Information Operators in Categorical Information Spaces

open access: yesInformation, 2010
The general theory of information (GTI) is a synthetic approach, which reveals the essence of information, organizing and encompassing all main directions in information theory.

Mathematical Models of Abstract Systems: Knowing abstract geometric forms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Scientists use models to know the world. It i susually assumed that mathematicians doing pure mathematics do not. Mathematicians doing pure mathematics prove theorems about mathematical entities like sets, numbers, geometric figures, spaces, etc., they ...

Orbit categories, classifying spaces, and generalized homotopy fixed points [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We give a new description of Rosenthal's generalized homotopy fixed point spaces as homotopy limits over the orbit category. This is achieved using a simple categorical model for classifying spaces with respect to families of subgroups.Comment: 10 pages.

2-Group Representations for Spin Foams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Just as 3d state sum models, including 3d quantum gravity, can be built using categories of group representations, "2-categories of 2-group representations" may provide interesting state sum models for 4d quantum topology, if not quantum gravity. Here we

Testing for Network and Spatial Autocorrelation

open access: yes, 2020
Testing for dependence has been a well-established component of spatial statistical analyses for decades. In particular, several popular test statistics have desirable properties for testing for the presence of spatial autocorrelation in continuous ...

A geometry of information, I: Nerves, posets and differential forms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The main theme of this workshop (Dagstuhl seminar 04351) is `Spatial Representation: Continuous vs. Discrete'. Spatial representation has two contrasting but interacting aspects (i) representation of spaces' and (ii) representation by spaces.

The evolution of representation in simple cognitive networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Representations are internal models of the environment that can provide guidance to a behaving agent, even in the absence of sensory information. It is not clear how representations are developed and whether or not they are necessary or even essential ...

Canonical Maps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Categorical foundations and set-theoretical foundations are sometimes presented as alternative foundational schemes. So far, the literature has mostly focused on the weaknesses of the categorical foundations.

Some applications of the ultrapower theorem to the theory of compacta [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The ultrapower theorem of Keisler-Shelah allows such model-theoretic notions as elementary equivalence, elementary embedding and existential embedding to be couched in the language of categories (limits, morphism diagrams). This in turn allows analogs of

The wonderland of reflections

open access: yes, 2017
A fundamental fact for the algebraic theory of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) over a fixed template is that pp-interpretations between at most countable \omega-categorical relational structures have two algebraic counterparts for their ...
