Coherence phenomena appear in two different situations. In the context of category theory the term 'coherence constraints' refers to a set of diagrams whose commutativity implies the commutativity of a larger class of diagrams. In the context of algebra coherence constrains are a minimal set of generators for the second syzygy, that is, a set of equations which generate the full set of identities among the defining relations of an algebraic theory. A typical example of the first type is Mac Lane's coherence theorem for monoidal categories [9, Theorem 3.1], an example of the second type is the result of [2] saying that pentagon identity for the 'associator' $ of a quasi-Hopf algebra implies the validity of a set of identities with higher instances of $.

  • What Makes a Theory of Infinitesimals Useful? a View by Klein and Fraenkel
    WHAT MAKES A THEORY OF INFINITESIMALS USEFUL? A VIEW BY KLEIN AND FRAENKEL VLADIMIR KANOVEI, KARIN U. KATZ, MIKHAIL G. KATZ, AND THOMAS MORMANN Abstract. Felix Klein and Abraham Fraenkel each formulated a criterion for a theory of infinitesimals to be successful, in terms of the feasibility of implementation of the Mean Value Theorem. We explore the evolution of the idea over the past century, and the role of Abraham Robinson’s framework therein. 1. Introduction Historians often take for granted a historical continuity between the calculus and analysis as practiced by the 17–19th century authors, on the one hand, and the arithmetic foundation for classical analysis as developed starting with the work of Cantor, Dedekind, and Weierstrass around 1870, on the other. We extend this continuity view by exploiting the Mean Value Theo- rem (MVT) as a case study to argue that Abraham Robinson’s frame- work for analysis with infinitesimals constituted a continuous extension of the procedures of the historical infinitesimal calculus. Moreover, Robinson’s framework provided specific answers to traditional preoc- cupations, as expressed by Klein and Fraenkel, as to the applicability of rigorous infinitesimals in calculus and analysis. This paper is meant as a modest contribution to the prehistory of Robinson’s framework for infinitesimal analysis. To comment briefly arXiv:1802.01972v1 [math.HO] 1 Feb 2018 on a broader picture, in a separate article by Bair et al. [1] we ad- dress the concerns of those scholars who feel that insofar as Robinson’s framework relies on the resources of a logical framework that bears little resemblance to the frameworks that gave rise to the early theo- ries of infinitesimals, Robinson’s framework has little bearing on the latter.

    ALMOST EQUAL: THE METHOD OF ADEQUALITY FROM DIOPHANTUS TO FERMAT AND BEYOND MIKHAIL G. KATZ, DAVID M. SCHAPS, AND STEVEN SHNIDER Abstract. We analyze some of the main approaches in the liter- ature to the method of ‘adequality’ with which Fermat approached the problems of the calculus, as well as its source in the παρισoτης´ of Diophantus, and propose a novel reading thereof. Adequality is a crucial step in Fermat’s method of finding max- ima, minima, tangents, and solving other problems that a mod- ern mathematician would solve using infinitesimal calculus. The method is presented in a series of short articles in Fermat’s col- lected works [66, p. 133-172]. We show that at least some of the manifestations of adequality amount to variational techniques ex- ploiting a small, or infinitesimal, variation e. Fermat’s treatment of geometric and physical applications sug- gests that an aspect of approximation is inherent in adequality, as well as an aspect of smallness on the part of e. We question the rel- evance to understanding Fermat of 19th century dictionary defini- tions of παρισoτης´ and adaequare, cited by Breger, and take issue with his interpretation of adequality, including his novel reading of Diophantus, and his hypothesis concerning alleged tampering with Fermat’s texts by Carcavy. We argue that Fermat relied on Bachet’s reading of Diophantus. Diophantus coined the term παρισoτης´ for mathematical pur- poses and used it to refer to the way in which 1321/711 is ap- proximately equal to 11/6. Bachet performed a semantic calque in passing from pariso¯o to adaequo.

  • Operads Revisited
    Operads revisited Ezra Getzler Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, USA [email protected] To Yuri Manin, many happy returns. This paper presents an approach to operads related to recent work in topolog- ical field theory (Costello [4]). The idea is to represent operads as symmetric monoidal functors on a symmetric monoidal category T; we recall how this works for cyclic and modular operads and dioperads in Section 1. This point of view permits the construction of all sorts of variants on the notion of an operad. As our main example, we present a simplicial variant of modular operads, related to Segal’s definition of quantum field theory, as modified for topological field theory (Getzler [10]). (This definition is only correct in a cocomplete symmetric monoidal category whose tensor product preserves colimits, but this covers most cases of interest.) An operad P in the category Set of sets may be presented as a symmetric monoidal category tP, called the theory associated to P (Boardman and Vogt [2]). The category tP has the natural numbers as its objects; tensor product is given by addition. The morphisms of tP are built using the operad P: n G tP(m, n) = l P(|f −1(i)|). f:{1,...,m}→{1,...,n} i=1 The category of P-algebras is equivalent to the category of symmetric monoidal functors from tP to Set; this reduces the study of algebras over operads to the study of symmetric monoidal functors. The category of contravariant functors from the opposite category T◦ of a small category T to the category Set of sets Tˆ = [T◦, Set] is called the category of presheaves of T.

  • E-Infinity Structure in Hyperoctahedral Homology
    E-INFINITY STRUCTURE IN HYPEROCTAHEDRAL HOMOLOGY DANIEL GRAVES Abstract. Hyperoctahedral homology for involutive algebras is the homology theory associ- ated to the hyperoctahedral crossed simplicial group. It is related to equivariant stable ho- motopy theory via the homology of equivariant infinite loop spaces. In this paper we show that there is an E-infinity algebra structure on the simplicial module that computes hyperoc- tahedral homology. We deduce that hyperoctahedral homology admits Dyer-Lashof homology operations. Furthermore, there is a Pontryagin product which gives hyperoctahedral homology the structure of an associative, graded-commutative algebra. Introduction Hyperoctahedral homology for involutive algebras is the homology theory associated to the hy- peroctahedral crossed simplicial group [FL91, Section 3]. It was introduced by Fiedorowicz [Fie, Section 2] and developed by the author [Gra]. It has applications in equivariant stable homo- topy theory. In particular, the author showed [Gra, Theorem 8.8] that for a group of odd order ∼ G and a commutative ground ring k, there is an isomorphism HO⋆(k[G]) = H⋆ ΦΩC2 QC2 BG where BG is the classifying space of the group, QC is the C -equivariant free infinite loop space 2 2 functor, ΩC2 is the C2-equivariant based loops functor and Φ is the C2-fixed point functor. In this paper we show that the simplicial k-module used to compute the hyperoctahedral homology of an involutive algebra has the structure of an E∞-algebra in the category of simplicial k-modules. The notion of E∞-algebra first appeared in work of Boardman and Vogt [BV68] and was developed by May [May72] amongst others.

  • Metric Completions, the Heine-Borel Property, and Approachability
    METRIC COMPLETIONS, THE HEINE–BOREL PROPERTY, AND APPROACHABILITY VLADIMIR KANOVEI, MIKHAIL G. KATZ, AND TAHL NOWIK Abstract. We show that the metric universal cover of a plane with a puncture yields an example of a nonstandard hull prop- erly containing the metric completion of a metric space. As men- tioned by do Carmo, a nonextendible Riemannian manifold can be noncomplete, but in the broader category of metric spaces it becomes extendible. We give a short proof of a characterisation of the Heine–Borel property of the metric completion of a metric space M in terms of the absence of inapproachable finite points in ∗M. Keywords: galaxy; halo; metric completion; nonstandard hull; universal cover; Heine–Borel property 1. Introduction A p-adic power series example of the phenomenon of inapproachabil- ity in a nonstandard hull of a metric space M appears in Goldblatt [1, p. 252]. Recall that a point x ∈ ∗M is approachable if for each ε ∈ R+ ∗ there is some (standard) xε ∈ M such that d(x, xε) < ε (op. cit., p. 236). Otherwise x is called inapproachable. A nonstandard hull of a metric space M can in general contain points that need to be discarded (namely, the inapproachable ones) in order to form the metric completion of M. We provide a more geometric example of such a phenomenon stemming from differential geometry. arXiv:2002.07536v2 [math.DG] 4 Mar 2020 The example is the metric universal cover of a plane with one puncture; see Definition 3.1. Let ∗R be a hyperreal field extending R. Denote by hR ⊆ ∗R the subring consisting of finite hyperreals.

  • Deformation Theory of Representations of Prop(Erad)S
    DEFORMATION THEORY OF REPRESENTATIONS OF PROP(ERAD)S SERGEI MERKULOV, BRUNO VALLETTE Abstract. For any prop(erad) P admitting a minimal model we construct a L1-algebra con- trolling deformations of strongly homotopy P-(al)gebras and illustrate it with some particular examples. We also construct higher operations on the deformation complex of algebraic struc- tures generalizing the braces operations on Hochschild cochain complex involved in the proof of Deligne's conjecture for instance. Introduction The theory of props and properads provides us with a universal language to describe many al- gebraic, topological and differential geometric structures. Our main purpose in this paper is to introduce deformation theory of these structures via the associated prop(erad)s. One of our central results associates canonically to a pair, (F(V ); @) and (P; d), consisting of a differential graded (dg, for short) quasi-free prop(erad) (F(V ); @) on a Z-graded S-bimodule V and an arbitrary dg −1 prop(erad) (P; d), a structure of L1-algebra on the (shifted) graded vector space, s HomZ(V; P ), of morphisms of Z-graded S-bimodules; the Maurer-Cartan elements of this L1-algebra are in one- to-one correspondence with the set of all dg morphisms, f(F(V ); @) ! (P; d)g, of prop(erad)s. This canonical L1-algebra is used then to define, for any particular morphism γ : (F(V ); @) ! (P; d), another twisted L1-algebra which controls deformation theory of the morphism γ. In the spe- cial case when (P; d) is the endomorphism prop(erad), (EndX ; dX ), of some dg vector space X, our theory gives L1-algebras which control deformation theory of many classical algebraic and geometric structures on X, for example, associative algebra structure, Lie algebra structure, com- mutative algebra structure, Lie bialgebra structure, associative bialgebra structure, formal Poisson structure, Nijenhuis structure etc.
