category theory.
For more on this see higher monadic descent.

consequently the preceding properties continue to hold when the adjective ‘measurable’ is removed.
There is no notion of null or full subsets of such a space.
Another variation, used especially in constructive mathematics, is a Cheng measurable space.
A set is measurable iff it appears as one component of a complemented pair.
These are actually equivalent concepts.
This is actually better behaved than it may at first seem.
This fact depends on the smoothness and fails for topological manifolds.

This entry is about the concept of “exact functors” in plain category theory.
For the different concept of that name in triangulated category theory see at triangulated functor.
However, many functors are only “exact on one side or the other”.
Dually, one has right exact functors.
A functor is called exact if it is both left and right exact.
‘Left exact’ is sometimes abbreviated lex.
Similarly, but more rarely, ‘right exact’ is sometimes abbreviated as rex.
Right exact functors between categories of modules are characterized by the Eilenberg-Watts theorem.
See there for more details.
We now discuss this case.
Also: if F is exact then it preserves chain homology.
We discuss the first case.
The second is formally dual.
The third combines the two cases.
This means that 0→F(A)→F(B)→F(C) is an exact sequence, as claimed.

The second big open question is the problem of quark confinement.
Quarks are the constituents of various elementary particles, such as protons and neutrons.
It is an enduring mystery why quarks are never observed freely in nature.
This includes quark confinement, mass generation, and chiral symmetry breaking.
But we are lucky to have a tractable and fundamental problem to solve while waiting.
Hadrons are composed of quarks and are thus not fundamental particles of the Standard Model.
However, their properties follow from yet unsolved mysteries of the strong interaction.
The quark confinement conjecture is experimentally well tested, but mathematically still unproven.

Classical Galois theory classifies field extensions.
There is an analogue of the Galois correspondence in this setting, see Mathew 14.
This means that we have K≃L Gal(L/K).
Let K¯ be a fixed algebraic closure of K.
We call f∈K[X]−{0} separable if it has no multiple zero in K¯.
A subextension L⊂K¯ is called separable over K if each α∈L is separable over K.
We henceforth consider Gal(L/K) as a profinite group in this way.
Let K⊂L be a Galois extension of fields with Galois group G.
Then the intermediate fields of K⊂L correspond bijectively to the closed subgroups of G.
This appears for instance as Lenstra, theorem 2.3.
This naturally raises the question of what corresponds to non-transitive G-sets.
If N has a basis it is called free (over A).
In this case, N is a finitely generated free module.

The separable closure K S of K is defined by K S≃{x∈K¯|xisseparableoverK}.
From xyz it follows that the inclusion K⊂K S is Galois.
Then there is an equivalence of categories SAlg K op≃π 1(SpecK)Set.

For K a field let Et(K) be its small étale site.
Then Galois extensions of K correspond precisely to the locally constant objects in ℰ.
The full subcategory on them is the Galois topos Gal(ℰ)↪ℰ.
The Galois group is the fundamental group of the topos.
Accordingly in topos theory Galois theory is generally about the classification of locally constant sheaves.
The Galois group corresponds to the fundamental group of the topos .
This will (one day be) discussed at Long March.
Grothendieck calls varieties which are completely determined by their étale fundamental group, anabelian varieties.
His anabelian dream was to classify the anabelian varieties in all dimensions over all fields.
This can be seen to relate to questions of the étale homotopy types of varieties.
(Not that I can shed much light on progress in dimension one.)
Perhaps there is an anabelian version of the homotopy hypothesis or something of that nature.
Some of the material above is taken from this.
In this case r is called a retraction of B onto A. id:A→sectioniB→retractionrA.
Here i may also be called a section of r.
Hence a retraction of a morphism i:A→B is a left-inverse.
The entire situation is said to be a splitting of the idempotent B⟶rA⟶iB.
Dually, a split monomorphism is the strongest of various notions of monomorphism.
Then a retract of a representable functor F=PSh(C) is itself representable.
In arrow categories Let Δ[1]={0→1} be the interval category.
In particular the defining classes of a model category are closed under retracts.

The topology on 𝕀 ℚ is strictly finer than the subspace topology inherited from 𝔸 ℚ.

The notation J K is also common.
The idele class group is a key object in class field theory.
Notice that by construction there is a diagonal map ℚ ×→𝕀 ℚ.

The simplex category may be regarded as the category of all linear directed graphs.
The tree category generalizes this to directed rooted trees.
We define the category Ω finite symmetric rooted trees.
A morphism of trees in Ω is a morphism of the corresponding operads.
A presheaf on Ω is a dendroidal set, a generalization of a simplicial set.

For instance, a (pre)sheaf on Diff is a generalized smooth space.
Working in the (∞,1)-category ∞Grpd of (∞,0)-categories amounts to doing homotopy theory.
More generally we have topoi of sheaves, and (∞,1)-topoi of (∞,1)-sheaves.
For instance, an ∞-Lie groupoid is an (∞,1)-sheaf on CartSp.
This is part of the statement of HTT, theorem 6.1.0.6.
This is derived from the following equivalent one:
See also (WdL, book 2, section 1).
A morphism between (∞,1)-toposes is an (∞,1)-geometric morphism.
The (∞,1)-category of all (∞,1)-topos is (∞,1)Toposes.
The argument is entirely analogous to that of the closed monoidal structure on sheaves.
For the first statement to be proven, consider the following sequence of natural equivalences:
This is HTT, prop. 6.3.5.1.
The (∞,1)-topos H /X could be called the gros topos of X.
A geometric morphism K→H that factors as K→≃H /X→πH is called an etale geometric morphism.
Details on this relation are at models for ∞-stack (∞,1)-toposes.
An indexed category is a 2-presheaf.
Let 𝒮 be a category.
Let ℂ:𝒮 op→Cat and 𝔻:𝒯 op→Cat be indexed categories.
In other words, it’s a lax commutative triangle over Cat.
These morphisms correspond to morphisms of fibrations through the Grothendieck construction.
Recall the notion of geometric function object from geometric function theory:
So an object in C(X) is a morphism ψ:Ψ→X in H.
Here the outer diagram exhibits a morphism k:f *Ψ→Φ.
By the above fact both properties are equivalent.
So we get C(X× ZY)≃C(X)× C(Z)C(Y) remarks
Recall the notion of ∞-quantity.
Now pullback is left adjoint and push-forward is right adjoint.
IV. Expressing additivity of a category via subtractivity.
Typically one is interested in this geometric realization up to weak homotopy equivalence.
Write |−|:sSet→Top for the geometric realization of simplicial sets from sSet to Top.
This is called the Thomason model structure.
An alternative proof is given in (Barmak 10).
The statement still remains true for a pair of adjoint functors 𝒞⇆𝒟.
Write * for the terminal category.
This is due to (Thomason 79).

This paper listed many examples and proved many properties of fusion categories.
By the homotopy hypothesis this explains how they induce 3d TQFTs.

Finite, connected, semisimple, rigid tensor categories are linear
Hence the contour integral picks out the enclosed residues.
This is also known as Cauchy’s differentiation formula.
Here is a proof written in terms of synthetic infinitesimals as in synthetic differential geometry:
Let ϵ be a nilpotent.
Let S ϵ denote the circle of radius ϵ centered at ζ.
Hence the above integral is equal to ∫ 0 1[f(ζ)+ϵexp(2πit)∂f(ζ)∂z]dt=[f(ζ)+ϵ∂f(ζ)∂z∫ 0 1exp(2πit)dt]=f(ζ).

The term Yoneda reduction was coined by Todd Trimble in his (unpublished) thesis.
There are various formulations of the Yoneda lemma.
The analogy between presheaves and modules can be pursued considerably further.
Again, we start with the perhaps more familiar context of rings and modules.
Thus the monoidal category of R-bimodules is biclosed.
2-cells are homomorphisms of bimodules.
(Lost a bunch of work, due to vagaries of computers.
I need to think through the argument carefully again.)
Todd Trimble talks about Yoneda reduction on the nCafé here.
More generally the homotopy Whitehead formula applies to general cocycles in cohomotopy.

This uniqueness (under mild conditions) is one reason for interest in supergravity theories.
This constraint is variously known as the superspace constraints or as rheonomy .
This is where all the interest into these manifolds in string theory comes from.

One also speaks of generalized Calabi-Yau spaces.

They should however be related to natural analytic motivic coefficients.
There are two definitions of a topological submersion p:Y→X:
The second definition includes the first as a special case.
Surjective topological submersions form a singleton Grothendieck pretopology on Top.
This is because an idempotent monad is called a reflector (A1.1.1), there.
These are often called elementary Lie groups.
We obtain a functor 𝒮(−):AbLie op→TVS.
These are the hemi-n-spheres.
T(n) is then the set of n-ary operations.

But one should be aware of them, and of sometimes unique material exposed there.
A Heyting field with decidable equality is a discrete field.
The following proof is due to Mark Saving: Definition
Let p be a proposition.
Suppose x does not have a multiplicative inverse.
Then we see that x −1 is not in R p.
If p held, we would have x−1∈R p.
So we know ¬p holds.
But this is a contradiction.
Therefore, x must be zero (using decidable equality).
Conversely, suppose R p is a Johnstone residue field.
Suppose R p is a Heyting field.
In either case, we see that p holds.
And if R p is a discrete field, it is clearly a Heyting field.
So we have full excluded middle.
This article is about a classical set theory axiom.
Some literature instead uses this name for an unrelated weakening of AC.
For that notion, see axiom of multiple choice.
Such an f is called a choice function for S.
However, it is strictly weaker in ZFA and other similar set theories.
This entry is about smooth morphisms of schemes.

One calls these homotopy fibers therefore differential string structures.
In this section here we review this explicit cocycle construction.
In the next section we discuss a systematic way to derive this construction.
(This can be done because π 1(G)=*.)
(This can be done because π 2(G)=0.)
This implies that c(g) is indeed a Cech cocycle.

We briefly recall the general approach and then spell out the details.
Also note that inv(b k−1ℝ)≅CE(b kℝ).

Under construction: Extracted from a series of tweets by Syzygay Idea
Let R be a (commutative unital) ring.
Suppose I is a flat idempotent R-ideal.
To be a flat ideal means −⊗I is an exact functor.
The tensor product is always right exact, so in particular, −⊗I preserves injections.
We take the full subcategory of R-modules spanned by M so that I⊗M≡M.
(This is not the actual definition, but this is an equivalent category.
j* does legitimately map into alModR.
To prove this, we must show that I⊗jM≅jM. I⊗jM = I⊗(I⊗M).
An R-module M is (I-)almost 0 if IM = 0.
The only defect to being 0 is killed by the identity-like ideal.
Let f : M → N be an R-linear map.
f is almost injective if ker f is almost 0.
f is almost surjective if coker f is almost 0.
f is an almost isomorphism if ker f and coker f are almost 0.
So we do also get a form of “almost” hom-tensor adjunction.
What are examples of rings R with flat idempotent ideals I?
One application is proving the tilting equivalence of perfectoid algebras.
Hence, we can reduce some problems in mixed char to char p.
The category of I-almost 0 modules is a Serre subcategory of Mod R.
These pure sets are the von Neumann ordinals.
One can construct this as a quotient set of that collection.
The class of ordinals is itself well-ordered.
There are many equivalent ways to define this ordering.
With the von Neumann definition, this is equivalent to simply saying that α∈β.
A limit ordinal is any ordinal which is not a successor of any other ordinal.
This appears as (Bunke-Nikolaus-Völkl 13, lemma 7.12).

We state the definition below in Def. .
First we need the following preliminaries:
In the context of differential geometry over D, such functions are sometimes called paraholomorphic.
An irrational number is of course a number that is not rational.
As such, the concept is perhaps uninteresting.
We may define an irrational complex number similarly.
We may give 𝕁 a topology as a subspace of the real line ℝ.
In any case, they only used such numbers.
The homeomorphism is given by continued fractions (see below).
This is a Cauchy sequence whose limit is irrational.
Furthermore, every irrational number has a unique representation in this way.
The usual proofs of these theorems are entirely constructive.
We can unravel this as follows, using more traditional notation.
Let LX denote the spectrification being constructed.
This makes ℓ into a map of prespectra.
Causal index sets are needed to define the notion of a causal net of algebras.

A poset with such a relation is called a causal index set.
One example is explained in the Idea section.
Set M⊥N iff M∩N=∅, then this defines a causal disjointness relation.
This is an example of a causal complement.
The Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms of ZFC are named after him.
At the end of his essay Russell recapitulates: …
This is particularly true for software systems.
Computer algebra systems provide algorithms for symbolic computation.
Computer theorem proving systems provide tools for creating formal proofs.
There are no MMSs today that provide highly integrated symbolic computation and formal deduction capabilities.
One cannot add fundamental capabilities as an afterthought.
Thus orbispaces are to topological spaces roughly what orbifolds are to manifolds.
Write Orb for the global orbit category.
Then its (∞,1)-presheaf (∞,1)-category PSh ∞(Orb) is the (∞,1)-category of orbispaces.
Hence cellular topological stacks are equivalently the objects of equivariant homotopy theory.
(apparently the term is first used here?)
This can be expressed in terms of the bicategory Span in several ways.
Let C be a category of fibrant objects with interval object I.
By the universal property of the limit, it represents the collection of these transformations.
The dual notion is that of co-span co-trace.

Another difference is that transport generally behaves better with cubical path types.
Ordinary differential cohomology classifies circle n-bundles with connection.
In low degree these are ordinary circle bundles with connection.

Many exactness properties can be phrased in terms of certain colimits being van Kampen.
Let C be a category with pullbacks.
Its Grothendieck construction is the codomain fibration.
Let G:D→C be a diagram with colimit x.
Suppose C has all colimits of D-shaped diagrams.
F′ is a colimiting cocone.
We denote this category by ([D,C]⇓G).
Now this functor has a left adjoint given by taking colimits.
Thus, it is an isomorphism just when (1)⇒(2).
The condition (2)⇒(1) is a form of descent.
Examples A category with pullbacks is lextensive just when coproducts are van Kampen.
A category with pullbacks is adhesive just when pushouts of monomorphisms are van Kampen.
In the latter case, van Kampen colimits exactly characterize descent.
It was introduced by Kleene to formalize Brouwer‘s notion of choice sequence.
To define Kleene’s second algebra, we need several ingredients:
Composition of functions ℕ→ℕ defines a map comp:B×B→B.
Let i:ℕ→1+ℕ be the inclusion map.
If ψ denotes the given lepton spinor field, this is J μ≔ψ¯⋅γ μ⋅ψ.
Is that only because of the non-canonicity of pullbacks in Set?
We omit the word “value” when it is clear from context.
(However, we do not require the sets of specified values to match.)
(In general the converses may fail.)
The same results hold with source replaced by target.
There are also conditions defining equivalence relations on 𝒞 0 and 𝒞 1.
(The equivalence relation for 𝒞 2 is simply equality.)
We say that g is an inverse of f.
This is the chosen equivalence relation for 𝒞 1.
Then it is an identity 2-cell on any value of x∘y.
Equivalently: the 1-composition of isomorphisms is an isomorphism.
Let f, g, and h be 2-cells.
Let f, g, and h be 2-cells.
It follows that composition of 1-cells is also associative, up to isomorphism.
(It follows from the preceding relations that these compositions exist.)
This will satisfy the coherence relations because the original bicategory satisfied the bicategory coherence relations.
Every von Neumann algebra may be written as a direct integral? over factors.
This object is known as the noncommutative flow of weights?.
If the action of R is not periodic, then the factor has type III0.
See also at planar algebra.
Types typically constrain both behavior and implementation.
This is the sense in which program verification is more flexible than syntactic typing.
This doesn’t provide any additional flexibility for terms themselves, though.
From a naive perspective, it can’t be done.
The answer, for Nuprl’s proof system, is supposedly “no”.
The terms that the CLF type system is about are called “realizers”.
(Since its Nuprl-inspired PER semantics is a term realizability model.)
The proof terms would be an additional class of terms.
Proof checking in CLF means type checking the proof terms.
In general, proof terms have additional information not present in realizers.
CLF types only depend on realizers, never proof terms.
CLF will boldly attempt to automate beta conversion by comparing normal forms nonetheless.
Tactics fail when they attempt to use an invalid rule instance.
The proof is complete when all goals are reduced to nothing.
A proof term can be thought of as a restricted form of proof script.
The primitive proof term formers correspond to primitive derivation rules.
Open proof term schemas correspond to derived rules.
Operations on closed proof terms correspond to admissible rules.
Instead, most of the detail work of proof checking deals with realizers.
This bootstrapping will rely in crucial ways on the realizers being fundamentally untyped.
The reason goes back to the flexibility of specifications, compared to purely syntactic typing.
The main syntactic class is terms.
There are also variables and contexts.
Complain if you can’t tell them apart from metavariables.)
The only beta reduction is (λx.b)a⟶ βb[a/x].
Conversion is the congruence closure.
The other judgment forms will be defined inductively by the rules below.
Note that in Nuprl, the (Γ⊢t⊩T) form is written (Γ⊢T⌊extt⌋).
That is (important) future work.
Note the contrast with variables, which are intrinsically typed.
With (t⊩T), we think of t as resulting from the proof of T.
So thinking of types as PERs, subtypes are subrelations.
Every type respects itself, and Comp.
We use a “subsumptive” rewrite rule as equality elimination.
The terminology comes from “subsumptive” vs “coercive” implementations of subtyping.
Note that formally, CLF has no typed judgmental equality.
This is sound due to equality reflection.
An intersection element is already an element of all instances of the family.
The subset type resembles an existential quantifier.
But it’s also sound to just stick in a free variable side condition.
Our elimination rule is intuitively characterizing Bool as the least type containing tru and fls.
The usual elimination rule is derived; it’s derivable because Church booleans actually work.
The structural rules of weakening and substitution are admissible.
“Strengthening” is not.
This is typical of extensional type theory.
Computational irrelevance is implemented by literally omitting the irrelevant proofs from terms.
This leads to the lack of strengthening, and to undecidable type checking.
The restriction imposed by equality reflection is that equality proofs never have computational content.
Once proof terms are added to the formal judgments, you probably do get strengthening.
You’d think a statement should make sense before you try to prove it.
That’s a “sanity check” admissible rule.
It’s probably admissible for the judgments defined by the rules above.
These are “inversion” admissible rules.
The above rules are actually admissible rules relative to those basic rules.
What are the mathematical models of Nuprl-style systems?
If they’re considered unnatural, should Nuprl-style systems be modified?
Equality uses respect which uses equality
The equality formation rule refers to the respect (“≺”) relation.
The latter is not primitive, it’s defined in terms of equality.
The rule about respecting Comp just exposes the fact internally.
Equality types beyond that are for reasoning about membership.
Taking function extensionality to be Π intro seems odd.
That’s (one place) where the selectivity rules are handy.
Lambdas are functions, not by fiat, but because they produce results when applied.
Note that not all functions are denoted by lambdas.
At the very least, the empty function is denoted by any term you like.
That is, a function type with empty domain has the same PER as ⊤.
That may turn out to handle everything, with this judgmental setup.
This provides a form of syntactic reflection of a system’s judgments within itself.
There are ways of making syntactic reflection more convenient and/or powerful.
(But the type family is called “equality”.)
The difference is in the interpretation of the equality judgment.
There are two styles of interpretation for ETT: intrinsic and extrinsic.
Intrinsic seems to have become the default one.
It’s the style considered in Martin Hofmann’s thesis, for example.
But Nuprl and CLF commit to the extrinsic style.
The role of the Nuprl-style type system is to reason about that.
There is actually no interpretation necessary, for terms in general.
(A denotational semantics would probably work too.)
The details need not concern us here, but some things are important:
Some closed terms are designated as types, and denote PERs on closed terms.
So being an element must be somehow prior to equality.
(And actually, it may be that types need not be computations.)
No, that doesn’t work.
The extra complexity has to do with making the axiomatization work for open terms.
Consider the type I≔{x=y|x∈Bool∧y∈Bool}.
But then consider (x:I⊢tru=x∈Booltype).
For example, ≺, ⊆, <:, and ⊑ were defined above.
But what kinds of things are these semantic judgments in general?
Extensionally equal types denote the same PER.
Also: (A≈B)≈(A⊑B∧B⊑A) However, (A⊆B∧B⊆A) is generally weaker.
Let ¬A≔A→⊥ decA≔{b:Bool|((b=tru∈Bool)→A)∧((b=fls∈Bool)→¬A)}
By non-contradiction, decA is a subsingleton, so ⌈decA⌉≈decA.
There generally aren’t implications going in the other direction.
(None of this has to do with intuitionism.)
It should be consistent to add the rule: Γ⊢AtypeΓ⊢p⊩(¬¬A)→⌊A⌋
This makes the semantic judgments classical, rather than intuitionistic.
Constructive propositions remain constructive, and canonicity is not affected.
Specifically, B only needs to be a type if A is inhabited.
(Because that’s the only case in which it’s evaluated.)
B only needs to be a type if a is fls.
The usual elimination rule then just applies b at that function type.
Subtyping Subtyping variance rules should be derivable for the type constructors.
What does all this extra complexity buy us?
But the terms are still written as realizers, no matter the type.
Combining with respect, we get (T<:{x=y:T|R}).
I is a singleton, but Bool is not.
The effect on equality is a consequence of set extensionality.
In programming, programmers informally use quotients, probably mostly without realizing it.
Any meaningful results given to the user should not depend on this information.
Logical frameworks provide a formal notation for languages.
(That includes the degenerate case of languages with no binding forms.
(See the logical framework page.)
That’s the catch.)
Unlike LF, MLLF doesn’t have a fixed judgmental equality.
MLLF is particularly well suited to specifying variants of Martin-Löf type theory.
There are tools that provide a style of language specification very similar to MLLF.
That is, it’s something that you can sanely just check automatically.
(Or so the story goes.)
(Either the system will give up, or do something useless.)
The equality reflection rule is enough to make the judgments synthetic.
That is, something you generally have to prove.
Like LF, and unlike MLLF, LF= has a fixed judgmental equality.
LF= is LF plus a reflective equality type constructor.
This means you don’t need to encode congruence rules.
(The adequacy of reflective equality is inspired by Andromeda.)
natrec should be the dependent elimination form for the inductive type of natural numbers.
We will write (plus n m) as (n + m).
Note that there’s no trouble declaring this constant.
It’s just another judgmental equality rule for the object language.
LF= was prepared all along for equality requiring proof.
That type checking really is just automatic “proving” of judgments.
Declared LF type families correspond to CLF inductive type family definitions.
LF signatures are not ordinary inductive-inductive families.
HOAS should be used in CLF too.
Instead, lambdas from Comp can be used as the representation of binding subexpressions.
(It should include at least all LF= signatures.
With sufficient proof automation, reasoning about derivability allows the convenient use of object languages.
The declarations concluding with an equality type correspond to equality constructors.

But it is Quillen equivalent to a model structure that is left proper.

Suppose given X→Y←Z where X→Y is a fibration and Z→Y a weak equivalence.
Thus, the induced map X× YZ→RX× RYZ is a weak equivalence.
We follow the proof given in this latter reference.
We demonstrate the first statement, the second is its direct formal dual.
The weak equivalence L″→≃L is by the 2-out-of-3 property.
This establishes in particular a weak equivalence X′→≃L″∐ KY.
It remains to get a weak equivalence further to X.
Therefore by the pasting law, also the lower square is a pushout.

“Thin elements” occur in various contexts.
They are ‘’really’‘ there because of lower dimensional features.
There are also, usually, other non-thin fillers which depend on X.
It is difficult to decide the laws that these these thin elements should satisfy.
The laws which Γ satisfies allow Θ to be recovered from Γ in some cases.
Thin structures can equivalently be described by “foldings” and “connection pairs.”
Such stratified simplicial sets are called complicial sets.
This conjecture was later proved by Verity.
Weak complicial sets have been studied extensively by Verity.

Beware that an old word for monad is also “triple”.
Arrows are composed by plugging outputs into inputs, as when one composes unary operations.
Categories are monads in the bicategory of ordinary spans (of sets).
We will start from the former and gradually generalize to the latter.
Are ordinary symmetric multicategories the T-multicategories relative to any monad T?
(Also, that monad is not cartesian.)
This reduces to the natural notion of functor in all the examples mentioned above.
It does, however, yield a virtual double category.
Obtaining the relevant monads
Each of the above contexts for generalized multicategories requires a monad of a certain sort.
This generalises in topos theory to the notion of decidable object.
Right localizations are defined analogously and generalize coreflective localizations.
Let C be a model category with a class of morphisms S.
So we can “test isomorphism by homming them into objects”.
More generally, recall the following facts about reflective localizations.
The following definitions offer a completely analogous picture for model categories.
This is described in detail at enriched homs from cofibrants to fibrants.
Lemma Every ordinary weak equivalence is also S-local weak equivalence.
Right Bousfield localizations are defined analogously and generalize coreflective localizations.
In practice, left localizations are always constructed as left Bousfield localizations.
Therefore, both notions are used interchangeably.
Then it has the following properties.
Therefore f˜:Q f→B⋅Δ n is indeed a cofibration.
The coproduct of two cofibrant objects is cofibrant because cofibrations are preserved under pushout.
Therefore Q f is indeed a cofibrant domain of our cofibration.
The argument proceeds along the same lines as the proof of the above lemma.
Let X∈𝒟 be any object.
First consider a cofibrant replacement X cof ↓ ∈W∩Fib X.
Then apply L to this L(X cof) ↓ L(X).
Finally, precompose with the ordinary adjunction unit.
S-local weak equivalences between S-local objects are weak equivalences
By the Yoneda lemma this implies that f is an isomorphism in Ho S(C).
But that means precisely that it is a weak equivalence in C.
It follows that also the fibrations between local objects remain the same:
From remark we already know that Fib loc⊂Fib, generally.
It follows that A^,B^∈Fib loc.
This means that we have lifting in the top right square.
Moreover, we also evidently have lifting in the bottom left square.
Together, these lifts constitute the desired total lift.
Every Bousfield localization is of this form
First, the cofibrations of C loc and L SC coincide.
This is due to Hirschhorn (2002).
Proof The first part is theorem 3.3.19 in Hirschhorn (2002).
The second part is prop 3.3.4, which follows directly from the following proposition.
The details are spelled out in the following subsections.
For λ>κ every κ-compact object is also λ-compact.
This helps identifying the S-local fibrant objects.
The following proof uses the small object argument several times.
These won’t in general exist if S is not a set.
check that the weak equivalences form an accessibly embedded accessible subcategory.
Therefore, indeed, cof(I)∩W L SC is closed under pushouts and transfinite composition.
Therefore this is an accessible category.

See the list of examples below.

In addition, every combinatorial model category can be enhanced to an algebraic model category.
The following definition originates with Jeff Smith:
This greatly facilitates identifying combinatorial model category structures.
Moreover, every combinatorial model category arises in this way.
The above formulation follows (Barwick, prop 1.7).
Let J be the set of acyclic cofibratons P→R so obtained.
It readily follows that inj(J)∩W⊆inj(I).
For applications of this theorem, the following auxiliary statements are useful.
This is due to Smith.
A proof appears as Dugger 01, 7.4.
The following formulation can be found as Proposition A.2.6.15 in Lurie.
Carrying this program through requires the following intermediate results.
Notice that the theorem just mentions plain combinatorial model categories, not simplicial model categories.

Two objects are equivalent if there is an equivalence between them.
This can be made rigorous as a corecursive definition.
The latter notion is generalized to weak equivalence for objects in any model category.
There is also a notion of equivalence between model categories: Quillen equivalence.
These can be understood to some extent using higher categories.
Similarly, Quillen equivalent model categories give rise to equivalent (infinity,1)-categories.
See equivalence in an (infinity,1)-category.

By a prefix order we mean a partial order which is also downwards totally ordered.
A prefix ordered set is a set equipped with a prefix order.
The morphisms of prefix ordered sets are history preserving functions.
Given x∈S, the history of x is the set x −={y∣y≤x}.
In this way, prefix ordered sets form a category Pfx.
Prefix orders relax this definition to downward total orders.
Any partial order can be viewed as an Alexandroff topology.
Continuous maps are the homomorphisms between topological spaces.
(See also at continuous space.)
We state the definition of continuity in terms of epsilontic analysis, definition below.
The function f is called just continuous if it is continuous at every point x∈X.
This is called the metric topology.
First assume that f is continuous in the epsilontic sense.
Conversely, assume that f −1 takes open subsets to open subsets.
Equivalently, f is continuous iff f * is microcontinuous?.
A continuous map between locales is simply a frame homomorphism in the opposite direction.
(Technically, an open map is any function with just this property.)

This function g is also called a Hadamard quotient.
It follows that g(0)=f′(0) is the derivative of f at 0.
The lemma follows by putting g i(x)=∫ 0 1∂f∂x i(tx)dt.
The notion of a Fermat theory makes Hadamard’s lemma into an axiom.

An action functional is called local if it arises from integration of a Lagrangian.
When minimising the action, we fix the values of q(a) and q(b).
We fix boundary conditions on the boundary of R.

This is of particular interest, again, if it is local.
This is hence a fully local Lagrangian: an extended Lagrangian.

This is the original notion of concrete group due to Évariste Galois.
The Cayley theorem? shows that every group may be made into a concrete group.
Unlike groups, categories were first defined in full modern abstraction.
Of course, an abstract category is the usual notion of category.
This immediately generalises to L 2(X), where X is any measure space.
The abstract definition of a concrete set is then that given at pure set.

A left adjoint to a forgetful functor is called a free functor.

A comment is also in
This is Part II of an exposition by Todd Trimble on ETCS.
The differences may be summarized as follows:
We say i,j define the same subset if this k is an isomorphism.
So: subsets of X are defined to be isomorphism classes of monomorphisms into X.
Hence, there are natural bijections R⊆B×AA→P(B)R⊆B×AB→P(A) between subsets and classifying maps.
[Cf. classifying spaces in the theory of fiber bundles.]
Something similar happens in ETCS set theory: Lemma 1.
The domain of elementhood ∈ 1→1×P(1)≅P(1) is terminal.
Hence elementhood ∈ 1⊆1×P(1) is given by an element t:1→P(1).
In that sense, t:1→P(1) plays the role of a universal subset.
To illustrate these ideas, let us consider intersection.
Externally, the intersection operation is a natural transformation ∩ X:Sub(X)×Sub(X)→Sub(X).
Let’s analyze this bit by bit.
The identity element for ∧ is the element t:1→P(1).
We have that u≤v if and only if [u]⊆[v].
Theorem 1. P(1) admits internal implication.
This applies in particular to any monomorphism e:[w]→A that represents the subset [w]⊆A.
By the same token, there is a natural bijection R⊆(X×A)×Bϕ′:X×A→P(B).
The map on the right of the pullback is defined similarly.
An ordinary predicate of type A is a function ϕ:A→P(1).
Alternatively, it is an ordinary element ϕ′:1→P(1) A≅P(A).
Let’s check how this works externally.
Let ϕ:X→P(1) A be a generalized predicate of type A.
This is easy to check; I’ll leave that to the reader.

It is enough to show i induces an isomorphism Def A(M n)→Def A(N n).

The (unitary) geometric nerve is a natural nerve operation on bicategories.
It is a functor from BiCat to sSet.
This is also sometimes called the Duskin nerve.
The notion is implicit in work by R. Street (1987).
(Duskin’s article directly on the idea was published in 2002.)
The construction, thus, yields a functor: N:BiCat NLax→sSet.
This gives the canonical inclusion Δ↪Cat that defines the ordinary nerve of categories.
There is also the canonical embedding of categories into bicategories.
Combined this gives the inclusion Δ↪Cat↪BiCat.
The bicategorical nerve is the nerve induced from that.
So for C a bicategory we have N(C):[k]↦BiCat NLax(Δ[k],C).
There are also an oplax version and two non-normalized versions.
The simplicial sets in the image of the geometric nerve are 3-coskeletal.
The nerve is a full and faithful functor BiCat NLax→sSet.
The latter is found by taking the nerve of each ‘hom-category’.

Relations between gauge fields and strings present an old, fascinating and unanswered question.
The full answer to this question is of great importance for theoretical physics.
Moreover, in the SU(N) gauge theory the strings interaction is weak at large N.
The challenge is to build a precise theory on the string side of this duality.
This is, however, very different from the picture of strings as flux lines.
Interestingly, even now people often don’t distinguish between these approaches.
However there are cases in which t’Hooft’s mechanism is really working.
Furthermore, although there is available data, this has large errors.
This is the structure to which the cobordism hypothesis applies.

This article is about smash products in topology/homotopy theory.
For the notion of Hopf smash product see at crossed product algebra.
Under stabilization this induces the important smash product of spectra in stable homotopy theory.
The smash product is the tensor product in the closed monoidal category of pointed sets.
Write *∈𝒞 for the terminal object of 𝒞.
In this generality this appears as (Elmendorf-Mandell 07, construction 4.19).
A proof appears as (Elmendorf-Mandell 07, lemma 4.20).
For more of these details see at Pointed object – Closed and monoidal structure.
For the topos 𝒞= Set the general discussion here reduces to that above.
In particular, the smash product is associative for pointed compactly generated spaces.
This is briefly mentioned in Bredon 93, p. 199.
See at symmetric smash product of spectra.
While elementary in itself, this has the following profound consequence:
While the smash product is not cartesian, it does admit diagonals.
This is the equivariant and stable version of rational homotopy theory.

Let G be a finite group.
See also at motivation for cohesive toposes for a non-technical discussion.
Moreover, the idea is that cohesion makes points lump together to connected pieces .
This is modeled by one more functor Π 0:ℰ→Set left adjoint to Disc.
See the examples at cohesive site for concrete illustrations of these ideas.
Either of these morphisms we call the points-to-pieces transform.
The first statement is due to (Johnstone 11, Corollary 2.2).
The first statement follows directly from Lemma .
This proves the second statement.
(pieces have points ≃ discrete objects are concrete)
In one direction, assume that ptp B is an epimorphism.
In the other direction, assume that ptp H is an epimorphism.
This condition pieces have points may also be expressed as follows:
This is Lawvere-Menni 15, lemma 4.1, 4.2.
These extra axioms are proposed in (Lawvere, Axiomatic cohesion).
This implies that for all X∈ℰ also f !Ω X≃*.
This appears as axiom 2 in (Lawvere, Categories of spaces).
See there for more details.
We discuss properties of cohesive toposes.
Some of these phenomena have a natural Modality interpretation.
We record some relations between the various axioms characterizing cohesive toposes.
This is just a reformulation of the above proposition.
The last item is then a consequence by definition.
This is (Johnstone 11, theorem 3.4).
We discuss some of these.
Write Conc(ℰ)↪ℰ for the full subcategory on concrete objects.
The claim then follows by standard facts of quasitoposes of biseparated presheaves.
Also coDisc:Set→ℰ clearly factors through Conc(ℰ).
the components of the reflector X→s !s *X are epimorphisms.
This is theorem 2 in (Lawvere).
Since Γ is a left adjoint it preserves colimits, as does of course Π.
It then also follows that ℒ is closed under arbitrary products.
Every topos ℰ comes with its internal logic.
Therefore in this case Γϕ→ΓA is an isomorphism and hence so is #ϕ→#A.
Simple as it is, it does serve to already illustrate some key points.
The “cohesive pieces” are the S i and there are |I|-many of them.
This is what Π 0 computes, which clearly preserves products.
The canonical morphism Γ(I←S)→Π 0(I←S) is ΓDiscΓ(I←S)→Γ(I←S)→ΓDiscΠ 0(I←S).
Plugging in the above this is just S→I itself.
Indeed, by the above interpretation, this sends each point to its cohesive component.
The formal dual of this statement is the following.
In summary we have Proposition
We spell out some details on the cohesive topos of reflexive directed graphs.
The canonical morphism ΓX→Π 0X sends each vertex to its connected component.
Evidently this is epi, hence in RDGraphs cohesive pieces have points .
Notice that reflexive directed graphs are equivalently skeleta of simplicial sets.
The former is manifestly the operation of evaluating on the terminal object.
This implies that also coDisc is fully faithful, by this prop..
Equivalently, Disc≃p * is the constant diagram-assigning functor.
This establishes the first clause in Def. .
By the adjunction relation this is equivalently X(U)→Set(Γ(U),Γ(X)).
The corresponding cohesive topos is the Cahiers topos ≃Sh(ThCartSp).
This is a smooth topos that models the axioms of synthetic differential geometry.
In words this says that in 𝒫 every cohesive neighbourhood contains precisely one point.
This is a characteristic of infinitesimally thickened points.
See at infinitesimal cohesion for more on this.
Let G be a non-trivial finite group of cardinality n.
Write BG={•→g•|g∈G} for its delooping groupoid.
The presheaf topos PSh(BG)≃GSet is the category of permutation representations of G.
It comes with a triple of adjoint functors (Π 0⊣Const⊣lim ←):GSet→lim ←←Const→lim →Set.
Therefore Π 0 does not preserve products in this case.
The axioms for a cohesive topos originate around
An analysis of the interdependency of the axioms on a cohesive topos is in
(see Milne, section 25).
This fact serves to prove the Weil conjectures.
Indeed, this action is manifestly fixed-point free.

So should we merge this with PRO now? —Toby
Let us consider only finitary theories; that is, with Lawvere theories.
In a monoidal category, we can ask for this to be a monoidal functor.
We therefore need to weaken the definition of a Lawvere theory.
Let (C,⊗,I) be a monoidal category.
Let (T,⊗,I) be a monoidal Lawvere theory.
A monoidal T-object in (C,⊗,I) is a monoidal functor T→C.
Let us therefore give these names.
Let (C,⊗,I) be a monoidal category.
C co is the subcategory of commutative, associative, unital comonoids.
Note that we take morphisms in C, not morphisms of comonoids.
These are the objects that come equiped with diagonal and projection morphisms.
So I could still have a commutative monoid in an arbitrary monoidal category.
Or maybe I can’t.
It’d be useful to get that clear.
I don’t think there’s a general switcheroo functor.
However, not every object is a coalgebra.
Okay, let me be absolutely specific here.
This is tied up with Tall-Wraith monoids.
Now start with abelian groups instead.
OK, this makes sense.
Toby: H'm, this is odd.
Okay, I still wasn’t being completely clear.
I do mean the category of coalgebras.
That’s again a ring and it’s functorial for coalgebra morphisms.
But this felt like it was a specialisation of an even more general story.
Okay, so to pick up the thread again, here is a preliminary observation.
I don’t know how well it generalizes to general props or pros.
However, there are many Lawvere theories that do not need such structure.
If an identity involves duplicating an element, it needs the diagonal structure.
If an identity involves ignoring an element, it needs the projection structure.
Now let us add in an inverse.
These involve both a duplication and an omission.
Note that the starting point for each is the ordered list (a).
Therefore a group object in a monoidal category must lie in the subcategory of comonoids.
This is the identity: Commutativityμ(a,b)=μ(b,a)
This obviously involves a swap, and thus requires a symmetric object as its model.
Finally, for an abelian group object we need both: symmetry and comonoid.
One of the applications of Lawvere theories is to the theory of representing objects.
Well, okay, one question springs to mind.
Are they equivalent as monoidal Lawvere theories?
I’ll try to set aside some time to find a better answer.
I believe the answer is no.
I keep wanting to write “repetition, hesitation, or deviation”.

Of course, in classical mathematics, every set has decidable equality.

The Lebesgue measure’s origins can be traced to the broader theory of Lebesgue integration.
We begin with a lemma and a corollary.
Now suppose B is an arbitrary set of real numbers.
The set B is Lebesgue measurable if |B|=|A∩B|+|A∖B| holds for every set A.
Restricting to these sets, Lebesgue outer measure becomes an honest measure.

Since BB typically will be large this requires GLOBAL CHOICE, i.e. choice for classes.
This principle is independent even from ZFC.
But for getting the right adjoints one has to use global choice.

Thus, every non-zero-divisor is a cancellative element.

A bounded lower real number is a lower real L such that some b∉L.
When treated explicitly as a subset of ℚ, we call L a lower set.
An upper real number is an extended upper real U such that: some b∈U.
A bounded upper real number is an upper real U such that some a∉U.
When treated explicitly as a subset of ℚ, we call U an upper set.
In other words, ≤ is ⊇ on upper sets, and < is ⊋.
In any case, this supremum really is the supremum under ≤.
In any case, this infimum really is the infimum under ≤.

The empty quasigroup is a commutative invertible quasigroup.
We write CE(𝔓(X,π)) for the exterior algebra equipped with this differential.
More explicitly, let {x i}:X→ℝ dimX be a coordinate patch.
This is equivalently called Poisson cohomology (see there for details).
The invariant polynomial ω makes 𝔓(X,π) a symplectic ∞-Lie algebroid.
Under Lie integration a Poisson Lie algebroid is supposed to yield a symplectic groupoid.
There is a formulation of Legendre transformation in terms of Lie algebroid.
Richard Montague (1930-1971) was an American logician.
The concept is due to Dmitri Pavlov.
At present, there is no purely order-theoretic definition of measurable locales.

A category is called gaunt if all its isomorphisms are in fact identities.
See below for some related concepts that are invariant.
Every gaunt category is skeletal, but not conversely.
More generally, gaunt categories are precisely the categories that are both strict and univalent.
For in this case, every identity type is a proposition/subsingleton.
Every poset is a gaunt category.
The walking parallel pair is a gaunt category which is not a poset.
The free category on a directed graph is a gaunt category.
The walking isomorphism, as usually defined, is not gaunt.
The simplex category and more generally any Reedy category is gaunt.
The core of a gaunt category is a set.

Then for closed subsets A⊆X and B⊆Y, the Leibniz rule ∂(A×B)=(∂A×B)∪(A×∂B) holds.
B is connected, so B⊆A ∘ or B⊆(¬A) ∘⊆¬A.
The latter cannot occur since A∩B is inhabited.

Suppose a Lie group G acts smoothly and transitively on a smooth manifold M.
Hence E is a G-equivariant vector bundle over M.
The ‘process’ described is actually a functor, the induction functor.
The induced bundle construction gives a functor L:Rep(H)→Vect(M,G)
This functor is simpler than the induced bundle construction!
The simpler functor often amounts to ‘forgetting’ something.
This forgetful functor is usually the right adjoint.
And indeed, that’s what’s happening here!
LV is the induced bundle corresponding to V.
Because these left adjoints tend to be important.
And why is this so great?
We formulate induction and coinduction of representations abstractly in homotopy type theory.
Let H be an ambient (∞,1)-topos.
We discuss that unitary representations induce again unitary representations.
This shows that r is unitary.
But where do we get a G-invariant measure on G/H?
The existence of this adjunction is known as Frobenius reciprocity.
We now wish to show that L and R are adjoint functors.
This bundle has a projection π 2:(G×V)/H→G/H, π 2([(g,v)])=gH.
Since M≅G/H, this bundle is in Vect(M,G).
Next, we define f:L(V)→F by: f([(g,v)])=g⋅i(v)
We introduced these linear bijections ϕ g when initially describing the induced bundle construction.
Suppose f *(w)=[(e,v)] for some v∈V.
(See for instance (Woit, def. 2)).
See there for more details.
This relation has first been amplified in (Lawvere).

and E is nondegenerate, i.e., 1 is not an initial object.
Here the global section functor is even (isomorphic to) the identity functor.
So the above statements are also equivalent to well-pointedness.
To see this, let U↣A be a subobject and ¬U its Heyting complement.
Similarly, a well-pointed topos is two-valued.
Finally, a well-pointed topos has split supports.
If it is 0 then A≅0 also and its support is split.
Thus a splits the support of A.
Conversely, we have the following: Theorem
Let A↣B be a monomorphism such that every global element of B factors through it.
Then ∀ BA is a subterminal object, hence either 1 or 0.
Hence it must be that ∀ BA=1, which implies A=B.
The category Set of sets and functions is both well-pointed and concrete.
Classically, they follow from the two conditions given above.

A quandle is a special case of a rack.
A quandle is a selfdistributive idempotent right quasigroup.
So, this definition has a certain redundancy built in.
See rack for more discussion of related points.
Every tame knot in ℝ 3 has a “fundamental quandle”.
So, this presentation can also be used as a presentation of a quandle.
The fundamental quandle is a very powerful invariant of knots.
More sophisticated invariants of this sort can be constructed with the help of quandle cohomology.
In fact this leads to an elegant definition of symmetric spaces.
In particular it is a constructive and purely homotopy-theoretic proof.
We then move to more advanced tools.
Every (left) noetherian ring is a coherent ring.
This is probably connected to the importance of coherent sheaves.
The original category can be recovered from this category if it satisfies certain properties.
The name derives from programming terminology.
A morphism f:A→B represents an effectful program.
Note that the condition (Lθ)θ=(θL)θ in the definition says precisely that θ is thunkable.
This is the case for the Kleisli category of the identity monad.
On the other hand, most monads produce many non-thunkable morphisms.
Let (T,η,μ) be a monad on a category C.
The Kleisli category of T is a thunk-force category.
Let F⊣G denote the adjunction between C and the Kleisli category C T.
Define L=FG and ϵ the counit of the comonad.
Then there is a monad L θ induced on G θK by this adjunction.
The dual concept for call-by-name? is a runnable monad.

We call an instance of this equation a class equation.

and we have a class equation q n−1=q−1+∑ xq n−1q d x−1.
Now let ζ∈ℂ be any primitive n th root of unity.
First we show that Sylow subgroups exist.
Therefore p-Sylow subgroups P exist for any finite group G.
In particular, all Sylow p-subgroups are conjugate to one another.
In particular, Fix H(G/P) has at least one element, say gP.
Restrict the action to the subgroup P.
We conclude Fix P(Y) has exactly one element.
From |Y|≡|Fix P(Y)|modp (Proposition ), the theorem follows.
From Theorem , we have an p+bp k=1 for some integers a,b.
The Sylow theorems are routinely used throughout group theory.
(For example, a group of order 2023=7⋅17 2 must be commutative.)
It follows that PQ is a subgroup of order p 2q, hence PQ=G.
Noncommutative symmetric functions are a generalisation of symmetric functions.
Noncommutative symmetric functions also arise in their own right as interesting objects of study.

For T the theory of commutative rings this is called the affine line .
For the first direction, let R be a ℤ-graded commutative algebra.
Similarly the unitality of the action is the equation (1) n=1.

Every groupoid object in H is canonically an internal pre-category.
The coreflection is the core operation that discards non-invertible morphisms.
This is (Lurie, prop. 1.1.14).
Write K 0≔{1,2}↪K for the image of the (1,2)-edge of Δ 3.
By construction, Core(X)(K)→X(K) is fully faithful.
Hence Core(X)(K)→X(K) is an equivalence.
In an (∞,1)-topos Let H be an (∞,1)-topos.
This is the topic of Relative core – Choice of groupoid objects.

(For more see at internal category in homotopy type theory.)
This approach to (n,1)-categories is discussed in (CapriottiKraus17).

Note the Crash! below.
This definition is not correct.
I think something like this should work, but I need to think about it.
That is, you have to pick the family of morphism G(F(x))→y in advance.
I have to think about whether this works and what diagrams you need.
Or it least it now matches the diagram on my paper :)
We get another commuting square from the fact that G∘F is an endofunctor.
I’ve now drawn that above.

Let S be a poset (or proset) with a bottom element ⊥.
Recall that an element of S is positive if it is not a bottom element.
An atom of S is simply an atomic element of S.
Note that every atom must be positive (since a≤a).
The atoms are precisely the minimal elements of the set of positive elements.
For a poset, a is atomic iff every p≤a is positive iff p=a.
In this case, every element x is a supremum of those atoms a≤x.
To show B is atomistic, it suffices to show c=0.
In a power set the atoms are the singleton subsets.
This is simply because a∧b≤a, so equals either a or ⊥.
Let a be an atom.
Thus a≤x i for some i, which is what we want.
Thus B(a,−) does not preserve suprema.

But for the present purpose we stick with the simpler special case of def. .
There is no condition on the morphisms in def. .

For completeness we spell it out:
First consider that the morphisms are well defined in the first place.
It is clear that i˜ is well-defined.
By exactness this is im(i).
The kernel of i˜ is ker(i)∩im(i)≃im(k)∩im(i), by exactness.

Conversely, assume that S⊂ℝ n is a compact subspace.
We need to show that it is closed and bounded.
Hence what remains is to show that S is bounded.
The restrictions of these to S hence form an open cover of the subspace S.

This appears as (Rezk, theorem 3.7).
Let C be a category with a class W⊂Mor(C) of weak equivalences.
Then the above construction has the following evident variant.

Relations between gauge fields and strings present an old, fascinating and unanswered question.
The full answer to this question is of great importance for theoretical physics.
Moreover, in the SU(N) gauge theory the strings interaction is weak at large N.
The challenge is to build a precise theory on the string side of this duality.
This is, however, very different from the picture of strings as flux lines.
Interestingly, even now people often don’t distinguish between these approaches.
However there are cases in which t’Hooft’s mechanism is really working.

These two inclusions together give ⋃ i∈If(S i)=f(⋃ i∈IS i).

Let |X| denote the set of constant elements of C.
By concreteness, C injects into Set(ℝ,|X|) and F injects into Set(|X|,ℝ).
We shall do similarly for elements of F.
Hence it is an element of C.
That is, there is an element α of C such that α(ϕ)=|ϕ|∘β for all ϕ∈F.
Let us compare |α| with β.
But if |α| and β differ, then they differ at some t∈ℝ.
This corresponds to some ψ∈F and it remains to compare |ψ| with θ.
This is simpler since x∈|X| is an element of C and so |ψ|(x)=ψ(x)=θ∘|x|=θ(x).
However, not all Frölicher spaces can be obtained in this manner.
The problem here is that there are far more curves than the functionals warrant.
Put another way, the functionals cannot distinguish between the points of the set.
The object of E(ℛ) corresponding to a Frölicher space is F-saturated.
Let (X,C,F) be a Frölicher space.
Define |ϕ|:X→ℝ by |ϕ|(x)=ϕ(δ x) where δ x∈C is the constant function at x.
Hence (X,C,F) is F-saturated.

As currently stated, not even very simple Frölicher spaces satisfy the surjectivity condition.
However, all is not lost.
The set F of functions in a Frölicher space is a commutative ℝ-algebra.
Let (X,C,F) be a Frölicher space.
Consider the function (5)θ=(ψ−α(ψ)) 2+(ϕ−α(ϕ)) 2.
Since α(θ)∈imθ, there is thus some x∈X such that θ(x)=0.
For this x we therefore have that ψ(x)=α(ψ) and ϕ(x)=α(ϕ).
This clearly extends to any finite family.
This family is directed (downwards) since ϕψ≤ϕ (and ψ).

This approach can be generalized to the transfinite construction of free algebras.
Various constructions with simplicial toppological spaces find their natural home in this (∞,1)-topos.
The (∞,1)-topos ETop∞Grpd is a cohesive (∞,1)-topos.
For completeness we record general properties of cohesive (∞,1)-toposes implied by this.
We say that ETop∞Grpd defines Euclidean-topological cohesion.
This becomes a large site with the open cover coverage.
Accordingly the categories of sheaves are equivalent Sh(CartSp top)≃Sh(TopMfd).
This means that it is in particular a local (∞,1)-topos.
The functor j exhibits TopMfd as a full sub-(∞,1)-category of ETop∞Grpd TopMfd↪ETop∞Grpd.
With the above proposition this follows directly by the (∞,1)-Yoneda lemma.
We dicuss some aspects of the presentation of ETop∞Grpd by model category structures.
But by the above ETop∞Grpd already is hypercomplete.
The first condition is given by the first assumption.
Therefore this inclusion is full and faithful, the presheaf W¯G is a separated prestack.
On the other hand, let X∈Mfd be any non-contractible manifold.
In the first case we need to construct the fibrant replacement GBund.
In practice the latter is often all that one needs.
For ETop∞Grpd among these are the simplicial topological groups.
See there for more details.
Accordingly we have Π(X)≃(𝕃lim →)(X)≃lim →C(∐ iU i→X).
The classical nerve theorem asserts that this implies the claim.
We may regard Top itself as a cohesive (∞,1)-topos.
This is discussed at discrete ∞-groupoid.
We discuss the notion of geometric path ∞-groupoids realized in ETop∞Grpd.
In the above constructions of Π(X) the actual paths are not explicit.
We discuss here presentations of Π(X) in terms of actual paths.
By prop. we have
This implies the claim with prop. .
Typically one is interested in mapping out of Π(X).
Let A∈ ∞Grpd be any discrete ∞-groupoid.
Write |A|∈ Top for its geometric realization.
Proposition Let A∈ ∞Grpd, write DiscA∈ETop∞Grpd for the corresponding discrete topological ∞-groupoid.
From this the claim follows by the above proposition.
(Discussed at model structure on simplicial presheaves – cofibrant replacement. )
But this is a model for |Π(X→W¯G)|.
We discuss geometric Whitehead towers in ETop∞Grpd.
By the above proposition on the fundamental ∞-groupoid we have that Π n(X)≃DiscSingX.
By induction over n this implies the claim.
Let C be an ∞-connected site.
See model structure on functors for details.
So SingU indeed is an ∞-groupoid of paths in U. Proposition
By construction this preserves all colimits.
Hence it preserves cofibrations and acyclic cofibrations.
Hence it preserves (∞,1)-colimits and so is determined on representatives.
There SingU≃* does coindice with Π(U)≃*, hence both (∞,1)-functors are equivalent.
This is a model for ∞-stacks on Diff.
Write SeqSpec(sSet) for this category of sequential spectra.
This constitutes a functor π •:SeqSpec(sSet)⟶Ab ℤ.
This constitutes an endofunctor Q:SeqSpec(sSet)⟶SeqSpec(sSet).
This is called the “strict model structure” for sequential spectra.
It only remains to check that the cofibrations are as claimed.
Since components are parameterized over ℕ, this condition has solutions by induction.
First of all there must be an ordinary lifting in degree 0.
In order to compare this to to sequential spectra consider also the following variant.
This is an sSet */ enriched equivalence of categories.
Dehn solved this problem using what is now called the Dehn invariant.
The subject is very active now.
A hypothetical high-mass cousin of the Z-boson is the Z'-boson.
The Heisenberg Lie n-algebra integrates to the Heisenberg n-group.
The following definition is naturally motivated from the fact that:
The unary bracket is given by the de Rham differential.
Hence their contraction with ω gives a constant form.
and shown to be the string Lie 2-algebra.
Let X be a set.
This is defined on all germs.
We can similarly consider higher differentials which depend on higher jets.
We do not know any more interesting examples.
For instance, any ω has an absolute value |ω|.
In particular, this applies to the metric g on any (pseudo)-Riemannian manifold.
This also enables us to calculate the iterated cogerm differentials of functions.
There are at least two possible definitions.
The (genuine) integral of ω over c is defined as follows.
Now we take the limit as the tagged partitions shrink.
It is convenient to do this in the manner of the Henstock integral.
However, in other cases it disagrees with the naive integral.
Let us say that ω is o(dx) if lim h→0⟨ω|h⋅c⟩h=0 for any curve c.
Some examples of forms that are o(dx) are dx 2 and d 2x.
This defines a gauge δ on [a,b].
Then the corresponding Riemann sum is, by definition, ∑ i⟨ω|Δx i⋅c t i⟩.
Thus, when we sum them up, we get something less than ϵb−a∑ iΔx i=ϵb−a(b−a)=ϵ.
This leads us to integrate the differential form f(x)dx.
This would lead us to integrate the form f(x)dx+12f′(x)dx 2.
But with the naive integral, it does not.
This follows directly from the definition of the naive integral and the cogerm differential d.
But the existence of genuine integrals is rather less obvious.
Here we prove that they exist for at least one reasonably general class of forms.
Then the genuine integral of ω over any differentiable curve exists.
Note that Δt i=t i−t i−1 is always positive.
Since f is assumed continuous, this integral exists.
These are excluded by requirement (2).
However, for general cogerm 1-forms, neither integral is so invariant.
Nevertheless, we may ask for conditions under which they are.
The naive integral is very much not invariant under reparametrization.
The genuine integral is somewhat more invariant under reparametrization.
This follows fairly directly from its definition.
This is most easily done by reformulating the integral, as follows.
Thus, tangent-Lipschitz is a weak replacement for linearity in the tangent variable.
Then we can canonically identify all its tangent spaces with the same vector space V.
We now show that the affine integral agrees with the genuine integral.
Let c:[a,b]→X be differentiable.
Then for the affine integrals we have ∫ cϕ *ω=∫ ϕcω.
Thus, the two integrals agree.
In the list of examples above, we denoted f(x+dx)−f(x) by Δf.
However, it is again not clear whether left endpoints suffice.
Recall that this was δ={1|dx| x=0anddx≠0 0 otherwise.
But this is positive, so the Riemann sum is simply f(0).
Thus, the integral equals f(0).
It is unclear to me whether this is possible.
When k=1, the definition is ⟨d∧ω|c⟩=lim A→01‖A‖∮ c(∂A)ω.
The definition for general k is similar.
That’s it, essentially.
Here is the list of reports, as planned so far:
In IntTrans the basic machinery of these ∞-categorical pull-push operations is established.
I want to start replying to/understanding this comment.
The ∞-categories that we are dealing with here are (∞,1)-categories.
2.1.1 Enhancing triangulated categories
Such a 2-vector space is in particular an abelian category.
It’s the most obvious thing in the world.
In order to formulate this, one needs a good general theory of higher algebra.
More generally, S itself may be an (∞,1)-category.
Or equivalently: H is an (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-sheaves on S.
It is convenient and usual to switch back and forth between these two models.
In other words, this is ∞-stackification.
Describing the full ∞-stackification of a given (∞,1)-presheaf explicitly is usually hard.
Moreover, it is usually much more than one wants to actually know.
One often thinks of such X as orbifolds.
We still have a canonical inclusion X↪Π(X).
Morphisms from the fundamental ∞-groupoid are also called local systems.
which in turn are identified with the ∞-version of ∞-Hochschild homology?
So the ∞-kernel of an ∞-kernel is not 0, but is loops.
These loop space constructions see only homotopies which actually exist as morphisms.
The second statement is example 2.3.8 in EnAction.
The first seems to be clear but is maybe not in the literature.
Again, due to the good formalism, this statement becomes almost a tautology.
I’m shooting in the dark here with this ω-groupoid sentence above.
What does that boil down to concretely?
As a slogan: integral transforms = colimit preserving functors
(If there is some inaccuracy noted by anyone, feel free to comment.
I might have forgotten some fibrant or cofibrant replacement somewhere.)
In our present context, we consider a morphism of perfect derived stacks q:X→Y.
This gives the absolute version of the equivalence we want.
Then some comparision takes place.
For this, we use the already established equivalence QC(X)⊗ QC(Y)QC(X)≃QC(X× YX).
Then there is an equivalence QC(X Σ)≃QC(X)⊗Σ.
Someone may comment, or I’ll come back to it later.
What’s a geometric stack?
Two geometric cases are of special interest.
That’s probably explained in section 6.
Its zeroth graded piece is of course just the classical center Z(A)=End A⊗A op(A).
In particular, the −1st term is just A.

Typically and naturally, a model structure on spectra forms a stable model category.
This models spectra as enriched functors on the site of pointed finite homotopy types.
(a quick review of this is in Lydakis 98, section 10).
and a similar model structure for functors on topological spaces has been given in
We write CoDGCA for the category of such codifferential coalgebras.
We discuss two different but related definitions.
In the Properties-section below we discuss how both definitions are compatible.
For X a proper Lie groupoid, the two definition above agree.

Idea A monomorphism is regular if it behaves like an embedding.
The universal factorization through an embedding is the image.
The dual concept is that of a regular epimorphism.
Obviously effective monomorphisms are regular.
The maps k, l are mutually inverse.
Conversely, let i:X→Y be a topological subspace embedding.
We need to show that this is the equalizer of some pair of parallel morphisms.
The elementary proof we give follows exercise 7H of (AdamekHerrlichStrecker).
Let K↪H be a subgroup.
Let then G=Aut Set(X) be the permutation group on X.
It is clear that these maps are indeed group homomorphisms.
These are the morphisms in the category of simplicial sets.
The discussion directly generalizes to any (∞,1)-topos.
Really this is defined up to homotopy, but we have a canonical model.
The construction proceeds as follows (using modern terminology).
Form the ∞-connected cover of X n, i.e. the path fibration PX n.

The process of concretification involves the general abstract notion of images.

This function dS that assigns numbers to infinitesimal paths is called a differential form.
Here it is evaluated on infinitesimal differences, referred to as differentials.
in Differential 1-forms are smooth incremental path measures.
We introduce the basic concept of a smooth differential form on a Cartesian space ℝ n.
This is captured by the following definition.
Above we have defined differential n-form on abstract coordinate systems.
This we do in a moment in remark .
Notice that differential 0-forms are equivalently smooth ℝ-valued functions.
This ends the Model-layer discussion of differential forms.
But for n>k there is only the 0 element.
We now formalize this.
There is a univeral map that sends any smooth space to its concretification.
Let H be a local topos.
Write ♯:H→H for the corresponding sharp modality, def. . Then.
Proposition For n≥1 we have Conc(Ω n)≃*.

Under mild conditions, this sequence converges to a zero/root of f.
The up quark and down quark are both very light and of comparable mass.
The strange quark is an order of magnitude heavier than the up and down.
The top quark is another two orders of magnitude heavier than the bottom quark.
Either choice gives rise to a corresponding notion of light and heavy hadrons.
For baryons one has: (…)
The terminal object is the limit of the empty functor F:∅→Set.
This has more natural interpretations in certain special cases.
So this is given by restricting f to the elements that are mapped into B.
Thus the limit is given by the set of natural transformations from const 1 to F.
This is given by the empty set ∅.
We discuss limits and colimits in the category Top of topological spaces.
But this is precisely what the initial topology ensures.
The case of the colimit is formally dual.
However, this style of reasoning does not easily generalize to higher category theory.
The following gives a more abstract argument that is short and generalizes.
We state it in (∞,1)-category theory just for definiteness of notation:
Its limit is the product ∏ ic i of these.
if D={a→→b} then limF is the equalizer of the two morphisms F(b)→F(a).
See the motivation at ind-object.
Here on the right the limit is over the functor F(−)(c):D op→Set.
Similarly for colimits Similarly colimits of presheaves are computed objectwise.
The Yoneda embedding does not in general preserve colimits.
Limits in under categories are a special case of limits in comma categories.
This is what the following does.
Limits in an under category are computed as limits in the underlying category.
Let F:D→t/C be any functor.
It therefore remains to show that this is indeed a limiting cone over F.
Again, this is immediate from the universal property of the limit in C.
This demonstrates the required universal property of t→limpF and thus identifies it with limF.
This property is used in Nagata-Smirnov metrization theorem:
So I decided to give an exercise on the fundamental groupoid of a union.
Then I felt I ought to write out a solution.
(This anomaly is also significant, in illustrating the limitations of exact sequences.)
This contrast gets more significant in higher dimensions.

WISC implies (in ZF) that there exist arbitrarily large regular cardinals.
A proof without large cardinals was given in (Karagila).
The underlying map on object sets is U→X 0.
By WISC there is a surjection V→X 0 and a map V→U over X 0.
This definition is called external because it refers to an external category of sets.
This is to be contrasted with the internal version of WISC, discussed below.
This does not satisfy WISC.

Let 𝒞 be a category, and let ∅∈𝒞 be an object.

Here are some important examples:
Sheaves on Op(Z) are generalized spaces over Z.
And in fact, this is the generic case.
The notion of “generalized” here depends on the perspective of our probes.
These may be very different from ordinary manifolds and ordinary topological spaces.
There are generalized smooth spaces with a single point and still many curves in them.
luckily it doesn’t, as one can check
Both notions of maps, while defined differently, happen to be perfectly equivalent.
It turns out that we can keep going this way.
One says that such f U is a weak homotopy equivalence.
One says one picks a resolution.
We come back to our original motivation.
Another term for this generalized cohomology theory thus obtained is nonabelian cohomology.
It turns out that sheaf cohomology is precisely the abelian part of general cohomology.
Here is what “abelian part of general cohomology” means:
From a more modern perspective all these are just tools for unraveling an independent reality.
This also explains why there are so many different tools which yield the same results.
We had wanted to obtain a generalized notion of space such that this is remedied.

Then there is an equivalence of categories PSh(∫ CP)≃PSh(C)/P.
The inverse takes f:Q→P to i −1(f)(A,p∈P(A))=f A −1(p).
In particular, this equivalence shows that slices of presheaf toposes are presheaf toposes.
We discuss topos points of over-toposes.
The claim then follows with the assumption that ℰ has enough points.
Both of these have accompanying model structures.

In particular it will change the degree of cohomology theories.
suppose E∈2−RFT(X) is a 2d Riemmanian field theory.

This introduces locality into FQFTs, at the expense of working with n-categories.
This will however not be studied here for the moment.
This requires to replace manifolds by supermanifolds.
Example let d=0 and consider 0-dimensional TFTs over X.
This is not quite what is intended.
We want to see smooth maps on the right.
To get that, we need to talk about smooth functors on the left.
So turning this into an Eilenberg-Steenrod theory yields the trivial theory.
The way out to that will be to go to supermanifolds.
these two passes cannot easily be interleaved due to their differing direction.

This immediately raises the question for natural classes of examples of such prequantizations.
The prequantum n-bundles arising this way are the higher WZW terms discussed here.
We have ω=μ(θ)where θ is the Maurer-Cartan form on G.
In the example of Spin and p=1 this extension is the string 2-group.
As such, this is also known as the WZW gerbe or similar.
This terminology arises as follows.
This is equivalently the ∇ that we just motivated above.
Here we discuss the general construction and theory of such higher WZW terms.
So let 𝔤 be an L-∞ algebra of finite type.
We find further characterization of this below in corollary , see remark .

This page is about valuation in measure theory.
For valuation in algebra (on rings/fields) see at valuation.
Let L be a distributive lattice with a bottom element ⊥.
Note that, differently from measures, there is no explicit mention of complements.
See correspondence between measure and valuation theory for more on this.
Let L be a locale.
Then a valuation on L is by definition a valuation on its frame 𝒪(L).
Let X be a topological space, and let x∈X be a point.
For more on this, see τ -additive measure.
Then the restriction of μ to the open subsets of X is a valuation.
The valuation is continuous if and only if μ is τ -additive.
Valuations share a number of constructions which are similar to those for measures.
The constructions below are given for the case of continuous valuations on topological spaces.
We call f *ν the pushforward valuation of ν along f.
Compare with the analogous construction for measures.
Note that this is not enough to define a valuation a priori.
Valuations admit a notion of support similar to that of measures.
We say that U is a null or measure zero set for ν if ν(U)=0.
The way to define integration, mutatis mutandis, parallels usual Lebesgue integral construction.
We sketch the construction for the case of topological spaces.
Let ν be a valuation on a space X.
A simple lower semicontinuous function is a lower semicontinuous function assuming only finitely many values.
We define the integral of a simple f as ∫fdν≔∑ ir iν(U i).

Take an increasing net (g α) α∈A of nonnegative simple lower semicontinuous functions.

Extending valuations to measures
As we have seen above, a Borel measure always restricts to a valuation.
In general, the answer is negative.
This includes in particular every metric space, and every compact Hausdorff space.
Particular cases Every Dirac valuation can be extended to the corresponding Dirac measure.
(Equivalently, the restriction of measures to valuations is a natural transformation).
(See also the measure monad on Top.)
Such groups often make their appearance as fundamental groups of interesting topological spaces.
They are apt to invite topological / geometric methods.
That is why (ii) is needed.
The commutative case is rather classical.
In contrast, (2,1)-toposes are much better understood.
See also higher topos theory.
In that case, Giraud's theorem famously characterizes sheaf toposes.
This characterization has a 2-categorical analog: the 2-Giraud theorem.
By the 2-Giraud theorem, 𝒳 is an exact 2-category.
With this, the first statement is this theorem at 2-congruence.
With this the second and third statement is this theorem at 2-congruence.
This is in stark contrast to the situation for an ambient 1-category.
The generalization of this phenomenon is discussed at category object in an (∞,1)-category.
The archetypical 2-topos is Cat.
This plays the role for 2-toposes as Set does for 1-toposes.

Thus prerelations have transitive closures but not necessarily reflexive-transitive closures.
Either way, this is the same as X *∪{X}.

There is another notion of determinant for quaternionic matrices, the Study determinant.
It clearly obeys det S(ST)=det S(S)det S(T),det S(1)=1.

Similar comments apply to a wealth of other topics of mathematics.
Duality is of course an ancient notion in philosophy.
In both cases, the literature left some room in delineating what precisely is meant.
This allows to explore the possibility that there is more than a coincidence of terms.
All this is discussed in the chapter on fundamental super p-branes.
Here we introduce the requisites for understanding these statements.
This constitutes what is sometimes called the language of categories.
This we turn to further below.
But not all categories are “concrete” in this way.
Let 𝒞 be a category (Def. ).
Clearly, these are small categories (Def. ).
Let (S,≤) be a preordered set.
In fact every groupoid with precisely one object is of the form.
Let 𝒞 be a category.
This relation is known as formal duality.
Let 𝒞 and 𝒟 be two categories (Def. ).
Accordingly, this composition is unital and associative.
Let 𝒞 be a category (Def. ).
A fully faithful functor is also called a full subcategory-inclusion.
This is called the full subcategory of 𝒞 on the objects in S.
See at structure for more on this.
Notice that the formal Cartesian spaces ℝ n|q are fully defined by this assignment.
Notice that the super Cartesian spaces ℝ n|q are fully defined by this assignment.

Conversely, f is called the adjunct of f˜.
Below in Example we identify adjoint triples as adjunctions of adjunctions.
Similarly there are adjoint quadruples, etc.
This is clearly already the defining condition on the floor function ⌊x⌋.
This is evidently already the defining condition on the floor function ⌊x⌋.
But Functions between such sets are unique, when they exist.
These hence form an adjoint triple (Remark ) Disc⊣U⊣coDisc.
We now consider a sequence of equivalent reformulations of the condition of adjointness.
The converse formula follows analogously.
The argument for the naturality of ϵ is directly analogous.
Hence it remains to show the converse.
We consider one more equivalent characterization of adjunctions:
In one direction, assume a left adjoint L is given.
Then the statement that this really is a universal arrow is implied by Prop. .
In the other direction, assume that universal arrows η c are given.
There is a canonical functor F/c ⟶ 𝒟.
The other case is directly analogous.
Suppose that R 1,R 2:𝒞→𝒟 are two functors which both are right adjoint to L.
To complete this pattern, we will see below in Prop.
We consider the first case, the second is formally dual (Example ).
Next let c 1↪fc 2 be a monomorphism.
But the main preservation property of adjoint functors is that adjoints preserve (co-)limits.
Example (adjunctions of adjoint pairs are adjoint triples)
Let 𝒞 be a strict 2-category (Def. ).
These are also called strict 2-functors.
This is called an equivalence of categories (Def. below).
Let 𝒞, 𝒟 be two categories (Def. ).
Let 𝒞, 𝒟 be two categories (Def. ).
Let 𝒞 and 𝒟 be two categories (Def. ).
The second claim is formally dual.
In conclusion, we have the following three equivalent perspectives on modalities.
This is the most common flavor of representations.

The analytic-synthetic distinction has a long history stretching back to the ancient Greeks.
The solution is thought to be put together (συντίθημι).
Thus it analyses, or unravels (ἀναλύω), the problem.
Often analytic discovery was written up in synthetic fashion.
In the seventeenth century, Descartes understood the distinction in the same way.
Kant famously disagreed with this claim.

Let C be a semiabelian category.
Here the notion of internal groupoid is the usual diagrammatic notion.
The two diagrams can be translated into equations, which may often be helpful.
In other words, δ is equivariant for the action of G 1.
The first diagram is slightly more subtle.
The first diagram says that the two actions coincide.
Equationally this gives: δ(g 2)g 2 ′=g 2g 2 ′g 2 −1.
This equation is known as the Peiffer rule in the literature.

Thus the category of modules over groups embeds in the category of crossed modules.
There is an induced map on homotopy groups π 1(F)⟶π 1(i)π 1(E)
With this action (π 1(F),π(E),π 1(i)) is a crossed module.
This will not be proved here, but is not that difficult.
What is fun is that this generalises to ‘higher dimensions’.)
Whitehead’s proof of this theorem used knot theory and transversality.

We can Yoneda extend O-modules to presheaves.
Clearly, Aff and O can be much generalized.

In the context of topology, we often speak of the empty subspace.
The formally dual concept is that of disjoint union topological spaces.
By definition of disjoint union there is a bijection of underlying sets X⊔X≃X×{1,2}.
Under the above bijection the we have U⊔V=(U×{1})∪(V×{2}).
Then the product topological spaces satisfy ℝ n 1×ℝ n 2≃ℝ n 1+n 2.
Then the infinite product space ∏n∈ℤDisc(S) is itself not a discrete space.
The open subsets of a discrete space include all the subsets of the underlying set.
Then {1}⊂S is a proper subset.
Accordingly the product subset ∏n∈𝔹{1}⊂∏n∈ℕDisc(S) is not open.
Write Disc({0,1}) for the the discrete topological space with two points.

An important class of sheaves are the torsors.
Let G be a sheaf of groups on B.
The category, Tors(B;G) of G-torsors on B is a groupoid.
(We abuse notation and just write Tors(U;G) for the corresponding groupoid.
It thus corresponds to a Grothendieck fibration or fibred category over Open(B).
(Roughly ‘morphisms glue, objects glue up to isomorphism’.
This stack will be called 𝒯ors(G).
There is a stackcompletion functor from fibred categories to stacks.
If we stack complete it, we get … 𝒯ors(G).
A groupoid need not have any objects … if it is empty!
So a group is a very special type of groupoid.
It is non-empty and connected.

More abstractly, Adams operations can be defined on any Lambda-ring.
They are an example of power operations.
While explicit, this definition may look contrived on first sight.
This is proposition below.
Moreover, the first two of these already uniquely characterize the Adams operations.
Every groupoid is a quasigroupoid.
Every loopoid and associative quasigroupoid is a quasigroupoid.
A one-object quasigroupoid is a quasigroup.
A quasigroupoid enriched in truth values is an equivalence relation.
Therefore every ∞-stack on Diff may be presented by a simplicial manifold.

Adding our two results, we have: BF 2+AK 2=AB⋅(AN+BN)=AB 2.

The five vertices that project onto the line segment ZSQ will form another pentagon.
These two pentagons are shown in the diagram below.
These clues led Greg Egan to the present proof.
Avoiding the intermediate value theorem
Finally, suppose we wish to avoid using the intermediate value theorem.
The altitude CM 1 of this triangle is the radius of the decagon.
The altitude VM 1 is the radius of the hexagon.
And the altitude WM 1 is the radius of the pentagon.
From the dual Pythagorean theorem, this establishes the pentagon-decagon-hexagon identity.
This yields the following results:
See page 102–103 here and page 104 here.
A formal system is complete or semantically complete when all its tautologies are theorems.
This is generally known as the completeness theorem.
However, there are many such isomorphisms; the automorphism group is ℂ∖{0}.
An equivalence class is an element of a quotient set.
There are a variety of ways to make this precise.
Let S be a set, and let ∼ be an equivalence relation on S.
Then there exists a set S/∼, the quotient set of S modulo ∼.
Every element of S/∼ is of this form.
Let x be an element of S.
Then the quotient set S/∼ is the collection of these equivalence classes.
Every equivalence class has at least one representative, and its representatives are all equivalent.
The set of representatives is the equivalence class in the material set-theoretic sense.
This does not require the axiom of choice.
This describes one approach to weakly enriching in the 2-dimensional case.
A category weakly enriched in a monoidal bicategory W is called a W-bicategory.
These 2-cells are required to satsify higher dimensional coherence axioms.

Let f:M→N be a smooth map of smooth manifolds.
In particular, f is transveral along every regular value p∈N.
In Cat, this is equivalent to f being conservative in the usual sense.

In Cat, the left class consists of (possibly transfinitely) iterated localizations.

We may also define an ultrafilter to be maximal among the proper filters.
There are in fact many interrelated ways of defining ultrafilters.
We present a few here.
Ultrafilters form a monad
For any set X, let UX be the set of ultrafilters on X.
The multiplication can be described fairly explicitly.
This monad is traditionally denoted β.
The ultrafilter monad can also be described as follows.
See Leinster for a full account, and some extensions.
The endofunctor β is terminal among endofunctors Set→Set that preserve finite coproducts.
This gives one universal characterization of the ultrafilter endofunctor.
Another known universal characterization of the ultrafilter monad is via the concept of codensity monads.
Let i:Fin→Set be the usual full inclusion of finite sets into sets.
(Here i +:Fin +→Set denotes the standard inclusion.)
We may denote this by (−) X for short.
There are other descriptions of ultrafilters, based on k-valued Post algebras.
The forgetful functor U k:BoolAlg→M k-Set is full and faithful.
Let us take for example k=3.
Lawvere gives a couple more examples of a more geometric nature.
It is not hard to verify that this condition indeed defines a topology.
The monad β also extends to the bicategory Rel of sets and binary relations.
Thus, compact Hausdorff spaces are to topological spaces as monoidal categories are to multicategories.
A proof may be found at independent family of sets.

Connected geometric morphisms are in particular surjective.
Suppose also for simplicity that F=Set.
(This is C3.3.3 in the Elephant.)
, connected morphisms are representably co-fully-faithful in Topos.
The reflector constructs “Π 0 of a locally connected topos.”
These results all have generalizations to ∞-connected (∞,1)-toposes.
Then the over-topos ℰ/X is also connected and locally connected.
This makes ℰ/X be a locally connected topos.
Notice that the terminal object of ℰ/X is (X→IdX).
By the above proposition this means that ℰ/X is also connected.

Here we discuss the latter.
Two such are taken to be equivalent, f∼g, if ‖f−g‖ p=0.
For p=2 this is the space L 2 of square integrable functions.
For fixed f, the norm ‖f‖ p is continuous in p.
See the definitions at p-norm.
This is usually known as Minkowski's inequality.
All functions f may be assumed to be real- or complex-valued.

Using ∫|u| p=1=∫|v| p, we are done.

The first proof was given in (Zermelo 1904).
(This does require excluded middle, however.)
The large principles do not follow from the small ones.
But together with excluded middle it implies choice.
However, Zorn’s lemma is not particularly useful without excluded middle.
In the strict 2-category of categories, equifiers can be computed as follows.
The above explicit definition makes it clear that any equifier is a fully faithful morphism.
Any strict equifier is, in particular, an equifier.
(This is not true for all strict 2-limits.)
Strict equifiers are, by definition, a particular case of PIE-limits.
Similarly there there is the full subcategory FinGrp↪Grp of finite groups.
This is because the only pointed intertwiner between two homomorphisms is the identity.
Precisely analogous statements hold for the category Alg of algebras.
The category of groups is also balanced.
Here we give a constructive proof.
This carries a G-module structure defined by (g⋅f)(g′)=f(g′g).
We claim that i:H→G is the equalizer of the pair ϕ,ψ.
The category of groups is balanced: every epic mono is an isomorphism.
Every epimorphism in the category of groups is a coequalizer.
Indeed, (regular) monos are in Grp not stable under pushouts.
A purely mathematical definition of the intended class of functions is given below.
Clearly the primitive recursive functions are a subclass of partial recursive functions.
Similarly, a primitive recursive relation is a relation whose characteristic function is primitive recursive.
The factorial function n↦n! is primitive recursive.
It is defined by the recursion x−⋅0=x, x−⋅(y+1)=Pred(x−⋅y).
So “equals zero” is a computable relation.
Therefore the equality relation |x−y|=0 is a primitive recursive relation.
Hence Boolean combinations of primitive recursive relations are primitive recursive.
By the aforementioned properties, this g is manifestly primitive recursive.
However, we do have a sample theorem as follows.
The bounded least choice property shows that f(x) is primitive recursive.
(The converse holds by one of the properties listed above.)
But this function is simply f.
Corollary The inverse of a recursive bijection f is also recursive.
The Ackermann function A:ℕ→ℕ is defined by A(m)=A m(m).
(The function is named after Wilhelm Ackermann.
It does however belong to the class of partial recursive functions.
By property 1 above, A 0 is primitive recursive.
We also have n<A n(3) for all n. Lemma
(We say f is dominated by A n, for short.)
In the case where f is constant with value m, take n=m.
For f the successor, use n=0.
Now proceed by induction on the construction of primitive recursive functions.
Indeed, this is true by assumption for y=0.
The Ackermann function A is not primitive recursive.
In that case, ϕ is dominated by A n for some n≥3.
We then arrive at the contradiction A n(n)+1=ϕ(n)≤A n(max{3,n})=A n(n).
The graph of the Ackermann function is a primitive recursive relation.
(Explicitly, the iteration is y i+1≔A x−i(y i−1).)
This shows that the ternary predicate A x(y)=z is primitive recursive.
Here we exhibit a primitive recursive bijection whose inverse is not primitive recursive.
Observe that both I and its complement ¬I in ℕ are infinite.
It is a bijection by construction.
Of course, there is always good old Wikipedia: Wikipedia, Computable function
Some examples of semicartesian monoidal categories that are not cartesian include the following.
This monoidal product is semicartesian.
If so, it is a theorem that C is a cartesian monoidal category.
So, suppose (C,⊗,1) is a semicartesian symmetric monoidal category.
The unique map e x:x→I is a monoidal natural transformation.
The converse is also true.
For that one needs extra axioms; see this cafe discussion for details.
Conversely, the Eilenberg-Moore adjunction of a Hopf monad is a Hopf adjunction.
There is a famous cover of the projective space by quadrics called Jouanolou cover.

A quantaloid is a category enriched in the closed symmetric monoidal category of suplattices.
A famous example, due to R.F.C. Walters, is given below.
Let E be a Grothendieck topos.
Then the bicategory of relations in E, Rel(E), is a quantaloid.
Here is a particularly rich source of examples.
Let Q be a quantale.
Composition works exactly as before.
Next, let Q be a *-quantale.
Like multicategories, polycategories have both symmetric and non-symmetric variants.
In properads and PROPs, we allow composition along multiple objects at once.
Polycategories provide a natural categorical semantics for classical linear logic.

The latter fact is also known as the (traditional) Stonean duality.

See at Set – Properties – Opposite category.
Another approach is via overlap algebras.

Its fibrant objects over Assoc are A-∞ spaces, over Comm they are E-∞ spaces.

Thorsten Altenkirch is an associate professor for computer science at University of Nottingham.
Proposition The coproduct in Top of a small family of paracompacta is a paracompactum.
The proof is very easy.
A closed subspace A of a paracompactum X is also a paracompactum.
Finally, A is Hausdorff because Hausdorffness is a hereditary property.
For the sake of convenience, we reproduce the proof given here.
To prove that j is a subspace, let U⊆C be any open set.
It follows that j −1(W)=U, so that j is a subspace inclusion.
(See also Michael's theorems.)
For now we omit giving the proof (given in Michael).
Before applying this theorem, we need a few lemmas that play supporting roles.
The next result is an important observation about extending continuous selections.
We check that S is lsc.

Now we put Michael’s selection theorem to use in developing colimits of paracompacta.

This page is about object classifier objects in (∞,1)-toposes.
A crucial ingredient in a topos is a subobject classifier.
This is made precise in the context of (∞,1)-topos theory.
This statement is originally due to Charles Rezk.
It is reproduced as (Lurie HTT, theorem 6.1.6.8).
See there for more details and see at relation between category theory and type theory.
It possesses an internal (∞,1)-topos structure.
See also (WdL, book 2, section 1).
For instance, every topos has a subobject classifier.
For instance, every (2,1)-topos has a discrete object classifier.
For each object X, a subobject classifier classifies the subobjects of X.
For each object X, an object classifier classifies the objects over X.
This is HTT, notation 6.1.3.4 and HTT, def. 6.1.6.1.
This is (HTT, def. 6.1.6.1).
This appears as (HTT, prop. 6.1.6.3) and the remark below that.
Every (∞,1)-topos has a discrete object classifier.
This is due to Charles Rezk.

Then the following are equivalent: V⊂X is a closed subspace.
Suppose on the contrary that such ϵ did not exist.
Hence then we could choose points x k∈B x ∘(1/k)∩V in these intersections.
Then K, called the Kuratowski monoid, has at most 14 elements.
as a corollary, the Kuratowski monoid K has exactly 14 elements.
Thus there is a 7-element submonoid K cov↪K.

C⊂X is weakly closed if it contains all its limit points.
The situation is better for locales; see below.
Every closed sublocale of a spatial locale is spatial.
Every closed sublocale of a discrete locale is spatial.
We remarked above that (1)⇒(2), and of course (2)⇒(3).
So assume (3).
It is the specialization of the notion of fiberwise closed sublocale?
Since strong and weak denseness coincide classically, so do strong and weak closedness.

Recall that “second-countable” means having a countable base.
A regular space with a countable base is normal.
Proposition A regular space X with a countable base is normal.
Let A,B be disjoint closed sets of X.
By second-countability, we may index it as U 1,U 2,….
It is clear that the Y n cover A and the Z n cover B.
A completely regular space X with countable base can be embedded in [0,1] ℕ.
The set S={(U,V)∈ℬ×ℬ:U¯⊆V} is countable.
Provided that g s(x)−g s(y)<1, we see g s(y)≠0, so y∈V.

The inverse image satisfies: from f *(Z)≅∅ ℱ follows Z≅∅ ℰ.
s as a surjection is dominant as well, and so is their composition f.
Conversely, suppose f:ℱ→ℰ is dominant and i *(Z)≅∅ Im(f).
Then f factors as a dominant geometric morphism d followed by a closed inclusion c.
Since d 1 is surjective, it is dominant (cf. above).

Rational equivalence generalizes linear equivalence? of Weil divisors.
It is an example of an adequate equivalence relation.
The dual notion is that of a coseparator.
See Definition B2.4.1 in the Elephant.
Progenerators are important in classical Morita theory, see Morita equivalence.
The notion of extremal separator admits an equivalent reformulation not referencing coproducts:
The functors C(S i,−):C→Set are jointly faithful for every separator.
It remains to show that f is a monomorphism.
For this, let u,v:X→A such that fu=fv.
Given A∈C, joint faithfulness implies that ε A is epic.
If C is balanced, then every separator is extremal.
If C has pullbacks, then every extremal separator is strong.
If C is regular, then every strong separator is regular.
The converse implications do always hold.
Finally, the strongest kind of separator commonly seen is that of dense separator.
Among these are the infinitesimal gauge symmetries which will be of concern below.
It is sufficient to prove the coordinate version of the statement.
We prove this by induction over the maximal jet order k.
This shows the statement for k=0.
Now assume that the statement is true up to some k∈ℕ.
This shows that v^ satisfying the two conditions given exists uniquely.
Let E→fbΣ be a fiber bundle.

This describes infinitesimal translations of the fields in the direction of ∂ ν.
This conserved current is called the energy-momentum tensor.
This is called the Dirac current.
That this is indeed the case is the statement of prop. below.
Example (source forms and evolutionary vector fields are field-dependent sections)
It is sufficient to check this in local coordinates.
Let (E,L) be a Lagrangian field theory.
But the Lie derivative of the component functions is just their plain derivative.
Therefore it is sufficient to show that v^(δ ELLδϕ a)| ℰ ∞=0.
Write ℰ↪J Σ ∞(E) for the shell (?).
For the conserved currents this is sometimes known as the Dickey bracket Lie algebra.
For the Hamiltonian forms it is the Poisson bracket Lie p+1-algebra.
We call this the local Poisson Lie bracket.
First we need to check that the bracket is well defined in itself.
This shows that the bracket is well defined.
Consider the Lagrangian field theory for the free real scalar field from example .
This concludes our discussion of general infinitesimal symmetries of a Lagrangian.

In 1952, C. H. Dowker showed why.
There are natural questions that arise here.
That is discussed more in Dowker's Theorem.
It looks very much a situation for a combinatorial duality result.
The answer is most decidedly ‘yes’.

Then we take the completion V⊗^W, which is a Banach space.
The specific cross norms from the previous section qualify as much as possible:
We therefore obtain the following relationship between ϵ, σ, and π:
Let A and B be finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.
Let |ψ⟩ be a pure state of A⊗B.
Then there exist orthonormal families?
A compact space is a fortiori countably compact.
A sequentially compact space is countably compact.
Suppose X is countably compact and A is a countable closed discrete subspace.
Clearly we still have V a∩A={a}.
as was to be shown.
Consider any countable open cover U 1,U 2,… of X.
Rename it as ∅=W 0⊂W 1⊂W 2⊂….
Thus A is a closed discrete subspace, and is finite by limit point compactness.
But unlike ZFC and MK, NBG can be finitely axiomatized.

BiCat is sometimes denoted Hom.
This category has finite but not infinite products, and all small coproducts.
It does not have equalizers or coequalizers, and is not cartesian closed.
So, it is a quasitopos.

Let k be a field.
this gives the inverse ϕ −1(x)=q.
In this way we obtain an isomorphism ϕ:C→L of subvarieties.
Hence C is a curve of genus 0.

For example, consider p(x,y)=x 2+y 2+1 over ℝ.
Of course we can relax again if k is algebraically closed.

We may think of this operation as the analog of linearizing a space.
This is what Goodwillie calculus studies.
Thus, ∂ •F is a symmetric sequence of spectra.

The following dictionary indicates what the correspondence between the two subjects is.
Division by x is shifting down the coefficients of a power series.
(The “−1” comes about from issues to do with basepoints.)
Of course, these functors play an important role in topology as well.
Correction: After the talk Boekstedt asked about that remark.
In fact curvature is the wrong thing to look for.
Both are flat and torsion-free.
There is a map between them, so it is meaningful to subtract them.
This is from the report (p. 905) on a Oberwolfach meeting.
The table on p. 900 also makes comparisons to differential geometry.
Any linear functor from spaces to spaces is a generalized cohomology theory.
Really I should be using pointed spaces here.
The fibrant objects are precisely those functors which are linear in Goodwillie’s sense.
So now why should spectra/cohomology theories be thought of as linear functors?
This is a linear functor which is the best approximation to the original functor.
So it is like taking a derivative of a function.
Goodwillie’s insight was to extend this analogy to encompass the rudiments of calculus.

In physics the latter are often referred to simply as the supersymmetry algebra.
A gauge transformation in such a theory is called a local supersymmetry transformation.
In fact, generically it will not.
It does have such a global symmetry for every Killing vector on the spacetime.
Such may or may not exist.
Generically it does not exist.

We write sLieAlg for the resulting category of super Lie algebras.
These may be called the “abelian” super Lie algebras.
Using this we may finally say what a super-extension is supposed to be:
We now make explicit structure involved in super-extensions of Lie algebras:
This yields the claimed structure.
This is exactly the claimed 𝔤-equivariance of the pairing.
These are the standard supersymmetry algebras in the physics literature.
Hence we get an “exotic” super-extension of the Poincaré Lie algebra.
One may appeal to the Haag–Łopuszański–Sohnius theorem.
Now we write out the supersymmetry algebra thus obtained more explicitly.
We discuss the classification of possible supersymmetry super Lie algebras.
Super-Poincaré symmetry super Poincaré Lie algebras exist for every real spinor representation.

Refinement is a partial order on the class of partitions of S.

Theorem Having a left multi-adjoint can be equivalently characterized as follows:
We first prove the Hom-characterization from the definition.
Given (i,ϕ:L(x,i)→y), we get α(ϕ):=Rϕ∘η x,i:x→Ry.
The definition demands that this is an isomorphism.
To see naturality, let χ:y→z.
Now let α be given.
Then we define η x,i=α(i,id):x→RL(x,i).
Then invertibility of α proves the condition in the definition.
This is an example of a Grothendieck construction.

Then we construct a morphism part such that α is natural in c.
Take ϕ:Hom C(c,c′).
This preserves the identity: K(id)=λi.α −1(η x,i∘id)=λi.(i,id).
Let ϕ:Hom C(c,c′) and χ:Hom C(c′,c″).
Now we prove that α is natural in c.

So, we define ρ inductively by ρ(−)=0,ρ(v⊗w)=ρ(v)+ρ(w)+len(w)−1.
The proof is by induction on ρ(v).
Consider two paths from v to w (n).
As above, we get in this case that dom(β″)=w and u˜=u.
This completes the proof for the current case.
Proved similarly to the previous case.
W.l.o.g., we will assume 3 β.

Following Jacob Lurie we call such a 𝒢 a geometry .
We want to be talking about generalized spaces modeled on the objects of 𝒢.
We explain what this means from right to left.
The (∞,1)-category Sh(𝒢) is called an ∞-stack (∞,1)-topos.
Every ∞-stack (∞,1)-topos has a hypercompletion to one of this form.
This discussion here is glossing over all set-theoretic size issues.
The available entity closest to it is the terminal object * 𝒳∈𝒳.
This yields an (∞,1)-functor 𝒪:𝒢→𝒳.
This is canonically equipped with a (∞,1)-functor 𝒪 SpecX:𝒢→SpecX.
But such concrete spaces may still be very different from the model objects in 𝒢.
for the moment this here is glossing over the difference between the two.
See geometry (for structured (∞,1)-toposes) for the details.
It is actually a derived Deligne-Mumford stack.
Let ℳ 1,1 be the ordinary moduli stack of elliptic curves.
This gives an E ∞-ring valued structure sheaf 𝒪 Der:(ϕ:SpecR→𝒳)↦E ϕ.
What, if anything, is this derived stack a derived moduli stack of?
we have an equivalence Hom(SpecA,(𝒳,𝒪 Der))≃E(A) naturally in A. Proof
Jacob Lurie writes that the proof proceeds alonmg these steps.
Details will be discussed in the next session.
The formulation and efficient proof we give are modeled on some notes by Ross Street.

This entry is about the notion of naturalness in (particle-)physics.
This is also called the hierarchy problem.
The opposite of naturalness is having a theory.
Compactified string/ M-theories appear to be strong candidates for such a theory.
But this claim makes no sense when one becomes familiar with the history of physics.
There is also the very small value of the weak coupling constant.

(This is what is called Grothendieck's Galois theory.)
This profinite completion occurs only because Grothendieck considers locally finite objects.
It, in fact, leads to a classification theorem for Grothendieck toposes.
See A. Grothendieck, (1975?), Letter to L. Breen.
Does a topos have a fundamental groupoid?
The paper Higher Monodromy shows what the fundamental 2-groupoid classifies.
They don’t seem to treat the topos case, though.
Reprinted Dover (2008).
Hence beables mostly refer to sets of commuting operators, classical contexts.
This same argument was much later used to motivate Bohr toposes.
This is the subalgebra on which ρ is dispersion free.

One tries to classify extensions of Lie algebras 0→𝔨→i𝔤→p𝔟→0 Theorem.
Let (χ,ψ) be a factor system as above.
Let 𝔤,𝔨 be Lie algebras.
Checking this is a straightforward matter of unwinding the definitions of morphisms of L ∞-algebras.
Which is what we indicate.
This is the underlying data of the nonabelian 2-cocycle.
This shows that morphisms 𝔤→Der(𝔨) are in bijection to the nonabelian cocycles.
It remains to show that the homotopies map to coboundaries.

Here L(V,−) denotes the enriched hom in the topological category L.
This way vectorial bundles lend themselves to the description of topological K-theory.
In particular, they allow a geometric model for twisted K-theory.
In particular they are all equal to the 0-morphism to (0,0).
Therefore the bundles of this form represent the 0-element.
There is a concordance E⊕E ∨→0.
The definition of vectorial bundles is due to Furuta.
For example, there is a classical solution with A=ω=e=0.

Discussion from an nPOV is in Classical field theory via Cohesive homotopy types
This includes book HoTT, the theory presented in the HoTT book.
The circle is a fantastic thing with lots and lots of properties and extra structures.
The topological circle is a compact, connected topological space.
It is not simply connected.
Equivalently, the circle is the Eilenberg-Mac Lane space K(ℤ,1).
Explicitly, the first homotopy group π 1(S 1) is the integers ℤ.
A proof of this in homotopy type theory is in Shulman P1S1.
Generally, the n-torus T n is (S 1) n.
Here a valuation ν:A→[0,∞] is faithful if ν(a)=0 implies a=0.
The category of localizable Boolean algebras admits all small limits and small colimits.
It is equivalent to the category of commutative von Neumann algebras.
But more generally it models nonabelian cohomology.
There they are called anafunctors.
An element v∈V n is a chain.
A linear dual ω:V n→k on its elements is a cochain.
Frequency is a number of occurences of a periodic event in time.
The combination ω≔2πν=2πk 0 is called the angular frequency.
The property X→fY is a surjective function.
This is the very definition of surjectivity.
We shall see that this pattern holds in other examples as well.
Similarly, the property X→fY is an injective function.
This is the very definition of injectivity.
To give two distinct points is to give an injective map.
X is a T 2 -space.
This is represented by the following lifting property diagram.
We give one more reformulation which does not require special notation.
X is extremally disconnected.
This is represented by the following lifting property diagram.
(Notice that topologically disjoint sets must be disjoint.)
(Notice that separated sets must be topologically disjoint and disjoint.)
Equivalently, we may assume that f takes values in [0,1]⊆ℝ.
Equivalently, we may assume that f takes values in [0,1]⊆ℝ.
Notice that sets precisely separated by a function must be separated by a function.
In all of the following definitions, X is a topological space.
All weak Hausdorff spaces are T1, and all Hausdorff spaces are weak Hausdorff.
As a lifting diagram this is
In particular, we see that every Hausdorff space is also T1.
The other cases are similar but easier.
Hence, every T212 space is also Hausdorff.
Every regular space is also R1.
Every regular Hausdorff space is also T212.
Every completely regular space is also regular.
Every Tychonoff space is both regular Hausdorff and completely Hausdorff.
Every normal Hausdorff space is both Tychonoff and normal regular.
Compare this argument to colimits of normal spaces.
Every perfectly normal space is also completely normal.
The following notation and terminology helps to discuss applications.
Compare this argument to what is given in colimits of normal spaces.
Lifting properties give rise to reflection and weak factorisation systems.
This gives a statement about reflection close to separation axioms#Reflection.
Let (CHaus)=({0,1}→{0=1}∪{∅→K:Kis compact Hausdorff}).
Hence, X c.g. is isomorphic to k(X).
Compare our proof of the following lemmas with the one given in subspace topology#pushout.
Finally, for A=∅ the latter implies that ∅→B⧄Λ 2→Λ 1.
The following theorem is a summary of considerations above.
Extremally disconnected spaces being projective
Both being surjective and being proper are the right lifting properties.
In particular, if X is compact Hausdorff, so is S.
This is naturally filtered by either row-degree or by column-degree.
There are generalizations to non-additive categories.

This then implies that ∂x i −1∂x i=−x i −1∂x j ±1∂x i=0,i≠j
Then these uniquely determine the Fox derivative of F with respect to x.

This entry needs to be merged with Bell's inequalities.
The following tries to be a fairly verbatim recap of the argument in Bell 1964.
For a streamlined statement and proof see here at Bell's inequality.
We say it is “hidden” because its precise nature is not known.
However, it is still a very real parameter with a probability distribution ρ(λ).
The expectation value of the product of the two measurements is P(a→,b→)=∫dλρ(λ)A(a→,λ)B(b→,λ).
Thus we can write (1) as P(a→,b→)=−∫dλρ(λ)A(a→,λ)A(b→,λ).
Rearranging this we may write (3) as P(a→,b→)−P(a→,c→)=−∫dλρ(λ)A(a→,λ)A(b→,λ)[A(b→,λ)A(c→,λ)−1].
Suppose σ 1 and σ 2 are spins.
In theory this ought to equal P(a→,b→) but in practice it does not.
Notationally we refer to such a particle as belonging to type (a→+,b→−).
There is a very important assumption implied here.
In terms of populations, we have P(a→+;b→+)=(N 3+N 4)∑ i 8N i.
The positivity condition (9) then becomes P(a→+;b→+)≤P(a→+;c→+)+P(c→+;b→+).
This is Wigner’s form of Bell’s inequality.
As such, there are angles between these various axes.
From a geometric point of view, this inequality is not always possible.
(14) is violated for 0<θ<π2.

A (2,1)-category is a locally groupoidal 2-category.
An (n,1)-category with the analogous properties of a topos is an (n,1)-topos.
The canonical example of an (n+1,1)-category is nGrpd.
I am a graduate student in math at the University of Washington studying algebraic geometry.
One also says that E is a fibered category over B.
Dually, in a (Grothendieck) opfibration the dependence is covariant.
Less ambiguous terms for ∫F are the category of elements and the oplax colimit of F.
Those fibrations corresponding to pseudofunctors that factor through Grpd are called categories fibered in groupoids.
Most frequently when considering morphisms of fibrations, the bottom arrow B′→B is an identity.
The functor in the other direction is called the Grothendieck construction.
See Grothendieck construction for more details.
These two adjunctions can be turned into Quillen equivalences of model categories.
See straightening functor for more details.
This was the original application for which Grothendieck introduced the notion.
Composition is given as in the arrow category.
There is a forgetful functor 𝒫:VBun⟶Man which projects onto the base data.
This is of course true, and thus 𝒫:VBun⟶Man is a Grothendieck fibration.
Then the evident forgetful functor Mod→Ring is a fibration and an opfibration.
Then the “codomain” functor C 2→C is a fibration and opfibration.
The right adjoints f * exist iff C is locally cartesian closed.
This latter property is notably difficult to even express in the language of pseudofunctors.
Every fibration or opfibration is an isofibration.
In particular, strict 2-pullbacks of fibrations are also 2-pullbacks.
Then if B is cartesian closed, so is A and p preserves the structure.
(See Hermida 99, Corollary 4.12.)
But the converse does not hold, see Section 4.3.2 of Hermida’s thesis.
A dual construction is possible if p is an opfibration.
Similarly, we can lift factorization structures for cosinks along an opfibration.
These are also called categories fibered in groupoids.
A fibration E→B is fibered in groupoids precisely when every morphism in E is cartesian.
These are also called discrete fibrations.
These correspond to covariant pseudofunctors B→Cat.
A functor that is both a fibration and an opfibration is called a bifibration.
However E 2 is not the opposite category of E 1.
The idea of proto-fibration is closely related to this.
Interpreted in Cat we obtain the explicit notion we started with.
Such two-sided fibrations correspond to pseudofunctors A op×B→Cat.
See two-sided fibration for more details.
There is an analog for multicategories.
See fibration of multicategories Higher categorical versions
See n-fibration for a general version.
The corresponding analog of the Grothendieck construction is discussed at (∞,1)-Grothendieck construction.
Here we mention a few.
Let π:B↓p→B denote the projection (x,e,k)↦x.
The following discussion brings out some interesting points about the equivalence between fibrations and pseudofunctors.
I have a (possibly stupid) question about the nature of this equivalence.
But can this really be equivalent to the fibration I started with?
Either way, it’d be great if someone could help me see the light.
Of course we are reproducing the classification of group extensions via group cohomology.
Ah, of course, that’s what I was missing.
Thanks, both of you; that clears it all up.
Let Y be a bornological set.
In fact, they are Banach algebras, indeed C *-algebras.
At least when X is localizable, they are in fact W *-algebras.
(Note that the involution * is trivial when the target is ℝ.)
Nevertheless, essentially bounded functions are traditional.
DisCoCat was first introduced in Coecke, Sadrzadeh and Clark 2010.
Consider a very simple fragment of English consisting of nouns and verbs.
Write n for the type of nouns, and s for the type of sentences.
Let 𝒞 be the free pregroup generated by n and s.
The final ingredient we need are word vectors.
We need to pick vectors [[Alice]],[[Bob]]∈F(n) and [[loves]]∈F(n)⊗F(s)⊗F(n).
One should instead use a free rigid monoidal category, a kind of categorification.
Morphisms in the free autonomous category can be viewed as proof relevant grammatical reductions.
They may be encoded as string diagrams, see pregroup grammar.
This allows a slightly more elegant reformulation of our basic example.
Then grammatical computations of meaning can be performed in the product category J×FVect.
There are multiple notions of domain of mathematics.

Thus, it is a vertical categorification of a Lie algebra.
Hence the weak equivalences are the equivariant weak homotopy equivalences.
The interval type is defined by the following rules:
An interval type is provably contractible.
An interval type is a cone type of the unit type.
An interval type is a cubical type?
The proof assumes a typal uniqueness rule for function types.
Mike Shulman, An interval type implies functional extensionality (blog post)
Carlo Angiuli, Univalence implies function extensionality (blog, pdf)
Let f:X→Y be a function.
We can be more specific:
The map f:X→Y is short if its Lipschitz norm is at most 1.
It is a contraction mapping? if its Lipschitz norm is strictly less than 1.
Every Lipschitz map is uniformly continuous.
Every Lipschitz map from the real line ℝ to itself is absolutely continuous.
Then we may pass to the quotient metric spaces and preserve the Lipschitz norm.
I kind of get lost in all of the possibilities.

A ringoid is small Ab-enriched category.
This is sufficient for there to be a notion of kernel and cokernel in C.

The full argument is spelled out at additive category.
Ringoids share many of the properties of (noncommutative) rings.
Modules over a ringoid also form an abelian category and thus have a derived category.
This sort of equivalence is naturally called Morita equivalence.

Any pretriangulated dg-category 𝒞 presents a stable (infinity,1)-category.
A plain dg-category only presents a spectrally enriched (infinity,1)-category.
The formula is just as for Lie integration of L-infinity algebroids.
There exist various model category structures which present the homotopy theory of L-∞ algebras.
As such they carry a model structure on algebras over an operad.
All gradings in the following are ℤ-gradings, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
This appears for instance in prop. and prop. below.
This has as fibrations precisely the chain maps that are surjective in every positive degree.
This case is (currently) not discussed in the following.
This we discuss here.
But there is also a natural identification of L ∞-algebras with infinitesimal derived ∞-stacks.
For expressing this a host of other, Quillen equivalent model structures are available.
These we discuss below in Definitions as formal/infinitesimal ∞-stacks.
Hence in particular (F⊢U) is Quillen adjunction between these model structures.
The last row points to the relevant definitions and propositions of the following text.
Here we are trying to use suggestive names of the categories involved.
Write dgLieAlg k∈Cat for the category of dg-Lie algebras over k.
We call this the model structure on dg-Lie algebras.
Therefore ℒ is also called the tangent Lie algebra functor.
On dg-coalgebras Let k be a field of characteristic 0.
(Hinich98, theorem 3.1) See also (Pridham, lemma 3.25).
We call this the model structure on dg-coalgebras.
But they form a sub-class:
In (Pridham) this is def. 1.32.
This is (Pridham, cor. 2.16).
This is (Pridham, def. 3.1) following (Manetti 02).
This is the reason for the appearance of pro-objects in def. .
This is (Pridham, prop. 4.36).
This is proven inside the proof of (Pridham, prop. 4.42).
The following proposition characterizes the structure of this category of fibrant objects.
Should spell out how this follows, using lifting.

This is (Pridham, cor. 4.49).
This is (Pridham, section 4.4).

We discuss some further properties of the above model category structures.
The model category dgFormalSpace, def. , is a right proper model category.

Due to maximality ⋃ λ∈ΛV λ is dense.
This fact implies by the countable chain condition that Λ is countable.
Moreover it implies that each U j intersects at least one V λ.
But this is to say that there are at most countably many U j’s.
metrisable: the topology is induced by a metric.
the topology of X is generated by a σ -locally discrete base.
separable: there is a countable dense subset.
Lindelöf: every open cover has a countable sub-cover.
countable choice: the natural numbers are a projective object in Set.
metacompact: every open cover has a point-finite open refinement.
first-countable: every point has a countable neighborhood base
second-countable spaces are Lindelöf.
weakly Lindelöf spaces with countably locally finite base are second countable.
separable metacompact spaces are Lindelöf.
Lindelöf spaces are trivially also weakly Lindelöf.
a first-countable space is obviously Fréchet-Urysohn.
a Fréchet-Uryson space is obviously sequential.
a sequential space is obviously countably tight.
paracompact spaces satisfying the countable chain condition are Lindelöf.
A map with two arguments is called bifunctorial if it is functorial in both arguments.
The term simplicial category has at least three common meanings.
The simplicial category Δ is the domain category for the presheaf category of simplicial sets.
More importantly, there are these two uses of the word:
To avoid ambiguity, simplicial objects in Cat may be called exactly that.
They may equivalently be regarded as internal categories in simplicial sets.
To avoid ambiguity, categories enriched over simplicial sets may be called simplicially enriched categories.
Of course there are close relations between these three meanings.
Unfortunately, this is not quite true.
The argument in the case of Set is given in this MO answer.

The path groupoid is a groupoid internal to some category of generalized smooth spaces.
Here’s an example where that fails:
This is constructed from two thin homotopies, and so has maximum rank 2!
The diffeological structure is simple to explain.
Then the smooth curves are those that compose to smooth curves under all smooth functions.
This means that concatenations such as the one above are allowed.

Es tritt Gegensatz der Prosa des Verstandes gegen poetisch religiöse Ansicht ein.
Überhaupt konnte schon bei Thales, Anaximander usf.
Diese poetische Ansicht zogen sie in die prosaische herab.
; diese Gegenstände sind uns bloße Dinge, dem Geiste äußerliche, geistlose Gegenstände.
Dinge kann man herleiten von Denken.
Denn im Denken weiß der Geist sich als das wahrhaft Seiende, Wirkliche.
Dieser Übergang solcher mythischen Ansicht zur prosaischen kommt hier zum Bewußtsein der Athenienser.
Im Anaxagoras tut sich ein ganz anderes Reich auf.
Andere haben viel historische Untersuchungen über diesen Hermotimos angestellt.
Dieser Name kommt noch einmal vor:
Die Einfachheit des nous ist nicht ein Sein, sondern Allgemeinheit (Einheit).
Dies Allgemeine für sich, abgetrennt, existiert rein nur als Denken.
Wie Anaxagoras den nous erklärt, den Begriff desselben gegeben, gibt Aristoteles näher an
»Nous ist ihm (Anaxagoras) dasselbe mit Seele.
Dies ist das in sich Konkrete.
Darin liegt 7) Zweck, das Gute.
In der Objektivität hat sich der Zweck erhalten.
; aber dies Dasein ist beherrscht durch den Zweck, und er ist darin erhalten.
Dies ist, daß der Zweck das Wahrhafte, die Seele einer Sache ist.
; es erhält sich so, weil es an sich Zweck ist.
Aber das Verhältnis seiner Tätigkeit bleibt nicht mechanisch, chemisch.
Verhältnisse werden darin vernichtet und verkehrt.

Moreover one wants these assignments to behave well with spacetime symmetry.
There are various further axioms in the list such as the time slice axiom.
The precise details of the list of axioms is in flux as the theory develops.

Neither of these terms is very descriptive.
There is no generally good theory available for how to make this choice.
For more details see local net of observables.
In AQFT such is called an isotonic net of algebras .
A common approach is to take all bounded open subsets of Minkowski spacetime.
For more general setups see AQFT on curved spacetimes.
This is called causal locality.
An online reference page is here:
See also the references at AQFT and at perturbative AQFT.
(on the latter see AQFT on curved spacetimes)
Hence the braid lemma, prop. , implies the claim.
This approach is known as “constructive quantum field theory”.
The idea is that substructures “inherit” the property from the structure.
This general definition admits variants, some of which are described below.
(Note that subspaces are equivalent to regular subobjects in Top.)
Paracompactness is weakly hereditary.
Normality is weakly hereditary.
Induced subgraphs are equivalent to regular subobjects in the quasitopos of simple graphs.)
Examples: The property of being a forest? is hereditary.
The property of being acyclic is hereditary.
The property of being planar is hereditary.
In algebra The following examples are well-known.
In the category of modules over any commutative ring, being torsionfree is hereditary.
In algebraic geometry/arithmetic geometry this is essentially the absolute Galois group
This terminology is used by Borceux and Janeldize in their book on Galois Theories.
Those higher presheaves that satisfy descent are called infinity-stacks.
This condition is essentially the descent conditon.
This in turn is usually equivalently written A(X)→≃Desc(Y •→X,A):=lim ΔA(Y •).
(This is exercise 16.6 in Categories and Sheaves).
In that notation the above finally becomes A(X)→≃limA(Y •).
For more references and background on the following see descent for simplicial presheaves.
We now describe central results of that article.
These are called split hypercovers.
The following theorem asserts if and when they are actually equivalent.
See also pseudo-extranatural transformation.
In some context the descent condion may algebraically be encoded in an adjunction.
This leads to the notion of monadic descent.
See there for more details.
Modern proofs rely on the Robinson consistency theorem or the Craig interpolation theorem.
Various classical theorems of differential topology are secretly theorems about twisted cohomotopy
The May-Segal theorem has a twisted generalization:
all k-morphisms for k>r are reversible.
As explained below, we may assume that n≥−2 and 0≤r≤max(0,n+1).
But this may be overkill.)
Thus, we assume that r≥0.
Recall that an (∞,0)-category is an ∞-groupoid.
An (n,r)-category is an r-directed homotopy n-type.
An (n,n)-category is simply an n-category.
An (n,0)-category is an n-groupoid.
Even though they have no special name, (n,1)-categories are widely studied.
For low values of n, many of these notions coincide.
This we discuss below in Coordinatized as solutions to cubic equations
Otherwise the height equals 1 and the elliptic curve is called ordinary.
Elliptic curves are examples of solutions to Diophantine equations of degree 3.
This is called the Weierstrass equation.
The non-singular such solutions are the elliptic curves over R.
Non-singularity is embodied in coordinates as follows.
Here Δ is called the discriminant.
The following is a definition if one takes the coordinate-description as fundamental.
This is useful for describing the moduli stack of elliptic curves over the complex numbers.
Over the p-adic numbers, see (Winter 11).
Level-n structures on elliptic curves may also be defined over general rings.

These are monoids in a monoidal category whose multiplicative operation is commutative.
Classical commutative monoids are of course just commutative monoids in Set with the cartesian product.
With the evident braiding this is a symmetric monoidal category.
A commutative monoid in (Ab,⊗ ℤ,ℤ) is equivalently a commutative ring.
The corresponding commutative monoid objects are the differential graded-commutative algebras.
The corresponding commutative monoid objects are the differential graded-commutative superalgebras.
Yet there were no good texts from which one could learn group theory.
It was a frustrating experience, worthy of the name of a pest.

These local endomorphism are physically interpreted as local charges.
This is called the DHR category.
See DHR superselection theory and Haag-Kastler vacuum representation for the terminology used here.
Combining these two structures we get that Δ is a star-category.
Choose a double cone K 0∈𝒥 0 that contains K 1 and K 2.
We first define the “tensor product”: Definition
For endomorphisms we set ρ 1⊗ρ 2:=ρ 1ρ 2.
Lemma The tensor product as defined above turns Δ into a monoidal category.
To define the braiding we will need the following concepts:
These endomorphisms ρ 0,σ 0 are then called spectator endomorphisms of ρ and σ.
Such unitaries are called transporters.
Obviously both spectator endomorphisms and transporters are not unique, in general.
The permutators are well defined and independent of the choice of spectator endomorphisms and transporters.

These are often pictured in one of three ways:
(Physicists prefer [0,π].)
The endpoint joining E requires a reparameterization; define X+Y:[0,1]→M by X(2t)fort≤1/2 and Y(2t−1)for1/2≤t≤1.
The picture is symmetric with respect to cyclic permutations and is so interpreted.
(see also the work of Kaku [?]).
Let u=max{rsuch thatY(t)=X(r−t)for0≤t≤r}, then X⋆Y:[0,r+s−2u]→M by X(t)for0≤t≤r−u and Y(t−r+2u)forr−u≤t≤r+s−2u.
This is a wide weakening of the concept of equality.
For example, every equivalence relation is a tolerance relation.
This is a coherence law.

This is spelled out at closed monoidal structure on presheaves.
Proposition PSh(𝒞) is a topos.
The category of presheaves PSh(𝒞) is the free cocompletion of 𝒞.

The following Giraud like theorem stems from Marta Bunge's dissertation (1966)

Then there is an equivalence of categories PSh(∫ CP)≃PSh(C)/P.
The inverse takes f:Q→P to i −1(f)(A,p∈P(A))=f A −1(p).
In particular, this equivalence shows that slices of presheaf toposes are presheaf toposes.
Then the Artin gluing (Set D op↓T) is also a presheaf topos.
For details, see for example Appendix C.3 of Leinster.
The result is due to Carboni and Johnstone.
Hence, one has the following Proposition Let C a finite category.

So “unramified” means “not branching”.
In the context of differential geometry unramified maps correspond to immersions.
A weaker (infinitesimal) version is the notion of formally unramified morphism.
The notion of unramified morphism is stable under base change and composition.
Every open immersion of schemes is formally etale hence a fortiori formally unramified.
The notion of limit and colimit generalize from category theory to (∞,1)-category theory.
One model for (∞,1)-categories are quasi-categories.

See HTT, prop 4.2.1.5.
The right functor is an equivalence by prop. .
This appears for instance in (Lurie, proof of prop. 1.2.13.8).
But first consider the following pointwise characterization.
This is HTT, lemma 4.2.4.3.
The morphism ϕ″ is a left fibration (using HTT, prop. 4.2.1.6)
One finds that the morphism ϕ″ is a left fibration.
This is HTT, prop. 4.4.3.2.
That this is indeed the case is asserted by the following statements.
This is HTT, theorem 4.2.4.1
Let X and Y be simplicial sets and C a quasi-category.
Let p:X ◃×Y ◃→C be a diagram.

An ordinary category with limits is canonically cotensored over Set:
The following proposition should assert that this is all true

See HTT, section 4.4.4.
We discuss models for (∞,1)-(co)limits in terms of ordinary category theory and homotopy theory.
The claim then follows from the above proposition.
Let ∞Grpd be the (∞,1)-category of ∞-groupoids.

The statement for the colimit is corollary 3.3.4.6 in HTT.
The statement for the limit is corollary 3.3.3.4.
See at internal (co-)limit – Groupoidal homotopy (co-)limits for more on this.
This is HTT, corollary 3.3.4.3.
See limits and colimits by example.
The analogous statement is true for an (∞,1)-category of (∞,1)-functors.
Let D be a small quasi-category.
Proof This is HTT, corollary 5.1.2.3
If their image is a closed subspace they are called closed cofibrations.
But “closed cofibration” always refers to closed Hurewicz cofibrations.
Every Hurewicz cofibration i:A→X is injective and a homeomorphism onto its image.
If X is Hausdorff, then i is closed.
The same holds in the category of all Hausdorff spaces.
But in the plain category Top of all topological spaces there are pathological counterexamples:
Then i is a non-closed cofibration.
Proposition (fiber product of Hurewicz fibrations preserves Hurewicz cofibrations)
Corollary (Cartesian product preserves Hurewicz cofibrations)
It is immediate to see that this data satisfies the conditions discussed in Prop. .
Then i is a Hurewicz cofibration iff A is itself an ANR.
But paracompact Banach manifolds are absolute neighbourhood retracts (this Prop.)
Therefore the statement follows with Prop. .
See (Ahman-Uustalu 2017, Section 6) and (Clarke 2020).
Every function A→B yields a delta lens disc(A)→disc(B) between discrete categories.
Dually, a split Grothendieck fibration A→B is a delta lens A op→B op.

Knot invariants are locally constant functions on this manifold.
One does not need the language of cubical complexes to define Vassiliev invariants.
Vassiliev invariants are also called finite type invariants.
Likewise, any Vassiliev invariant of degree 1 must be constant on nonsingular knots.
Conversely, one can ask which functions on chord diagrams come from finite type invariants.
Computation rules in particular are important, because they are used in inductive definitions.
Moreover, conversion rules use equality.

This stronger version further enhances to a simplicial Quillen equivalence below.
Together this implies that their composite (5) is a right Quillen functor.
We reuse the notation of the previous section.
Proof Both model categories are left proper and combinatorial.
Therefore we can take left Bousfield localizations with respect to arbitrary sets of morphisms.
Thus, we have an induced Quillen adjunction between localized model categories.
It remains to show that this Quillen adjunction is a Quillen equivalence.
It suffices to show that the right adjoint reflects weak equivalences between fibrant objects.
Local weak equivalences between locally fibrant objects coincide with objectwise weak equivalences.

For the nonce, let us call such a prefactorization system favorable.
Then (E,M) is a favorable prefactorization system.

(Power preservation is here equivalent to product preservation.)
For 0-ary or nullary operations, we have T(0,1)={0}.
Some, but not all, the above discussion generalizes to this case.
An infinitary Lawvere theory allows for infinitary operations.
A Fermat theory is a Lawvere theory equipped with a notion of differentiation.
This yields the notion of cartesian multicategory.
The tautological example of a Lawvere theory is the algebraic theory of no operations.
This is also called the theory of equality.
This is the opposite category of the category FinSet 𝒮≃FinSet op.
This is the initial object in the category of Lawvere theories.
An algebra over this theory is just a bare set: 𝒮Alg≃Set.
For T any Lawvere theory, there is a canonical morphism 𝒮→T.
On categories of algebras this induces the functor U T:TAlg→𝒮Alg≃Set.
This sends each algebra to its underlying set .
For more on this see the section Free T-algebras below.
We consider here the theory of groups (defined however you like).
The generic object x of T Grp is taken to be F(1).
Thus any group gives a model of T Grp.
The other direction is more interesting.
To understand this, let’s consider how group multiplication would be defined.
The group identity and group inversion on G are defined by following similar recipes.
The category of say distributive lattices is the category of algebras of a Lawvere theory.
So is the category of Heyting algebras.
This is also a Fermat theory.
Thus, this theory is a terminal category.
Algebras of the terminal Lawvere theory are terminal sets, singletons.
The class of fields is not the class of algebras of a Lawvere theory.
Neither is the class of integral domains.
Write ⟨R⟩⊂A(1)×A(1) for this smallest congruence.
The functor U T has a left adjoint F T:Set→TAlg.
As discussed below, these filtered colimits of T-algebras are computed objectwise.
This one checks is f *A.
For T a Lawvere theory, the category TAlg has all small limits and colimits.
The limits and the filtered colimits in TAlg are computed pointwise.
Distributive laws for algebraic theories are discussed in

Relations between gauge fields and strings present an old, fascinating and unanswered question.
The full answer to this question is of great importance for theoretical physics.
Moreover, in the SU(N) gauge theory the strings interaction is weak at large N.
The challenge is to build a precise theory on the string side of this duality.
This is, however, very different from the picture of strings as flux lines.
Interestingly, even now people often don’t distinguish between these approaches.
However there are cases in which t’Hooft’s mechanism is really working.

What makes this interval ‘generic’ is the following result:

Usually X is at least a rig and often a ring or a field.
An algebraic fibrant object is a fibrant object equipped with a choice of such extensions.
Notably, AlgC is always a category of fibrant objects.
But often there are smaller subsets that still characterize all fibrant objects.
In particular, every object in AlgC is fibrant.
The Quillen adjunction (F⊣U) is a Quillen equivalence.
This is (Nikolaus, theorem 2.20) Remark
Thus almost any model category is equivalent to one in which all objects are fibrant.
We spell out the constructions and lemmas that yield the theorem on the model structure.
We describe explicitly the left adjoint F:C→AlgC to the forgetful functor U:AlgC→C.
This follows Richard Garner‘s improved version of the small object argument (Garner).
For X∈C define a new object X ∞ inductively as follows.
However, after adding the new fillers there may also appear new horns.
So we continue this procedure iteratively by filling these new horns.
Proceeding this way yields a sequence of acyclic cofibrations X→X 1→X 2→X 3→⋯.
Therefore there is a unique morphusm ϕ ∞ as indicated.
The morphisms F(j):FA j→FB j have retracts.
Take r˜ to be the (unique) filler for this morphism.
The functor U:AlgC→C is monadic.
This is (Nikolaus, prop. 24) Proof
We check now that this choice indeed makes Q the coequalizer in AlgC.
First of all we need to check that π preserves the chosen fillers.
Since π coequalizes, it follows that πk^=πr^.
So it is sufficient to observe that ϕ Q preserves chosen fillers.
Proposition The forgetful functor U:AlgC→C is a solid functor.
This is (Nikolaus, prop. 2.6).
Therefore we shall iteratively form colimits that equate these potentially different fillers.
But it may not yet be itself algebraically fibrant.
So we conclude by essentially applying the construction of the left adjoint F.
One checks that this has the claimed properties (…).
As before, the inclusion X 0 f→X ∞ f is an acyclic cofibration.
The universal cone morphism B j→lim ←UK provides then a distinguished filler for the limit.
Now consider filtered colimits.
By assumption the domains A j are small objects.
This provides a filler B j→K i→L.
This makes L an object in AlgC.
By the same argument one finds that it is the universal cocone under K in AlgC.
This is (Nikolaus, prop 2.14).
By adjunction (F⊣U) this corresponds to an adjunct g˜ 2:FB→Z.
This establishes the pushout property of (B∐ AUY) ∞ f.
Hence so is the composite of the two.
This appears as (Nikolaus, def. 2.15).
We spell out the argument, following (Nikolaus).
The first item is true by the above discussion of filtered colimits in AlgC.
The functor U preserves acyclic cofibrations.
Theorem The Quillen adjunction (F⊣U):AlgC→U←FC is a Quillen equivalence.
Hence by 2-out-of-3 also X→FX is a weak equivalence.
Proposition If C is a locally presentable category then so is AlgC.
If C is a combinatorial model category then so is AlgC.
This means precisely that all possible composites and all possible inverses are chosen.
Daniel Waldram is professor for theoretical physics at Imperial College London.
An interesting counterexample is given for instance by Dugger & Shipley (2009).
Here are further characterizations:
But p R(c) is a weak equivalence by definition of cofibrant replacement.
And every equivalence between these is presented by a Zig-Zag of Quillen equivalences.

A (total) function is precisely a relation that is both functional and entire.
Such a relation is entire iff the inclusion map ι r is a surjection.
This holds precisely because a function is an entire relation.
On the other hand, suppose r:X→Y is a left adjoint.
Suppose r(x,y).
Thus s(y′,x) and r(x,y); from sr≤1 Y we infer y′=y.
We conclude at most one y satisfies r(x,y), making r functional.
So the monad t is an equivalence relation.
These are instead described by the AdS/CFT correspondence in condensed matter physics.
In other words, a universal cone over the empty diagram is a terminal object.
I don't see the point of the last paragraph before this query box.

In this section we assume that the universe is a Tarski universe.
For noncommutative rings however sometimes spectra of primitive ideal?s are more interesting.
(Note the similarity with the strict notion of equivalence of categories.)
Being homotopy equivalent is evidently an equivalence relation.
For many purposes, one wants instead weak homotopy equivalences.
The homotopy category of Top with respect to homotopy equivalences is Ho(Top) he.
Any homotopy equivalence is also a weak homotopy equivalence.
This is the Whitehead theorem.
Sometimes an apparently stronger form of homotopy equivalence is needed.
Let us set this up slightly differently:
In the usual definition of homotopy equivalence, there is no coherence required between these.
That is handled precisely by the notion of strong homotopy equivalence.
The definition clearly can be generalised to any reasonable setting with a notion of homotopy.
The question naturally arises as to whether all homotopy equivalences are strong.
Various versions of this are known in other settings, e.g. SSet-enriched categories.
There is no condition of compatibilty between the two ‘homotopies between the homotopies’.
Every second countable locally compact Hausdorff space is a Polish space, among others.
Polish spaces provide a useful framework for doing measure theory.
Why are Polish spaces ‘not very big’?
In other words, why are there none with cardinality exceeding the continuum?
More sharply, see Lemma below.
See also Theorem below.
The metric topology on X coincides with the product topology.
In particular, the Hilbert cube [0,1] ℕ is Polish.
See Marker, Theorem 1.33.
Proposition Any Polish space is homeomorphic to a subspace of the Hilbert cube.
admits a continuous surjection from Baire space.
One may check that f is continuous and surjective.
Let C⊆X be a closed subset of a Polish space X.
This ordinal is called the Cantor-Bendixson rank of C.
A perfect set is a closed set C such that C=C′.
In particular, the cardinality of P is the continuum c.
The complement C∖C α is at most countable.
In particular, any two denumerable Polish spaces are Borel isomorphic.
The unit interval [0,1] and Cantor space 2 ℕ are Borel isomorphic.
Let E⊆2 ℕ be the set of (0,1)-sequences that are eventually constant.
Pick any bijection g:E→{dyadicrationals}.
Then the union of f and g defines a Borel isomorphism h:2 ℕ→[0,1].
We show that any such X is Borel isomorphic to Cantor space.
For another proof, see theorem 3.1.1 of Berberian.
The classical L p-spaces for p<∞ are Polish spaces.
If X is a separable complete metric space, then so is K(X).
A locally compact Hausdorff space is Polish iff it is second-countable.

fixed loci of smooth proper actions are submanifolds)
Then the G-fixed locus X G↪X is a smooth submanifold.
Smooth mapping spaces are very nice examples of infinite dimensional smooth manifolds.
This provides a route from finite dimensional differential topology to that of infinite dimensions.
An example of this is the concept of a tubular neighbourhood of an embedding.
We define the neighbourhood of ΩM to be those loops α∈LM such that α(1)∈U.
However, that just moves α(1).
We cannot assume that all of α lies in U.
Then we can define π(α)=Ψ∘α.
The trick is to choose Ψ so that it varies smoothly with α(1).
There are more complicated examples.
One such is the basic construction in string topology.
Thus local solutions are not applicable here.
One way to choose these diffeomorphisms is to use the notion of a propagating flow.
The basic idea is contained in the following definition.
Everything here is assumed to be finite dimensional.
But the diffeomorphisms used here are simple enough that they can be constructed directly.
Let us consider the linear situation first.
This is simple enough: ϕ 1(w)=w−v.
The problem with this is that we do not want just any diffeomorphism.
We want one that is the identity “near infinity”.
Let us start by fixing the diffeomorphism in the v-direction.
We are actually interested in the function t↦t+hσ(t) for |h|≤1.
On V, we choose a “dual functional” to v.
Then we define a diffeomorphism on V by: ϕ 2(w)=w+σ(f(w))v=(w−f(w)v)+(f(w)+σ(f(w)))v.
This fixes our diffeomorphism in the v-direction.
Then we mix this in to the above as follows: ϕ 3(w)=w+τ^(w−f(w)v)σ(f(w))v=(w−f(w)v)+(f(w)+τ^(w−f(w)v)σ(f(w))v.
As before, the second expression makes it clear that this is a diffeomorphism.
When τ^(w−f(w)v)=0 then it is the identity.
To simplify these, we assume that V admits a smooth inner product, g.
Let us write q for the square of the associated norm.
To make the final formula cleaner, we assume that τ(t)=1 for |t|≤2.
As written, this makes sense only for v≠0.
But it extends to the identity at v=0.
This, then, is our required linear diffeomorphism.
The next step is to extend this to a bundle over a manifold.
So let π:E→M be a smooth vector bundle over a smooth manifold.
We wish to extend the above formula so that it is valid for E.
So also we must take w to be an arbitrary point in E.
The solution is to extend one of them to a vector field.
Notice that X v(p)=0 if p is “sufficiently far” from π(v).

then ∫F is complete.
Dually, if C is cocomplete.
Explicitly, colimits in ∫ 𝒳C 𝒳 are computed as follows:
This clearly makes α c a functor.
Hence we have shown that the above equivalence holds.
(These are in fact the opcartesian morphisms with respect to the projection ∫F→C.)
Compositions are those induced from the underlying functors and natural transformations.
There is refinement of the Grothendieck construction to model categories.
See at Grothendieck construction for model categories.
Notice that much of the traditional literature discusses (just) the right adjoint.
This functor may equivalently be expressed as follows.
This also facilitates the generalization of the argument from 1-categories to higher categories.
This is just as in the comma category c/p.
This is due to (Thomason 79).
For more details see (∞,1)-Grothendieck construction Normal lax functors into Prof
The Grothendieck construction can be generalized from pseudofunctors into Cat to normal lax functors into Prof.
Instead of fibrations over C, such normal lax functors correspond to arbitrary functors into C.
See displayed category for more.
This constructs an Abelian group from the semi-group of isomorphism classes.
The corresponding fibrations C/X→C are also called representable fibered categories.

One can think of (H1) as being able to “glue”.
One can think of (H2) as gluing being unique over infinitesimal neighborhoods.
(H3) is having a finite dimensional tangent space
Here we make precise what was meant in the motivation section.
This F can be seen to be a deformation functor.
Let Def X be the predeformation functor parametrizing flat deformations of X.
Def X is prorepresentable if and only if every automorphism extends over a small thickening.
Consider the node X=Speck[[x,y]]/(xy).
Note that this functor is not prorepresentable.
Several more can be added.
I haven’t come up with a nice succinct way to do this yet.

This article is about generalized Lawvere theories.
The free algebra on one generator becomes the generic object.
The exponent n serves to keep track of arities of operations.
Lawvere’s program can be extended to cover many theories with infinitary operations as well.
These examples go outside the bounded (small theory) case.
An example is the theory of complete Boolean algebras.
Lawvere theories can also be generalized to handle multi-sorted operations.
For the moment we discuss the single-sorted case.
The many-sorted case should be a straightforward extension.
Algebraic theories can be extended or specialized in various directions.
Here are a few variations on the theme.
Essentially algebraic theories allow for partially-defined operations.
Let S be a set whose elements are called sorts.
Clearly, (Set/S) op has small products.
A homomorphism of models is simply a natural transformation between product-preserving functors.
These form an important subclass.
(Under this relation ordinary finitary Lawvere theories correspond to finitary monads.)
Then the Lawvere theory of the monad of C is equivalent to C.
This functor is an equivalence.
It is convenient to proceed as follows.
Let f:X→Y be a morphism of Prod(Kl(T) op,Set).
Thus A is an equivalence, with essential inverse M. Metaphor

But later Jordan algebras have been studied largely for their own sake.

Subspaces of separable spaces need not be separable.
However, open subspaces of separable spaces are separable.

Before describing proof nets, we start with Girard’s notion of proof structure.
We need just a few preliminaries.
(Negation may be defined by ¬A≔A⊸⊥, and the multiplicative disjunction by A⅋B≔¬A⊸B.
To get formulas in MILL, simply drop ⊥.)
The construction of a formula may be displayed as a binary planar tree.

MLL formulas A and proof structures of type A→B form a category Struct[T].
In fact this category of proof structures is a *-autonomous category.
Observe that the objects of F[T] may be identified with MLL formulas.
The rules for forming KM-graphs will sound pretty repetitive!
But don’t worry; that just means they’re really easy.
There are four of these.
We give this criterion below.
The proof of existence is by a tricky combinatorial analysis on graphs.
This leaves the two unit rules 1 −, ⊥ +.
The Danos-Regnier criterion for validity goes through without modification:
(I’ll come back to this.
I want to think some more on how I want to say it.)
The category Top of topological spaces lacks many good categorical properties.
It is a coreflective subcategory of a reflective subcategory of Top.
Homotopy theorists often find the category of simplicial sets to be an especially nice environment.

Relations between gauge fields and strings present an old, fascinating and unanswered question.
The full answer to this question is of great importance for theoretical physics.
Moreover, in the SU(N) gauge theory the strings interaction is weak at large N.
The challenge is to build a precise theory on the string side of this duality.
This is, however, very different from the picture of strings as flux lines.
Interestingly, even now people often don’t distinguish between these approaches.
However there are cases in which t’Hooft’s mechanism is really working.
These are equations of central interest in number theory.
Due to this subtlety, it is instructive to make explicit the following definition:

Here is another proof of Prop. : Proof
A nonempty intersection of finitely many such geodesically convex neighborhoods is also geodesically convex.
By definition of geodesic convexity the exponential map is injective, hence a diffeomorphism.
The same holds true for full subcategories such as CartSp– Cartesian spaces.
It is sufficient to check this in ParaSmMfd.
Hopefully someone can find a clear reference to a proof.
It is also evidently a split hypercover.
This implies the statement by the characterization of cofibrant objects in the projective structure.
This has a useful application in the nerve theorem.

The following conditions on a category C are equivalent.
When they are satisfied, we say that C is adhesive.
In other words, pushouts of monomorphisms are van Kampen colimits.
In an adhesive category, however, they are: Proposition
Then: n is also a monomorphism.
The square is also a pullback square.
The following proposition is crucial in double pushout graph rewriting.
We give only a sketch; details are in (LS, Lemma 4.5).
Denote the vertex of the latter pullback square by U.
Example Any topos is adhesive (Lack-Sobocisnki).
For elementary toposes it is a theorem of Lack and Sobocinski.

We may think of the action groupoid as a resolution of the usual quotient.
The action groupoid also goes by other names, including ‘weak quotient’.
It is a special case of a ‘pseudo colimit’, as explained below.
It is also called a “semidirect product” and then written S⋊G.
So, a general morphism is a pair (g,s):s→gs.
The colimit colimX× G 0 × • is called action ∞-groupoid of G on X.
This functor sends the single object of BG to the set S.
We can think of this as the “universal Set-bundle”.
The action groupoids X//G of a group G come equipped with a canonical map to BG≃*//G.
Let G be an ∞-group in that BG is an ∞-groupoid with a single object.
This takes the single object of BG to some (∞,1)-category V.

It is a profinite space.
This is an infinite ‘thorn bush’.
The category Proper has a cylinder functor.
We call the corresponding notion of homotopy, ‘proper homotopy’.
This leads to the notion of a ‘germ at ∞’.
Note that a cofinal inclusion is proper and induces an isomorphism ε(A)≅ε(X).
This category is called the proper category at ∞.
We will try with the assumption of a space having a single end for simplicity!
We will also assume X is σ-compact.

This is a special and limiting case of the relativistic particle discussed below.
A cautionary note is in order.
The σ-model describing the relativistic particle is the following.
Its curvature exterior derivative F:=dA is the field strength of an electromagnetic field on X.
First regard the case that the background field strength vanishes, F=0.
Then the equations of motion reduce to ∇ γ˙γ˙=0.
These curves are precisely the geodesics of the background geometry.
This models motion under the force exerted by the field of gravity on our particle.
For these the equations of motions are again those of the free Newtonian particle a→=0.
This is called the action functional of the relativistic particle σ-model.
This usually yields a simpler and deeper description of the model.
Aspects of this are discussed below.
let configuration space be the weak quotient Conf Σ:=C ∞(Σ,X)//Diff(Σ).
Its 3-form curvature field strength is traditionally denoted H:=dB.
Hence the string behaves as if electric charge is spread out evenly along it.
(For more on this see string theory.)
Equivalently this is a U(1)-bundle gerbe with connection.
One can consider the string σ-model for worldsheets with boundary.
Such a background gauge field structure is called a string orientifold background.
This is a kind of higher structure that the relativistic particle alone cannot see.

The quantomorphism group is naturally an (infinite dimensional) Lie group.
Its Lie algebra is the Poisson bracket Lie algebra.
Such autoequivalences in slices are familiar from basic concepts of Lie groupoid theory.

Let H be an (∞,1)-topos.
Let G∈Grp(H) be a group object in H, an ∞-group.

To this end we need the following two definitions
For an example see at The quantomorphism n-group below.
Let H be an (∞,1)-topos which is cohesive.
We first show how the general notion of higher Atiyah groupoid reproduces various traditonal structures.
This is precisely the smooth manifold of morphisms of the traditional Atiyah Lie groupoid.
We discuss here how this is the Lie differentiation of the corresponding higher Atiyah groupoid.
This is a direct consequence of the discussion at circle n-bundle with connection.
The morphisms are accordingly the suitable natural transformations of these diagrams.
With this identification the main result there is the above claim.

These are therefore also called vacuum fluctuations.
We start by constructing the free category with small products generated by a set S.
This can also be regarded as a Yoneda embedding under the equivalence Set/S≃Set S.
Therefore the following theorem comes as no surprise.
Let C be a category with small products.
In particular, it preserves all limits, not just products.
Let C be a small category.
The proof of the universal property of Coprod(C) as coproduct cocompletion is then obvious.
First, we have a Yoneda mapping C 0→Set C op:c↦hom(−,c)
By the preceding theorem, this functor has a right adjoint.
The reflection takes an object f:X→Y to the pair (Im(f),Y).
In particular, Subset is complete and cocomplete and cartesian closed.
As are exponentials, since Subset is actually an exponential ideal in Set 2 op.
Categories enriched in Subset are also called M-categories.
The hom-sets are clearly small.
We denote this free category with products as Term(S,F).
Composition is effected by term substitution.
This trick effectively eliminates the need for rules of α-conversion.
To begin, recall the following abstract definition:
:MM→M is the multiplication on the monad M.
A monad on S in the bicategory M-Span is a multicategory over S.
We are especially interested in the free multicategory generated from a multigraph over S.
The free multicategory construction has other names and descriptions.
Notice that F-labeled trees have obvious string diagram representations.
Next, any multicategory generates a (strict monoidal) category.
The objects of Pro(S,F) are elements of S *.
The same trick works for other doctrines over the doctrine of monoidal categories.
Therefore Pro(S,F) is the free monoidal category generated by the multigraph F.
This gives a morphism between underlying spans, Term(S,F)→C.
(This equivalence is discussed in detail below.)
In particular, such pullbacks preserve all colimits.
This pullback now manifestly computes 𝒞 /X(f *⟨F→Y⟩,⟨E→pX⟩).
Let ϕ:A→X be any morphism.
This proves that X×−:C→C/x preserves exponentials.
By Giraud's theorem, in a sheaf topos pullbacks preserve colimits.
By prop. this yields the local cartesian closure.
More generally, every quasitopos is locally cartesian closed.

This entry contains a basic introduction to derived group schemes and their orientations.
This requires derived algebraic geometry.
We would like extend this definition to the world of derived schemes.
Because of the higher categorical nature of derived schemes Hom sets are spaces.
Everything should in the ∞-setting, that is defined only up to homotopy.
The following definition is somewhat restrictive and really should incorporate more of the ∞-structure.
Let X be a scheme, then we have an associated derived scheme X¯.
Hence we are led to the following definition.
Let X be a derived scheme and G a commutative derived group scheme over X.
A preorientation of G is a morphism of topological commutative monoids ℙ(ℂ[α])=ℂP ∞→G(X).
Notice that ℂP ∞ is nearly freely generated.
We would like to encode this in our derived language (without defining s′).
Note that (2) implies that A is weakly periodic.
We now define the module ω and the map β.
Let Ω denote the sheaf of differentials on G 0/π 0A.
Then SpecR[M] is a group scheme over SpecA.
Motivated by these observations we make the following definitions.
Let A be an E ∞-ring.
We define the multiplicative group corresponding to A as G m=SpecA[ℤ].
G m is a derived commutative group scheme over SpecA.
Note that π *(A[ℤ])=(π *A)[ℤ].
Also, the map π 0G m→π 0SpecA is smooth of relative dimension 1.
Corollary SpecS[ℂP ∞] is the moduli space of preorientations of G m.
Let β denote the (universal) orientation of S[ℂP ∞].
Then we have the following.
Theorem SpecS[ℂP ∞][β −1] is the moduli space of orientations of G m.
Let A be an E ∞-ring, so in particular A defines a cohomology theory.
Also, A 1 is not commutative.
A 1(A) is an infinite loop space, but not an Abelian monoid.
Again A 1 is a derived group scheme when restricted to rational E ∞-rings.
Note that in this category Hℤ is initial.
Why can’t we just use SpecA[ℕ]?
Consequently, SpecHℤ[ℂP ∞] is the moduli space of preorientations of G a.
Proposition SpecHℤ[ℂP ∞][β −1] is the moduli space of orientations of G a.
Hence the Chern character yields an isomorphism with rational periodic cohomology.
The quotient of that by the binary icosahedral group is the Poincaré homology sphere.

Many, perhaps most, presentations of (∞,1)-categories are model categories.
In fact, every morphism is weakly equivalent to a fibration and to a cofibration.
Dually we have acyclic or trivial cofibrations.
All morphisms are both fibrations and cofibrations.
The (∞,1)-category presented is again the 1-category Set.
The acyclic fibrations are the equivalences of categories which are literally surjective on objects.
Every object is both fibrant and cofibrant.
The (∞,1)-category presented is the 2-category Cat.
This is often called the folk model structure.
The (∞,1)-category presented is the (weak) 3-category 2Cat.

The question is as to whether these have any relation to each other.

This generates a filtered family of finitely generated free modules with compatible morphisms to M.
So there is a morphism from the colimit of this family to M.
This morphism is surjective by construction.

– An identification identifies itself with a self-identification.
Cubical identity types essentially turns this equality itself into a typal equality.
Similarly, higher observational type theory has its appropriate version of higher identity types.
Martin-Löf identity types come in both strict and weak flavours.
We will discuss both formulations.
To a category theorist, it might be more natural to call this 1 X.
This can be made precise with the identity type weak factorization system?.
Finally, we have the “computation” or β-reduction? rule.
This says that if we substitute along a reflexivity proof, nothing happens.
See, for instance, Overture.v
This η-conversion rule has some very strong consequences.
(This was observed already in (Streicher).)
However, it does not have global elimination or computation rules.
Instead, it has a local computation rule for each particular type.
We are working in a dependent type theory with Tarski-style universes.
Thus, ap is a higher dimensional explicit substitution.
The primary identity types are the nondependent cubical path types in cubical type theory.
See cubical path type for more information on the construction of the cubical path types.
There are four obstacles in the way of such a construction.
However, every construction in type theory is stable under substitution.
This imposes an additional coherence requirement which is tricky to obtain categorically.
See categorical model of dependent types.

Takeuchi product is used in the theory of associative bialgebroids over noncommutative base.
This article documents the differences between versions zero and one of CompLF.
Note that there’s a substitution baked into the Π codomain rule.
This is because substitution is still an admissible rule.
Not baking in a substitution here would probably mess that up.
In v1, it’s actually revealing additional facts about the interpretation of the judgments.
no longer requires the new type to be proven valid as an extra premise.
Prove symmetry in the usual way, and combine with select left.
(Maybe it was already redundant before, who knows?)
In v1, this premise is removed.
Similarly, the PER elimination rule had the motive validity premise removed.
Yet another, the Bool elimination rule had the motive validity premise removed.
Luckily, a family over the booleans only has two substitution instances, semantically.
But this seems to require identity, a different v1 addition.)
Another important change is the new equality formation rule.
Here is the v0 rule: Γ⊢p⊩A≺CΓ⊢q⊩B≺CΓ⊢a⊩AΓ⊢b⊩BΓ⊢a=b∈Ctype
Here is the v1 rule: Γ⊢a1⊩Relax(A)Γ⊢a2⊩Relax(A)Γ⊢a1=a2∈Atype
But that is not the main improvement.
One could just make respect into a primitive type constructor to avoid the circularity.
With relaxed equality, the inversion rules are rather obvious.
This is a corollary of that subtyping characterization of Relax.
There’s another way to think about Relax.
Every type is a subquotient of Comp.
So what happens if you decompose some arbitrary type A in these ways?
It’s (Comp∩A), the type of computations that are also elements of A.
It turns out that the other decomposition is not unique.
(Except Nuprl calls it Base instead of Comp.)
And that type is the least quotient of Comp of which A is a subset!
The additional element can be regarded as an undefined element.
But for elements of Relax(A), it’s strict in both senses.
But that means they’re elements of Relax(A), because Relax is idempotent.
All of this is provable internally, using the rules for Relax and equality.
(In general, this shortcut does not avoid congruence rules for binding forms.)
Plus it’s not reflexive, symmetric, or transitive.
Let’s call that (↔ β).
It turns out to be the same as (≡ β).
What we seem to be missing is most of the congruence rules.
So we effectively have all the congruence rules.
In v0, quotienting was almost completely broken.
In v1, letcomp is what makes it work.
But it’s not perfect.
Rules that involve metavariables without an associated typing premise tend to cause trouble.
Alas, it seems very difficult to do much about that.
So the ability to derive type constructors and their rules seems quite substantial already.
There was actually an early version of letcomp for v0.
CompLF v1 adds a type Nat of Scott-encoded natural numbers.
The Scott nats themselves are not new, of course.
The motive premise cannot be avoided in the Nat elimination rule.
But another reason has to do with technical details of PER semantics.
Nuprl’s version of induction actually does avoid the motive premise.
(Nuprl’s logic is much stronger than Peano arithmetic, by the way.)
But CompLF must pursue alternatives.
(TODO: Explain!)
Identity types provide another kind of equality type that also provides subsumptive rewriting.
Only when dealing with computations is it safe to assume identity.
But in that case, it coincides with equality.
In fact, identity is equality of computations, in the semantics.
The different rules are due entirely to the difference in when the types are valid.
This is why identity has no inversion rules.
Meanwhile, (t=t∈Comp) is not true or even meaningful unless t∈Comp.
That’s exactly what it is, semantically.
Nuprl has additional features that facilitate internal reasoning about computational equivalence.
But in v1, identity seems scarcely different from beta conversion in practice.
(So the change doesn’t help or hurt.)
So now reflexivity is derived from uniqueness and select left.
There’s been some reordering of rules, premises, and renaming of metavariables.
Therefore, any subcategory is contained in a smallest replete subcategory, called its repletion.
In particular, in this case, the repletion is equivalent to D.
Thus the inclusion D↪repl(D) is full.
It is clearly faithful and essentially surjective, so it is an equivalence.
The replete image of a functor is the repletion of its image.
Then replete subcategories of 1-categories are those which are replete in this sense.

Epsilontic analysis developed out of the practical problems of finding errors of approximation.
Augustin Cauchy is often credited with promoting this approach, in his 1821 Cours d'Analyse.

It is difficult to make this distinction without the ϵ.

Let V be a vector space over the field of real numbers.
(One can generalise the choice of field somewhat.)
It follows from the above that ‖v‖≥0; in particular, ‖0‖=0.
A norm is a pseudonorm that satisfies a converse to this: v=0 if ‖v‖=0.
Then a Banach space is simply a vector space equipped with a complete norm.
(In other words, it is only a G-pseudonorm.)
Thus pseudonorms correspond precisely to homogeneous translation-invariant pseudometrics.
In this case, we say that f is bounded.
There are many (nonequivalent) ways to do so.
In this case one can accept all bounded linear maps between Banach spaces as morphisms.
Analysts sometimes refer to this as the “isomorphic category”.
Another natural notion of isomorphism is a surjective linear isometry.
This is really here to remind myself how to make query boxes.
I’ve expanded this section in part to be consistent with analysts’ terminology.
I’ve made some assumptions about category theorists’ conventions which might not be correct.

Many examples of Banach spaces are parametrised by an exponent 1≤p≤∞.

Often it is useful to consider just the maximal (∞,1)-category inside (∞,n)Cat.
This is what is presented by various model category structures on models for (∞,n)-categories.
The automorphism ∞-group of (∞,n)Cat is equivalent to (ℤ 2) n.
This is due to (Barwick & Schommer-Pries).

The simplex category Δ encodes one of the main geometric shapes for higher structures.
Its objects are the standard cellular n-simplices.
It is also called the simplicial category, but that term is ambiguous.
The category Δ a contains one more object, corresponding to the empty category ∅.
This is called the ordinal sum functor.

Also note that this monoidal structure is not braided!
Under Day convolution this monoidal structure induces the join of simplicial sets.
The morphisms 0→δ 01←σ 02 in Δ a make 1 into a monoid object.
while taking m=2 gives the triangular numbers (OEIS sequence A000217)
Let Δ ⊥⊆Δ be the wide subcategory spanned by the functors that preserve minima.
Observe Δ ⊥(1⊕−,m)≅Δ a(−,m).
This retraction expresses ι as a retract of the functor Δ a→1⊕−Δ ⊥⊆Δ a→ιΔ x.
Since the first map is an absolute limit, so is the composite.
The homotopy category hΔ x has a similar property.
Then the monomorphism 1⊕−:Δ a→hΔ x extends to an equivalence C→hΔ x.
Then 1⊕−:Δ a→Δ ⊥ extends to an equivalence C′→Δ ⊥.
Presheaves on Δ are simplicial sets.
Presheaves on Δ a are augmented simplicial sets.
The functor O:Δ→StrωCat sends [n] to the nth oriental.
This induces simplicial nerves of omega-categories.

thanks to Toby for the rephrasing, it’s much better now, yes
I have rolled back now, but that, too, involved some funny effects.
Am hoping to eventually expand and polish this entry.
However, whinging on this page is pretty pointless.
Treat it as a lab elf notice board.
There are various sub-departments, all with different roles and skills.)
And yes, we are all suffering from the slowness of the Lab.
To Jon Awbrey: I may have some solutions for you at the Sandbox.
Then Recently Revised will be able to return as well.

Discussed with Toby manifold objects at manifold.
Suggested an answer to my question at Bousfield localization.
But i managed to write something in nLab.
Neither is there a direct link to this page.
And is not recently revised?
That also means we’re not likely to work on further developing your articles.
The first thing I do when visiting the nLab is go to this page…
and I’m probably not the only one!
OK, this is a good reason.
But nLab is still too slow!
Is nobody using recently revised??
Edited Zoran's latest additions.
Replied to Zoran at topological vector space.
Defined non-Hausdorff locally convex spaces and proximity spaces.
(Maybe you know this, and just didn't bother to mention it.)
The future server will make that less necessary.
The error was not about the entry but the content.
When I cut and paste some paragraphs to a sandbox it did not work either.
What happens if you edit the page again?
added a section on classical topological version in deformation retract.
Corrected big chunk which Jon Awbrey has erased from latest changes by an editing error.
Added Pareigis classical reference to actegory.
I think 10 resubmits within the frame could be a better deafult than 3.

Thanks, Toby, that’s the plan.
I have created derivation on a group to provide some back up for Fox derivatives.

In particular a Morita morphism which is a homotopy equivalence is a Morita equivalence.
This may be regarded as the point particle limit of stringy weight systems.
The monad induced from an ambidextrous adjunction is Frobenius.
The converse is also true:
X is T 0 if and only if its specialisation order is a partial order.
X is T 1 iff its specialisation order is equality.
(See separation axioms.)
This topology is called the specialization topology.
Hence the category of prosets is equivalent to the category of Alexandroff spaces.
In type theory the empty type is the type with no term.
In set theory, it is an empty set.
The empty type can be represented as a univalent universe.
We inductively define the type family x:𝟘⊢El 𝟘(x)type by defining El 𝟘(*)≔𝟘
Thus, the univalence axiom is trivially true.

The octonionic Hopf fibration does not admit any S 1 subfibration?
It is also strongly connected, since finite products are also finite limits.

A top element ⊤ is one for wich a≤⊤.
An ordinal is the equivalence class of a well-order.
A limit ordinal is one that is not a successor.

The remaining exactness properties still permit a considerable amount of homological algebra.
𝒞 has kernels and cokernels.
every mono is a kernel and every epi is a cokernel.
every morphism has an epi-mono factorization.
Their homological algebra was studied by Mitchell (1965).
Grandis worked on further generalizations that he called semi-exact or homological.
An entire relation is sometimes called ‘total’, but these are unrelated concepts.
A total relation is necessarily reflexive.
For an irreflexive version, see connected relation.
(Of course, this containment is in fact an equality.)
(Here, Δ A is the equality relation on the set A.)
Totality is antithetical to asymmetry.
We let π:U∘Cof→1 Vect denote the counit of the adjunction U⊣Cof.
The law of a deterministic random variable is a Dirac measure.
We consider only simply sorted set theories, which all have membership relations.
Nor is having a heterogeneous membership relation sufficient for defining structural set theories.
However, there are multiple distinct proposed definitions of material and structural membership relations.
For n=1 this is a model structure on excisive functors.
There is no list of references given.

It turns out that it is useful to consider colimit preserving functors.
This is Lurie, def. 5.5.3.1.
More on that is at symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-category of presentable (∞,1)-categories.
We indicate stepts in the proof of prop. .
Let f:𝒞→𝒟 be an (∞,1)-functor which exhibits 𝒟 as an idempotent completion 𝒞.
Let κ be a regular cardinal.
This is (Lurie, lemma 5.5.1.3).
If R preserves κ-filtered (∞,1)-colimits then L preserves κ-compact objects.
This is Lurie, lemma 5.5.1.4.
This is HTT, prop. 5.5.3.10, prop. 5.5.3.11.
In particular the product of locally presentable (∞,1)-categories is again locally presentable.
This is HTT, prop. 5.5.2.2.
So consider first the case that C=PSh(D) is a presheaf category.
Then let F′:=Hom C(−,f):PSh(D) op→∞Grpd the functor represented by f.
But this is the case precisely by the statement of the full (∞,1)-Yoneda lemma.
Let L:PSh(D)→C be the left adjoint reflector.
By the above it is therefore represented by some object X∈PSh(D).
This is HTT, prop. 5.5.2.4.
(See also at Ho(CombModCat)).
This is Lurie, remark A.3.7.7.
The basic example is: Example ∞Grpd is locally presentable.
This is clearly compact, and hence generates ∞Grpd.
This is itself locally presentable

Introduction For x>0, let π(x) denote the number of primes p≤x
(in these notes, p is always used to denote prime numbers).
Introduce a function θ(x)=∑ p≤xlog(p).
The asymptotic statement θ(x)∼x implies the prime number theorem.
In one direction, we have an obvious inequality θ(x)=∑ p≤xlog(p)≤∑ p≤xlog(x)=π(x)log(x).
The first term on the right is bounded above by log(2)x.
The zeta function has no zeroes on the line Re(s)=1
is easily handled by the product formula (2).
Let ν be the order of the zero at 1±2it.
The asymptotic result θ(x)∼x will be established by appeal to the following result: Theorem
Suppose that the integral ∫ 1 ∞θ(x)−xx 2dx converges.
So all that remains is to prove Theorem .
For T≥0, put g T(s)=∫ 0 Te −stf(t)dt.
Clearly g T is an entire (i.e., everywhere holomorphic) function.
We are trying to show that limT→∞g T(0)=g(0).
Thus we instead use g T(0)−g(0)=12πi∫ C(g T(z)−g(z))e zT(1+z 2R 2)dzz
Suppose now that |f(t)| is globally bounded by B.
First let us bound 12πi∫ C −g T(z)e zT(1+z 2R 2)dzz.
Finally, we bound 12πi∫ C −g(z)e zT(1+z 2R 2)dzz.
The following classification is due to Rieffel 81.
This entry contains one chapter of the material at geometry of physics.
We discuss local (“extended”) topological prequantum field theory.
Here the pattern of the discussion of examples is the following:
The ambient topos Prequantum field theory deals with “spaces of physical fields”.
We here need this to mean the following
Every cohesive (∞,1)-topos is in particular globally and locally ∞-connected, by definition.
This we discuss in Corner field theory.
We write Span n(H) for the resulting (∞,n)-category of spans.
All this we now describe more formally.
Therefore it makes sense to speak of bulk field theory in this case.
In (LurieTFT) this is denoted by “Bord n fr”.
In itself this is a deep statement about the homotopy type of categories of cobordisms.
Every object in Span n(H) is a self-fully dualizable object.
The central definition in the present context now is the following.
For H= ∞Grpd this is the perspective in (FHLT, section 3).
We now discuss this notion of groupoids more formally.
This data is visualized as follows.
Here, for the time being, all groups are discrete groups.
(Here “♭” denotes the “flat modality”.)
Another canonical action is the action of G on itself by right multiplication.
This is known as the G-universal principal bundle.
See below in for more on this.
Below we generalize this to arbitrary homotopy types (def. ).
These correspondences of groupoids encode trajectories/histories of field configurations.
By prop. we have X×[Π 1(S 1),X]X≃[Π 1(S 1),X].
Along these lines one checks the required zig-zag identities.
This is described in def. below.
This is the original case in which derived functors were considered in homological algebra.
This entry discusses special aspects of this special situation.
One writes R kF:=H k∘RF.
The two aspects are deeply intertwined.

This is a special case of a notion of k-ary factorization system.
This is remarked on here.
We therefore call this class R 2L 1.
In both cases ⊆ is obvious.
Here L 2∩R 1 is the class of monic epics, sometimes called bimorphisms?.
The maps in R 2L 1 are sometimes called strict morphisms.

This “integration without integration” is discussed in more detail at Lie integration.
See (Gwilliam 13, lemma 2.2.2).
The crucial idea now is the following.

This is what the following definitions do.

In particular the Δ-cohomology is not an associative algebra.
For free field theories this yields Wick's lemma and Feynman diagrams for computing observables.
Multivector fields may be understood in terms of Hochschild cohomology of C.

As topological vector spaces are uniform spaces, it is appropriate to discuss completeness.
Where this gets interesting is in the question as to what should be there.
To determine this, one has to have some method of discovering holes.
In strict order of decreasing strength, we have the following notions of completeness.
Sequentially complete implies locally complete because every locally Cauchy sequence is a Cauchy sequence.
A direct and short proof was later given in (Rudin 68).
compact subspaces of Hausdorff spaces are closed
closed subspaces of compact Hausdorff spaces are equivalently compact subspaces
CW-complexes are paracompact Hausdorff spaces Hausdorff spaces are sober
Accordingly this statement came to be known as Stone’s theorem.
For ordinary cohomology H •(−,A) the abelian group A is the coefficient group.
In particular, every local category has initial objects.
All left primes form another spectrum, Spel(R).
Prime localizing subcategories form certain spectrum.
The cohomology of the stack is then indeed the equivariant cohomology of the original manifold.
Derived stacks on this site are studied in derived algebraic geometry.
There are various slight variations of this.
This cannot happen for ∞-stacks over 1-categorical site.
A notable example of this is the case where C= CRing and U=SpecR.
But there must be a better reference, somewhere.

See there for more details.
This breaks the equivalence invariance.
(However, see below.)
The ideas here generalize in many directions.
Draw an analogy with vector spaces (maybe just finite-dimensional ones?).
We can make this precise by comparing the groupoids Vect ∼ and Vect b. …
But structurally, this definition is meaningless.
Accordingly, it makes sense to compare them for equality.
However, these are not commonly used foundations.
This seems to encapsulate Makkai’s motivation alluded to above.
(Note that everything is an object of some ∞-groupoid.
This pertains to the mathematical foundations of category theory.
But of course, this is more complicated!
The traditional definition goes as follows:
This definition involves equality of sets, which violates the principle of equality.
This stemmed from the fact that category theorists were using functors to define the dagger.
A discussion about this is archived on the nForum.
In an ∞-category, every claim of equality break equivalence-invariance.

Properties second-countable: there is a countable base of the topology.
metrisable: the topology is induced by a metric.
separable: there is a countable dense subset.
Lindelöf: every open cover has a countable sub-cover.
metacompact: every open cover has a point-finite open refinement.
first-countable: every point has a countable neighborhood base
second-countable spaces are Lindelöf.
weakly Lindelöf spaces with countably locally finite base are second countable.
separable metacompact spaces are Lindelöf.
Lindelöf spaces are trivially also weakly Lindelöf.
a first-countable space is obviously Fréchet-Urysohn.
a Fréchet-Uryson space is obviously sequential.
a sequential space is obviously countably tight.
paracompact spaces satisfying the countable chain condition are Lindelöf.
As such it is the translation Lie algebra of V.

This is discussed at spectral sequence of a filtered stable homotopy type.
For motivation see the example Spectral sequence of a filtered complex below.
Throughout, let 𝒜 be an abelian category.
One says in this cases that the spectral sequence degenerates at r s.
One says in this case that the spectral sequence collapses on this page.
Therefore if all but one row or column vanish, then all these differentials vanish.
A bounded spectral sequence, def. , has a limit term, def. .
But in general this need not be the case.
(See there for details).
This is discussed at spectral sequence of a double complex.
Let 𝒜→Fℬ→G𝒞 be two left exact functors between abelian categories.
This is called the Grothendieck spectral sequence.
This is the Grothendieck spectral sequence.
The above examples are all built on the spectral sequence of a filtered complex.
An alternatively universal construction builds spectral sequences from exact couples.
Setting D′=φD, by general reasoning E′→j′D′→φD′→k′E′→j′. is again an exact couple.
For more see at exact couple – Spectral sequences from exact couples
Examples of exact couples can be constructed in a number of ways.
Notably there are naturally exact couples of towers of (co-)fibrations.
For a list of examples in this class see below.
Here is a more random list (using material from Wikipedia).
Eventually to be merged with the above.

A torsion module is a module whose elements are all torsion.
(Serre 53, see Ravenel 86, Chapter I, Lemma 1.1.8)
Here we refer to these Cat-enriched weighted limits as strict 2-limits.
It just occurred to me that ‘strict initial object’ conflicts with this.
But unlike ‘weak limit’, that doesn’t generalise very far.
Heh, you’re right.
Likewise we have strict oplax limits where the transformation goes in the other direction.
In particular, any strict flexible limit is also a limit.
, then these two notions coincide (Gambino 2007).
Thus we have strict products, strict pullbacks, strict equalizers, and so on.
In particular, there is still a specified projection to each object in the diagram.
These are to be distinguished from:
However, with lax limits the situation is more serious.
This is described in the references below.
This observation leads to the following generalization
Every Lie groupoid integrating a Poisson Lie algebroid is naturally a symplectic Lie groupoid.
One says also that X integrates the Poisson manifold X 0.

The following are equivalent: The principle of excluded middle.
The proof is as follows.
Thus, all finite sets are choice.
In particular, the axiom of choice implies PEM.
This argument, due originally to Diaconescu 75, can be internalized in any topos.

A pretopos is a category which is both exact and extensive.
This implies that it is a coherent category.
Pretoposes are suitable as frameworks for finitist predicative mathematics, respectively with coherent logic.
Frequently one is especially interested in pretoposes having additional properties, such as:
Every pretopos with choice is automatically boolean.
(A Π-pretopos is automatically a Heyting pretopos.)
These are suitable as frameworks for finitist constructive mathematics which is ‘weakly predicative’.
(Here, we take any exponentiable morphism to define a polynomial endofunctor.
These are suitable as frameworks for weakly predicative constructive mathematics that is not finitist.
(Now every morphism defines a polynomial endofunctor, since every morphism is exponentiable.)
A topos is a pretopos that has power objects.
An infinitary pretopos is an infinitary coherent category which is both infinitary extensive and exact.
Extensivity and exactness make a Heyting pretopos a very set-like category.
In a pretopos, this topology is generated by finite jointly epimorphic families.
The codomain fibration of a pretopos is always a stack for its precanonical topology.
The term “coloured PROP” has been used.
Let C be a monoidal category.
Similarly, Δ a op is a PRO whose models are comonoids.
The cartesian monoidal analogue is known as a Lawvere theory.
See also differentiation and derivative.
The approximating linear maps at different points together form the derivative of the map.
One may then ask whether the derivative itself is differentiable, and so on.
Infinitely differentiable maps are sometimes called smooth.
The map df x is called the derivative or differential of f at x.
This is easy to see; just let E(h)=f(x+h)−f(x)−df x(h)‖h‖.
Here h is just a real number.
In particular, the coordinates of df x are the partial derivatives of f.
We can then iterate, obtaining the following hierarchy of differentiability.
We begin with this since a differentiable map is necessarily continuous.
A twice differentiable map must be continuously differentiable.
(There is no difference between infinite differentiability and infinite continuous differentiability.)
One step higher, we may ask whether f is analytic or C ω.
The same is true in constructive mathematics as long as one assumes dependent choice.
For this reason, uniform differentiability is particularly important in constructive mathematics.
It suffices to assume m=1; otherwise we just consider it componentwise.
Define a function g:ℝ→ℝ by g(ξ)=f(x+ξv+w)−f(x+ξv).
But bilinearity of the LHS then implies that it is identically zero.
and if it holds, then the bilinear map ∂ 2f x must be symmetric.
Then we have E(v,δe i)=f(x+v+δe i)−f(x+v)−f(x+δe i)+f(x)−∂ 2f x(v,δw)|v|δ
Thus, df is differentiable at x.
(Note that U×ℝ n is the tangent bundle of U⊆ℝ n.)
We sketch the proof, omitting the explicit error terms.
However, its derivative is not continuous at 0.
Uniform differentiability is stronger than continuous differentiability but independent of twice differentiability.
Similarly, e −1/x 2sin(e 1/x 2) is pointwise smooth.
See e.g. this MSE answer.
For symmetric multicategories we have the following.
Let P be a symmetric operad over Set
This is (Heuts, theorem 1.6).
Fibrations over the terminal multicategory are equivalently representable multicategories (Hermida, corollary 4.3).
Every morphism factors as a split epimorphism followed by a monomorphism.
Any pair of split epimorphisms in R has an absolute pushout.

One can construct explicit counterexamples.
These counterexamples involve elliptic curves with nontrivial automorphisms.
This is the moduli stack of elliptic curves.

Considered over the category of simplicial sets, this is closely connected to decalage.
Such a transformation is called a cone over the diagram F.
A cocone in C is precisely a cone in the opposite category C op.

With G as above, let ℬG be the corresponding classifying space.

For any representation π and endomorphism ρ the composition π∘ρ is another representation.

This says that ρ(A)∈π 0(𝒜(K′))′ and hence by Haag duality ⋯∈π 0(𝒜(K))″.
The endomorphisms ad(U) with U∈𝒜 are called inner automorphisms (of 𝒜).
Such an endomorphism is localized in 𝒪.
General Theorem transportable endomorphisms are compatible with the net structure
(i) finite direct sums of admissible representations are admissible.
(ii) subrepresentations of admissible representations are admissible.
For transportable endomorphisms we get even more:

Both of these approaches rely on a distinction between small and large categories.

The relation ⊥ is then a family of subsets ⊥ X⊆[1→X]×[X→1].
Let X be an object of C.
However, not all the useful orthogonalities arise from focuses.
: Let C=Rel, and let u⊥ Xv if |u∩v|≤1.
finiteness spaces: Let C=Rel, and let u⊥ Xv if |u∩v|<ω.
Let u⊥ Xv if (v∘u)∈[0,1].
One then cuts down further to impose a bounded completeness condition.
Let u⊥ Xv if v∘u=1.
In other words, the focus F⊆CP(ℂ,ℂ) is the singleton map {1}.
In other words, the focus F⊆C(ℝ,ℝ) comprises the smooth maps.
This is how the definition is phrased in Hyland and Schalk.
Thus, double gluing can produce closed symmetric monoidal and *-autonomous categories.
The Poincaré group ISO(d,1) is the isometry group of Minkowski spacetime of dimension d+1.
The group elements are multiplied by composing maps.
The Lorentz group is a 6-dimensional Lie group.
This subgroup is of course 3-dimensional.
We discuss aspects of the Poincaré spinor group.
Similarly the lift to the double covers SU(2)→SL 2(ℂ) is a homotopy equivalence.
We begin with the Lorentz group.
See also Poincaré Lie algebra.
(I could be off by a sign here.
This condition says ⟨ψ|ϕ⟩=⟨g⋅ψ|g⋅ϕ⟩ for every g in the Poincaré group.
Thus the representation of the Poincaré group on Hilbert space is required to be unitary.
This is the generalization of the notion of symplectic manifold to higher symplectic geometry.
A symplectic groupoid is the Lie integration of such a Poisson Lie algebroid.
Therefore, strictly speaking, already “ordinary” symplectic geometry secretly involves Lie groupoids.
This insight is exploited in the refinement of geometric quantization of symplectic groupoids.
We say an object on SymplSmooth∞Grpd is a symplectic smooth ∞-groupoid.
We spell this out in some special cases.
We discuss the Lie integration of Poisson Lie algebroids to symplectic groupoids.
The notion of symplectic manifold formalizes in physics the concept of a classical mechanical system .
One generalization requires passage to Poisson manifolds .
This means that the ∞-Chern-Weil homomorphism applies to them.
This is called a choice of prequantum line bundle for the given symplectic form.
This has an evident generalization to closed forms of degree (n+2).
Let (X,ω) be a symplectic ∞-groupoid.
Then ω represents a class [ω]∈H dR n+2(X).
Write X^→X for the underlying circle (n+1)-group-principal ∞-bundle.
See geometric quantization of symplectic groupoids.
This definition generalizes verbatim to n-plectic geometry.
In this form the definition has an immediate generalization to symplectic n-groupoids.
Regard it as an object in the over-(∞,1)-topos H/B n+2U(1) conn.
, the general definition reproduces the standard notion of Hamiltonian vector fields.
This is precisely the definition of Hamiltonian vector fields.

Some higher categorical aspects are more explicitly present in the works of Nadler and coworkers:
See below for Grothendieck’s own formulation of it.
It has not been proven in its original form.
One such proof is given in Cisinski 08.
Proof Any equivalence of categories preserves colimits.
Now, equivalences of categories also preserve final objects.
Thus we have that F(1 Set)=1 Set for all F.
The proposition follows immediately from these two observations.
This argument is rather canonical.
But here the situation is rather different.
See for instance Voevodsky‘s comment in this thread on the HoTT mailing list.
In most copies of Pursuing Stacks available, the assumption itself is blacked out.
The assumption is about mid-page.
Proofs will be given in the following section.
The most classical notion is the following.
There is at least one object c∈C such that E(c) is an inhabited set.
Hence, this notion of flatness may be called representably flat.
A proof of this is given below as prop. .
Let E be a cocomplete topos (for instance a Grothendieck topos).
In Mac Lane-Moerdijk, VII.8 they are called “filtering functors”.
In Moerdijk, II.2 they are called “principal functors”.
Finally, we can give the most general definition, due to Karazeris
Definition Let E be any site.
For disambiguation, we may refer to this notion as being covering-flat.
This subsumes the other three definitions as follows:
So this is a filtered colimit.
Proof This is VII.9.1 in Mac Lane-Moerdijk.
In other words, Sh(C) is the classifying topos for such functors.
When regarded in this way, flat functors are also known as ind-objects.
This is due to (KarazerisVelebil).
One says that PSh(C) is the classifying topos for internally flat functors out of C.
Examples Morphisms of sites are flat functors which additionally preserve covering families.
Enriched flat functors are studied and characterized in
For U(1)-gauge group this reduces to D=5 Maxwell theory.

If it were, we’d call it a cubical ∞-category).
Is this cubical set the same as Pratt is talking about on p. 13 here?
Perhaps we need some disambiguation then?
But maybe there’s more going on than meets my eyes.
I think you’re right about Pratt’s work, see example 5 here.
If his usage is at all prevalent, we should disambiguate.
So, next question, which are Grandis’s cubical sets?
I believe Grandis is talking about cubes as we are here.
Daniel Kan‘s early work on homotopy theory used cubical sets instead of simplicial sets.

, does have unit and counit being weak equivalences.
Serre’s work on spectral sequences and fibre spaces was based on cubes.
Kan’s early work on combinatorial homotopy was based on cubes.
This is in striking contrast to the cartesian product on simplicial sets.
Nonetheless cubical sets continued to have a kind of underground existence.
Such elements have “commuting boundary”.
The tensor product here generalises the Gray tensor product of 2-categories.
This is also convenient in the homotopical structure on C*-algebras.

It follows that every two strict localizations are not only equivalent but in fact isomorphic.
To say this loop commutes, is to say e 3=1 X.

For both of these wrong statements, you are assuming that arrows somehow cancel.
Especially the first one, think of it in terms of dimensional analysis.
I think I’ve managed to boil it down to the basic disagreement.
It is about “shape dependence”.
I reject the notion of shape dependence.
I explain this on the n-Forum.
Or you reject shape dependence and work with semidiagrams instead.

Idea Quillen adjunctions are one convenient notion of morphisms between model categories.
They present adjoint (∞,1)-functors between the (∞,1)-categories presented by the model categories.
The conditions in def. are indeed all equivalent.
We discuss statement (i), statement (ii) is formally dual.
In an enriched model category one speaks of enriched Quillen adjunction.
For L we apply the formally dual argument.
These present adjoint (∞,1)-functors, as the first proposition below asserts.
This is proposition 5.2.4.6 in HTT.
This appears as HTT, cor. A.3.7.2.

In this case α is called a Hamiltonian for v.
In this case α is called a Hamiltonian (n-1)-form for v.
For instance (X,ω) might be a symplectic ∞-groupoid.
In particular it is independent of the choice of prequantum line bundle.
This is precisely the definition of Hamiltonian vector fields.
The corresponding Hamiltonian function here is h:=α′−ι vA.
Every Hamiltonian vector field is in particular a symplectic vector field.
This appears as (Brylinski, 2.3.3).
Then there is a central extension of Lie algebras 0→ℝ→(C ∞(X),{−,−})→HamVect(X,ω)→0.
See around (Brylinski, prop. 2.3.9).
The Hamiltonian vector fields among the symplectic ones generate the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms.
The Hamiltonian vector field of a given function may also be called its symplectic gradient.
See also at higher geometric quantization.
We begin with the definition of families of sets and indexed sets.
A singleton is a pointed subsingleton.
Every subsingleton is a subset of a singleton.
Similarly, every family of singletons is equivalently just a bijection f:A≃B.
The support enables us to make every set S into a subsingleton.
However, by definition, these operations result in a subsingleton.

Evidently differentiation gives a function D:C n+1(ℝ k)→C n(ℝ k×ℝ k).
Then the differential df:TX→TY is defined by df(x,v)=(f(x),v∘f *).

In the English literature, this fact is known as the chain rule.
But in fact much less is required for most of the discussion.
(Here in the second step we have used Hadamard's lemma.)
For more comprehensive such discussion see (Stel 13).
We write ω=hdx with h∈C ∞(ℝ).
The second combination is f˜:X (Δ inf 1)→+ℝ→fℝ.
For instance consider the function f:x↦x 2.
Write f′∈C ∞(ℝ) for the coefficient: f(x+ϵ)−f(x)=ϵf′(x).
This is the differential of f regarded as a map of tangent bundles.
Thus the continuity assumption eliminates troublesome pathologies.
He is based at the University of La Rioja, Spain.

For each x∈I, we have γ 1(x)=x.
It is true for n=0 and n=1 by definition.
For n≥2, this follows by induction, since n!γ n(x)=(n−1)!γ n−1(x)⋅1!γ 1(x)=x n−1⋅x.
It’s straightforward to check the definition does give a divided power algebra.

This entry is about the notion of skeleton in category theory.
For the notion of (co)skeletal simplicial sets see at simplicial skeleton.
A weak skeleton of C is any skeletal category which is weakly equivalent to C.
Denote by in:sk(C)→C the inclusion.
We exhibit a weak inverse of in as a functor −′:x↦x′ constructed as follows.
The rule for morphisms −′:f↦f′:=i y∘f∘i x −1 is clearly functorial.
Let us show that −′ is a weak inverse of in.
This completes the proof that −′ is indeed a weak inverse of in.
Using the above definition, we can canonically define the skeleton of an indexed category.
Let ψ:ℬ op→ℭ𝔞𝔱 be an indexed category.
Let p:ℰ→ℬ be a fibration.
For details, see the subobject fibration section of codomain fibration.
In this section we collect some properties of skeleta in set-level foundations.
Thus, the notion of skeletal category violates the principle of equivalence.
Without any choice, we have the following theorems.
Notice that the axiom of choice fails in general when one considers internal categories.
Hence not every internal category has a skeleton.
In Categories, Allegories it is shown that the following are equivalent.
The axiom of choice holds.
Any two ana-equivalent categories are strongly equivalent.
Any two weakly equivalent categories are strongly equivalent.
Every small category has a weak skeleton.
Every small category has a coskeleton.
Any two weak skeletons of a given small category are isomorphic.
Any two coskeletons of a given small category are isomorphic.
More explicitly, consider the notion of cartesian product in a category.
In intensional type theory such as homotopy type theory, additional care is needed.
(Here ‖−‖ denotes the propositional truncation.)
Indeed, the gaunt categories are precisely those that are both skeletal and univalent.
The walking parallel pair is a skeletal category which is not a poset.
Here we do not assume positivity (positive semidefiniteness) or definiteness (nondegeneracy).
Are the two conventions really equivalent when k is noncommutative? —Toby

An inner product space is simply a vector space equipped with an inner product.
These observations motivate some possible conditions on the inner product:
An inner product is definite iff it's both semidefinite and nondegenerate.
In a similar way, every inner product space has a nondegenerate quotient.
Now suppose that k is equipped with a partial order.
Hence, a definite inner product is either positive or negative definite.

The above definition can be generalized to support colored properads instead of just operads.

We begin with some easy preliminary remarks.
It follows that Mod R(R n,−) preserves coproducts.
(As adapted from Gaillard’s answer.)
This means that infinitely many components f i:M→B i are nonzero.
Then if Mod R(N,−) is coproduct-preserving, so is Mod R(M,−).
(As adapted from Muro’s answer.)
Consider a family B i of modules, and a map f:M→⊕ iB i.
If Mod R(M,−) preserves coproducts, then M is finitely generated.
(Combining Gaillard’s and Muro’s answers.)
Suppose M is not finitely generated.
Let M′ be the union of the M i.
By Theorem 1, the representable Mod R(M′,−) does not preserve coproducts.
By Theorem 2, we infer that Mod R(M,−) does not preserve coproducts.
Thus, Noetherian rings are steady.
Assume that M is not finitely generated.
Clearly the poset P is nonempty and has no maximal element.
There is thus a finitely generated submodule F of M which generates M modulo U.

There are various special cases and types of classes of geometric morphisms.
This appears as (Johnstone, example A4.1.4).
This plays a role for the discussion of morphisms of sites.
This appears as (Johnstone, example A4.1.10).
We check the axioms on a filtered category:
A geometric morphism f:E→F is a surjection if f * is faithful.
It is an embedding if f * is fully faithful.
This is called the constant object of E on the set S.
Notably when E is a sheaf topos this is the constant sheaf on S.
So it is left exact and we do have a geometric morphism.
Hence (∐ k⊣k *⊣∏ k) is an essential geometric morphism.
This map Hom Top(X,Y)→GeomMor(Sh(X),Sh(Y)) is an bijection of sets.
We follow MacLane-Moerdijk, page 348.
Yes, that’s exactly right.
I think that should be clarified.
OK, I added a paragraph at the beginning of the example to clarify this.
I still need to rewrite the argument immediately above to apply to sober spaces.
(Everything else seems to go through exactly the same.)
In particular it is therefore a continuous map.
The special classes of geometric morphisms are discussed in section C3.
A similar operator was used by Bourbaki and appears in FMathL?.

In fact, there are two notions of generalized Reedy category in the literature.
They were introduced primarily for the purposes of modeling homotopy types.
The last condition implies that the isomorphism in the penultimate condition must be unique.

The concept of a subobject classifier generalizes this situation to toposes other than Set:
See for instance (MacLane-Moerdijk, p. 32).
Note that the subobjects classified by the truth values are subterminal objects.
Moreover, in this case C is well powered.
This appears for instance as (MacLane-Moerdijk, prop. I.3.1).
(Notice that monomorphisms, as discussed there, are stable under pullback.)
This is the pasting law for pullbacks.
Here sieves(U) is equivalently the set of subobjects of the representable presheaf Y(U).
In a sheaf topos The following is adapted from p. 34 of Caramello.
Let (C,J) be a Grothendieck site.
Clearly, every sieve on c can be saturated to a closed one.
The “internal logic” of such a topos is intuitionistic.
Write ℰ/X for the corresponding over-topos.
The subobject classifier of ℰ/X is p 2:Ω ℰ×X→X.
But the statement is also easily directly checked.
“Only if” is trivial.
Then also kp=q since jkp=ip=jq and j is monic.
Thus k is an isomorphism.
Already these results impose some tight restrictions on C.
We get some more by exploiting the internal structure of Ω.
More significantly, Ω is an internal Heyting algebra.
In every subobject poset Sub(X), meets distribute over any joins that exist.
Thus Ω is a Hopfian object?.
An online proof may be found here.
This includes the following examples.
Here’s another obstacle:
But not all monos in Grp are kernels.
For any nontrivial category with biproducts, there are non-distributive subobject lattices.
So the only such category that can have a subobject classifier is trivial.
Suppose there is a category C with finite limits.
Strong subobject classifiers in particular are important in the definition of a quasitopos.
Let κ be an inaccessible cardinal.
In higher topoi the subobject classifiers are the universal fibrations:

This is called reduced homology.
We discuss the reduced version of singular homology.
Let X be a topological space.
Write C •(X) for its singular chain complex.
Accordingly the reduced homology of the point vanishes in every degree: H˜ •(*)≃0.
Moreover, it is clear that ϵ:C 0(*)→ℤ is the identity map.
It remains to deal with the case in degree 0.
To that end, observe that H 0(x):H 0(*)→H 0(X) is a monomorphism
This implies that H 0(x) is an injection.

Some externalizations of homotopy type theory exhibit these, others do not.
This being a projection means that ◯X≃◯◯X.
In categorical semantics this means essentially that □ is an idempotent comonad.
The category H ◯ is equivalently the Eilenberg-Moore category of ◯.
It is fairly familiar from the practice of category theory that adjunctions express oppositions.
This has been considered in (Lawvere 00) Example
Negation ist das, was wir Grenze heißen.
Etwas ist nur in seiner Grenze und durch seine Grenze das, was es ist.
In general there is no reason for this to be the case.
Consider the case of an opposition of the form ◯⊣□.
But this forces it to be the terminal obect itself.
depends crucially on the restriction to 0-types.
See at differential hexagon for the proof.
This implies in particular that ◯J≃*. Progression
There is the unit type *.
Every type has a unique map X→* to that.
Dually there is the empty type ∅.
As a concept, this is the concept with no instance.
This trivially resolves the initial opposition.
This equivalently means to demand that the double negation subtopos is essential .
Hence ♭ is the moment of pure discreteness.
We may hence also say that ♭X is the “point content” of X.
We ask this to have definite negation, def. .
Together these are the axioms of cohesion as considered in (Lawvere 07).
(There it is additionally asked that ʃ preserves binary Cartesian products.)
Therefore we further add labels as follows.
By remark the shape modality ʃ determines a concept of similarity of types.
Hence this unity of opposites is geometric quality.
Recall the Brown representability theorem from stable homotopy theory:
For more amplification of this point see at Differential cohomology is Cohesive homotopy theory.
Here the moments appearing in the hexagon have the following interpretation.
Hence in summary we have found determinations as follows.
Continuing the process, we posit a further opposition of moments lifting the previous ones.
More in detail, we may ask just how small these small paths are.
Hence with these moments posited, types now have qualities of synthetic differential geometry.
The minimal choice is ℤ/2ℤ-grading.
We indicate this notationally by e≔⇝¯
In summary we now have arrived at the following process of determinations.
We conclude the process at this point.
The negative of id is *. The opposite of * is ∅.
The negative of ∅ is maybe.
These are precisely the pointed types.
For details see at Quantization via Linear homotopy types.
We now indicate some of these new constructions.
Let G be a an ∞-group type.
We say that BG is the delooping of G.
Let 𝔾 be an abelian ∞-group type.
With this one has G˜≃B p+1𝔾 conn.
This is the kind of field content of higher gauged WZW models.
We call this the WZW term whose curvature is μ(θ G).
See also at geometry of physics – manifolds and orbifolds.
Since the bosonic modality provides Aufhebung for ℜ⊣ℑ we have ⇝ℑ≃ℑ.
Finally ⇝ preserves pullbacks (being in particular a right adjoint).
See also at geometry of physics – G-structure and Cartan geometry.
We call this the left invariant G-structure.
Consider any group homomorphism G→GL(V).
Indeed, this is a phenomenon known as the torsion constraints in supergravity.
Further discussion of this should go to the nForum page here.
The hom-functor preserves limits in both arguments separately.
So the hom-functor is the image of the identity functor under this inclusion.
(The 2-category Topos of all toposes is not locally essentially small.)
Every sheaf topos over a posite is localic.
(See there for details.)
It was a watershed event for the penetration of localic methods in topos theory.
Proposition Localic toposes correspond exactly to classifying toposes of propositional theories.
This appears in Johnstone (2002, D3.1.14, p.897f.).
The relation between L and ℙ L is that Sh(L)≃Set[ℙ L].
This is certainly propositional, its deductive closure consists of all tautologies using ⊥,⊤,∧,⋁.
Notice that a locale is itself a (Grothendieck) (0,1)-topos.
In the wider context this would be called a 1-localic (1,1)-topos.
See this nForum thread for some discussion and speculation on this point.

See also n-connected/n-truncated factorization system.
This appears as a remark in HTT, Example 5.2.8.16.
In a hypercomplete (∞,1)-topos the ∞-connected morphisms are precisely the equivalences.
a 0-connected object is a path-connected space.
a 1-connected object is a simply connected space.
a ∞-connected object is a contractible space.

We extend the Frobenius morphism x↦x (p) to an automorphism of B(k).
It uses the internal logic of a topos to develop a part of mathematics.
This is closely related to topology via logic and abstract Stone duality.
Thus types may be regarded not just as sets but as topological objects.
Richard P. Stanley is a mathematician specializing in combinatorics.
Such Segal objects give the (∞,1)-categorical version of internal categories as algebraic structures.

This is the topic of chromatic homotopy theory.
Let δ=(n−1,n−2,…,1,0).
An immediate consequence is:
First to set up some notation:
Schur functors may be viewed as a categorification of Schur functions.
The concept first appears in work by Carl Jacobi on determinants.
Drinfeld showed using associators that the same holds true over Q.
The universal enveloping U(L n)⊗Q is a Koszul algebra.
For more details, see the entry †-category.
The unitary morphisms in C= Hilb are the ordinary unitary operators between Hilbert spaces
In particular the unitary automorphisms of an object in Hilb form the unitary group.
The unitary morphisms in C= Rel are the ordinary bijectionss between sets
In particular the unitary automorphisms of an object in Rel form the permutation group.
The deformation theory around these strata is Lubin-Tate theory.
This is the Lubin-Tate formal group.
Similarly quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is an interacting field theories.
This constitutes a generalized notion of locally ringed toposes called 𝒢-structured (∞,1)-toposes.
If only all finite products exist we speak of a pre-geometry.
Every pregeometry 𝒯 extends uniquely 𝒯↪𝒢 to an enveloping geometry 𝒢.
Various concepts for geometries have immediate analogues for pregeometries.

The other two clauses encode that this ∞-algebra 𝒪 indeed behaves like a function algebra .
See derived étale geometry for the precise statement.
See Deligne-Mumford stack for details.
There should be a geometry 𝒢 such that 𝒢-generalized schemes are precisely derived smooth manifolds.
The general theory is developed in Jacob Lurie, Structured Spaces

Let X be a simplicial set.
Let f:X→Y be a homomorphism of simplicial sets.
Also see coskeleton for more details.
We first discuss the absolute tower and then the relative version.
Let X be a Kan complex.
Write X(n):=X/ ∼ n for the quotient simplicial set.
There are evident morphisms X(n)→X(n−1).
This appears for instance as (Goerss-Jardine, theorem Vi 2.5).
We discuss a model for the relative Postnikov tower, def. .
Proposition This construction gives indeed a relative Postnikov tower for f.
This is due to John Duskin.
See for instance (Beke, pages 302-305).
This is discussed in (BFGM).
Remark Let f •:V •⟶W • be a chain map between chain complexes
This follows by elementary and straightforward direct inspection.
These are the categorical homotopy groups in L lwhesPSh(C) loc.
Therefore the claim now follows from the stalkwise long exact sequence of homotopy groups.
It is known that Postnikov systems classify all weak, pointed connected homotopy types.
This gives an algebraic model of such an n-type.
The various higher homotopy van Kampen theorems are useful in the latter case.
The reference below shows the problems in the 3-stage systems.
Then there is a weak homotopy equivalence K(n)→≃K(π n(X,v),n).
We may think of Top as being the archetypical (∞,1)-category.
One can generalize also to the Maurer-Cartan form on a principal bundle.
The Maurer-Cartan form is a Lie-algebra valued form with vanishing curvature.
This is known as the Maurer-Cartan equation.
This is what analytically becomes the statement of vanishing curvature.
Morphisms X→♭ dRBG correspond to flat 𝔤-valued differential forms on G.
For G an ordinary Lie group, this reduces to the above definition.
This statement and its proof is spelled out here.
The synthetic Maurer-Cartan form itself appears in example 3.7.2.
The synthetic vanishing of its curvature is corollary 6.7.2.
The troubles stem from the reservoir attached to the anti-de Sitter universe.
This is not an innocuous assumption.
Idea A supercommutative ring is an ℤ-supercommutative algebra.
A (topological) space whose only connected subspaces are singletons is called totally disconnected.
Example Discrete spaces are totally disconnected.
Hence no inhabited open subspace of the rational numbers is connected.
A product in Top of totally disconnected spaces is totally disconnected.
A subspace of a totally disconnected space is totally disconnected.
Hence limits in Top of diagrams of totally disconnected spaces are totally disconnected.
Similarly, Cantor space 2 ℕ is totally disconnected.
Another notable special case of the preceding class of examples is the following.
See also Stone space.
The general class of examples in Example may be seen in the following light.
We check that connected components C of X/∼ are singletons.

A projective line is a projective space of dimension 1.
There are, however, plenty of projective lines not arising from projective planes.
For instance, we might set Λ(p,q)=1 for all p,q.
Conversely, every Desarguesian projective line arises from a division ring in this way.
Fix three points 0,1,∞∈ℓ and define k=ℓ∖{∞}.

A Lagrangian field theory exhibiting these is also called a gauge theory.
for compactly supported gauge parameter this yields spacetime-compactly supported infinitesimal symmetriesdef.
closed gauge parametersLie bracket of infinitesimal gauge symmetries closes on gauge parametersdef.
As such they are called ghost fields.
Let (E,L) be a Lagrangian field theory over a Lorentzian spacetime.
is the trivial implicit infinitesimal gauge transformations (example ).
Furthermore assume that L is at least quadratic in the vertical coordinates around φ.
Therefore we now consider this case in detail.
In this case one says that the gauge parameter bundle 𝒢→gbΣ is a generating set.
Take K to be as in equation (3): dJ R=A+dK.
We will need some further technical results on Noether identities:
Here are examples of infinitesimal gauge symmetries in Lagrangian field theory:
This is the archetypical infinitesimal gauge symmetry that gives gauge theory its name.
We further discuss these higher gauge transformations below.
We write dgcSAlg for the category of differential graded-commutative superalgebra.
In fact both these concepts unify into the concept of an action Lie algebroid:
(We discuss homomorphism between Lie ∞-algebroid below in def. .)
See at Higher Structures for exposition.
We write B𝔤 or */𝔤 for 𝔤 regarded as a Lie algebroid this way.
Here is another basic examples of Lie algebroids that will plays a role:
This is called the tangent Lie algebroid of Σ.
More generally, let E→fbΣ be a fiber bundle over Σ.
Recall the general concept of a Lie algebra action from def. .
We need to show that (19) squares to zero.
This shows that the two terms cancel.
One may remove the dependence on a basepoint by passing to the fundamental groupoid.
This is injective by assumption that X is of characteristic p.
The first is true by construction.
The synonymous expression weak homotopy lifting property (WHLP) is also used.
Somewhat surprisingly, there is an equivalent condition in terms of delayed homotopies.
This is sometimes called the delayed homotopy lifting property.
I’ll ask on MathOverflow.
Proposition Not all Dold fibrations are Serre fibrations.
Here is a very simple counter-example due to Dold.
Then this map is a Dold fibration but not a Serre fibration.
I just made it up, suggestions appreciated).
For these maps there exists a long exact sequence in homotopy once basepoints are chosen.
Observation Every shrinkable map is a Dold fibration.
Let {U i→X} be a numerable open cover.
Then the canonical map |C({U i})|→X is shrinkable, hence a Dold fibration.
This observation is due to Segal.
These are called gauged supergravity theories.
These induce gauged supergravities (e.g. Samtleben 08, figure 1).

Explicitly, the tangent ∞-category is given as follows.
This is the first part of the proof of DT. prop. 1.1.9.
In particular, it admits all (∞,1)-limits and (∞,1)-colimits.
This is (Lurie, prop. 1.1.13).
This is (Lurie, theorem 1.5.14).

Lemma (spectrification is left exact reflective)
Consider then a sufficiently deep transfinite composition ρ tf.
For more on this see at tangent cohesive (∞,1)-topos.
First consider the base (∞,1)-topos H= ∞Grpd.
Applying remark in remark yields that T X(∞Grpd)≃Stab(Func(X,∞Grpd)).
The statement then follows with the “stable Giraud theorem”.
So we have an infinite chain of adjoint (∞,1)-functors (⋯base⊣0⊣base⊣0⊣⋯).
If H is itself cohesive, then we end up with H←dom⟶ΩTH←0⟶base←0⟶baseH←coDisc⟶Γ←Disc⟶Π∞Grpd.
As of August 2022, this paper is withdrawn due to an error.

This page contains a detailed introduction to basic topology.
This is called algebraic topology.
But the concept of topological spaces is a good bit more general.
Hence we discuss topology in its traditional form with classical logic.
For further reading along these lines see Johnstone 83. (set theory)
Apart from classical logic, we assume the usual informal concept of sets.
Let f:X⟶Y be a function between sets.
Let {S i⊂X} i∈I be a set of subsets of X.
The injection in the second item is in general proper.
Let f:X⟶Y be a function between sets.
Let {T i⊂Y} i∈I be a set of subsets of Y.
Let (X,d), be a metric space.
A key source of metric spaces are normed vector spaces:
The following is now the fairly obvious definition of continuity for functions between metric spaces.
In particular the original distance function d(x,−)=d({x},−) is continuous in both its arguments.
Let x∈X and let ϵ be a positive real number.
Hence polynomials are continuous functions.
(the empty subset is open)
Regard the real numbers ℝ as the 1-dimensional Euclidean space (example ).
For the record, we spell it out:
First assume that f is continuous in the epsilontic sense.
Hence this is an open ball of the required kind.
We now briefly recall these concepts from analysis.
Let (X,d) be a metric space (def. ).
Here the point x ∞ is called the limit of the sequence.
Often one writes limi→∞x i for this point.
Finally recall the concept of compactness of metric spaces via epsilontic analysis:
we should pay attention to open subsets in metric spaces.
(The second of these may seem less obvious than the first.
We discuss the general logic behind these kinds of phenomena below.)
A set X equipped with such a topology is called a topological space.
But beware that there are other kinds of spaces in mathematics.
The combinatorial nature of these definitions makes topology be closely related to formal logic.
This becomes more manifest still for the “sober topological space” discussed below.
For more on this perspective see the remark on locales below, remark .
An introductory textbook amplifying this perspective is (Vickers 89).
This is called the metric topology.
(This is also called the initial topology of the inclusion map.
We come back to this below in def. .)
(This is also called the final topology of the projection π.
We come back to this below in def. . )
The following examples illustrate how all these ingredients and construction principles may be combined.
These subsets are called the Zariski closed subsets.
These are called the Zariski open subsets of k n.
Write PrimeIdl(R) for its set of prime ideals.
These are called the Zariski closed subsets of PrimeIdl(R).
Their complements are called the Zariski open subsets.
Let (X,τ) be a topological space (def. ).
(closure of a finite union is the union of the closures)
This implis that the given point is contained in the set on the right.
First assume that V⊂X is closed and that x i⟶i→∞x ∞ for some x ∞∈X.
We need to show that then x ∞∈V.
Suppose on the contrary that such ϵ did not exist.
Hence then we could choose points x k∈B x ∘(1/k)∩V in these intersections.
Often one considers closed subsets inside a closed subspace.
The following is immediate, but useful.
Under these identifications, the two conditions are manifestly the same.
(frame homomorphisms preserve inclusions)
Below in def. we highlight these as the continuous functions between topological spaces.
Proposition (irreducible closed subsets are equivalently frame homomorphisms to opens of the point)
See also (Johnstone 82, II 1.3).
Finally, it is clear that these two operations are inverse to each other.
We may equivalently state this in terms of closed subsets:
Proof This follows since taking pre-images commutes with taking complements.
The two categories Top and Set are different, but related.
One also speaks of a forgetful functor.
A category equipped with a faithful functor to Set is called a concrete category.
Hence Top is canonically a concrete category.
(product topological space construction is functorial)
Moreover, this construction respects identity functions and composition of functions in both arguments.
We come back to this below in example .
Below in prop. we find a large supply of closed maps.
Here f −1(f(S)) is also called the f-saturation of S.
Therefore it now only remains to see that U⊃V⊃C.
The inclusion V⊃C is equivalent to f −1(f(X∖U))∩C=∅.
Since C is saturated by assumption, this is equivalent to f −1(f(X∖U))∩f −1(f(C))=∅.
, we obtain the concept of “sameness” in topology.
Beware the following notation:
The underlying function of sets of f is a bijection.
The inverse function of sets however fails to be continuous at (1,0)∈S 1⊂ℝ 2.
Hence this f is not a homeomorphism.
But immediate from the definitions is the foll
There are several discussions and variation of surface diagrams available.
In this case the above yields a twisted Umkehr map.

These integral kernels are the advanced/retarded “propagators”.
The last step is simply the application of Euler's formula sin(α)=12i(e iα−e −iα).
This integration domain may then further be completed to two contour integrations.
Corollary (causal propagator is skew-symmetric)
The last line is Δ H(x,y), by definition .
Proposition (skew-symmetric part of Wightman propagator is the causal propagator)
On the left this identifies the causal propagator by (13), prop. .
This does not change the integral, and hence H is symmetric.
Similarly the anti-Feynman propagator is Δ F¯≔i2(Δ ++Δ −)−H.
where in the second line we used Euler's formula.
In the first step we introduced the complex square root ω ±ϵ(k→).
We follow (Scharf 95 (2.3.18)).
Next we similarly parameterize the vector x−y by its rapidity τ.

As a consequence, a representable Y has a canonical section to any weak representation X.
Let X be any topological space.
(one-point extension is well-defined)
We need to show that this has a finite subcover.
Let X be a locally compact topological space.
It is clear that if X is not Hausdorff then X * is not.
For the converse, assume that X is Hausdorff.
Let X be a topological space.
This is immediate from the definition of X *.
To see this, note that such a map is necessarily unique.
It suffices to show existence.
Extend f to a map f *:X *→Y
It follows that f * is continuous.
This property characterizes X * in an essentially unique manner.
X is dense in X * precisely if X is not already compact.
Note that X * is technically a compactification of X only in this case.
This is briefly mentioned in Bredon 93, p. 199.
Euclidean spaces compactify to Spheres
By stereographic projection we have a homeomorphism S n∖{∞}≃ℝ n.
What we need to show is that every locally compact Hausdorff spaces arises this way.
So let X be a locally compact Hausdorff space.

We can define ‘commutative’ Frobenius algebras in any symmetric monoidal category.

So, any strongly separable algebra becomes a special Frobenius algebra in a unique way.
For more details, see separable algebra and Aguiar (2000).
The other triangle identity uses the other Frobenius law and unit and counit axioms.
Frobenius algebras are closely connected with ambidextrous adjunctions.
Certain kinds of Frobenius algebras have nice PROPs or PROs.
This means that any commutative Frobenius algebra gives a 2d TQFT.
In 2Cob, the circle is a Frobenius algebra.
The monoid laws look like this:
The comonoid laws look like this:
This is worth comparing to the PROP for commutative bialgebras, which is Span(FinSet).

In quantum field theory reflection positivity is the incarnation of unitarity under Wick rotation.
, exactly one of the two spaces is the empty space.
According to def. the empty topological space is not regarded as connected.
Some authors do want the empty space to count as a connected space.
The conditions in def. are indeed equivalent.
We need to show that exactly one of the two subsets is empty.
This way the third condition is equivalent to the second.
In constructive mathematics the conditions in Def. no longer need to be equivalent.
This definition generalises to the notion of connected objects in an extensive category.
See also the discussion at empty space and at too simple to be simple.
It is called the connected component of x.
It is closed, by Result .
This is called the quasi-component of x, denoted here as QConn(x).
We need to show that precisely one of them is the empty set.
Since preimages preserve unions it also follows that p −1(U 1)∪p −1(U 2)=X.
Wide pushouts of connected spaces are connected.
More memorably: connected colimits of connected spaces are connected.
Let {X i} i∈I be a set of connected spaces.
This relies on some special features of Top.
A general abstract proof is given at connected object in this theorem and this remark.
We need to show that precisely one of the two is empty.
By induction this finally yields an x′ 1 as claimed.
Moreover they are still disjoint and cover X i.
Hence by the connectedness of X i, precisely one of them is empty.
Regard the real line with its Euclidean metric topology.
Suppose on the contrary that we have x<r<y but r∉S.
This yields a proof by contradiction.
The basic results above give a plethora of ways to construct connected spaces.
More exotic examples are sometimes useful, especially for constructing counterexamples.
The following, due to Bing, is a countable connected Hausdorff space.
Clearly any two such closures intersect, and therefore the space is connected.
This example is due to Golomb.
(locally constant function on connected topological spaces are constant functions)
By connectedness this cover must consist of a single non-empty element.
But by construction this means that f is constant.
An important variation on the theme of connectedness is path-connectedness.
One says that the path connects the point γ(0)∈X with the point γ(1)∈X.
The set of path connected components of X is denoted π 0(X).
The resulting quotient space will be discrete if X is locally path-connected.)
We say X is path-connected if it has exactly one path component.
This would be in contradiction to the fact that intervals are connected.
Hence we have a proof by contradiction.
The path components and connected components do coincide if X is locally path-connected.
(As of course does example , trivially.)
Equivalently, that there are no non-constant paths.
This by far does not mean that the space is discrete!
For a proof of this theorem, see Willard, theorem 31.2.
Obviously X is compact (Hausdorff) and connected.
We claim ∀ f(𝒞)≔{∀ f(C)=¬f(¬C):C∈𝒞} is an (evidently countable) base for X.
Put C=B 1∪…∪B n.
The first inclusion is equivalent to p∈∀ f(C) by the adjunction f −1⊣∀ f.
Thus we have shown ∀ f(𝒞) is a base.
Let X be a nonempty Hausdorff space.
Then there exists a continuous surjection α:[0,1]→X if X is a Peano space.
In particular, a nonempty Peano space is path-connected.
The functor π 0:Top→Set preserves arbitrary products.
Then ⟨α i⟩:I→∏ iX i connects (x i) to (y i).
(Note this uses the axiom of choice.)
Then (x i) maps to (c i).
Again this uses the axiom of choice.
The functor π 0:Top→Set preserves arbitrary coproducts.
The functor hom(I,−):Top→Set preserves coproducts since I is connected, and similarly for hom(1,−).
Pseudo-arcs Point-set topology is filled with counterexamples.
By example the interval [a,b] is connected.
By example also its image f([a,b])⊂ℝ is connected.
By example that image is hence itself an interval.
Then also the topological closure Cl(S)⊂X is connected
Suppose that Cl(S)=A⊔B with A,B⊂X disjoint open subsets.
We need to show that one of the two is empty.
Hence by the connectedness of S, one of A∩S or B∩S is empty.
Assume B∩S is empty, otherwise rename.
Hence A∩S=S, or equivalently: S⊂A.
This means that B=∅, and hence that Cl(S) is connected.
Then its connected components (def. ) are closed subsets.
The connected subsets of a space form a connectology.
Discussion of connectedness in constructive mathematics is in

The theory of knots is very visual.
It can provide a link between the concrete and abstract.
Sometimes, higher dimensional knots are also considered.
Typically, knots are considered up to ambient isotopy (or smooth isotopy).
The trefoil knot is the simplest non-trivial knot.
In its simplest representation, it has three crossings.
Classifying knots up to isotopy is usually done using knot invariants.
A few are reasonably easy to define and to calculate… Yippee!
This is then represented by putting a directional arrow on diagrams of the knot.
This leads to the idea of invertible knots?.
There are various pages related to knot theory that are linked from the main articles.

Thus, the Karoubi envelope is a completion operation into such categories.
There is an Abstract definition that characterizes idempotent completions.
In particular the idempotent completion always exists and is unique up to equivalence of categories.
Explicit constructions include: Construction in components Construction via the Yoneda embedding
See e.g. (Lurie, def. 5.1.4.1).
Let C be a category.
We give an elementary construction of the Karoubi envelope C¯ which formally splits idempotents in C.
This functor is full and faithful: it fully embeds C in C¯.
Thus the pair (p,j) formally splits the idempotent e:c→c.
The details are spelled out here.
More details on this are at Semicategory - Relation to categories.
Now we make some easy observations: Fix(p)⊆g −1(0).
The derivative dg(0):T 0(U)→T 0(kerdp(0))≅kerdp(0) is π again since Id−dp(0) is idempotent.
The tangent space T 0(g −1(0)∩V) is canonically identified with im(dp(0)).
Both examples are related by the Serre-Swan theorem.
For more classical references see at Cauchy complete category.

The name “Friendly Giant” for the Monster did not take on.
The Monster admits a reasonably succinct description in terms of Coxeter groups.
Regard Y 443 as a Coxeter diagram.
See here if this is not clear.
This implicitly describes the Monster in terms of 12 generators and 80 relators.
See Ivanov for a general description of these.
The presentation of the Monster given above was established in Ivanov2.
Another important tool are cohomological vanishing theorems in appropriate contexts.

Representation theory is the study of the basic symmetries of mathematics and physics.
A signature triumph of the past century is our understanding of compact Lie groups.
It is a primary explanation for miraculous integrality and positivity properties in algebraic combinatorics.
This is the boundary condition.
Specifically we quantize a correspondence as above by applying the following procedure
Regard this as a cospan in KK-theory.
Assume that the middle and right objects are dualizable objects.
This we regard as the quantization of the boundary correspondence.
Identifying “symplectic groupoids” as 2-plectic groupoids
We discuss this in detail below, but in brief it works as follows:
This is the traditional topic of geometric quantization of symplectic groupoids.
Here we just collect some of the main ingredients needed below.
The transgression is witnessed by a Chern-Simons element cs π.
Infinitesimally this yields the Poisson sigma-model.
These correspond to coisotropic submanifolds of the underlying Poisson manifold.
This completes the proof.
Twisted unitary vector bundles are equivalently projective modules over this algebra.
By the discussion at groupoid convolution algebra this yields a bimodule Symplectic case
The atlas is the object inclusion X→Pair(X),.
A Morita equivalence bimodule from there to the ground field is (…)
Hence the C *-bimodule here is that generated from integral kernels.

There are various slight variants of the definition of Kan extension .
These define the extension of an entire functor, by an adjointness relation.
Furthermore, a pointwise Kan extension can be “absolute”.
It is certainly true that most Kan extensions which arise in practice are pointwise.
This distinction is even more important in enriched category theory.
The local definition of right Kan extensions along p is dual.
(Reviews include (Riehl, I 1.3)).
First, here is a characterization that doesn’t rely on any computational framework:
expressed in terms of an end as (Ran pF)(c′)≃∫ c∈CC′(c′,p(c))⋔F(c).
But the above equivalence relation is precisely that under which this composite would be invariant.
This appears for instance as (Borceux, I, thm 3.7.2).
The components of η F over c∈C are morphisms η F(c):F(c)→(Lan pF)(p(c)).
Non-pointwise Kan extensions seem to be very rare in practice.
See there for the precise statement.
This is discussed in (Lack 09, section 2.2).
See (Roald, Example 2.24) for details.
Then the left Kan extension lan fg exists.
There is no chance that the lemma is true when A is a large category.
Then the left Kan extension lan fg exists.
Let A→fB be a functor.
Indeed, having a dense generator is a good compromise between generality and tameness.
Then the left Kan extension lan fg exists.
I am not aware of a reference for this result.
Notably 𝒱 may be Set.
The second statement appears for instance as (Kelly, prop. 4.23).
Here the last step is called sometimes the co-Yoneda lemma.
Left Kan extensions preserving certain limits
Therefore (by the discussion here) it is a cofinal functor.
A similar result holds for (∞,1)-categories.
The central point about examples of Kan extensions is: Kan extensions are ubiquitous .
But any list is necessarily wildly incomplete.
see also examples of Kan extensions
Let f:X→Y be a continuous map and F a presheaf over X.
For Grothendieck sites such f(V) would not make even sense.
But inclusion f(V)⊂W implies V⊂f −1(f(V))⊂f −1(W).
The latter identity V⊂f −1(W) involves only open sets.
Thus we take a colimit over the comma category (V↓f −1) of G.
This usage of left Kan extension persists in the more general case of Grothendieck topologies.
We list here some occurrences of Kan extensions in physics.
But here is a list of some example where they appear rather explicitly.
For this reason, we have above denoted this functor by p *.
This can be unpacked the following way:
is pointed and if the category C has finite limits, then finitely complete
More generally, we can talk about arbitrary limits distributing over colimits.
We recover the above definition when K is a constant functor.
This is because any pullback of a fibration is an exact square.
For sound doctrines (See Section 6 in ABLR.)
In some cases, however, distributivity and commutativity are equivalent.
The same is true for finite products and sifted colimits.
The distributivity of finite products over arbitrary coproducts is the most classical version.
See distributivity for monoidal structures for various generalizations.
See Theorem 5.13 and Lemma 5.14 in ALR.
In particular, this includes Set.
In a number of interesting cases this functor is inclusion.

The point is an (E,M)-generator.
Note that this category is not E-well-copowered.
The base field is an (E,M)-generator.
For example, this terminology is used in Adámek et. al..

This are the “round traces”.
Since k is perfect Frobenius is an automorphism.
On the left we have the category of affine commutative unipotent group schemes.
Thus every element of D(G) is killed by a power of V.
This is called the Dieudonne ring?.
We have a canonical way to consider D(G) as a left D-module.
This turns out to be an anti-equivalence of categories.

This notion is the dual to the more popular one of maximal ideal.

Thus F defines a subspace F⊆3 X.
Under UP, the product space 3 X is compact Hausdorff.
We claim F is closed.
This means that for any finite A⊆X there exists g∈F with f| A=g| A.
Thus F is closed, and therefore compact.
Thus T=⋂ x∈XC x is inhabited by compactness of F.

Augustin-Louis Cauchy was a pioneer in analysis and group theory.
He wrote an influential 1821 textbook, Cours d'Analyse.
Cauchy described the basic concepts of differential and integral calculus in terms of limits.

Therefore this is often called the “adiabatic switching” function, or similar.

Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space over some ground field k.
(embedding tensors induce tensor hierarchies)
Note that if R is commutative then (i) implies (UF).
Such spaces include (pseudo)metric spaces and topological groups.
The relationship with gauge spaces (defined below) also allows for another definition.
If U,V are entourages, so is some subset of U∩V.
In light of axiom (6), it follows that U∩V is an entourage.
If U is an entourage and U⊆V⊆X×X, then V is an entourage.
A set equipped with a uniform structure is called a uniform space.
A collection satisfying (1–3) is a preuniformity.
There is an entourage U∈S and elements x∈X and y∈X such that x≈ Uy.
An equivalent way to characterize a uniform space is by its collection of uniform covers.
Here a cover of a set X is a collection C⊆P(X) with union X.
This defines a bijection between entourage uniformities and covering uniformities.
In classical mathematics, the uniform topology is always regular and indeed completely regular.
There is an obvious concrete category Unif of uniform spaces and uniformly continuous maps.
(One can similarly define a Cauchy filter.
This definition makes a uniform space into a Cauchy space.)
This definition makes a uniform space into a convergence space.)
(This is a purely topological concept.)
This inequality is tight exactly when the uniform space is Hausdorff.
(The other axioms are easy.)
Every quasi(pseudo)metric space is a quasiuniform space in the same way.
We can also generalise from metric spaces to gauge spaces; see under Variations below.
I wonder if that has anything to do with Haar measure?)
In particular, any Banach space or Lie group is a uniform space.
Define x≈ Uy to mean that x∈yU (or y∈xU for the other way).
These are in a way the motivating examples.
We can also form certain uniformities on function spaces.
See also the discussion below on the relation with metric and pseudometric spaces.
Of course, this follows from the fact that it is completely regular.
Every uniform space embeds uniformly in a product of pseudometric spaces.
admits a unique uniformity whose corresponding topology is the topology of X.
The entourages of this uniformity are precisely the neighborhoods of the diagonal in X×X.
Finally, uniform spaces and uniformly continuous maps form a category Unif.
See Isbell, Chapter III, particularly Theorem 26 p46
See Isbell, exercise III.7, p53
This makes the discussion of completions slightly simpler.
Perhaps surprisingly, every topological space is quasiuniformisable.
In weak foundations of mathematics, the theorems above may not be provable.
Altogether, these may be seen as axiomatising the notion of approximate equivalence.
Of course, it is a uniform space just when it is also symmetric.
Axiom 1 says that there is a unique big subset in F X({•}).
Gödel’s constructible universe is a transitive big class.
We follow (Rezk 14).
Whatever terminology one uses, the following are the key definitions.
The following is the global equivariant indexing category.
Another variant is O gl of (Schwede 13).
The following is the global orbit category.
The following defines the global equivariant homotopy theory PSh ∞(Glo).

This is a full and faithful (∞,1)-functor.

This is also called the category of presheaves on 𝒞.
This is the standard notation used mostly in pure category theory and enriched category theory.
And every such value extends to a natural transformation η.
Moreover this is natural in both a and F. Proof.
, we have 1 a:ya(a), so that α a(1 a):Fa.
To show that these are inverses, first suppose given x:Fa.
Thus, both composites are equal to identities.
The proof of naturality follows from this.
□ Corollary 9.5.6 The Yoneda embedding y:A→Set A op is fully faithful.
The Yoneda lemma has the following direct consequences.
There is a Yoneda lemma for bicategories.
There is a Yoneda lemma for tricategories.
There is a Yoneda lemma for (∞,1)-categories.
The assumption of naturality is necessary for the Yoneda lemma to hold.
For some of the details see at regular semicategory and the references therein.
See there for a detailed account.
The Yoneda lemma is effectively the reason that Isbell conjugation exists.
This is a fundamental duality that relates geometry and algebra in large part of mathematics.
In Categories for the Working Mathematician MacLane writes that this happened in 1954.
In particular, the notion makes sense in a topos.
Here is an explicit ‘external’ proof:
Now consider x<x′, and let a be a generalised element of Γ.
Suppose that x,x′:R both satisfy the required properties, and suppose that x#x′.
Now suppose that x<x′.
It follows that x belongs to L, so x<x.
Therefore, x#x′ is false.
However, the argument works for a geometric Heyting category or a topos.
We usually speak of the RNO, if one exists.
Thus, we still have three different constructions to consider.)
The Dedekind real numbers object of ℰ is the object of all Dedekind cuts.
To be more precise, we will need to make some auxiliary definitions.
We first construct an integers object as follows.
We denote by 𝒫(A) the power object of A in ℰ.
(Hence, Δ and Γ are the components of a geometric morphism Sh(X)→Set.)
However, the finite limits are not necessary; see also below.
In a general sheaf topos We can generalize the above theorem as follows.
We have an induced functor L:S→Loc.
We can also regard the ordinary real numbers ℝ as a locale.
There is some dispute about this, see here.
Resolution seems to be here Generalizations Cauchy real numbers
(In physics the irreducible representation in this context here are called the supermultiplets.)
See (Etingof-Gelaki 02) for more.
This allows to speak of commutative algebra internal to tensor categories.
Specializing this to the tensor category of super vector spaces yields supercommutative superalgebras.
The formal duals of these are the affine super schemes.
This we discuss in Commutative algebra in tensor categories and Affine super-spaces
This is the category inside which linear algebra takes place.
This is traditionally captured by the following terminology for additive and abelian categories.
Let 𝒞 be a category.
We write V⊕W for the direct sum of two objects of 𝒞.
Recall the basic construction of the tensor product of vector spaces:
This defines a category, denoted Vect G.
For proof see at monoidal category this lemma and this lemma.
A key such property is commutativity.
We will see below that this is the very source of superalgebra.
As in example , this definition makes ℤ/2 a monoidal category def. .
(See at looping and delooping).
We write k 1|0 and k 0|1 for these, respectively.
Write Line˜(Vect ℤ/2) for the resulting 2-group.
One finds (…) H 4(K(ℤ/2,3),ℤ/2)≃ℤ/2.
The following is evident but important
, extends to a braided monoidal functor (def. ).
Accordingly, it is also called the internal hom between Y and Z.
Proof Let A∈𝒞 be any object.
In both cases this is a strong monoidal functor (def. )
We now discuss one more extra property on monoidal categories
We say that A * is the right dual object to A.
There are slight variants of what people mean by a “tensor category”.
In this form this is considered in (Deligne 02, 0.1).
We consider now various types of size constraints on tensor categories.
Let 𝒞 be an abelian category.
It has a single isomorphism class of simple objects, namely k itself.
Also category of finite dimensional super vector spaces is a finite tensor category.
The following is the main size constraint needed in the theorem.
The evident example is the following:
This is made precise by def. and ef. below.
This duality between certain spaces and their algebras of functions is profound.
In the physics literature, such spaces are usually just called superspaces.
We now make this precise.
Similarly a commutative monoid in Vect is an ordinary commutative algebra.
Moreover, in both cases the homomorphisms of monoids agree with usual algebra homomorphisms.
Hence there are equivalences of categories.
Example motivates the following definition:
Hence the heart of superalgebra is super-commutativity.
Hence this regards a commutative algebra as a superalgebra concentrated in even degree.
We also call this the affine scheme of A.
We also call this the algebra of functions on X. Definition
See at geometry of physics – supergeometry for more on this.
Monoids are preserved by lax monoidal functors:
A key such construction is that of vector bundles over X.
Write Γ X(V) for the set of all such sections.
Observe that this set inherits various extra structure.
This hence yields a new section c 1σ 1+c 2σ 2.
Hence the set of sections of a vector bundle naturally forms itself a vector space.
But there is more structure.
This operation enjoys some evident properties.
These “generalized vector bundles” are called “quasicoherent sheaves” over affines.
We now state the relevant definitions and constructions formally.
The action property holds due to lemma .
Then k[G]-modules in Vect are equivalently linear representations of G. Proposition
The A-modules of this form are called free modules.
This natural bijection between f and f˜ establishes the adjunction.
To that end, we check the universal property of the coequalizer:
Hence the diagram says that ϕ∘μ=f, which we needed to show.
For that let q:A→Q be any other morphism with q∘μ=f.
The commutativity of this diagram says that q=ϕ.
Then consider the two conditions on the unit e E:A⟶E.
The following says that these may be computed just as the tensor product of modules:
By definition, every tensor category is an abelian category (def. ).
Hence all coequalizers exist, in particlar the split coequalizers required in prop. .
Moreover, by definition every tensor category is a rigid monoidal category.
These are of course the Lie groups.
But here we need to consider groups with more general geometric structure.
The key to the generalization is to regard spaces dually via their algebras of functions.
The resulting algebraic structure is called a Hopf algebra.
The identity morphism (going upwards in the above diagram) is the diagonal.
Observe that here the two morphisms ℤ[
For background on spectral sequences see Introduction to Spectral Sequences.
For background on stable homotopy theory see Introduction to Stable homotopy theory.
For background on complex oriented cohomology see Introduction to Cobordism and Complex Oriented Cohomology.
These are the basic invariants of stable homotopy theory, the stable homotopy groups.
(We compute the first dozen of these, 2-locally, below.)
These break up computations of stable homotopy groups along chosen filtrations on spectra.
This is the E-Adams spectral sequence which we discuss here.
First we set up the general theory of E-Adams spectral sequences.
(We consider examples and applications further below.)
But for the present purpose we stick with the simpler special case of def. .
There is no condition on the morphisms in def. .
Next we turn to extracting information from this sequence of sequences.
This is straightforward to check.
For completeness we spell it out:
First consider that the morphisms are well defined in the first place.
It is clear that i˜ is well-defined.
That k˜ vanishes on im(d): because im(d)⊂im(j) and hence by exactness.
By exactness this is im(i).
The kernel of i˜ is ker(i)∩im(i)≃im(k)∩im(i), by exactness.
is sometimes called the Boardman homomorphism (Adams 74, p. 58).
where we write E¯ p≔E¯∧⋯∧E¯⏟pfactors∧Y.
Assume then by induction that it holds for some p≥0.
The condition needed for this to work is the following.
First consider the case that X≃Σ n𝕊 is a suspension of the sphere spectrum.
Therefore in this case we have an isomorphism for all E.
Hence the 5-lemma implies that also the middle morphism is an isomorphism.
This shows the claim inductively for all finite CW-spectra.
We now first discuss what this means.
The identity morphism (going upwards in the above diagram) is the diagonal.
All of the following rich structure is directly modeled on this simplistic example.
These two actions need not strictly coincide, but they are isomorphic:
evidently carry a lot of structure.
But it may happen that they coincide:
It is now straightforward, if somewhat tedious, to check that:
A ring which is isomorphic to its core is called a solid ring.
Say that f has degree n if it increases degree by n.
This gives a ℤ-graded hom-group Hom Γ •(−,−).
This establishes a natural bijection N⟶fΓ⊗ ACN⟶f˜C and hence the adjunction in question.
Consider a commutative Hopf algebroid Γ over A, def. .
Regard A itself canonically as a right Γ-comodule via example .
This is the statement of lemma below.
One such case is exhibited by prop. below.
Hence the top horizontal morphism is an isomorphism, which was to be shown.
Consider the composite X⟶∨i∈IΣ |x i|E⟶N 1.
By remark the second page is the cochain cohomology of this complex.
By prop. it is a resolution by cofree comodules (def. ).
That these are F-acyclic is lemma below.
This means that the above long exact sequence collapses to short exact sequences.
The argument for the existence of cokernels proceeds formally dually.
Hence ΓCoMod is a pre-abelian category.
So the latter is in fact an abelian category itself.
Now by prop. we have the adjunction AMod⊥⟶co−free⟵forgetΓCoMod.
Hence ΓCoMod has enough injective objects (def.).
With lemma the proof of theorem is completed.
We give a precise discussion below in Localization and adic completion of abelian groups.
This we review below in Primary decomposition of abelian groups.
We discuss this localization of spectra below in Localization and nilpotent completion of spectra.
Notice that the p i need not all be distinct.
This is equivalently the cyclic group ℤ/p 1p 2ℤ≃ℤ/p 1ℤ⊕ℤ/p 2ℤ.
The isomorphism is given by sending 1 to (p 2,p 1).
The latter is the cyclic group of order p 1 2p 2.
That is, each partition of k yields an abelian group of order p k.
Let K be an abelian group.
Nakayama’s lemma is frequently stated in a general but slightly unilluminating form.
We begin with an easier and more intuitive form.
In this article, all rings are assumed to be commutative.
Let M be a finitely generated R-module.
Here is a sample application.
Equivalently, that if k⊗ Rf is epic, then f is epic.
Suppose O is a Noetherian local ring.
Being Noetherian, its maximal ideal 𝔪 is finitely generated.
Suppose k⊗ O𝔪≅𝔪/𝔪 2 – the cotangent space – is a vector space of dimension n.
We turn now to a general statement of Nakayama’s lemma.

For more technical details and further pointers see at string theory.
What is string theory?
(Or rather: its full incarnation remains unknown.
Then why not consider perturbative p-brane scattering for any p?
But the above two problems make a direct such analogy unlikely.
What are the equations of string theory?
But perturbative string theory is not a local field theory.
This is the equation that defines perturbative string theory.
Instead, all there is a formula for the outcome of scattering experiments.
For more on this see at amplituhedron.
Why is string theory controversial?
Notice that if so, this would be quite remarkable.
Then there are two possible standpoints, and they account for the controversy:
Moreover, many of these have good general agreement with presently observed data.
In such a case the field itself serves as an effective cosmological constant.
In string theory this happens with all the parameters.
From the perspective of “M-theory” even that disappears.
See at string theory – scales.)
That is why in string theory instead of adjusting parameters one searches solutions.
But very little is actually known to date.
This fact is what originally led to the strong interest in string theory.
It may be good to compare to established and (essentially) uncontroversial theories.
This model cannot be predicted by the theory of Einstein-gravity.
is well witnessed for instance by the early history of cosmology.
Similar descriptions can be given of the standard model of particle physics.
This, too, makes predictions that have been tested to fantastic accuracy.
But it does so only after lots and lots of parameters have been chosen.
None of this could be derived from first principles of quantum field theory.
In string theory it is just like this.
All other proposals for “beyond the standard model” physics share this problem.
See at string theory results applied elsewhere for more on this.
So all this was testable, has been tested and turned out to be wrong.
So model building in string theory is much as in QFT.
Was Einstein’s theory wrong?
No, his model within the theory was wrong.
It’s fundamentally a trial and error process, after all.
It either makes sense at all energies, or not at all.
They have all been checked to be so only in some approximation.)
The theory does not control it, it’s a free parameter.
We find that string theory avoids problems with nonlocality in a surprising way.
Does string theory predict supersymmetry?
It would be rather bizarre to live in a spacetime with such a property!
Now supersymmetry refers to a super Lie group extension of the Lorentz group.
(Mathematically this is now the situation of super Cartan geometry.)
Contrary to that, local supersymmetry is rather generic in low dimensions.
(See the references here.)
Ever since the spinning string is called the superstring.
On the other hand, in low worldvolume dimension this tends to be inevitable.
What is a string vacuum?
This is then called a perturbative string theory vacuum.
But this is in general a coarse approximation.
How/why does string theory depend on “backgrounds”?
The series itself represents the original function restricted to the formal neighbourhood of that point.
Such a solution is also called a vacuum or a background of the quantum theory.
By design, all this applies also to perturbative string theory.
But this remains a conjecture.
Consistency arguments for this speculation have been given in (Witten xy).
Did string theory provide any insight relevant in experimental particle physics?
One of this has led to recent progress simply in computational tools of perturbation series.
Details on this are linked to at string theory results applied elsewhere.
(Seiberg duality for instance, long list will go here…)
But this is a bit like a soccer match with a pingpong ball.
What would be needed here is an understanding of non-perturbative string theory.
More on how this works is at black holes in string theory.
But if so, it has not surfaced so far.
What is the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory?
So the two are different.
It turns out that only rather special ones do.
(Sometimes people forget what it takes to defined a full 2d CFT.
Isn’t it fatal that the string perturbation series does not converge?
Nevertheless, the sum over all these contributions diverges.
Does this mean that perturbative string theory is unrealistic from the get go?
See at non-perturbative effect for more.
How do strings model massive particles?
In string phenomenology therefore all fundamental particles correspond to ground state excitations of strings.
How is string theory related to the theory of gravity?
Do the extra dimensions lead to instability of 4 dimensional spacetime?
This problem used to be open until around 2002.
Since these are generically topologically complicated, they have comparatively large numbers of cycles.

These should correspond to symmetric multicategories.
They should correspond to cartesian multicategories.

In particular they make sense in the context of supergeometry.
This means that they carry natural intrinsic torsion of a G-structure.
For more on this see also at torsion constraints of supergravity.
In particular super-Minkowski spacetimes carry non-trivial exceptional super Lie algebra cocycles.
This is the origin of much of higher Cartan geometry within super-Cartan geometry.
(In part I These authors speak of ‘Poincaré gravity’.
More general super-Cartan geometry apparently remains to be explored.
Recall the following from the discussion at geometry of physics – smooth sets.
We will set up supergeometry in direct analogy to this formulation of plain differential geometry.

Write SuperCAlg ℝ for the category of commutative superalgebras over ℝ. Definition
We write ℝ p|q∈SuperCartSp for the formal dual of C ∞(ℝ p|q).
Write SuperSmooth0Type≔Sh(SuperCartSp) for the sheaf topos over that site.
We call this the collection of smooth super spaces.
This is the topos that hosts traditional supergeometry.
It will be useful to make this explicit.
We call this the category of infinitesimally thickened points.
The sheaf topos FormalSmooth0Type≔Sh(CartSp⋊InfPoint) is traditionally known as the Cahiers topos.
Write 𝔻 for the formal dual of the algebra of dual numbers.
But derivations of algebras of smooth functions are equivalent to vector fields.
(See at derivations of smooth functions are vector fields).
We call this the category of infinitesimally thickened superpoints.
The further right adjoint R is the rheonomy modality.
For convenience, from now on we notationally abbreviate: H≔SuperFormalSmooth0Type.
We pronounce the operations in corollary as follows.
This is the input for the formulation of frame bundles below around prop. .
There are some further relations between the modalities to take note of:
This we get to below.
Below in Super Cartan geometry we then specify to the concrete particular super Cartan geometry.
Finally ⇝ preserves pullbacks (being in particular a right adjoint).
See also at geometry of physics – G-structure and Cartan geometry.
We call this the left invariant G-structure.
Consider any group homomorphism G→GL(V).
Indeed, this is a phenomenon known as the torsion constraints in supergravity.
This we come to now in Super-Cartan geometry for Supergravity.
This statement is the Bianchi identity.
Now to pass this to superalgebra.
Accordingly we write Ω 1(ℝ p|q,𝔤)≔Hom dgAlg(W(𝔤),Ω •(ℝ p|q)).
This issue is deal with by the concept of rheonomy.

A Heyting algebra H satisfies the countable chain condition iff Reg(H) does.
Let B be a complete Boolean algebra.
It is straightforward to verify that these assignments are inverse to one another.
Next we will need a result in combinatorial set theory.
Let 𝒜 be an uncountable collection of finite sets.
Then there is some uncountable subset ℬ⊆𝒜 that is a sunflower.
Without loss of generality, we may suppose all A∈𝒜 have the same cardinality n.
We argue by induction on n.
The case n=0 is trivial.
Assume the result holds for n, and suppose |A|=n+1 for all A∈𝒜.
Then induction goes through by forming the sunflower {B+{a}:B∈ℬ′}.
Otherwise, each a∈X belongs to at most countably many A∈𝒜.
(So here the common core S of the sunflower is the empty set.)
Let π S:X→∏ i∈SX i be the obvious projection map.
Suppose instead u∈π S(U α)∩π S(U α′).
Regard u∈∏ i∈SX i as a section of the canonical projection ∑ i∈SX i→S.
Then extend the amalgamation v∪w however you please to a full section σ″:A→∑ i∈AX i.
With this the proof is complete.
An arbitrary product of separable spaces X i satisfies the countable chain condition.
second-countable: there is a countable base of the topology.
metrisable: the topology is induced by a metric.
separable: there is a countable dense subset.
Lindelöf: every open cover has a countable sub-cover.
metacompact: every open cover has a point-finite open refinement.
first-countable: every point has a countable neighborhood base
second-countable spaces are Lindelöf.
weakly Lindelöf spaces with countably locally finite base are second countable.
separable metacompact spaces are Lindelöf.
Lindelöf spaces are trivially also weakly Lindelöf.
a first-countable space is obviously Fréchet-Urysohn.
a Fréchet-Uryson space is obviously sequential.
a sequential space is obviously countably tight.
paracompact spaces satisfying the countable chain condition are Lindelöf.

In particular, this implies that each X r is cofibrant in M.
For some M, M R also admits a projective or injective model structures.
For instance for M= SSet this is the global model structure on simplicial presheaves.
The dual statement concerning fibrant generation is in BHKKRS15, Thm. 5.9.
Recall that “combinatorial” means “locally presentable and cofibrantly generated”.
This appears as (Barwick, lemma 4.2, corollary 4.3).
(…check assumptions…)
We take the degree on the objects to be as indicated.
Then R −=R and R + contains only the identity morphisms.
the fibrant objects are the towers of fibrations on fibrant objects in C.
More details on this are currently at generalized Reedy model structure.
Proof The latching object at n is L n(Δ[−])=lim →(([k]→[n]inj.∈Δ)↦Δ[k]).
This is ∂Δ[n].
Proposition The fat simplex is Reedy cofibrant.
Hence it remains to show the claim about the colimit.

Let k be a field with characteristic char(k)≠2.
Also since the form is nondegenerate, there exists v∈V such that N(v)≠0.
From N(v)=N(ev)=N(e)N(v), it follows that N(e)=1.
and now we equate the right-hand sides and cancel to get the result.
The next few propositions develop properties of conjugation.
For all w we have ⟨u¯v¯,w⟩=⟨v¯,uw⟩=⟨v¯w¯,u⟩=⟨w¯,vu⟩=⟨vu¯,w⟩ using involution and unitarity.
The result follows from nondegeneracy of the form.
This last result has several interesting corollaries.
N(u)=0 implies u is a zero divisor, with u¯u=0.
The other equation is proven similarly.
For discussion of this in composition algebras, see the section on Moufang identities below.
We begin with a simple observation:
This α is invertible, so α⋅W has the same dimension as W.
Indeed, αW is orthogonal to W.
It follows that W+αW has double the dimension of W.
Now let us fix such an α, and put λ=N(α).
It follows that the form on V, when restricted to W+αW, is nondegenerate.
Indeed, the possible structures of composition algebras are very tightly constrained.
These identities, combined with nondegeneracy of the form, give the result.
Possible dimensions are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
Then W is an associative composition algebra.
Suppose V=W+αW is an associative composition algebra.
Then W is a commutative, associative composition algebra.
Suppose V=W+αW is a commutative associative composition algebra.
Hence the doubling process may be iterated three times at most.
This same result can also be proven using string diagram calculus.
See this paper for a nice exposition of that route.
If so, then the composition algebra is called a split composition algebra.
We analyze each in turn.
, the result is immediate since N(rv+se)=r 2N(v)+s 2≥0
In particular, any division composition algebra is a normed division algebra.
We have the following possibilities.
The conjugate of s+jt is s−jt. dim(V)=4.
(Evidently V is not commutative because W is not purely real.)
Conjugation is given by the usual operation a+bi+cj+dk↦a−bi−cj−dk dim(V)=8.
(V is not associative because W is not commutative.)
Thus, we have established the Hurwitz theorem Theorem (Hurwitz)
Now we turn to split composition algebras V.
Suppose V=W+αW, where α∈W ⊥, N(α)≠0.
Put j=α/|N(α)| 1/2, so |N(j)|=1, V=W+jW.
In addition to the trivial 1-dimensional case, we have the following possibilities.
The norm of an element xe 1+ye 2 is N(xe 1+ye 2)=xy. dim(V)=4.
Let i be an imaginary unit of W, so i¯=−i and |N(i)|=1.
In other words, (uv)(wu)=(u(vw))(eu)=(u(vw))u,(uv)(wu)=(ue)((vw)u)=u((vw)u) which completes the proof.
We give a tensor categorical argument.”
The category of numerical motives is a semisimple abelian category.

Elementary embeddings are natural transformations between these functors.
We also say here that N is an elementary extension of M.
The required pullback condition is satisfied on atomic formulas, by definition of substructure.
This completes the inductive proof.
Another application is described at Löwenheim-Skolem theorem.
Now suppose f preserves and reflects first-order logic.
The structural meaning of elementary embeddings seems not to be well-explored.
However, having such an e.e. turns out to be inconsistent…sort of.

Such functors are called presheaves.
Equivalently this may be thought of as a contravariant functor F:C→Set.
Hence “presheaf” is a concept with an attitude.
As such, it is an example of a functor category.
The Yoneda embedding sends each object c∈C to the presheaf F(−)=hom(−,c)
See also at co-Yoneda lemma.
Then the colimit over representables expression F is F≃colim (Y(V)→F)∈C F(Y∘p).
This is often written with some convenient abuse of notation as F≃colim V→FV.
Then rephrasing this, α specifies a function F(V)→B(V).
The naturality of this assignment is guaranteed by the naturality of the map α.
Then α induces a natural transformation k α:F→B.

In ordinary category theory, any comma square is always exact.
Exact squares can be characterized in several ways, which generalize in different directions.
Note that D(1,g)∘D(v,1)≅D(v,g) by Yoneda reduction.
However, in the Set-based case, we can go further.
We can state this equivalently as follows.
This is the standard combinatorial characterization of a final functor.
Another approach is to argue as follows.
(Note that this ejects us from the world of enriched categories already.)
So the given square is exact just when all of these squares are exact.

There is no connection to the concept of cartesian bicategory.
Many interval objects are cocategory objects.
For example, the arrow category is a cocategory object in Cat.
Any coalgebra object is a cocategory object.
This includes corings, Hopf algebroids, cogroupoids?, etc.
These represent the discrete category functor and the codiscrete category functors Set→Cat, respectively.
This situation is discussed at distributivity of limits over colimits.
Exponentiability is a local property:
If a Grothendieck topos ℰ is exponentiable so is ℰ/X for any object X∈ℰ.
This occurs as lemma 4.2 in Johnstone-Joyal (1982, p.281).
Continuity also leaves a lattice-theoretic trace:
This occurs as lemma 5.1 in Johnstone-Joyal (1982, p.287).
This includes in particular all presheaf toposes on small categories.
An example of the latter is the Sierpinski topos 𝒮 2.
Now consider an arbitrary topos ℰ classifying a geometric theory 𝕋.
Compare also the remarks of Anel (2015) on the ∞-case.

Pivotal categories have also been called “sovereign categories.”
This is a kind of category with duals.
For this isomorphism to be natural we need a pivotal structure.
This can be made explicit, and gives an alternative definition of pivotal.
We graphically define the distinguished morphisms
The following properties are satisfied: These morphisms satisfy the rigidity axioms.
This gives a bijection between pivotal categories and rigid categories with duals satisfying these axioms.

This assignment is called the parallel transport of the connection.
This may be equivalently but more succinctly be formulated as follows:
We say diffeological groupoid for an internal groupoid in the category of diffeological spaces.
Moreover, this functor uniquely characterizes the connection on P that it comes from.
This means that we may identify connections on P with their parallel transport functors.
But even the bundle P itself is encoded in such functors.
Its morphisms are full homotopy-classes of paths.
In terms of this, parallel transport is a solution to a differential equation.
This is called a path-ordered integral.
The “P” in the above formula is short for “path ordering”.
Possibly this notation originates in physics where the above is known as the Dyson formula.
See higher parallel transport for details.
There are many equivalent statements of the ordinary definition of a connection on a bundle.

Any 2-category has a bicategory of maps.
Consequently, the bicategory of maps of an allegory is a category.
These constructions are inverse, so tabular allegories are equivalent to locally regular categories.
Thus, regular categories are equivalent to unital (or unitary) tabular allegories.
Thus a union allegory is locally a lattice.
If additionally it is locally a distributive lattice, it is called a distributive allegory.
But in either case the adjunction i⊣P is fundamental.
The exact definition of power allegory is a matter for consideration.

Python 3.0 has adopted mathematical notation for sets, enclosing them in curly brackets.

Now I need the pair of arrows i and j.
I’ll define these as functions:
[Explain somewhere why I have made a and b not subsets of c.
In category theory, essential parts of every arrow are its source and its target.
This is so even if their mappings are the same.
[Perhaps I’ll show a version later that does represent arrows.
Use a dict with source, target, and body fields.]
Now I’ll show the definition of coproduct again:

The rational numbers ℚ are a prefield ring.
The trivial ring is also the terminal prefield.
Let F be a discrete field and let F¯ be the algebraic closure of F.
Non-example: the integers ℤ are not a prefield ring.
Bertrand’s postulate is the following.
We record the proof (of the formulation in Remark ).
Without loss of generality, suppose that p 1 has this property.
Suppose instead that n is prime.
Then n+1 is composite, since it must be divisible by 2.
Without loss of generality, suppose that p 1′ has this property.
Moreover, p 1′ is not equal to 2n, since 2n is not prime.
We deduce that p 1′<2n, as required.
The distributions arising this way are called the non-singular distributions.
For n∈ℕ let ϕ∈𝒟′(ℝ n) be a distribution.
Non-singular distributions are dense in all distributions

The standard phrase “the big topos of X” is the most descriptive.
This fact relating the big and little toposes of X also holds in other cases.
A general object in this topos can be regarded as an etale space over X.
The space X itself is incarnated as the terminal object X=*∈Sh(X).
See for instance, topological topos and the quasi-topos of quasitopological spaces.

The following is Hegel on Anaxagoras in his Lectures on the History of Philosophy.
Der Tisch ist auch vernünftig gemacht, aber es ist ein äußerlicher Verstand diesem Holze.
Vor seiner Philosophie haben wir seine Lebensumstände zu betrachten.
Anaxagoras lebte in der großen Zeit zwischen den medischen Kriegen und dem Zeitalter des Perikles.
Anaxagoras schließt diese Periode, nach ihm beginnt eine neue.
Perikles suchte den Anaxagoras auf und lebte mit ihm in sehr vertrautem Umgang.
Athens ist im Gegensatze Lakedämons zu erwähnen, – der Prinzipien dieser berühmten Staaten.
Keine Kunst und Wissenschaft war bei den Lakedämoniern.
Lakedämon ist ebenso seiner Verfassung nach hochzuachten
Bei den Atheniensern war auch Demokratie und reinere Demokratie als in Sparta.
So sehen wir in diesem Prinzip die Freiheit der Individualität in ihrer Größe auftreten.
Er lebte etwas früher als Sokrates, aber sie kannten sich noch.
Er kam in dieser Zeit, deren Prinzip eben angegeben ist, nach Athen.
Athen war der Sitz, ein Kranz von Sternen der Kunst und Wissenschaft.
Es tritt Gegensatz der Prosa des Verstandes gegen poetisch religiöse Ansicht ein.

Dinge kann man herleiten von Denken.
Dieser Übergang solcher mythischen Ansicht zur prosaischen kommt hier zum Bewußtsein der Athenienser.
Im Anaxagoras tut sich ein ganz anderes Reich auf.
Andere haben viel historische Untersuchungen über diesen Hermotimos angestellt.
Dieser Name kommt noch einmal vor:
Die Einfachheit des nous ist nicht ein Sein, sondern Allgemeinheit (Einheit).
Dies Allgemeine für sich, abgetrennt, existiert rein nur als Denken.
Wie Anaxagoras den nous erklärt, den Begriff desselben gegeben, gibt Aristoteles näher an
»Nous ist ihm (Anaxagoras) dasselbe mit Seele.
Dies ist das in sich Konkrete.
Darin liegt 7) Zweck, das Gute.
In der Objektivität hat sich der Zweck erhalten.
Dies ist, daß der Zweck das Wahrhafte, die Seele einer Sache ist.
Aber das Verhältnis seiner Tätigkeit bleibt nicht mechanisch, chemisch.

Actual re-normalization is the the change of such normalizations.
This is called Epstein-Glaser renormalization.
This is called (“re”-)normalization by UV-Regularization via Counterterms.
This still leaves open the question how to choose the counterterms.
This is the perspective of effective quantum field theory (remark below).
states that different S-matrix schemes are precisely related by vertex redefinitions.
This yields the Stückelberg-Petermann renormalization group.
This is known as Renormalization group flow
This conclusion is theorem below.
Following this, statement and detailed proof appeared in (Brunetti-Fredenhagen 99).
Then we show that these unique products on these special subsets do coincide on intersections.
This yields the claim by a partition of unity.
This induces the operation of restriction of distributions 𝒟′(X^)⟶ι *𝒟′(X).
Write χ≔1−b∈C ∞(ℝ n) graphics grabbed from Dütsch 18, p. 108
and for λ∈(0,∞) a positive real number, write χ λ(x)≔χ(λx).
This is shown in (Brunetti-Fredenhagen 00, p. 24).
This is essentially (Hörmander 90, thm. 3.2.4).
Therefore to conclude it is now sufficient to show that deg(u∘p ρ^)=ρ.
This is shown in (Brunetti-Fredenhagen 00, p. 25).
By prop. this always exists.
This proves the first statement.
This directly implies the claim.
(any two S-matrix renormalization schemes differ by unique vertex redefinition)
The condition “perturbation” is immediate from the corresponding condition on 𝒮 and 𝒮′.
It only remains to see that Z k indeed takes values in local observables.
In conclusion this establishes the following pivotal statement of perturbative quantum field theory:
Typically one imposes a set of renormalization conditions (def. )
considers the corresponding subgroup of vertex redefinitions preserving these conditions.
; every S-matrix scheme around the given vacuum arises this way.
We will construct that 𝒵 Λ in terms of these projections p ρ.
First consider some convenient shorthand: For n∈ℕ, write 𝒵 ≤n≔∑1∈{1,⋯,n}1n!Z n.
We proceed by induction over n∈ℕ.
This means that Z n+1,Λ is supported on the diagonal, and is hence local.
Inserting this for the first summand in (17) shows that limΛ→∞K n+1,Λ=0.
is called a choice of counterterms at cutoff scale Λ.
(effective S-matrix schemes are invertible functions)
This is similar to a group of UV-cutoff scale-transformations.
This is often called the Wilsonian RG.
This goes back to (Polchinski 84, (27)).
In this case the choice of ("re"-)normalization hence “flows with scale”.
This implies the equation itself.
scaling transformations are renormalization group flow)
This concludes our discussion of renormalization.

But in view of the first item above, this would be a moot point.
It may very well be that Witten's Dark Fantasy is phenomenologicaly unviable.
More abstractly one says that such higher gauge fields are cocycles in ordinary differential cohomology.
The canonical example of this phenomenon is the RR-field in string theory.
These rules will appear in the type formation rule for dependent product types below.
From the above input data we derive the following
The operators λ and ∏ bind the variable x.
The typing of terms is inductively defined by the following rules.
Note that types are also terms.
The other systems omit some of the last three rules.

Idea A supermanifold is a space locally modeled on Cartesian spaces and superpoints.
There are different approaches to the definition and theory of supermanifolds in the literature.
The definition As locally ringed spaces is popular.
See at geometry of physics – supergeometry the section Supermanifolds.
With the obvious morphisms of ringed space this forms the category SDiff of supermanifolds.
This is usually denoted by ΠE. Example
But we have the following useful characterization of morphisms of supermanifolds:
Let SuperPoint be the category of superpoints.
See (Sachse) and the references at super ∞-groupoid.
See also this post at Theoretical Atlas.
This appears as (Sachse, def. 4.6).
We now want to describe supermanifolds as manifolds in SuperSet modeled on superdomains.
Write SmoothMfd for the category of ordinary smooth manifolds.
This appears as (Sachse, def. 4.13, 4.14).

Conversely, assume that A∩S⊂A and B∩S⊂B are open.
We need to show that then S⊂X is open.
Consider now first the case that A;B⊂X are both open open.
Now consider the case that A,B⊂X are both closed subsets.
This exhibits S as the intersection of two open subsets, hence as open.

Conversely, let i:X→Y be a topological subspace embedding.

Idea Schur’s lemma is one of the fundamental facts of representation theory.
It concerns basic properties of the hom-sets between irreducible linear representations of groups.
Let G be a group.
It follows that the endomorphism ring of an irreducible representation is a division ring.
But then, by the first part, this must be an isomorphism or zero.
The statement of Schur’s lemma is particularly suggestive in the language of categorical algebra.
We now explain this perspective of in more detail:
(GRep is canonically enriched over Vect.)
This commutative ring is called the representation ring R(G)≔K(GRep /∼ fin) of G.

In general, a Lorentzian manifold does not have globally defined timelike continuous vector fields.
Sometimes only Lorentzian manifolds admitting a time orientation are also called spacetimes.
Equivalently, in this case x lies in the past of y.

This is theorem 8.1.3 in the book of Wald.
The objects of this category are the points of X.
A morphism x→y is a pair of points x≤y with y in the future of x.
Composition of morphisms is transitivity of the relation.
The identity morphism on x is the reflexivity x≤x.
But more generally, to a smooth (∞,1)-category is associated a path (∞,1)-category.

This defines the diffeological space (P 1(X)).

Let D be a convex space.
The norm function ℂ→ℝ is convex.
This follows readily from multiplicativity |xy|=|x|⋅|y| and the triangle inequality |x+y|≤|x|+|y|.
Any positive ℝ-linear combination of convex functions on D is again convex.
The pointwise maximum of two convex functions on D is again convex.
In the next two examples, I⊆ℝ is an interval.
It is not generally true that a composition D→gI→fℝ of convex functions is convex.
We see then that log-convex functions are also convex.
This is enough to force continuity at the point x 0.
In the converse direction, we have the following result which frequently arises in practice.

There are various flavors of the definition.
However, there is no saturation condition in this definition.
See also at locally presentable categories - introduction.
There are many equivalent characterizations of locally presentable categories.
The following is one of the most intuitive, equivalent characterizations are discussed below.
A locally ℵ 0-presentable category is called a locally finitely presentable category.
This is Adámek & Rosický (1994), corollary 1.52.
For the more detailed statement see below at Gabriel-Ulmer duality.
Locally presentable categories are complete.
Every locally presentable category is also well-copowered.
So all finite sets are ?0-compact.
TopologicalSpaces is not locally finitely presentable.
This is Gabriel-Ulmer, Satz 7.13.
They are important for the general study of (∞,1)-categories.
This implies that all representables in a sheaf topos are κ-compact objects.
This appears in Adámek & Rosický (1994), 2.78.
This is Adámek & Rosický (1994), Cor. 1.54
See at Functor category – Local presentability for more.
This appears for instance as Centazzo-Rosický-Vitale, remark 3.
Another notion of “presentable category” is that of an equationally presentable category.
Locally presentable categories are a special case of locally bounded categories.
Cocomplete possibly-large categories generated under filtered colimits by small generators under small relations.
This hence relates entailment in the metalanguage with implication in the object language.
This point, if unique, is called the center of rotation.
This line or plane is called the axis of rotation.
The rotation in 2d is determined by its center and the oriented angle of rotation.
The restriction of a rotation to this subspace is a rotation of the plane.
(Orientation should be discussed here.)
The group of rotations is SO(3,R), below just called SO(3).
The composition of rotations corresponds to the multiplication of quaternions.
The structure focuses on the events and the causal ordering between them.
A restricted but simpler definition is as follows:
Event structures with binary conflict can be characterised as follows: Proposition
We write E for (E,≤,Con) whenever possible.
The possible states of an event structures are called configurations.
Let E be an event structure.
The set of finite configurations of E is denoted 𝒞(E).
expresses that all executions of E can be faithfully simulated within E′.

The index theorem asserts that the two are equal.
The index theorem generalizes earlier results such as the Riemann-Roch theorem.

Very often we do this in the slice category C/X for some object X.
Yet more specifically, let the families of subsets be indexed by themselves.
On these we have the smooth universal class dd:BPU→B 2U(1).
(If they all exist, then one speaks of a cartesian monoidal category.
With some care, we can remove the restriction to small categories.)
From a structural perspective, however, this is unnecessary.)
More commentary on this in more general contexts will be given below.
For instance, the category Pos of posets is a reflective subcategory of Preord.
For example, the category CG of compactly generated spaces is coreflective in Top.
Products in C op are given by coproducts in C.
In some cases, this formal tautology gives the only sensible way to construct products.
For instance, this is how products of cocommutative coalgebras are formed.
This applies for instance to cocommutative Hopf algebras.
However, this is usually not the case for infinite products.
For such examples, finite products are absolute limits.
In the Cat the cartesian product is the product of categories.

The left adjoint p * is therefore a Lawvere distribution.
This sends any (∞,1)-sheaf to its stalk at the point p.
So this behaves like the Dirac distribution on functions.

This article is about the general concept of branes.
In an open-closed QFT the cobordisms are allowed to have boundaries.
See at boundary field theory for more on this.
But abstractly defined QFTs may arise from quantization of sigma models.
This gives these boundary data a geometric interpretation in some space.
This we discuss in the next section.
Particularly the A-model and the B-model are well understood.
And typically these submanifolds themselves carry their own background gauge field data.
These may be quite far from having a direct interpretation as submanifolds of G.
In string theory one speaks apart from the D-branes also about fundamental branes .
These are the objects Σ in the n-dimensional sigma model themselves.
For n=0 this describes the ordinary quantum mechanics of a point particles on X.
For n=2 this describes the quantum propagation of a membrane.

Note that the categories involved are not toposes and even lack a terminal object!
The localization is called essential when the reflection has furthermore a left adjoint.
If l⊣r⊣i is an essential localization then l is also full and faithful.
We say that j co-resolves i if □ j◯ i=◯ i.
If j resolves and co-resolves i we say that j bi-resolves i.
The Aufhebung of a level is the smallest level that resolves its opposites or contradictions.
The Aufhebungs relation is also called the jump operator in Lawvere (2009).
For more on the relevant metaphysical modalities see at adjoint modality.
Conversely, assume that (♭X≃∅)⇔(X≃∅).

Let 𝒞 be a finitely complete category.
The following is immediate:
Lawvere introduced the Hegelian concepts in Lawvere (1989b).
Kelly-Lawvere (1989) provides the technical prerequisites on essential localizations for Aufhebung.

Of course, any orthogonal factorization system gives plenty of examples.
Dually, a strong monomorphism is a monomorphism in (Epi) ⊥.
Here we define f⊥X to mean f⊥!:X→1.
The orthogonal subcategory problem is related to localization.
Certainly r sends arrows in Σ to isomorphisms in Σ ⊥.

Therefore sSet + is not a balanced category, hence cannot be a topos.
The category sSet + is a cartesian closed category.
This is an immediate consequence of the above observation that sSet + is a quasitopos.
But it is useful to spell out the Cartesian closure in detail.

Here is a proof in the language of category theory:
Alternatively, here is a proof in the language of basic topology:
With classical logic we may equivalently show the contrapositive: That f≠g implies f∘i≠g∘i.
So assume that f≠g.
This means that there exists x∈X with f(x)≠g(x).
This means that f∘i≠g∘i.
Some forms of predicative mathematics find this concept more useful.

A homomorphism of C *-algebras is a map that preserves all this structure.
For this it is sufficient for it to be a star-algebra homomorphisms.
C *-algebras with these homomorphisms form a category C*Alg.
However, we now usually interpret ‘C *-algebra’ abstractly.
C *-algebras are monadic over sets.
See also operator algebras.
Many C *-algebras arise as groupoid algebras of Lie groupoids.
For more see at homotopical structure on C*-algebras.
In particular M n(ℂ) is a C *-algebra for all n∈ℕ.
This algebra is denoted C 0(X,A)∈C *Alg.
If A=ℂ then one usually just writes C 0(X)≔C 0(X,ℂ).
This are the C *-algebras to which the Gelfand duality theorem applies.

Recall that a topological space is a set X equipped with a topological structure 𝒯.
Unlike with bialgebras, no compatibility condition is required between these structures.
Bitopological spaces and bicontinuous maps form a category BiTop.
Hence Cl *(U) is a 𝒯 *-neighborhood of x.
For the converse suppose property (4).
This set is obviously a 𝒯 *-closed 𝒯-neighborhood of x.
This is the neighborhood we sought.
Let (X,𝒯,𝒯 *) be a bitopological space.
Let (X,𝒯,𝒯 *) be a bitopological space.

Not to be confused with the notion of coherence space in models of linear logic.
A coherent space is Hausdorff if and only if it is a Stone space.
Assuming the axiom of choice, coherent locales are automatically spatial.
The category of coherent locales is contravariantly equivalent to the category of distributive lattices.
The reader can probably think of other variations on this theme.

Thus we have a complete characterization of absolute coequalizers.
An first-order integrable almost Hermitian structure is a Kähler manifold structure.
The polycategorical compositions are obtained using the distributors.
Conversely, a polycategory that is suitably “representable” yields a linearly distributive category.
Note that such examples are almost never star-autonomous.
These examples satisfy the extra property that the distributors δ are isomorphisms.

Linearly distributive categories are to polycategories as monoidal categories are to multicategories.

This identification leads to a very fruitful identification of operations on types with logical operations.
(For instance, Coq and Agda are concrete machine implementations of such a language.
From this perspective, type theory provides a formal language for speaking about categories.
Type theory with such identity types properly implemented is thus called homotopy type theory.

How does type theory relate to logic?
Well, propositional logic is just the type theory whose semantic categories are posets.
Another way of describing this setup is as the subobject fibration cod:Sub(C)→C.
The functors ∃ π and ∀ π interpret the traditional existential and universal quantifiers.
Either one is called a “model” of T in C.

The original dependent type theory was Martin-Löf dependent type theory.
See, for instance, pure type systems and the calculus of constructions.
This corresponds to the syntax described above.
See the section on Extensional vs Intensional type theory, below.
Otherwise it is first-order.
(We have to deal with Prop specially in first-order logic.
You might as well say that 1 makes things higher-order because 1≅P0.
The second-order version of Peano Arithmetic has this property.
However, without modification, this naive idea fails for two reasons.
First of all, there might not be enough ground terms.
But this doesn’t work for most other theories.
Does the relation ∅∈{∅|φ} hold in the term model?
We have to make an arbitrary choice.
There is an important distinction between extensional type theories and intensional ones.
We say instead that these function types are intensional.
Per Martin-Löf‘s original dependent type theory is often presented from this perspective.
This matches the above observations about the axiom of choice.
I’m not sure that that’s so strange.
And I didn’t know that about COSHEP, why is that?
We merely have that the free set on that preset is projective if it exists.
You're right about the display maps; that part's not so strange.

For a more general concept see at dualizing object.
Note that we do not in general assume D∈𝒞 D.
Specifically in homological algebra one speaks also of dualizing modules.
If 𝒞=𝒞 D, we say that D is a global dualizing object.
This statement is often known as Joyal‘s lemma, recalled for instance in Abramsky 09.
So it remains to show C is a preorder.
Let x,y be any two objects.
The duality operation [−,I ℤ] that it induces is Anderson duality.
The double-dualization is therefore isomorphic to the identity A≅(A op) op.

Let A be a commutative (Hausdorff) topological group.
In solid state physics this example appears in the guise of the Brillouin torus.
In general, the dual of a discrete group is a compact group and conversely.
In particular, therefore, the dual of a finite group is again finite.
The finite cyclic groups are Pontrjagin self-dual: ℤ/n^≃ℤ/n.
For example: If A is finite, then A^ is finite.
If A is compact, then A^ is discrete.
(see also at nearby homomorphisms from compact Lie groups are conjugate)
If A is discrete, then A^ is compact.
If A is compactly generated, then A^ is a Lie group.
If A is second countable, then A^ is second countable.
If A is separable, then A^ is metrizable.

The induced topology is for that reason sometimes called the subspace topology on Y.
Such a map is referred to as a subspace inclusion.
Of course this is just another way to speak of the initial topology.
We write id⟶η ♯♯ for the unit morphism of this adjunction.
This implies the statement by Prop. .
In this form topological subspace inclusions are characterized in Shulman 15, Remark 3.14.
To prove that j is a subspace, let U⊆C be any open set.
It follows that j −1(W)=U, so that j is a subspace inclusion.

Now we invoke the following results:
We claim that the morphisms in W¯ form a calculus of fractions.
This shows that W¯ satisfies the first condition at factorization system.
This demonstrates the adjunction (L⊣i).
By the above proposition this is ⋯≃Sh C(L(j(U)),L(X)).
One such application is called the plus construction.
More details on this computation are at sheaf.
Therefore these are local isomorphisms.
So every presheaf is related by a local isomorphism to its sheafification.
I’m pretty sure it is not.

See absolute colimit for more.
Equivalently, since the Yoneda embedding is the free cocompletion of C:
We propose the following notion of split pushout.
See Isaacson, Def. 3.22.
Split pushouts are absolute pushouts
To that end consider, a cone under the span (p,q):
We must verify that b also factors as b=(bu)m.
This produces the desired factorization.
Finally, since m is an epimorphism, such factorizations are unique.
However, arbitrary functors do not preserve epimorphisms.
Define x=bu:P→X.
Conversely, suppose the given square is an absolute pushout.
Thus, in particular the induced square is a pushout in Set.
Now the induced square is also a pushout in Set.
Unraveling this explicitly produces the morphisms r i,s i.
This gives another proof that any split pushout is an absolute pushout.
Conversely, f is called the adjunct of f˜.

Consequently, this description is not viable for enriched adjunctions.
This description generalises to relative adjunctions by replacing Id C with J.
This follows from the fact that the adjunction L⊣R induces adjunctions −∘R⊣−∘L and L∘−⊣R∘−.
The other case is directly analogous.
Suppose that R 1,R 2:𝒞→𝒟 are two functors which are right adjoint to L.
The argument that shows the preservation of colimits by L is analogous.
A partial converse to Prop. is provided by the adjoint functor theorem.
See also Pointwise Expression below.
So L is faithful precisely if all x→RLx are monos.
The proof of the other statements proceeds analogously.

This appears as (Johnstone, lemma 1.1.1).
By the Eckmann-Hilton argument the endomorphism monoid of Id D is commutative.

Nearly every construction in differential topology starts with tangent or cotangent bundles.
We shall look at how one could define these in the more general setting.
(However in MR1471480, only operational tangent vectors have higher orders.
Let us start with kinematic tangent vectors.
We start with a notion of what it means for a curve to be flat.
It is flat at t∈ℝ if it is k-flat for all k∈ℕ.
Let (X,𝒞,ℱ) be a Frölicher space.
For Euclidean spaces with their usual structure, all of these tangent sets coincide.
Let (X,𝒞,ℱ) be a Frölicher space.
It is obvious that each of these kinematic tangent sets is functorial in Frölicher spaces.
Let X be a Frölicher space, x∈X.
Lemma Sums are unique if they exist.
The construction of kinematic tangent vectors suggests a similar construction for cotangent vectors.
As with tangent vectors, we need an auxiliary definition of flatness.
Let (X,𝒞,ℱ) be a Frölicher space, x∈X.
It is flat at x∈X if it is k-flat for all k∈ℕ.
Again, for convenience we will say that all functionals are 0-flat.
Let (X,𝒞,ℱ) be a Frölicher space, x∈X.
There are obvious pairings between kinematic tangent and cotangent vectors based on evaluation.
We can also define operational tangent vectors.
Recall that ℱ is an algebra of functions.
Let (X,𝒞,ℱ) be a Frölicher space, x∈X.
An operational tangent vector at x is a derivation at x of ℱ.
This has the required properties.

In this approach, atoms are empty.
We also add the axiom that says atoms are empty: (∀atoma)(∀x)x∉a.
Such models are closely related to categories of G-sets.
The following is the quick idea.
For a detailed introduction see Introduction to Topological K-Theory.
This simple construction turns out to yield remarkably useful groups of homotopy invariants.
As such it is represented by a spectrum.
For k=ℂ this is called KU, for k=ℝ this is called KO.
(There is also the unification of both in KR-theory.)
For k=ℝ the periodicity is 8, for k=ℂ it is 2.
This is called Bott periodicity.
As the terminology indicates, both spin geometry and Dirac operator originate in physics.
Now Dirac operators are generalized to Fredholm operators.
vector bundle to mean topological vector bundle over k of finite rank.
We say monoid for semigroup with unit.
For proof see this prop. at topological vector bundle.
Example (K-group of the point is the integers)
Let X=* be the point.
Let f:X⟶Y be a continuous function between topological spaces.
Let X be a topological space.
Let X be a topological space.
Let X be a topological space.
Remark (restriction in K-theory to the point computes virtual rank)
(over compact Hausdorff spaces K˜(X) is a direct summand of K(X))
Let X be a compact Hausdorff space; A⊂X a closed subspace.
We say these are the K(-cohomology)-groups in degree 1.
There are various ways of generalizing this situation to non-compact spaces:
It follows that K ℂ(S 1)≃ℤAAandAAK˜ ℂ(S 1)≃0.
By example we have K˜(S 1×S 1)≃K˜(S 1∧S 1⏟S 2)⊕K˜(S 1)⊕K˜(S 1)⏟=0.
We discuss the long exact sequences in cohomology for topological K-theory.
The proof of lemma is given at topological vector bundle here.
Hence it is sufficient to consider the top row.
This says that we have an inclusion im(q *)⊂ker(i *).
We discuss some useful consequences of the long exact sequences in cohomology.
Then there is an isomorphism K˜(X∨Y)≃K˜(X)⊕K˜(Y).
This proves the claim.
Alternatively, we may again argue directly from the long exact sequence:
Consider the subspace inclusion X⊂X∨Y.
In particular these maps are injections and surjections, respectively.
Let X and Y be topological spaces.
The fundamental product theorem in K-theory determines these K-theory groups.
This is def. below.
Write BU(n),BO(n)∈ Top for the corresponding classifying space.
This is essentially U=ΩBU.
Moreover U 𝒦⊂U(ℋ) is a Banach Lie normal subgroup.
This is essentially the statement of the long exact sequences above.
See at differential cohomology diagram.

Well-orders are linear
If the former holds for some x, then a≺b follows by transitivity, contradiction.
Now let a′ be minimal such that x≺a′⪯a for every x≺b.
We know already the right side is contained in the left.
In the other direction, suppose x≺a′.
Any finite linearly ordered set {x 1<⋯<x n} is well-ordered.
The set of natural numbers is well-ordered under the usual order <.
Note that any simulation of S in T must be unique.
(Hence the ordinal of all ordinals is a limit ordinal.)
There exists an linear order on k which makes k into an ordered field.
(This requires Zorn's Lemma.)
The Witt group? of k is not torsion.

There are several variations on the idea, described below.
We are now ready for the first batch of definitions.
The category of simple graphs is called SimpGph
While ‘simple graph’ is unambiguous, the other terms above are not.
In all four of the above, edges are interpreted as unordered pairs.
(See also Kock (2016a) for further discussion.)
An orientation of an undirected graph is the choice of a direction for every edge.
Any orientation of an undirected graph induces a corresponding directed graph E +⇉V.
A graph is finite if V and E are both finite sets.
Two graphs G and G′ are isomorphic if there exists such an isomorphism.
Either way, an isomorphism (as defined above) is precisely an invertible morphism.
A usual definition of subgraph in combinatorics is, roughly: subset.
Let G be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E.
(Although obviously, not all graph-theoretic properties are preserved.
For example, barycentric subdivision always produces a bipartite graph).
But no, they prefer to talk in a vague way and smushing these together.
Does anybody actually know what a graph minor is?
you see, this famous [inaudible works] problem on graph minors.
Looks like that that might be interesting.
See also quiver - references.
All these terms refer to the internal set theory of the (2,1)-category C.
These proofs are all quite difficult to understand.

The presheaf topos Set Δ 1 op is the topos of reflexive graphs.
In other words, it gives a presheaf on Δ 1.
Conversely, any presheaf on Δ 1 determines a reflexive graph.
This is easy to understand from an example.
Consider the free graphic monoid on X={a,b}.
There is a relation between graphic monoids and shelves:

The (∞,n)-category of cobordisms is the subject of the cobordism hypothesis.
Consider a manifold X↪V×ℝ embedded in a vector space of the form V×ℝ.
The precise statement is given further below.
It turns out that it actually is an n-fold Segal space.

Consider the pictures in (Schommer-Pries 13, figure 5).
A 2-framing of γ is a trivialization of Tγ⊕ℝ.
Adjoints Bord n is an (∞,n)-category with all adjoints.

Let G be a group in some category C of spaces.
For example, we can consider sheaves of abelian groups over topological spaces.
Consider a G-space X with action ρ:G×X→X and projection p:G×X→X.
Idea The rational n-sphere is the rationalization of the n-sphere.
Hence its minimal Sullivan model needs at least one closed generator in that degree.
That is accomplished by the second generator ω 4k−1.
For instance the 4-sphere has rational homotopy in degree 4 and 7.
The one in degree 7 being represented by the quaternionic Hopf fibration.
Equivalently, a root system is reduced if each α∈Δ determines a unique reflection.
The dual notion is that of mapping cocone.
This is discussed in detail at factorization lemma and at homotopy pullback.
This is of course also precisely what def. is saying.
This now is a basic fact in ordinary category theory.
The pushouts appearing here go by the following names:
See the example For topological spaces below.
We discuss realizations of the general construction in various contexts.

are computed in the underlying presheaf category of towers in 𝒜.
There they are computed degreewise in 𝒜 (see at limits in presheaf categories).
In the literature this appears for instance as (Schapira, def. 3.2.2).
As before the pushout is computed degreewise.
The construction above builds the mapping cone explicitly via the standard formula for homotopy pushouts.
Often however other presentations are more convenient:
This appears for instance as (Weibel, Exercise 1.2.8).
In additive categories with translation Let 𝒜 be an additive category with translation T=[1]:𝒜→𝒜.
For an exposition of the following see there the section Relation to homotopy fiber sequences.
Write X[1] •∈Ch •(𝒜) for the suspension of a chain complex of X.
This is a quasi-isomorphism.
So x n−1 has to be found such that this pair is a cycle.
This shows that H n(h •) is surjective.
Observe that H n(X[k] •)≃H n−k(X •).
By the discussion there, this is indeed the action of the connecting homomorphism.
Notice that equivalently we can express the triangles via the mapping cylinder.
This entry contains one chapter of the material at geometry of physics.
Let G be a Lie group.
Its schematic depiction is simply X={x⟶idx}.
The triangle in the above cartoon symbolizes the evident way in which these morphisms compose.
hence also C(U) becomes a Lie groupoid.
We now discuss this smooth incarnation (EG) • of EG.
The projection p is the quotient projection of this action.
Pullbacks of pre-smooth groupoids are computed componentwise.
We now discuss the general axiomatization of this construction via categories of fibrant objects.
Those morphisms which are both weak equivalences and fibrations are called acyclic fibrations .
Let C be a category of fibrant objects.
The factorization lemma says the following.
Let Y I with factorization Y→≃Y I⟶(d 0,d 1)Y×Y be a path space object for Y.
Both squares are pullback squares.
Since pullbacks of fibrations are fibrations, the morphism X^→X×Y is a fibration.
Since these are stable under pullback, also X^→X is an acyclic fibration.
But, by the axioms, Y I→Y has a right inverse Y→Y I.
This establishes the claim.
Let 𝒞 be a category of fibrant objects.
In view of this the following definition is natural.
And it is equivalent to ∞Grpd, the (∞,1)-category of bare ∞-groupoids.

The proof may be safely left to the reader.
There is no hope that normal spaces are closed under coequalizers or pushouts.
However, there are reasonable conditions under which pushouts will be normal.
This is the categorical backdrop for the following observation.
Let X be a compact Hausdorff space.
(In which case X/∼ is compact Hausdorff.)
Consider its ∼-saturation A¯, namely {x∈X:(∃ a∈A)x∼a}=π 1((∼)∩(X×A)).
We reproduce the proof given here.
To prove that j is a subspace, let U⊆C be any open set.
It follows that j −1(W)=U, so that j is a subspace inclusion.
We remark that the “if” part of the proof is very easy.
The following is a sample application.
We obtain a map βf:X→ℝ.
Finally, the restriction of ψ to C is ϕ, as required.
A little use of notation allows a short exposition of this proof.
Then X=colim nX n is normal by applying Proposition .
Let X be a simply connected topological space.
This is known as Jones' theorem (Jones 87)
In rational homotopy theory See at Sullivan model of free loop space.
This is the joint generalization of the notion of category and ∞-groupoid.
The collection of all (∞,1)-categories forms the (∞,2)-category (∞,1)Cat.
(They may have inverses, too, but are not required to).
, SSet-enriched categories do model (∞,1)-categories.
This gives a representation of all (∞,1)-categories in terms of homotopical categories.
A specific notion of homotopical category is that of a model category.
The locally presentable (∞,1)-categories are precisely those presented this way by combinatorial model categeories.
A simplicial model category A is, in particular, a simplicially enriched category.
Other models for (∞,1)-categories are Segal categories; complete Segal spaces.
Complete Segal spaces are like internal categories in an (∞,1)-category.
See (∞,1)-category theory.
The collection of all (∞,1)-categories forms an (∞,2)-category called (∞,1)Cat.
There is a wealth of different presentations of (∞,1)-categories.

In that case the above homotopy pullback has various realizations as an ordinary pullback.
Notably it may be expressed using path objects which may come from interval objects.
Thus the smooth loop space is not a loop space object.
Let C= Top with the standard interval object.
The generalization of this to smooth spaces is discussed at smooth loop space.
The operation P↦P¯ is called path reversal.
All of these variations can be combined, of course.
Also, a Moore path from a to b has f(n)=b instead of f(1)=b.
This category is called the Moore path category.

See at manifold for more on the general concept.
Topological manifolds form a category TopMfd.
The “local” topological properties of Euclidean space are inherited by locally Euclidean spaces:
Let X be a locally Euclidean space (def. ).
By definition, there is a Euclidean open neighbourhood ℝ n→≃ϕU x⊂X around x.
By the first statement above the map is injective (via this lemma).
We will show something stronger: every irreducible closed subset is a singleton.
But by irreducibiliy, this union has to consist of just one point.
We need to find a connected open neighbourhood Cn x⊂U x.
By local Euclideanness, there is also a Euclidean neighboruhood ℝ n→≃ϕV x⊂X.
This is a connected open neighbourhood of x as required.
We need to find a compact neighbourhood K x⊂U x.
By assumption there exists a Euclidean open neighbourhood ℝ n→≃ϕV x⊂X.
Lemma (connected locally Euclidean spaces are path-connected)
A locally Euclidean space which is connected is also path-connected.
Observe now that both PConn x(X)⊂X as well as its complement are open subsets:
Now by assumption every point y∈X has a Euclidean neighbourhood ℝ n→≃U y⊂X.
Let X be a locally Euclidean space (def. ) which is Hausdorff.
1) ⇒ 2) Let X be sigma-compact.
This means that X is second-countable.
1) ⇒ 3) Let X be sigma-compact.
We show that then X is paracompact with a countable set of connected components:
This follows since locally compact and second-countable spaces are sigma-compact.
We show that X is sigma-compact.
By paracompactness there is a locally finite refinement of this cover.
Now fix any j 0∈J.
From this the general statement follows since countable unions of countable sets are countable.
Hence assume that X is connected.
It follows from lemma that X is path-connected.
We prove this last claim by induction.
It is true for n=0 by construction.
In conclusion this implies that only a finite number of the V j intersect K n.
This is usually assumed to be the case.
Often a topological manifold (def. ) is required to be sigma-compact.
By this prop this implies that X is second-countable topological space.
For the differentiable structure we pick these Euclidean neighbourhoods from the given atlas.
See the examples at differentiable manifold.

Let G be a perfect discrete group.
Agros toposAAgeneralized spaces obey…AAexample:AAcohesionADef.
The former is manifestly the operation of evaluating on the terminal object.
This implies that also coDisc is fully faithful, by (Prop. ).
Equivalently, Disc≃p * is the constant diagram-assigning functor.
Let H be a cohesive topos (Def. ).
First observe, in the notation there, that ptp His epiAAAiffAAAptp Bis epi.
In one direction, assume that ptp B is an epimorphism.
In the other direction, assume that ptp H is an epimorphism.
This establishes the equivalence between the first two items.
This shows that concX≔im(η X ♯) is indeed concret.
It remains to show that this construction is left adjoint to the inclusion.

Now, from (9), we have a commuting square as shown.
Let H red be a cohesive topos (Def. ).
The phase space is T *ℝ n≃ℝ 2n.

Idea A (2,1)-sheaf is a sheaf with values in groupoids.
This is traditionally called a stack.
Let C be a (2,1)-site.
Write Grpd for the (2,1)-category of groupoids, functors and natural isomorphisms.
The (2,1)-category of a (2,1)-sheaves on a (2,1)-site forms a (2,1)-topos.
See model structure for (2,1)-sheaves.
Concretely, this is the category of presheaves on S.
Concretely, this is the category of copresheaves on S.
(Note that this means there will be no distributivity of limits and colimits.)
This is known as the free bicompletion of S.
The above references do not contain proofs.
Thus, an equivalence relation is a symmetric preorder.

This is a derivation by the chain rule.
This algebra ℝ[ϵ]/(ϵ 2) is known as the algebra of dual numbers over ℝ.

Lifting limits is closely related to creating them.
Remark 13.38 provides a useful diagram of relations between reflected/created/lifted limits.
We say that P× GF→X is the associated bundle to P→X with fiber F.
We discuss here some basics and how this recovers the traditional definition.

A cyclic group is a quotient group of the free group on the singleton.
But see Ring structure below.
Of course, ℤ itself is also ℤ/0.
Let A be a cyclic group, and let x be a generator of A.
This is a special case of the fundamental theorem of finitely generated abelian groups.
Every finite abelian group is a direct sum of abelian groups over cyclic groups.
See at finite abelian group for details.
We discuss some of the representation theory of cyclic groups.
Explicitly this means the following.
This is a smooth manifold diffeomorphic to the Cartesian space ℝ n.
With this representation the multiplication and differential are given by the usual formulae.
This is the dg-algebra of polynomial differential forms.

Let k be a field of characteristic 0.

This entry is about the notion of “limit” in category theory.
The corresponding universal object for morphisms out of the diagram is the colimit.
This idea is explained more formally here.
This is what we do below.
See also the analogous discussion at homotopy limit.
Also seen are (respectively) inverse limits and direct limits.
The first system also appears in pro-object and ind-object.
Correspondingly, the symbols lim← and lim→ are used instead of lim and colim.
In particular, the limit of a set-valued functor always exists.
In enriched category theory one has the notion of weighted limit.
In 2-category theory one has the notion of a 2-limit.
Similarly, in (infinity,1)-category theory there is a notion of a limit.
See limit in quasi-categories.
The central point about examples of limits is: Categorical limits are ubiquitous.
But any list is necessarily wildly incomplete.
For a pedagogical list of examples see limits and colimits by example.
A limit of the empty diagram is a terminal object.
A limit of a cospan is a pullback.
A limit over a finite category is a finite limit.
Another important “shape” of limits are those that give rise to ends.
Frequently some limits can be computed in terms of other limits.
(More precisely, it suffices only to consider equalizers of reflexive pairs.)
In Set Limits in Set are hom-sets
In functor categories Proposition (limits in functor categories are computed pointwise)
Let D be a small category and let D′ be any category.
Let C be a category which admits limits of shape D.
Write [D′,C] for the functor category.
Let D be a small category such that C admits limits of shape D.
In general limits do not commute with colimits.
But under a number of special conditions of interest they do.
Special cases and concrete examples are discussed at commutativity of limits and colimits.
This paper refers to limits as inverse limits.
A more general notion is of a pseudoholomorphic map.
These are what originally were called algebraic stacks.
This case is the algebraic version of the general notion of geometric stack.
The Vopěnka principle Vopěnka’s principle has many equivalent statements.
This is (AdamekRosicky, theorem 6.28).
This is in (Rosicky)
But the VP is slightly stronger than this statement.
For every n, there exist arbitrarily large C(n)-extendible cardinals.
This is in (BCMR).
The Vopěnka principle implies the weak Vopěnka principle.
This is AdamekRosicky, theorem 6.22 and example 6.23
The following theorems are from (BCMR).
There exists a C(n)-extendible cardinal.
There exists a supercompact cardinal.
Many more refined results can be found in (BCMR).
Then the left Bousfield localization L ZW exists.
This is theorem 2.3 in (RosickyTholen) Corollary
The claim then follows with the (above theorem).
We might call this axiom schema the Vopěnka axiom scheme.
See, for instance, this MO question and answer.
Thus, being Vopěnka is much stronger than being almost-Vopěnka.

Because two objects in a †-category can be isomorphic without been unitary isomorphic.
In other words the forgetful functor DCat→Cat is wrong.
This is because the model category DCat is a combinatorial model category.
This is true also for the model category Cat.
Examples of †-2-posets include allegories and bicategories of relations.
The category convolution algebra of a dagger category is naturally a star-algebra.
The star-involution is given by pullback of functions along the †-functor.

Regular logic is the internal logic of regular categories.
Special cases of nets are sequences, for which D=ℕ ≤ is the natural numbers.
(see at sequentially compact space Examples and counter-examples).
They are guaranteed to be unique in Hausdorff spaces, see prop. below.
The definition of the concept of sub-nets of a net requires some care.
We state them now in order of increasing generality.
The eventuality filter of y (def. ) refines the eventuality filter of x.
The equivalence between these definitions is as follows:
The filter ℱ is called proper if each set in it is inhabited.
Conversely, let S⊂X be a subset that is not open.
By applying f, this is the required statement.
We give two proofs of the other direction.
Conversely, suppose that f is not continuous.
It is sufficient to prove that f −1(V) is open.
Let x be a limit point of ν.
By , it is sufficient to prove that x∉f −1(V).
We need to show that then x 1=x 2.
Assume on the contrary that the two points were different, x 1≠x 2.
Conversely, assume that (X,τ) is not a Hausdorff space.
Take V 1≔U x 1 and take V 2=X.
(compact spaces are equivalently those for which every net has a converging subnet)
Let (X,τ) be a compact topological space.
Then every net in X has a convergent subnet.
Let ν:A→X be a net.
We need to show that there is a subnet which converges.
To this end, we first need to build the domain directed set B.
It is clear B is a preordered set.
Hence with U bd≔U 1∩U 2 we have obtained the required pair.
Hence we have defined a subnet ν∘f.
Hence assume that (X,τ) is not compact.
We need to produce a net without a convergent subnet.
We will show that this net has no converging subnet.
This would imply that x J≠U x for all J⊃{i x}.
This hence satisfies both ν f(e)∈U x as well as {i x}⊂f(b 1)⊂f(b).
Thus we have a proof by contradiction.
Indeed we can build a formal logic out of these.
If 𝒞 is a combinatorial model category, then so is 𝒞 /X.
Hence with 𝒞 enriched also 𝒞 /X is.
This main result is corollary 7.6.13 of Cisinski 20.
It is clear that we have an essentially surjective (∞,1)-functor 𝒞 ∘/X→(𝒞/X) ∘.
This is due to Rezk 02, Prop. 2.5.
By Prop. the pullback operation b * is a right Quillen functor.
It only remains to see that π 0(f) is an isomorphism.
In class theory, a universal class is a “class of all sets”.
Compare the ideas discussed on this page with those at internal profunctor and discrete fibration.
The three generalize the basic idea in different ways.
Internal diagrams on C in E form a category denoted by E C.
An internal diagram on C op is sometimes called an internal presheaf on C.
Similarly, the objects of E C op are the discrete fibrations in Cat(E)/C.
There is a composite forgetful functor U:E C→Cat(E)/C→E/C 0.
An internal diagram as above may take values in any Grothendieck fibration over E.

The following observation of Conduché is very useful when working with simplicial groupoids.
The actions involved are clear once the following lemma is examined.
This decomposition generalises the one used in the classical Dold-Kan correspondence.
It plays a crucial role in the theory of hypercrossed complexes.
If they are even identity morphisms, then F is called a strict monoidal functor.
See there for more details.
If F is strong monoidal then this is an ordinary 2-functor.
If it is strict monoidal, then this is a strict 2-functor.
The second claim is formally dual.
Notice the above theorem and proof are valid in any 2-category admitting inverters.
Properties The fixed point construction can be seen as a 2-adjoint.
See envelope of an adjunction for details.
Indeed, this is essentially the definition of an idempotent adjunction.
An example is the adjunction between sets and pointed sets.
This can be generalized to any algebraic theory that has a non-trivial constant.
These examples give adjunctions which are “maximally non-idempotent”.

The following statements are all consequences of SVC (some requiring excluded middle).
Assuming SVC with S, AC holds as soon as S is choice.
(This is actually a consequence of REA.)
There are enough injective abelian groups.
The category of anafunctors between two small categories is essentially small.
However, it can fail in permutation models over proper classes.
Moreover, at least assuming classical logic, SVC + COSHEP implies AC.
The smash product on pointed topological spaces induces a smash product on spectra.
This is the canonical tensor product in the symmetric monoidal (infinity,1)-category of spectra.
See at symmetric monoidal category of spectra for more on this.
See also at functor with smash products.
This has degree (−1) n 1n 2 .
Thus there is no Day convolution product on sequential spectra at all.
We discuss local (“extended”) topological prequantum field theory.
Here the pattern of the discussion of examples is the following:
The ambient topos Prequantum field theory deals with “spaces of physical fields”.
We here need this to mean the following Definition
Every cohesive (∞,1)-topos is in particular globally and locally ∞-connected, by definition.
This we discuss in Corner field theory.
We write Span n(H) for the resulting (∞,n)-category of spans.
All this we now describe more formally.
Therefore it makes sense to speak of bulk field theory in this case.
In (LurieTFT) this is denoted by “Bord n fr”.
In itself this is a deep statement about the homotopy type of categories of cobordisms.
The central definition in the present context now is the following.
For H= ∞Grpd this is the perspective in (FHLT, section 3).
This is discussed in some detail at prequantized Lagrangian correspondence.
We now discuss this notion of groupoids more formally.
Here, for the time being, all groups are discrete groups.
(Here “♭” denotes the “flat modality”.)
Another canonical action is the action of G on itself by right multiplication.
This is known as the G-universal principal bundle.
See below in for more on this.
Below we generalize this to arbitrary homotopy types (def. ).
These correspondences of groupoids encode trajectories/histories of field configurations.
By prop. we have X×[Π 1(S 1),X]X≃[Π 1(S 1),X].
Along these lines one checks the required zig-zag identities.
This is described in def. below.
Therefore we cosider the following.
This is a monoidal (2,1)-functor.
One may regard this as a simple example of geometric representation theory.
More familiar are maybe cocycles in higher degree.
These are called the simplicial identities.
These in turn need to be connected by pentagonators and ever so on.
This provided by the orientals (due to Ross Street).
This is precisely what the horn-filler conditions in a Kan complex encode.
We review how 1-groupoids are incarnated as Kan complexes via their nerve.
For more along these lines see at geometry of physics – homotopy types.
every morphism has an inverse under this composition.
This makes it manifest that these functions organise into a simplicial set.
The nerve operation constitutes a full and faithful functor N:Grpd→KanCplx↪sSet.
It follows that the category KanCplx is naturally enriched over itself.
This comes with two inclusions i 0,i 1:*→I of its endpoints.
The category ∞Grpd itself “is” the canonical homotopy theory.
(For more on this see also at homotopy hypothesis.)
The following is the immediate generalization of def. .
Of relevance now are the following two standard facts.
Taken together, this provides us with the following very useful construction.
It provides us with a rich supply of Kan complexes, hence of ∞-groups.
Let G∈Grp(H) be a simply connected compact simple Lie group.
and write BG∈Smooth∞Grpd for its delooping stack.
This is essentially given by the first Pontryagin class p 1.
Hence in codimension-0 this is still just Loc G(Σ).
However for metric spaces the two conditions happen to be equivalent
(X,d) is a sequentially compact topological space.
Assume first that (X,d) is a compact topological space.
Let (x k) k∈ℕ be a sequence in X.
We need to show that it has a sub-sequence which converges.
This proves that compact implies sequentially compact for metric spaces.
Let {U i→X} i∈I be an open cover of X.
We need to show that there exists a finite sub-cover.
Therefore {U i s→X} s∈S is a finite sub-cover as required.
Hence countably compact metric spaces are equivalently compact metric spaces.
(For now this is just the very rough idea.
More details to come.)

‘Quasiprojective’ unifies affine, quasiaffine, projective and embedded quasiprojective k-varieties.
By the Hilbert Nullstellensatz there is a more invariant definition.
As topological spaces affine varieties are noetherian.
Embedded quasiaffine k-varieties are Zariski-open subspaces of affine k-varieties.
Morphisms between varieties are sometimes called regular maps?.
Sometimes a smooth algebraic variety may also be called algebraic manifold.
The remaining points are the generic points of subvarieties.
There are apparently hundreds of proofs.
(N.B.: this construction is specific to Euclidean geometry.)

Let E→fbΣ be a smooth vector bundle.
This makes Γ Σ(E) a Fréchet topological vector space.
These integral kernels are the advanced/retarded “propagators”.
We discuss this by a variant of the Cauchy principal value:
The last step is simply the application of Euler's formula sin(α)=12i(e iα−e −iα).
This integration domain may then further be completed to two contour integrations.
The last line is Δ H(x,y), by definition .
On the left this identifies the causal propagator by (12), prop. .
This does not change the integral, and hence H is symmetric.
There is an evident variant of this combination, which will be of interest:
where in the second line we used Euler's formula.
In the first step we introduced the complex square root ω ±ϵ(k→).
We follow (Scharf 95 (2.3.18)).
Next we similarly parameterize the vector x−y by its rapidity τ.
The important point here is that this is a smooth function.

This results in the well-founded pure sets.
In material set theory without urelements, every set is a pure set.
A set x is well-founded if it belongs to every ∈-inductive class C.
(That all sets are well-founded is the axiom of foundation.)
The discussion which follows is phrased informally, like most mathematics.
However, it is purely structural and can be interpreted in any structural set theory.
A convenient way to “picture” a pure set is with a graph.
A node i is called a child of a node j if i→j.
An accessible pointed graph is abbreviated APG.
Notice that ∅ is an immediate subgraph, so we can write ∅∈⋆.
These sets are all well-founded.
In both cases, the unique immediate subgraphs verify that •∈•.
Firstly, we have so far not eliminated the possibility of duplicate branches.
It is easy to eliminate APGs with such “obviously redundant” branches.
Note also that if two rigid APGs are isomorphic, they must be uniquely isomorphic.
Thus, for rigid APGs, being isomorphic is a property, rather than structure.
Even among rigid APGs, however, there are are ambiguities.
Demand that duplicate occurrences always be identified, wherever they occur.
Define a notion of “equivalence” between APGs which is looser than isomorphism.
We will consider them all in turn.
A tree may or may not be well-founded.
So we have ∅∈ω N, ⋆∈ω N, 2 N∈ω, etc.
Given these definitions, one can prove the various axioms of material set theory.
The natural way to ensure this is to require our graphs to be extensional.
Thus, it requires at least limited separation.
Recall the notion of bisimulation.
This definition is also not predicative.
The relationship of this approach to the previous ones is as follows.
Every APG is equivalent to an extensional one.
This is the extensional quotient; see extensional relation.
Two extensional APGs are equivalent iff they are isomorphic.
The bisimulation relates each path x n→…→⊤ to its initial node x n.
Moreover, every APG is equivalent to a rigid accessible pointed tree.
Two well-founded rigid accessible pointed trees are equivalent iff they are isomorphic.
For assume that all the children of x and y have this property.
Therefore, ≃ is a bijection between the children of x and the children of y.
Thus, by induction, ≃ is a bijection.
(This makes sense since SAFA is incompatible with AFA.

Equivalently, it satisfies the descending chain condition for inclusions of closed sets.

This is reflected in the subscripts of ◊W and □W above.

By these accounts, one who does probability theory is doing mathematics.
Perhaps probability theory may be viewed as a branch of epistemology.
Some reasons for holding that view follow.
All probabilities are conditional.
It is anything but clear which measure space it asks about.
But how fast will it approach that observed relative frequency?
Only when that has been specified is there a well-defined mathematical problem.
We might nonetheless reasonably approach it with the constraint of symmetry in the six indices.
It is not enough to answer the question: how fast?
von Mises missed the point.
One assigns a probability only to a measurable subset of a probability space.
That is called “frequentism”.
It is often asserted by both Bayesians and frequentists that that is subjective.

But maybe we should highlight it at least more at beginning of entries.
Many Grothendieck-Rezk-Lurie (∞,1)-toposes are not equivalent to these.
But I might be wrong.
In a similar vein, I suggested physical field at field.
Jon Awbrey made some attempt to reorganize the discussion at boolean domain.
Jon Awbrey finished up the basic definitions and expository examples at sign relation.

AST alteady exist as do pages for the other long entries.
Regarding Cayley i have seen the paper long before and have it on my computer.
Cayley calculates invariant theory in coordinates.
The paper do not define any categorical concept or prove a categorical theorem.
I would say it don’t start homological algebra.
How Cayley’s paper benefited category theory ?
You are concerned about syncing and difficulties.
There is a wikipedia and there is nlab.
I will also try to have good links.
So at the moment it would be nLab that benefits most.
I will look into your changes once again and try to keep them.
It is easier to only copy the links than to find them.
I have not included dualities.
I will check more now.
Now that nLab is fast enough it should go much better to edit the links.
Zoran ?koda?: created internal relation.
I see no reason for wikipedia to overwrite our work on changes.
I would not say that in that particular day only the links changed.
Urs, i have taken care of that.
I first updated the wikipedia timeline to match the nLab timeline.
I found nLabs way of comparing revisions often very hard to read.

They are the subject of higher arithmetic geometry.
These fields are not locally compact with respect to any reasonable topology on them.
But they are topologically self-dual, similar to the classical local fields.
For a survey of higher local fields and associated algebraic theories see (Morrow12).
This measure takes values not in ℂ but in ℂ((X)).
They also occur in models of space-time and in modelling certain modal logics.
(It follows that X must be a Hausdorff space.)
There are several useful notions of ‘homotopy’ between dimaps.
Choosing between them depends on the intended use and/or the situation being modelled.
Suppose a and b are dimaps between X and Y.
(The pospace I d is defined below amongst the examples.)
We say a and b are dihomotopic, the relation being called directed homotopy.
Above, it is given as I d.
How/if is the standard directed interval related to interval object?
I am also alergic to too much ‘continuum’ use.
The problem is to get a substitute that allows and controls subdivision.
He used an Ind-object instead of an interval object.
His theory is not a directed one, of course.
I can try to find references if it should proved useful.
Remark An 1-plectic form is equivalently a symplectic form.
See higher symplectic geometry for more on this case.
See the references at n-plectic geometry and at multisymplectic geometry.
The dual concept is that of totalization of cosimplicial topological spaces.
This operation naturally extends to a functor |−|:sTop→Top.
An early reference that realizes this construction as a coend is (MacLane).
(This yields the underlying semi-simplicial set).
Simplicial topological spaces are in homotopy theory presentations for certain topological ∞-groupoids .
Recall the following definitions and facts from nice simplicial topological space.
We now discuss the resolution of any simplicial topological space by a good one.
The second sentence follows directly by the remarks above.
This also follows from results of (Gaunce Lewis 1982).
The proof can be found in Neil Strickland‘s answer to this mathoverflow question.
Ordinary geometric realization has the following two disadvantages:
This appears as (Segal74, prop. A.1).
We discuss how geometric realization interacts with limits of simplicial topological spaces.
Proposition (geometric realization prerserves pullbacks)
This appears for instance as (May 1972, Cor. 11.6).
Write ‖*‖ for the fat geometric realization of the point.
This is claimed in Gepner-Henriques 07, Remark 2.23.
In other words, the geometric realization is filtered by simplicial degree.
Since |X •| 0=X 0, this is true for n=0.
For n=0 it is obvious.
Hence, by the above pushout square, so is L n m−1X→L n mX.
(Any Reedy cofibrant diagram is in particular objectwise cofibrant.)
This is claimed in Wang 18, Theorem 4.3, Remark 4.4.
This is more than we need and want to impose here.
For W¯G this is (RobertsStevenson, prop. 19).
Let for the following Top s↪Top be any small full subcategory.
Therefore Hom Top(U,σ) is a section of our function.
Therefore by prop. we have hocolimP •≃|P •| in Ho(Top).
By prop. we have that ⋯=|X •|× |W¯G||WG|.
In total we have shown hocolim(hofibτ)≃hofib(hocolimτ).
An early reference for this classical fact is (Segal68).
There is a weak homotopy equivalence ΩBG→≃G. Proof
Write C(π)∈sTop for the Cech nerve.
If X is a paracompact topological space then it is even a homotopy equivalence.
For paracompact X this goes back to (Segal68).
The general case is discussed in (DuggerIsaksen).
A generalization to parameterized spaces is in (RobertsStevenson, lemma 22).

It generalizes the ordinary nerve of an ordinary category.
Hence the composite G=FU:Cat→Cat constitutes a comonad on Cat.
We will see this again in another Remark later on in this entry.
(We will look at an example after this definition.)
We will examine the lowest dimensional cases.
For n=0 there is nothing of note.
Things are slightly more interesting for S[2](0,2).
This can be given using the language of polygraphs or computads.)
In this example there are no significant compositions.
To see examples of those, you need to look at n=3.
The new features occur in S[3](0,3).
We thus get S[3](0,3)≅Δ[1] 2, a square.
A similar phenomenon occurs in higher dimensions.
There are two ‘extra faces’ in S[5](0,5), and so on.
The objects of S(NP) are the elements of P
The simplicially enriched categories constructed from spheres and inner horns also have simple descriptions.
The Duskin nerve of a bicategory is an extension of this construction.
We may think of category Δ[n] trivially as a simplicially enriched category.
And Kan-complex enriched categories are fibrant.

This is quite powerful e.g. for describing compositions as we will exploit
Formally, this can be enforced by an appropriate sheaf condition.
However, we can also address the case n=∞ as follows.
To make the preceding sketch precise, one would need to formalize the sheaf condition.
We now mention one way of how this could be achieved.
MDiag n R consisting of spans We define a coverage for MDiag n R.
We may now formalize our earlier sketch definition as follows.
This could simplify the comparison to other presheaf models of higher categories.
The precise nature of these shape categories remains to be fully understood.
Examples Geometric computads are free instances of manifold-diagrammatic n-categories.
This can be related to the above discussion as follows.

This generalizes the notion of projective modules over a ring.
In this case one may speak of regular projectives and so on.

Define the finite dimensional vector space V=M⊗ WK.
Note that f preserves the W-lattice M inside V by construction.
Define A=K[T] to be the noncommutative polynomial ring with commutative relation Ta=ϕ(a)T.

When r≥0 T preserves the W lattice W[t]/W[t]⋅(T s−p r)⊂U r,s.
This is called the slope decomposition of V.
Up to noncanonical isomorphism V is completely determined by knowledge of the slopes and multiplicities.

Let X/E be a hyperimaginary.
On the other hand, one could try computing (∏ i∈IM i(X/E))/𝒰.
But these cofinite sets of indices are getting smaller and smaller and intersect to ∅.
And if we take them mod-E, then mod-𝒰, they remain distinct.
Such a structure is often called an enhancement of the triangulated category ho(C).

Thus Kan complexes serve to support homotopy theory.
One of these are the simplicial T-complexes, the nerves crossed complexes.
See at internal ∞-groupoid for more.
Then we discuss basic aspects of the Homotopy theory of ∞-groupoids as Kan complexes.
For illustrations of the horn-filler conditions see also at Kan fibration.
See at homotopy hypothesis for more on this.
See at cubical set for discussion of this issue.
For more on this see at homotopy type theory.
These are called the simplicial identities.
These in turn need to be connected by pentagonators and ever so on.
This provided by the orientals (due to Ross Street).
This is precisely what the horn-filler conditions in a Kan complex encode.
We review how 1-groupoids are incarnated as Kan complexes via their nerve.
The nerve operation constitutes a full and faithful functor N:Grpd→KanCplx↪sSet.
This comes with two inclusions i 0,i 1:*→I of its endpoints.
It follows that the category KanCplx is naturally enriched over itself.
This was shown by Carboni, Kelly, and Pedicchio.
That Π(X) is indeed a Kan complex is intuitively clear.

An ordinary pullback is a limit over a diagram of the form A→C←B.

He then goes ahead and defines λ-rings on page 88.
On page 102 starts explaining ‘plethysm’.
Typically this relation expresses the frequency ν(λ) as a function of the wavelength.
This implies e.g. that any consistent theory of presheaf type has models in Set.
Another variation is the Moore metrization theorem.
In this case the space is called topologically complete.
A sufficient and neceissary criterion can be given in terms of cotopology.

Forcing Forcing Idea
The language of forcing is generally used in material set theory.
There are several things we could do.
Obviously these are more or less equivalent ways of doing the same thing.
Arguably, most modern mathematicians would find the third the most natural.
We can likewise take three approaches.
The G is called a generic set for the desired “notion of forcing.”
This is called forcing semantics.

There are several ways to describe what the fundamental properties of angles should be.
However, modulo that uncertainty, the above is a reasonable property to insist on.
A special case of this is when w=−u.
This leads to the following diagram.
A norm which satisfies the parallelogram identity is the norm associated with an inner product.
It is possible to show directly that this is an inner product.
Certain properties are easy to deduce directly from the formulae.
All but the last of these is a simple deduction from the formulae.
We multiply by 4 to simplify the notation.
The properties above were all reasonably straightforward deductions from the definition.
There is one more property that is needed which is a little more complicated.
First, we note a useful result about the continuity of the supposed inner product.
The map (u,v)↦12(‖u+v‖ 2−‖u‖ 2−‖v‖ 2) is continuous.
We prove this by induction.
It is clearly true for the case n=1.
Next we observe that it holds for all n∈ℤ.
Next, we prove it for pq∈ℚ.
In fact, it is sufficient to prove it for 1n with n∈ℕ.
For that we observe that ⟨u,1nv⟩=nn⟨u,1nv⟩=1n⟨u,nnv⟩=1n⟨u,v⟩.
To get to λ∈ℝ we need to appeal to continuity.

Under this interpretation, the above axioms contrapose to become ∅¯=∅.
In constructive mathematics, of course, the law of contraposition does not hold.
For an “apartness”, BV11 also require comparability (see below).
Any apartness space comes with an irreflexive relation ≰ defined by x≰y iff x⋈{y}.
This is a positive version of the negation of the specialization order.
In BV11, axiom 4 for the denial inequality is called the reverse Kolmogorov property.
This condition is also classically trivial: take B={y∣¬(y⋈A)}.
It implies comparability (for ≠ the denial inequality).
This makes X an apartness space.
This makes X a topological space.
Since x⋈ τA, there is an open set V with x∈V and V∩A=∅.
But then every y∈V satisfies y⋈ τA, hence y∈U; so V⊆U.
In other words, the interiors of complements form a base for the topology.
In Bridges et. al. this condition is called being topologically consistent.
A sufficient condition for topological consistency is local decomposability.
This implies that x∈int(¬¬V)⊆¬¬V⊆U, giving topological consistency.
(Of course, in classical mathematics every space is locally decomposable.)
Moreover, since f(x)⋈B we have x⋈C by apartness-continuity.
Thus, f −1(U) is open.

This means that the original two factorizations are equivalent.

We use these to construct the required cover by induction.
So {V x⊂X} x∈Q n is still an open cover of Q n.
It remains to see that this is a cover.

Then X is also paracompact.
Let {U i⊂X} i∈I be an open cover of X.
We need to show that this has a refinement by a locally finite cover.

We call G an ∞-group.
Let G be a group object in the (∞,1)-topos H.
We may think of P//G as the action groupoid of the G-action on P.
For us it defines this G-action.
By Giraud's axioms characterizing (∞,1)-toposes, every groupoid object in H is effective.
We proceed by induction through the height of this diagram.
This shows that P//G is the Cech nerve of P→X.
It remains to show that indeed X=lim → nP×G × n.
This proves the claim, by definition of effective epimorphism.
We discuss realizations of the general definition in various (∞,1)-toposes H.

The trigonometric polynomials do form a topological basis.
The dual basis is given by taking the Fourier coefficients of a function.
The following is a Schauder basis.
Let (d n) be the sequence {0,1,12,14,34,…}.

Contents Idea By quantization is meant some process
(Hence more precisely: is there a natural Synthetic Quantum Field Theory?)
The following spells out an argument to this effect.
This Lie bracket is what controls dynamics in classical mechanics.
Something to take notice of here is the infinitesimal nature of the Poisson bracket.
There may be different global Lie group objects with the same Lie algebra.
From here the story continues.
It is called the story of geometric quantization.
We close this motivation section here by some brief outlook.
These are the actual wavefunctions of quantum mechanics, hence the quantum states.
For more on this see at Wick algebra and causal perturbation theory.
This is now known as “classical physics”.
The true dynamics in turn is “quantum physics”.
As such it is not well defined, i.e. unique, when it exists.
Additional structures sometimes make it unique.
These traditional formulations are geared towards mechanics (as opposed to field theory).
The goal is to get closer to a systematic theory of quantization.
In the context of field theory the conceptual issues become even more severe.
More on this is in (Nuiten 13) and at motivic quantization.
(See (Nuiten13) for more.)

Let G be a compactum.
Let G-Ban be the category of Banach representations of G.
Maps in G-Ban are short maps which are G-equivariant.
In both cases, we get a “bar construction”.
Hence there are evident face maps without degeneracies.
Now the bar resolution ⋯⟶⟶⟶C(G×G)∏ℝ[G]⟶f↦(g↦∫ h∈Gf(g,h))⟶*C(G)∏ℝ[G]⟶∫ Gℝ has degeneracies as well.
This result was first proven by Weil.
A proof can be found in these online notes by Rubinstein-Salzedo.
C c(G)=C(G) is such a Banach representation.

Take an injection of Banach representations of G, X→Y.

Besides the monumental Mazzola (2002), the following employ category theory:
Other “mathemusical” topics include:
In type theory, a negative type is one whose eliminators are regarded as primary.
The opposite notion is a positive type, forming two polarities.
The two definitions are equivalent in ordinary type theory, but distinct in linear logic.
The same is true of binary sum types if we allow sequents with multiple conclusions.
A hypergraph category is a monoidal category whose string diagrams are hypergraphs.
The name “hypergraph category” is more recent (Kissinger and Fong).
The same is probably true of relations in any regular category.
The category FinRel is not hypergraph when given the + monoidal structure.
Categories of decorated cospans and decorated corelations are hypergraph categories.
This is what enables the hypergraph string diagrams described informally above.
More general free hypergraph categories can be constructed using labeled cospans.
The morphisms are compatible cospans of functions (up to isomorphism).
A lax monoidal functor is the same thing as a monoid for the Day convolution.
Thus hypergraph categories are monoids in the presheaf category [Cospan Δ,Set].
This is called tachyon condensation.
String field theory aimed to provide that notion of action functional.
However, the algebraic expressions involved tend to be hard to handle in their complexity.
Little is known about the true quantum effects of the string field theory action functional.
So far string field theory is defined in terms of an action functional.
So, strictly speaking, it is defined as a classical field theory.

The notion of geometric theory has many different incarnations.
A geometric theory is a syntactic description of a Grothendieck topos.
Theories involving only these are examples of cartesian theories.
Theories involving only ∧, ⊤, and ∃ are regular theories.
Theories which add these to regular logic are called coherent theories.
The interpretation of arbitrary uses of ⇒ and ∀ requires a Heyting category.
The former admits a more concise axiomatisation as {⊤⊢⊥}.
Propositional theories are classified by localic toposes (see there for further information).
Similarly, the theory of fields of finite characteristic is geometric but not coherent.
The theory of the standard successor algebra is geometric.
The classifying topos is Set.
The theory of a real number is geometric.
The classifying topos of this theory is the topos of sheaves on the real numbers.
The theory of flat diagrams1 over a small category 𝒞 is geometric.
This theory is classified by the topos of presheaves over 𝒞.
(Elephant calls these torsors over 𝒞, generalizing the established terminology for groups.)
In fact, the models of the theory are the filtered colimits of representables.
This topos Set[T] is called the classifying topos of T.
We say that two geometric theories with equivalent classifying topoi are Morita equivalent.
The following approach is described in B4.2 of the Elephant.
One theory that should certainly be geometric is the theory of objects, O.
How can we construct more theories that ought to be geometric?
For any theory T, let’s call a transformation T→O a geometric construct.
The following definition is sort of a “halfway house” between logic and geometry.
Start with a first-order signature Σ (this is the logical part).
Equivalently, of course, this is a T-model in S[T′].
The composition of maps should be evident.
Stone duality for geometric theories is discussed in:
This is also sometimes called the theory of flat functors on 𝒞. ↩
Equivalently, it is the cohomological dual concept to stable homotopy homology theory.

A monad is called p.r.a.
if its functor part is p.r.a. and moreover its unit and multiplication are cartesian.
Thus in particular it is a cartesian monad.
A p.r.a. monad is also called a strongly cartesian monad.
It follows that any p.r.a. monad is a cartesian monad.
Note that by the definition of genericity, generic factorizations are unique whenever they exist.
This is Proposition 2.6 of (Weber08).
P.r.a. functors between presheaf categories have an especially nice form.
More details are in Remark 2.12 of (Weber08).
Thus T is a parametric right adjoint.
In the ordinary analysis of real numbers, the only infinitesimal number is zero.
There are several different ways to develop a rigorous theory that includes infinitesimal numbers.
According to this definition, 0 is always infinitesimal.
(Although the argument is even stronger here, since it’s always decidable?
So the interesting question is how to get other infinitesimals.
This results in a local integral domain if R is a field.
Instead of working with free infinitesimals, we could also work with nilpotent infintiesimals.
This requires working in an Archimedean ordered Artinian local ℝ -algebras.
Since A is an ordered ℝ-algebra, there is a strictly monotone ring homomorphism h:ℝ→A.
Zero is the only number in A which is both purely real and purely infinitesimal.
One could also work with partial functions instead of functions.
That is the approach taken by Abraham Robinson in nonstandard analysis.
Since infinitesimals were used to do calculus, then let's just do calculus.
This is the approach taken by Bill Lawvere and others in synthetic differential geometry.
I don't know much about this.
(This is also true for all the surreal infinitesimals.)
However, it is not clear whether any more precise comparison can be made.

Nontrivial: Every point x has a neighbourhood.

A pretopology can also be given by a base or subbase.
A pretopological space is a set equipped with a pretopological structure.
In this way, pretopological spaces and continuous maps form a category PreTop.
This relation satisfies the following properties:
In this way, every pretopological space becomes a convergence space.
Actually, we can do more.
Thus, PreTop is also a reflective subcategory of Conv.
Then U∘ is a neighbourhood of each of its members.

A set A is closed if it equals its preclosure.
(This result seems to require excluded middle.)
This terminology is based on the premise that a closure should be closed.)
In many cases this iteration stabilizes after finitely many terms.
The plus power S n seems to stabilise after n iterations.
And in a topological space, of course, it only takes one step.
In general, however, there can be transfinitely many terms in these sequences.
Note that an interior is open, and a closure is closed.
Therefore, “complete small category” is a safer term for our concept.)
In particular, any complete small category is a preorder.
A brief description of the argument can be found in the answer to this question.
See Hyland88 and HRR90 for details.
Complete small categories have applications to the modeling of impredicative polymorphism.
Suppose that there is a full subcategory C of Set that is small and complete.
At least at first glance, this requires C to be strongly complete.

The comparison morphism (Def. ) is injective on connected components.
But the remaining data is then all in γ(−).
The comparison morphism (Def. ) is surjective on connected components.

Lemma The comparison morphism (Def. ) is injective on fundamental groups.
The remaining data is γ(−):[0,1]×S n+2→Γ.
Therefore it is sufficient to consider the connected component of the trivial cocycle c.
Here, Lemma gives the surjectivity.

Connective spectra form a sub-(∞,1)-category of spectra Top←⊃ConnectSp(Top)↪Sp(Top).
These are the non-connective spectra.
For general spectra there is a notion of homotopy groups of negative degree.
The connective ones are precisely those for which all negative degree homotopy groups vanish.
Moreover, Spectra ≥0 is generated under small (∞,1)-colimits by the sphere spectrum.
These statements prolong to sheaves of spectra.
Exactly which pairs of sets of rational numbers can appear this way?
Similarly, U is inhabited.
Using open intervals This definition is due to Vickers15.
This is entirely constructive.
By (5), we have a<b<y for some b.
Applying (7), we have a<x or x<b.
Since x<b<y contradicts our assumptions, we have a<x.
Therefore, x and y are equal (as pairs of subsets).
In particular, connectedness of < corresponds to antisymmetry of ≤.
Thus every rational number is interpreted as a real number.
“Only if” is by condition (5).
Remark Equality of Dedekind cuts is stable (under double negation).
The conditions (5&6) are not really necessary.
In a similar vein, we can weaken (3,4,7) as follows:
(Actually, the somewhat weaker limited principle of omniscience seems to suffice.)
Any such set L of rational numbers is a lower cut.
Similarly, a set U that satisfies (2,4,6) is an upper cut.
Unlike the covering cuts in the previous section, these are actually of interest constructively.
In predicative mathematics, subsets are large and therefore are proper classes.
The definitions then become There is a rational number a such that L(a)=⊤.
There is a rational number b such that U(b)=⊤.
If L(a)=⊤, then there is a rational number a<b such that L(b)=⊤.
If U(b)=⊤, then there is a rational number a<b for some U(a)=⊤.
For example, we could start with the real algebraic numbers or the computable numbers.

For example equipping them with orthogonal structure encodes Riemannian geometry on manifolds.
This way differential and smooth manifolds are the basis for differential geometry.
They are the analogs in differential geometry of what schemes are in algebraic geometry.
In fact both of these concepts are unified within synthetic differential geometry.
For convenience, we first recall here some background on topological manifolds:
This is usually assumed to be the case.
Often a topological manifold (def. ) is required to be sigma-compact.
Moreover, manifolds with uncountably many connected components are rarely considered in practice.
For convenience we recall the definition of differentiable functions between Euclidean spaces.
Let n∈ℕ and let U⊂ℝ n be an open subset.
The map df x is called the derivative or differential of f at x.
We say that f is twice continuously differentiable if df is continuously differentiable.
The analog of the concept of homeomorphism (def. ) is now this:
Here we illustrate the differentiable case.
The following property, which holds at the continuous level, is essential.
Let F:X→Y be a continuous surjection.
Then Q is a sheaf on Y.
We can phrase the example of RP n in this language.
So far this only confirms that RP n is a real topological manifold.
Hence (RP n,𝒪 RP n) is a smooth manifold.
This defines a smooth structure (def. ) on ℝ n and D n.
Finally the n-sphere is a paracompact Hausdorff topological space.
Compact spaces are evidently also paracompact.
By this prop this implies that X is second-countable topological space.
For the differentiable structure we pick these Euclidean neighbourhoods from the given atlas.

There are various different perspectives on the notion of topos.
This is the archetypical topos itself.
The internal logic of toposes is intuitionistic higher order logic.
(This is even more true once we pass to (∞,1)-toposes.)
‘A topos is a Morita equivalence class of continuous groupoids’
The general notion of topos is that of Elementary toposes.
The above is the definition of an elementary topos.
Every topos is an extensive category.
For Grothendieck toposes, infinitary extensivity is part of the characterizing Giraud's theorem.
For elementary toposes, see toposes are extensive.
Every topos is an adhesive category.
For more on that see AT category.
The internal language of a topos is called Mitchell-Bénabou language.
The archetypical topos is Set.
This is not a Grothendieck topos.
See also over-topos.
An example is the double-negation topology.
Set <κ doesn’t even admit a geometric morphism to Set.
It has an initial object which is sometimes called the free topos.
Such toposes (for a consistent theory) are never Grothendieck’s.
If C and D are Grothendieck toposes then Gl(F) is a Set-topos.
If the comonad is not accessible, then this topos is unbounded.
Realizability toposes are generally not Grothendieck toposes.
A topos can also be constructed from any tripos.
This includes realizability toposes as well as toposes of sheaves on locales.
For various applications one uses toposes that have extra structure or properties.

Thus, constructively, not every locale is overt.
An open subspace U is positive if and only if it is inhabited.

Another very useful piece of notation is V p=V −p.
These are merely for convenience and have little or no mathematical significance.

But there are several interesting dualities between subcategories of these.
Stone duality is often described for topological spaces rather than for locales.
Any distributive lattice generates a free frame.
Note that one must additionally restrict to “coherent maps” between coherent locales.
Therefore, the category of Stone spaces is dual to the category of Boolean algebras.
The Boolean algebra corresponding to a Stone space consists of its clopen sets.
This duality may be realized via a dualizing object as follows.
A Stone space is by definition a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff topological space.
Let Stone↪CH denote the full subcategory of Stone spaces.
See complete Boolean algebra for more information.
The previous duality says that these categories are equivalent when T is the identity theory.

Every polynomial monad is a p.r.a. monad.
Since all polynomial functors preserve pullbacks, a polynomial monad is necessarily a cartesian monad.
Thus, all the data of a polynomial monad can be described very concretely.
Polynomial monads have close relations with a number of other notions.
Polynomial monads have a natural interpretation in terms of object classifiers.
This comes with source and target functors Cart(C)/g⇉C.

This construction generalizes to pyknotic objects for any (∞,1)-category.
The global sections functor is given by evaluation at the one-point compactum.
The topos of pyknotic sets is thus not cohesive (BarHai 19, 2.2.14).
Pyknotic sets can be described as sheaves on several different sites.
So they can be understood as models for a large Lawvere theory.
A pyknotic set carries finite coproducts to products in Set.

Sublocales Sublocales Idea A sublocale is a subspace of a locale.
There are multiple equivalent ways to formally define this concept.
This map is the nucleus j.
Then j is the nucleus corresponding to the sublocale L→L/E.
Given a nucleus j:L→L, the subset j(L) is a sublocale.
Of course, every locale L is a sublocale of itself.
Conversely, every locale has an empty sublocale, given by j ∅(U)≔L.
Suppose that U is an open in the locale L.

Differential linear logic is an extension of linear logic.
New inference rules are added which allow to differentiate proofs.

There are two ways to present the syntax in sequent calculus.
There are no novelties concerning formulas compared to linear logic.
We will work with the formulas of Multiplicative Exponential Linear Logic (MELL).
Formulas are given by induction starting from atoms and applying connectives.

If we have two formulas A,B, we can form A⅋B.

If we have a formula A, we put (?A) ⊥=!A ⊥.
We have ⊥ ⊥=1.
We have preferred writting directly all the equalities of pratical use.
Inference rules will allow us to build proofs.
Notice that compared to MELL, we need the ability to sum proofs.
We give an explicit rule for this summation of proofs.
We give also a rule for null proofs.

When it is satisfied, (𝒯,R) is called a smooth topos.
The study of these is known as synthetic differential geometry.
Another notion of infinitesimals has arisen in the context of nonstandard analysis.
Here is how to think of what this definition means intuitively.
Now let Σ be any other space.
But suppose that Σ were infinitesimal.
These violate the finite-dimensionality assumption on J.
There are several different objects that one may think of as an infinitesimal interval.
This is described in more detail at infinitesimal interval object.

So modulo x 2, every smooth function is in fact a polynomial function.
See pages 19-20 of MSIA.
All of the infinitesimal spaces above are contained in the corresponding infinitesimal neighbourhood.
So this is the “largest” of the infinitesimal spaces discussed here.
Much of this is being reworked at infinity-Lie algebroid.
Notice that this implies also that ∀i,i′,j:ϵ i jϵ i′ j=0.
But this is indeed the case.

This subspace is precisely that of differential k-forms.
This we now describe in detail.
We have already seen that degreewise the vector spaces in question are isomorphic.
It remains to check that the differentials agree.
So this is indeed the action of the de Rham differential.
Discussion of infinitesimals goes back to Leibniz.
It was from this insight that synthetic differential geometry was eventually developed.

This shows the statement for the special case that X=Int(A)∪Int(U).

So operations and parameters can have higher homotopy.
We start with the simplest non-trivial example, when I≡1 the unit type.

Then the ideal generated by a,x is principal, say (b).
Thus (x) has no proper extension: (x) is maximal.
In an integral domain we conclude 1=vb; thus b is a unit.
(For the converse statement, see here.)
Define a homomorphism p j:M∩F ≤j→R by p j((x,r))=r.
We claim that {m k:k∈K} forms a basis for M.
First we prove linear independence of {m k}.
The assertion now follows by induction.
Now, we have p j(m)=r⋅r j for some r; put m′=m−rm j.
Thus the m k generate M, as claimed.
A subgroup of a free abelian group is also free abelian.
In particular, submodules of projective modules are projective.
By Theorem , it follows that M is free.
Let R be a pid.
Then an R-module M is torsionfree if and only if it is flat.
In the other direction, suppose M is torsionfree.
For the converse, let φ be an arbitrary proposition.
Consider the ideal {x∈ℤ|(x=0)∨φ}.
In the first case ¬φ holds, in the second φ.
However, this ideal cannot be proved to be finitely generated either.

Boolean rings and the ring homomorphisms between them form a category BooRng.
R has characteristic 2 (meaning that x+x=0 for all x):2x=4x−2x=4x 2−2x=(2x) 2−2x=2x−2x=0.
Define x∨y to mean x+xy+y.
Thus R is a distributive lattice.
Next define ¬x to be x+1.
Then: ¬x is a pseudocomplement of x (meaning that x(¬x)=0):x(¬x)=x(x+1)=x 2+x=2x=0.
Then R is a Boolean ring.
In fact, we have: Boolean rings and Boolean algebras are equivalent.
The most common example is the power set P(S) of any set S.
This terminology applied also to Boolean rings, and it changed even more slowly.
This distinction survives most in the terminology of σ-rings and σ-algebras.

And that is indeed what G-equivariant elliptic cohomology assigns to the point.
This last statement appears as (Lurie 09, remark 5.2).
On the cohomological side this corresponds to a twist of the cohomology theory.
It essentially amounts to the discussion of diagram (0.0.4 b).
Let G be a compact Lie group.
Write T↪G for its maximal torus and W for its Weyl group.
Write Orb(G) for the orbit category of G.
So let G be a simple, simply connected compact Lie group.
Regard BG in Smooth∞Grpd = Sh ∞(SmthMfd).
This is the Hitchin connection.
So we should get an A-(∞,1)-module bundle modulated by χ:[B[E,𝔾 m],BG]⟶BGL 1(A).
And that should be the G-“equivariant” elliptic cohomology of the point.
This state of affairs is hinted at in (Lurie, section 5.1).

Remark on terminology There are various different terms for “dualizing objects”.
Todd Trimble then suggested the term “ambimorphic object.”
Another suggestion was “Janusian object.”
The representing data ϕ∈USb,ψ∈VTa induce a canonical isomorphism ω:Ua→∼Vb.
It is given by the evident composite Ua→UηaUSTa→∼B(Ta,b)→Set(VTa,Vb)→eval ψVb.
With notation as above, put x=ω¯(y), so x=(Uf)(ϕ)∈Ua.
Here then is one key definition.
See Dimov-Tholen, Proposition 2.3, where the proof is sketched.
Thus naturally represented adjoint pairs could be equivalently described as certain types of ambimorphic objects.
Thus each x∈Ua induces a map −⋅ Ux:A(a,a)→Ua.
Similarly, each y∈Vb induces a map −⋅ Vy:B(b,b)→Vb.
The arity of the operation is n.
Sets with finitary operations are called finitary magmas or finitary groupoids.
More generally, a finitary operation in a multicategory is just a multimorphism.
More generally, one could use an arbitrary set instead of a finite set.
However, the generalizations are only definable in closed multicategories, rather than any multicategory.

Beware that the converse statement is far from being true.
This second property is a “2-categorical orthogonality.”
It also implies an additional factorization property for 2-cells.
The following are all factorization systems on the 2-category Cat.
Many of them have analogues in more general 2-categories.

An algebraic theory T is a Malcev theory when T contains a Malcev operation.
The hypothesis is that internal reflexive relations and internal equivalence relations coincide.
But (internal) reflexive relations are clearly closed under composition: Δ=Δ∘Δ⊆R∘S.
Thus we must exhibit a suitable element t of F(3).
An operation t∈F(3) is Malcev precisely when ϕ(t)=bψ(t)=a

It is based on some impromptu talks given to a small group of category theorists.
I am no expert on topos theory.
These notes are for people even less expert than me.
Section 1 explains the definition of topos.
The remaining three sections discuss some of the connections between topos theory and other subjects.
Section 2 is on connections between topos theory and set theory.
There are two themes here.
This provides an appealing alternative to ZFC.
This is the story of classifying toposes.
There are elementary toposes and Grothendieck toposes.
Grothendieck toposes are categories of sheaves.
Elementary toposes are slightly more general, and the definition is simpler.
They are what I will emphasize here.
In the category of sets, inverse images are a special case of pullbacks.
Next consider characteristic functions of subsets.
This property of sets can now be stated in purely categorical terms.
We use ↣ to indicate a mono (= monomorphism = monic).
Let ℰ be a category with finite limits.
To understand this further, we need two lemmas.
In any category, the pullback of a mono is a mono.
So, pulling 𝗍:1→Ω back along any map X→Ω gives a mono into X.
Let ℰ be a category and let T↣𝗍Ω be a mono in ℰ.
Then T is terminal in ℰ.
This leads to a second description of subobject classifiers.
Then a subobject classifier is exactly a terminal object of Mono(ℰ).
Here is a third way of looking at subobject classifiers.
It is a harmless abuse of language, which I will adopt.
Assume also that ℰ has pullbacks.
This defines a functor Sub:ℰ op→Set.
Now we show that this is equivalent to the original definition.
In other words, it is a subobject classifier.
The primordial topos is Set.
It has special properties not shared by most other toposes.
This is the subject of Section 2.
Its subobject classifier is the set 2 with trivial G-action.
This is the subject of Section 3.
Sheaves will be defined and explained in Section 3.
The category FinSet of finite sets is a topos.
You might ask ‘why is the definition of topos what it is?
What’s the motivation?’
More spectacularly, the axioms imply that every topos has finite colimits.
But monadic functors create limits, and ℰ has finite limits.
Hence ℰ op has finite limits; that is, ℰ has finite colimits.
It also provides an invaluable insight into topos theory as a whole.
The terminal object 1 is a separator (generator).
It is worth dwelling on what this says.
(We might harmlessly write both f∘x and f(x) as fx.)
The property above says that if f(x)=g(x) for all x∈X then f=g.
In other words, a function is determined by its effect on elements.
Write 0 for the initial object of Set (the empty set).
Equivalently, Set is not equivalent to the terminal category 𝟙.
A topos satisfying properties 1 and 2 is called well-pointed.
What are the ‘the natural numbers’, though?
Let ℰ be a category with a terminal object, 1.
Property 3 is, then, that Set has a natural numbers object.
The existence of such splittings is precisely the Axiom of Choice.
But what is this thing called ‘the category of sets’?
It is this: we take the properties above as our axioms on sets.
‘The’ category of sets is any category satisfying these axioms.
But in fact, ETCS does not depend on the general notion of category.
It can be stated without using the word ‘category’ once.
To see this, we need to back up a bit.
People seeing this (or the formal version) often ask certain questions.
What does ‘some things’ mean?
Do you mean that there is a set of sets?
What exactly is meant by ‘binary relation’?
What do you mean, ‘deemed’?
To hide behind jargon, ZFC is a first-order theory.
You can do it in about ten axioms.
Here ends the digression.
ZFC axiomatizes sets and membership, whereas ETCS axiomatizes sets and functions.
ZFC is slightly stronger than ETCS.
‘Slightly’ is meant in a sociological sense.
The technical relationship between ZFC and ETCS is well understood.
See Section 8 of McLarty (2004) for details.
Topos theory therefore provides a different viewpoint on set theory.
A sheaf can similarly be understood as a set varying through space.
This language is called the ‘internal language’ of the topos.
Such is the case for the internal language.
I will therefore describe the idea in a much more basic setting.
A generalized element of X is simply a map in ℰ with codomain X.
This language of generalized elements is the internal language of the category.
It fits well with ordinary categorical terminology and notation?.
For example, let ℰ be a category with finite products.
The internal language is a massively labour-saving device.
First it has to be stated diagrammatically.
(It seems to need at least ten or so inner diagrams.)
But once you have an elementwise proof, all this effort is unnecessary.
Let X be a topological space.
Write Open(X) for its poset of open subsets.
A presheaf on X is a functor F:Open(X) op→Set.
This difference can be captured by asking the following question.
The first example above, with continuous functions, is a sheaf.
The proof can be split into two parts.
This is because boundedness is not a local property.
There is also an abstract categorical explanation of where the concept of sheaf comes from.
Write the equivalence obtained from the adjunction above as Sh(X)≃←→Et(X).
See Mac Lane and Moerdijk (1994) for details.
One way or another, we have the category Sh(X) of sheaves on X.
Its subobject classifier Ω is given by Ω(U)={open subsets of U}.
So the class of topological spaces embeds into the class of toposes.
We can think of toposes as generalized spaces.
For example, suppose you hear someone talking about ‘connected toposes’.
The next few subsections are all examples of this generalization process.
So far I have said nothing about maps between toposes.
Such a functor is called a logical morphism.
It can be derived by generalizing from topology.
This is not obvious.
It is a fact that f * preserves finite limits.
So now we know what continuous maps look like in topos-theoretic terms.
We duly generalize: Definition Let ℰ and ℱ be toposes.
(People often say ‘left exact left adjoint’.)
I will write Topos for the category of toposes and geometric morphisms.
(Really it’s a 2-category, in an obvious way.)
Since f * has a left adjoint, it preserves limits.
Hence (f *,f *) is a geometric morphism ℂ^→𝔻^.
It is called sheafification or the associated sheaf functor.
So the inclusion of sheaves into presheaves is a geometric morphism.
In other words, sheafifying a sheaf does not change it.
Let us generalize another concept of topology.
But Sh(1)=Psh(1)=Set, so we make the following definition.
So maybe subtoposes of presheaf toposes are relatively easy too.
They have a special name: Definition
Hence Sh(X) is a Grothendieck topos.
Being Grothendieck is generally thought of as a mild condition on a topos.
Fix a small category ℂ.
(There are axioms.)
The following two paragraphs may make it seem easier, or harder.
First, there is an explicit classification of the subtoposes of any topos ℰ.
Calling these the ‘covering sieves’ gives the notion of Grothendieck topology.
I will also explain why topos theorists are fond of jokes about pointless topology.
The idea now is to split the process X↦Sh(X) into two steps.
A map of frames is a map preserving order, joins and finite meets.
This gives a functor Open:TopSp→Frame op.
We now perform a linguistic manoeuvre.
Frame op is the desired category of ‘pointless spaces’.
We can wholeheartedly say that a locale is a pointless space.
This is the two-step process mentioned above.
This means that Loc is equivalent to a full subcategory of Topos.
Every locale gives rise to a topos—but the converse is also true.
Given a topos ℰ, the subobjects of 1 form a poset Sub ℰ(1).
Assuming that ℰ has enough colimits, Sub ℰ(1) is a frame.
This process defines a functor Topos → Loc ℰ ↦ Sub ℰ(1).
Now a wonderful thing is true.
The functor just defined is left adjoint to the inclusion Sh:Loc↪Topos.
This means that Loc is (equivalent to) a reflective subcategory of Topos.
Hence the counit is an isomorphism: X≅Sub Sh(X)(1) for any locale X.
This is how you recover a locale from its topos of sheaves.
It is reasonable to say that a locale is a special sort of topos.
In that sense, locale theory is the study of truth values.
(This result is due to Street (1981).
‘Almost’ refers to a set-theoretic size condition.)
How much has been lost by passing from topological spaces to locales?
In fact, some things are gained.
But it is a theorem that every subgroup of a localic group is closed.
See for instance Section C5.3 of Johnstone (2003).
As mentioned above, every adjunction restricts canonically to an equivalence between full subcategories.
Sobriety amounts to a rather mild separation condition.
For example, every Hausdorff space is sober.
There is a kind of attitudinal paradox here.
In our example, they are the internal groups in ℰ.
But there are other ways of looking at such theories.
Consider the free finite product category 𝒯 equipped with an internal group.
(There are general reasons why such a thing must exist.)
Concretely, 𝒯 looks something like this.
It must contain an object X, the underlying object of the internal group.
This category 𝒯 is called the Lawvere theory of groups.
The same goes for rings, lattices, etc.
Some people say that an algebraic theory is just a finite product category.
Others say that algebraic theories correspond to finite product categories.
Terminology aside, we can play the same game for other classes of limit.
In a category with finite limits you can talk about both.
There is a trade-off here.
(You also make more work for yourself.)
(You also increase your fuel costs.)
Take monoidal categories, for instance.
We can speak of internal monoids in any monoidal category.
(This is in fact the category of finite ordinals.)
We might define a monoidal theory to be a small monoidal category.
It is a sketch of the context in which classifying toposes can be understood.
Let ℰ be a topos.
Let R be a commutative ring in ℰ.
So, define U↣R by the factorization f=(P↠U↣R).
In other words, it states that the map 1+U→R is epi.
Here we have used the fact that every topos has coproducts, written +.
This gives a hint of how the process can be mechanized.
You now have the choice between a short story and a long story.
These are called logical morphisms.
The more popular notion of map of toposes is that of geometric morphism.
The corresponding theories are the geometric theories.
Every geometric theory has a classifying topos.
There are two surprises here.
The bigger surprise is the reversal of direction.
As the name suggests, the choice that society made was motivated by geometry.
(This is an aspect of the thought that geometry is dual to algebra.)
Some familiar topological spaces can be construed as classifying toposes.
We will need the notion of finite presentability.
Finite presentability is a more categorical concept than it might seem.
This formulation of finite presentability in Grp uses the free group functor F.
I will not go into this.
As promised, the classifying topos for groups is easy to describe:
The classifying topos for groups is Set Grp fp.
The same goes for other algebraic theories.
This yields something interesting even for very trivial theories.
Hence for any topos ℰ, objects of ℰ correspond to geometric morphisms ℰ→Set FinSet.
The topos Set FinSet is therefore called the object classifier.
There are clean answers to this reversed question for many toposes 𝒯.
Here I will just tell you the answer for a smaller class of toposes.
Then the presheaf topos ℂ^ classifies finite-limit-preserving functors out of ℂ.
This is one version of Diaconescu's Theorem.)
In many cases, this translation is surprisingly straightforward.

Given an object c∈C, one considers the representable functor Hom 𝒞(−,c)=:Δ c.
By the Yoneda lemma, they correspond to the natural transformations Δ c→X.
(This is another name for the category of elements of X.)
In particular, one then has an equivalence of categories Ho(𝒞Set)≅Ho(Cat).
This is due to (Cisinski) with further developments due to (Jardine).
Such a model category structure is always proper.

The cycle category of Connes is a local test category.
It is a test category if both 𝒜 and 𝒞 have weakly contractible nerves.

and led to the preference for simplicial sets over cubical sets.
That fact that the tree category is a test category was proved in

Variations (some only terminological) include lextensive, disjunctive, and positive categories.
Finite coproducts are van Kampen colimits.
All small coproducts are van Kampen colimits.
Extensive categories are also called positive categories, especially if they are also coherent.
Note that any disjoint coproduct in a coherent category is automatically pullback-stable.
A positive coherent category which is also exact is called a pretopos.
If an extensive category also has finite limits, it is called lextensive or disjunctive.
See familial regularity and exactness for a generalization of extensivity and its relationship to exactness.
Any extensive category with finite products is automatically a distributive category.
We call this the extensive coverage or extensive topology.
The codomain fibration of any extensive category is a stack for its extensive topology.
See superextensive site for more details.
Regular/exact categories have quotients of (some) congruences.
Similarly, pre-/lextensive categories have disjoint unions.
Pre-lextensive categories also suffice for the interpretation of disjunctive logic.
Any free coproduct completion is extensive.
The category Top of topological spaces is infinitary lextensive.
The category of schemes is infinitary lextensive.
Some details may be found here.
The category Cat is infinitary lextensive.
Example The category Vect is not even finitely extensive.
Proposition (in extensive categories connected objects are primitive under coproduct)
Another useful fact is that any extensive category with finite products is distributive.
The definition given below combines elements from the work of all three.
And why should we expect everything to be enriched in higher groupoids anyway?
A priori this may seem arbitrary (although it certainly works very well).
How can we even correctly formulate such a question?
Thus, a prederivator is a “Cat-valued presheaf” on Dia.
There are two main motivating examples.
This defines an embedding of Cat into PDer.
A derivator is a prederivator D which satisfies a list of axioms.
These axioms are of two sorts.
Specifically, we require the following.
Intuitively, this says that the Kan extensions in question are pointwise.
The second set of axioms are “sheaf” conditions.
But we do need some sheaf-like properties in order to do category theory.
They can also be understood as 2-categorical sketch conditions.
Sometimes we require this only for finite coproducts.
In particular, we have D(∅)=1. (Der2)
For any X∈Dia, consider the family of functors x:1→X determined by the objects of X.
There is substantial variation in (Der5).
Thus the derivator encodes the notions of homotopy colimit and of homotopy limit.
We have a dual notion of pointwise right extension.
Clearly a semiderivator is a derivator just when it is both complete and cocomplete.
This means that homotopy colimits of constant diagrams of shapes I and J are equivalent.
This was proven by Heller using the canonical enrichment of any derivator over ∞-groupoids.
Hence g * is also fully faithful and so g is a D-equivalence.
The other case is dual.
Let W D denote the class of D-equivalences in Dia.
Since Φ inverts D-equivalences, it factors through Dia[W D −1].
For any D, the class of D-equivalences is a basic localizer.
Saturation gives 2-out-of-3 property and closure under retracts.
By (Der2) it suffices to check this for any c∈C.
Thus, the derivator axioms say that all comma squares are exact.
Specifically, we have f=sr and g=tr.
But this says exactly that r is a D-equivalence.
“If” follows directly from Theorem and the previous theorem.
Example applications can be found at homotopy exact square.
We can consider now the 2-category of derivators.
Let us write Der ! for the 2-category whose morphisms preserve colimits.
Then one may guess that some notion of higher groupoid might do the job.
Axiom Der 5 is discussed in Theorem 9.8.5 in (Radulescu Banu).
We define the homotopy prederivator of C by Ho(C)(X)=Ho(C X).
A proof of this is sketched in GPS, Example 2.5.
For instance, see Remark 5.4 and Example 5.5 in Lagkas-Nikolos.
This is shown in (Renaudin 2006).
See at Ho(CombModCat) for more.
However, an actual proof of this seems to be missing.
The term derivator is originally due to Grothendieck, introduced in Pursuing Stacks .
This property no longer holds for condensed ∞-groupoids, and hypercovers are now necessary.

Alg (inft) is a compactly generated (∞,1)-category.
This is HTT, prop. 5.5.8.10.
There is a model category structure on these (see there).
See model structure on simplicial T-algebras.
This is due to (Quillen).
This is due to (Bergner).
A comprehensive statement of these facts is in HTT, section 5.5.9.
We may regard T as an (∞,1)-category and consider its (∞,1)-algebras.
By the above discussion, these are modeled by product-presering functors T→sSet.
Such functors are called homotopy T-algebras.
For the moment see section 4 of (Rezk) Structure-(∞,1)-sheaves

Let X be a totally ordered set of indeterminants.
Let R be a ring.
(Copied from noncommutative symmetric function as the two concepts are often studied together.)
See LHCb 19, p. 2 for how the new numbers come about.
Thus the new measurements actually fit better with new physics.
The new result (59) further strengthens the lepton flavor universality violation.
present data deviates from the SM predictions at 4.3σ.
This seems to make all the apparent anomalies disappear.
we show that current data no longer provide strong hints for NP.
Some authors therefore begin to speak jointly of muon anomalies (GST 21).
Exclusive anomalies could be confirmed at the 6σ level.
Therefore this subject stands concrete chances to usher genuinely unexpected discoveries.

Idea Generalized contact geometry is the odd dimensional analogue of generalized complex geometry.
This is subsumed by treating interpretations as functors out of syntactic categories.
In the language of categorical logic, interpretations are representations of theories inside some category C.
, we get models in the sense usually studied in model theory.
In particular, models of T are points of Set in ℰ(T).
Several numbers are named after Euler.
All odd-numbered members of the sequence vanish: E 2k−1=0 for k∈ℕ.

For more on this aspect see at Klein geometry and Cartan geometry.
We reformulate the traditional definition above from the nPOV, in terms of homotopy theory.
This is the stabilizer group.
This characterization immediately generalizes to stabilizer ∞-groups of ∞-group actions.
Write BG∈H for its delooping object.
By the discussion at ∞-action we have the following.
In particular there is hence a canonical homomorphism of ∞-groups Stab ρ(x)⟶G.
Hence the action is free.
Let X→X//G→ρBG be an ∞-action of G on X.
(See at Klein geometry – History.)

The Tychonoff theorem for locales states that a small product of compact locales is compact.
This is just the dual form of the general result recounted here.
The nullary coproduct is the monoidal unit in Sup.
This is the unit for the smc structure on Sup: we have [2,X]≅X.
A preframe map is a poset map that preserves finite meets and directed joins.
A frame is a fortiori a preframe.
Then X is compact iff χ ⊤ is a preframe map.
The following proposition is easily checked.
Before giving the proof, we might as well say where it comes from.
Call this preframe map h.
Thus we have shown h=χ ⊤ X⊗Y is a preframe map.
This way rational homotopy theory connects homotopy theory and differential graded algebra.
See this remark at model structure for L-∞ algebras.)
Rational homotopy theory is mostly restricted to simply connected topological spaces.
This is due to (Serre 53).
Still, it follows the same general pattern.
See differential forms on presheaves for more.
Recall that by the homotopy hypothesis theorem, Top is equivalent to sSet.
Therefore set in the above C≔Δ.
For more details see at differential forms on simplices.
We discuss the definition of polynomial differential forms on topological spaces in more detail.
Explicitly this means the following.
This is a smooth manifold diffeomorphic to the Cartesian space ℝ n.
This is the dg-algebra of polynomial differential forms.
(See remark below for what this means.)
In particular this means that A=(∧ •,d) is a semifree dgc-algebra.
Minimal Sullivan models (def. ) are unique up to isomorphism.
For full exposition see at geometry of physics – homotopy types.
We discuss the minimal Sullivan models of rational n-spheres.
That is accomplished by the second generator ω 4k−1.
For instance the 4-sphere has rational homotopy in degree 4 and 7.

Let C={a→c←b} be the pullback diagram category.
Every object f∈[C,sSet] inj is cofibrant.
Richard Thompson’s group, T was the first known finitely presented infinite simplegroup.
Of course this is an extremely general notion of spaces modeled on C.
It should be C(X,U):=Hom Spaces S(X,U).
This defines a covariant functor C(X):=Hom Spaces S(X,−):S→Sets.
Lawvere refers to this adjoint pair as Isbell conjugation.
Let V be a symmetric monoidal category and C a V-enriched category.
For a summary see the tables at notions of space.
Each V-category C/x is V-cartesian closed.
More generally, whenever the underlying-set functor V(I,−):V→Set is conservative.
However, the converse is false in general.
Recall the following properties of a Borel measure μ on a Hausdorff topological space:
μ is inner regular on some Borel subset B if μ(B)=sup{μ(K)∣K⊂BandKiscompact}.
Equivalently, one can simply say that m(B)=sup{M(B′)∣B′⊂B,M(B′)isfinite,B′isBorel}.
We give three equivalent definitions of Radon measures.
In order to pass from m to M, set M(B)=inf{m(V)∣V⊃BandVisopen}.
A Radon measure is σ-finite if m is σ-finite.
A Radon measure is moderated if M is σ-finite.
Suppose X is a locally compact Hausdorff topological space.
(For σ-finite spaces we have μ *=μ *¯.)
For example, continuous maps are Lusin μ-measurable for any μ.
Lusin μ-measurable maps form a sheaf with respect to X.
Step functions and lower semicontinuous maps are always Lusin μ-measurable.
Suppose H:X→Y is a μ-proper map.
The pushforward measure H *μ is a Radon measure on Y defined as follows.
This yields a Radon measure m on Y.
A Radon measure on a Hausdorff space is τ-additive.
The converse is true on a compact Hausdorff space.
Radon probability measures on compact Hausdorff spaces form a monad: the Radon monad.
(See also monads of probability, measures and valuations.)
Most measures of interest in geometry are Radon.
The result is a pretriangulated dg-category.
The dg-category D(T) is pretriangulated.
Syntomic cohomology is the abelian sheaf cohomology of the syntomic site of a scheme.
It is a p-adic analogue of Deligne-Beilinson cohomology.
The syntomic cohomology may also be obtained from prismatic cohomology (Bhatt22).
It has an action of the Frobenius morphism ϕ.
This leads to the following definition.
We will refer to an object classifier satisfying (2) above as a universe.
Specifically, (r,r′) is the kernel pair of i.
Dually, j is monic.
Finally, since 0 is a strict initial object, 0→S is monic.
By the previous paragraph, f≃g, hence S≅0 and is initial.
In particular, we have “universe cumulativity”: Corollary
This is almost right, but it is not 0-truncated.
To be precise Corollary 2.31 in the paper gives the following construction:
Further, examples for the specific case of filter products are constructed.
Other than that, the main difference is that Joyal assumes only one fixed universe.

The restricted axiom is usually given a different name such as the axiom of separation.
Since the formula x∉x is not stratifiable, the set R cannot be formed.

We have already, trivially, generalized the cross product to other ground fields.
In dimension 7, there are uncountably many binary cross products.
In any other finite dimension, there are no binary cross products at all.
Binary cross products are closely related to normed division algebras (NDAs).
(See also volume form.)
In 3 dimensions, this also recovers the classical cross product.
If 4≤k<n−1, then there are no cross products.
If k=n, then there are no cross products.
If k≥n+1, then there is one cross product (always 0).
In general, this produces the binary (n−2)-vector-valued cross product.
