Primitive Direcursion and Difunctorial Semantics of Typed Object Calculus Primitive Direcursion and Difunctorial Semantics of Typed Object Calculus Johan Glimming Doctoral Thesis in Computer Science at Stockholm University, Sweden 2007 The fi rst part of this thesis consists of two research papers and concerns the fi eld of denotational semantics of typed object calculus, i.e., a for- malism for object-based programming. It provides a category-theoretic semantics based on partial maps subject to an algebraic compactness assumption. This semantics interprets types as mixed-variant functors (so-called difunctors) and is therefore termed difunctorial. In addition, we prove computational soundness and adequacy results for typed ob- ject calculus via Plotkin’s FPC, thus providing a class of computatio- nally adequate models for an extended fi rst-order typed object calculus (with recursive objects supporting method update, but not subtyping). Taken together, this provides a mathematical foundation for studying program algebras for object-based programming languages. The second part (which appeared at CALCO 2007, Springer-Ver- lag) deals with recursion principles on datatypes, including the untyped lambda calculus as a special case. Freyd showed that, in certain domain theoretic categories, locally continuous functors have minimal invari- ants, which possess a structure that he termed dialgebra. This gives rise to a category of dialgebras and homomorphisms, where the minimal in- variants are initial, inducing a powerful recursion scheme (direcursion) on a complete partial order. We identify a problem that appears when we translate (co)iterative functions to direcursion, and as a solution to this problem we develop a recursion scheme (primitive direcursion). This immediately gives a number of examples of direcursive functions, improving on the situation in the literature where only a few examples have appeared. By means of a case study, this line of work is connected to object calculus models. Johan Glimming received his BSc (in Computer Sci- ence) from Uppsala University, and his MSc (in Mat- hematics and the Foundations of Computer Science) from University of Oxford. In 2005, he received the title of Licentiate of Philosophy at Stockholm Univer- sity. issn 1653-5723 isbn 978-91-7155-550-2 Department of Numerical Analysis and Computer Science STOCKHOLM UNIVERSITY, SWEDEN TRITA-CSC-A 2007:22 Stockholms Universitet ISSN 1653-5723 Numerisk analys och datalogi (KTH CSC) ISRN-KTH/CSC/A–07/22–SE SE-100 44 Stockholm ISBN 978-91-7155-550-2 SWEDEN Akademisk avhandling som med tillstånd av Stockholms Universitet framlagges¨ till offentlig granskning for¨ avlaggande¨ av doktorsavhandling den 9 januari 2008 kl 14.00 i sal F3, Lindstedtsvagen¨ 26 (infart Valhallavagen¨ /Drottning Kristinas vag),¨ Kungl Tekniska hogskolan,¨ Stockholm. © Johan Glimming, November 22, 2007 Tryck: Universitetsservice US-AB iii Abstract This thesis concerns two closely related lines of research: (i) We contribute to the se- mantics of typed object calculus by giving (a) a denotational semantics using partial maps making use of an algebraic compactness assumption on the ambient category, (b) a no- tion of “wrappers” by which algebraic datatypes can be represented as object types, and (c) proofs of computational soundness and adequacy of typed object calculus via Plotkin’s FPC (with lazy operational semantics), thus making every denotational model of FPC (with these properties) a computationally adequate model also for a first-order typed object cal- culus (with recursive objects supporting method update, but not subtyping). In this way, we give a mathematical foundation for studying program algebras for object-based program- ming languages, since a valid equation in the model is proved to induce operationally con- gruent terms in the language. For (c), we also develop a variation of Abadi and Cardelli’s first-order typed object calculus with recursive object types and sum types (and some other extensions), and prove subject reduction for this calculus. (ii) The second part concerns recursion principles on datatypes including the untyped lambda calculus as a special case. Freyd showed that in certain domain theoretic categories, locally continuous functors have minimal invariants which possess a structure that he termed dialgebra. This gives rise to a category of dialgebras and homomorphisms, where the minimal invariants are initial, in- ducing a powerful recursion scheme (direcursion) on a complete partial order. We identify a problem that appears when (co)iterative functions (on a fixed parameterised datatype) are translated to direcursion (on the same datatype), and as a solution to this problem we present a recursion scheme (primitive direcursion), generalising and symmetrising primi- tive (co)recursion for endofunctors. To this end, we give a uniform technique for translating (co)iterative maps into direcursive maps. This immediately gives a plethora of examples of direcursive functions, improving on the situation in the literature where only a few ex- amples have appeared. Moreover, an ad-hoc solution proposed elsewhere is avoided for the translated maps, while interesting new examples appear (bisimulations, higher-order coalgebra), also in the context of models of typed object calculus.

Chapter 1 Introduction This thesis concerns the denotational semantics approach to the semantics of pro- gramming languages. This approach is based on assigning elements in suitable mathematical structures to the various language constructions. To this end, we will be interested in object-based programming languages, a class of program- ming languages based on entities known as objects, which consist of a family of self-referential methods acting on the object. These objects compute in response to method invocation or method update. The former stimulus is similar to function evaluation, but there is no argument or input, as the evaluation is with respect to the present self of the object, which provides a local state for the computations be- ing carried out. Method update makes change possible, and a sequence of method updates and method invocations together give the ability to simulate in particular purely functional programs, so that any partial recursive function can be repre- sented solely by objects.

  • Complete Objects in Categories
    Complete objects in categories James Richard Andrew Gray February 22, 2021 Abstract We introduce the notions of proto-complete, complete, complete˚ and strong-complete objects in pointed categories. We show under mild condi- tions on a pointed exact protomodular category that every proto-complete (respectively complete) object is the product of an abelian proto-complete (respectively complete) object and a strong-complete object. This to- gether with the observation that the trivial group is the only abelian complete group recovers a theorem of Baer classifying complete groups. In addition we generalize several theorems about groups (subgroups) with trivial center (respectively, centralizer), and provide a categorical explana- tion behind why the derivation algebra of a perfect Lie algebra with trivial center and the automorphism group of a non-abelian (characteristically) simple group are strong-complete. 1 Introduction Recall that Carmichael [19] called a group G complete if it has trivial cen- ter and each automorphism is inner. For each group G there is a canonical homomorphism cG from G to AutpGq, the automorphism group of G. This ho- momorphism assigns to each g in G the inner automorphism which sends each x in G to gxg´1. It can be readily seen that a group G is complete if and only if cG is an isomorphism. Baer [1] showed that a group G is complete if and only if every normal monomorphism with domain G is a split monomorphism. We call an object in a pointed category complete if it satisfies this latter condi- arXiv:2102.09834v1 [math.CT] 19 Feb 2021 tion.

  • Separable Commutative Rings in the Stable Module Category of Cyclic Groups
    SEPARABLE COMMUTATIVE RINGS IN THE STABLE MODULE CATEGORY OF CYCLIC GROUPS PAUL BALMER AND JON F. CARLSON Abstract. We prove that the only separable commutative ring-objects in the stable module category of a finite cyclic p-group G are the ones corresponding to subgroups of G. We also describe the tensor-closure of the Kelly radical of the module category and of the stable module category of any finite group. Contents Introduction1 1. Separable ring-objects4 2. The Kelly radical and the tensor6 3. The case of the group of prime order 14 4. The case of the general cyclic group 16 References 18 Introduction Since 1960 and the work of Auslander and Goldman [AG60], an algebra A over op a commutative ring R is called separable if A is projective as an A ⊗R A -module. This notion turns out to be remarkably important in many other contexts, where the module category C = R- Mod and its tensor ⊗ = ⊗R are replaced by an arbitrary tensor category (C; ⊗). A ring-object A in such a category C is separable if multiplication µ : A⊗A ! A admits a section σ : A ! A⊗A as an A-A-bimodule in C. See details in Section1. Our main result (Theorem 4.1) concerns itself with modular representation theory of finite groups: Main Theorem. Let | be a separably closed field of characteristic p > 0 and let G be a cyclic p-group. Let A be a commutative and separable ring-object in the stable category |G- stmod of finitely generated |G-modules modulo projectives.

  • Extra Examples for “Scott Continuity in Generalized Probabilistic Theories”
    Extra Examples for “Scott Continuity in Generalized Probabilistic Theories” Robert Furber May 27, 2020 1 Introduction The purpose of this note is to draw out some counterexamples using the con- struction described in [9]. In Section 3 we show that there is an order-unit space A such that there exist 2@0 pairwise non-isometric base-norm spaces E such that A =∼ E∗ as order-unit spaces. This contrasts with the case of C∗-algebras, where if there is a predual (and therefore the C∗-algebra is a W∗-algebra), it is unique. In Section 4 we show that there is a base-norm space E, whose dual order- unit space A = E∗ is therefore bounded directed-complete, such that there is a Scott-continuous unital map f : A ! A that is not the adjoint of any linear map g : E ! E. Again, this contrasts with the situation for W∗-algebras, where Scott-continuous maps A ! B correspond to adjoints of linear maps between preduals B∗ ! A∗. In Section 5 we show that there are base-norm and order- unit spaces E such that E =∼ E∗∗, but the evaluation mapping E ! E∗∗ is not an isomorphism, i.e. E is not reflexive, using an example of R. C. James from Banach space theory. In Section 6 we use an example due to J. W. Roberts to show that there are base-norm spaces E admitting Hausdorff vectorial topologies in which the base and unit ball are compact, but are not dual spaces, and similarly that there are order-unit spaces A admitting Hausdorff vectorial topologies in which the unit interval and unit ball are compact, but are not dual spaces.

  • Homological Algebra Lecture 1
    Homological Algebra Lecture 1 Richard Crew Richard Crew Homological Algebra Lecture 1 1 / 21 Additive Categories Categories of modules over a ring have many special features that categories in general do not have. For example the Hom sets are actually abelian groups. Products and coproducts are representable, and one can form kernels and cokernels. The notation of an abelian category axiomatizes this structure. This is useful when one wants to perform module-like constructions on categories that are not module categories, but have all the requisite structure. We approach this concept in stages. A preadditive category is one in which one can add morphisms in a way compatible with the category structure. An additive category is a preadditive category in which finite coproducts are representable and have an \identity object." A preabelian category is an additive category in which kernels and cokernels exist, and finally an abelian category is one in which they behave sensibly. Richard Crew Homological Algebra Lecture 1 2 / 21 Definition A preadditive category is a category C for which each Hom set has an abelian group structure satisfying the following conditions: For all morphisms f : X ! X 0, g : Y ! Y 0 in C the maps 0 0 HomC(X ; Y ) ! HomC(X ; Y ); HomC(X ; Y ) ! HomC(X ; Y ) induced by f and g are homomorphisms. The composition maps HomC(Y ; Z) × HomC(X ; Y ) ! HomC(X ; Z)(g; f ) 7! g ◦ f are bilinear. The group law on the Hom sets will always be written additively, so the last condition means that (f + g) ◦ h = (f ◦ h) + (g ◦ h); f ◦ (g + h) = (f ◦ g) + (f ◦ h): Richard Crew Homological Algebra Lecture 1 3 / 21 We denote by 0 the identity of any Hom set, so the bilinearity of composition implies that f ◦ 0 = 0 ◦ f = 0 for any morphism f in C.

Alberti 4, 16132 Geneva, Italy Communicated by by F.W. Lawvere; received 1 December 1994 Abstract Starting with an abelian category d, a natural construction produces a category Pd such that, when d is an abelian category of vector spaces, llp& is the corresponding category of projective spaces. The process of forming the category P& destroys abelianess, but not completely, and the precise measure of what remains of it gives the possibility to reconstruct d out from PzZ, and allows to characterize categories of the form Pd, for an abelian d (projective categories). The characterization is given in terms of the notion of “Puppe exact category” and of an appropriate notion of “weak biproducts”. The proof of the characterization theorem relies on the theory of “additive relations”. 0. Introduction Starting with an abelian category &, a natural construction described in [5] produces a category P& such that, when & is an abelian category of vector spaces, Pd is the corresponding category of projective spaces. This construction is based on the subobject fimctor on d, which in the linear context we call “Grassmannian finctor”. Clearly, categories of the form P&’ for an abelian category ~4 are to be thought of as “categories of projective spaces”, and the natural question arises of their intrinsic characterization.

  • On the Compact-Regular Coreflection of a Stably Compact Locale
    MFPS XV Preliminary Version On the compact-regular coreflection of a stably compact locale Mart´ınH¨otzelEscard´o Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science, The University of Edinburgh, King’s Buildings, JMCB, Mayfield Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JZ, Scotland [email protected] http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/mhe/ Abstract A nucleus on a frame is a finite-meet preserving closure operator. The nuclei on a frame form themselves a frame, with the Scott continuous nuclei as a subframe. We refer to this subframe as the patch frame. We show that the patch construction ex- hibits the category of compact regular locales and continuous maps as a coreflective subcategory of the category of stably compact locales and perfect maps, and the category of Stone locales and continuous maps as a coreflective subcategory of the category of spectral locales and spectral maps. We relate our patch construction to Banaschewski and Br¨ummer’sconstruction of the dual equivalence of the category of stably compact locales and perfect maps with the category of compact regular biframes and biframe homomorphisms. Keywords: Frame of nuclei, Scott continuous nuclei, patch topology, stably locally compact locales, perfect maps, compact regular locales. AMS Classification: 06A15, 06B35, 06D20, 06E15, 54C10, 54D45, 54F05. 1 Introduction It is well-known that the open sets of a topological space can be regarded as the (abstract) “semi-decidable properties” of its points [23]—the terminologies “observable property” [1] and “affirmable property” [28] are also suggestive. Smyth regards the patch topology as a topology of “positive and negative information” [25]. We consider the patch construction in the (localic manifes- tation of the) category of stably compact spaces.

  • Two Topologise on the Lattice of Scott Closed Subsets?
    Two topologise on the lattice of Scott closed subsets? Yu Chen, Hui Kou∗, Zhenchao Lyu Department of Mathematics, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610064, China Abstract For a poset P , let σ(P ) and Γ(P ) respectively denote the lattice of its Scott open subsets and Scott closed subsets ordered by inclusion, and set ΣP = (P; σ(P )). In this paper, we discuss the lower Vietoris topology and the Scott topology on Γ(P ) and give some sufficient conditions to make the two topologies equal. We built an adjunction between σ(P ) and σ(Γ(P )) and proved that ΣP is core-compact iff ΣΓ(P ) is core-compact iff ΣΓ(P ) is sober, locally compact and σ(Γ(P )) = υ(Γ(P )) (the lower Vietoris topology). This answers a question in [17]. Brecht and Kawai [2] asked whether the consonance of a topological space X implies the consonance of its lower powerspace, we give a partial answer to this question at the last part of this paper. Keywords: Scott closed sets; adjunction; distributive continuous lattice; lower powerspace; consonance. 1. Introduction The lower powerspace over a topological space X is the set of closed subsets of X with the lower Vietoris topology. The lower powerspace coincides with the lower powerdomain for continuous dcpos with the Scott topology, where the latter construction is used in modelling non-deterministic computation (see [1, 19]). There naturally arise a question when the lower Vietoris topology and the Scott topology coincide on the lattice of closed subsets of a topological space. For a poset P , we give some sufficient conditions such that the lower Vietoris topology and the Scott topology coincide on Γ(P ).
