Conclusions 26r Bibliographies 263 u1 Abstract In this work we investigate two related aspects of a clualisation program for the usual intuitionist logic in categories. The dualisation prograrr h.as a,s its encl the presentation of closed set, or paraconsistent, logic in placr: of the usual open set, or intuitionist, logic found in association with toposes. \Äie address ourselves pa,rticrr- larly to Brouwerian algebras in categories as the duals of the usual Heyting algebras. The first aspect of the program is that of external or ex-ca,tegorial dualisation of logic structures b¡' interpretation of order. This appears in the u'ork as an exarnirration of the notion of a complement classifier. We also use ex-categorial dualisation as a, tool to prompt the development of a categorial proof and rnodel theory adequa,te to the task of modelling theories generated by inconsistency tolerant logics. We rnake an initial attempt to develop dual logic structures by considering quotient object classifiers in place of subobject classifiers. Ex-categorial dualisation of structure was always meant to act as an indication of the existence of categorial entities that di- rectly satisfy dual descriptions, so the bulk of the work is concerned with the second aspect of the dualisation program: the discovery of logic objects within categories that exhibit paraconsistent algebras in their own right. Our investigation focuses on sheaves for their algebraic properties in relation to base space topologies. We define the notion of a sheaf over the closed sets of a topological space. We find essentially two things. First, logic objects in contravariant sheaf categories contain component Brouwerian algebras but are not generally themselves Brouwerian algebras within their categories. A corollary is that subobject lattices in Grothendieck toposes are Brouwerian algebras (but not naturally so). Second, paraconsistent logic objects do exist. We describe one such within a category of covariant sheaves. As a corolì.ary we find that the original ex-categorial dualisation idea represented by the notion of a complement classifier has an instantiation in categories. Our paraconsistent logic object proves to be the object of a genuine complement classifier.

I give consent to this copy of my thesis, when deposited in the University Library, being available for loan and photocopying. 1n 1 6 Introduction When a set of sentences is closed under some consequence relation and und.er uniform substitrrtion of sentences for atomic sentences we have a sentential logic. A paraconsistent logic is one which allows that sets of sentences contain a sentence and its negation and be closed with respect to the logic's consequence relation without containing every other sentence. The logic is said to tolerate inconsistency. It is rarely remarked that closed set topologies form algebras for exactly this sort of logic while it is well known that their duals, the open set topologies, form the algebras for the logics of Intuitionism. In as much as it is exactly the Intuitionism algebras that are known to occur in and around topos theor¡, it is perhaps surprisin¡ç that category theory, with its awareness of duality, should have so little to note on the topic of paraconsistency. It is at least true that inconsistency toleration is exactly the right sort of notion to use in the development of any type of machine that requires input so with the emphasis of category theory tending toward useful applications, particularly those computational, it is appropriate that we investigate the underdeveloped area of closed set logic within categories. The project of this thesis began with the study of closed set topologies as algebras for paraconsistent logics. These were to be developed as tire duals of the Intuitionist logics. The background assumption for the usual formalisation of Intuitionism is that any sentence is interpreted on some open set of a topological space. For a sentence ,S, then, the negated sentence -,9 is the largest open set for which 5 íì -S is empty. The dual position assumes that any sentence is interpreted on some closed set. We can then interpret a set .,9 in relation to a sentence ,S by allowing .S to be the smallest closed set for which S U.S contains everJ/ other closed set. The operators - and r are then formaily dual; among other theorems we will have that ,S lì -,S need not be empty. This is to say that sentences ^9 and -.9 are such that they cannot both be false but that (given a big enough set of designated values) they may both be true. The background assumption that any sentence is valued on a closed set allows us to avoid the suggestion that - is a subcontrary operator rather than negation operator. It follows that the logics that arise as the duals of intuitionist logics are genuinely paraconsistent. With the introduction of Mortensen and Lavers' complement classifiers and complement toposes the idea of dualisirrg logics was linked formally with category and topos theory. The structures that most obviously linhed Heyting algebras (and so Intuitionism) and topos theory were the sheaves definecl over open set topologies. And so arose the idea of investigating the effect on categorial logic of defining sheaves over topologies of closed sets. The overall aim was and remains one of dualising the logics built into the structures of toposes and categories. The importance of paraconsistent versions of categorial logic is in terms of categories as semantic objects for assignment functions that determine inconsistent theories: the logic of the category provides the deduction relation under which the modelled theory is closed; inconsistent theories require (and are generated by) " paraconsistent deduction relation. Now clearly, categories are not the only seman- tic objects that we might use in inconsistency model theory. Equally clearly there has been little or no work on this type of model theory done for categories. Fur- thermore, category theory is an important mathematical discipline; if we regard paraconsistent logic as significant, then investigation of its place in category the- ory is mandated. Some note of it has already been made. In the introduction to Lawvere and Schanuel's Categories in Continuum Pltysics,1986, Lawvere notes in connection with sheaves and categories that a property of complements in algebras of closed sets is that the intersection of a closed set and its compiement will not invariably be the least element of the algebra; in other words. using closed set lat- tices as logical algebras produces logics in which a formula and its negation have, 2 as a rule, truth values with non-zero intersections. Just above I claimed that paraconsistent logic allows for the existence of in- consistent theories. The idea is this: a theory is a set of sentences closed under a deduction relation; if the deduction relation is paraconsistent, then the presence of inconsistent sentences within the theory need not mean that the theory contain all other sentences and be rendered trivial. We may think of paraconsistent deduction as one that limits the (deductive) impact of contradiction. This is clifferent from being huppy to have one's theories loaded with inconsistencies. The paraconsistent logics are, in this light, a way of dealing with problems that arise fïom otherwise good mathematical and philosophical ideas.

What is pleasing is that they are not achieved by ad hoc combinatorics. In particular, the theory of higher operads which underlies Michael Batanin’s deÿnition is based on globular sets. The purpose of this paper is to show that many of the concepts of [2] (also see [17]) arise in the natural development of category theory internal to the petit 1 topos Glob of globular sets.

This theorem is useful as it allows one to prove general results about abelian categories within the context of R-modules. The goal of this report is to flesh out the proof of the embedding theorem. We shall follow closely the material and approach presented in Freyd (1964). This means we will encounter such concepts as projective generators, injective cogenerators, the Yoneda embedding, injective envelopes, Grothendieck categories, subcategories of mono objects and subcategories of absolutely pure objects. This approach is summarised as follows: • the functor category rA, Abs is abelian and has injective envelopes. • in fact, the same holds for the full subcategory LpAq of left-exact functors. • LpAqop has some nice properties: it is cocomplete and has a projective generator. • such a category embeds into R-Mod for some ring R. • in turn, A embeds into such a category. 2 Basics on abelian categories Fix some category C. Let us say that a monic A Ñ B is contained in another monic A1 Ñ B if there is a map A Ñ A1 making the diagram A B commute.

Johnstone Dedicated to Saunders Mac Lane, on the occasion of his 90th birthday Abstract We study the type-theoretical analogue of Bernays–G&odel set-theory and its models in cate- gories. We introduce the notion of small structure on a category, and if small structure satisÿes certain axioms we can think of the underlying category as a category of classes. Our axioms imply the existence of a co-variant powerset monad on the underlying category of classes, which sends a class to the class of its small subclasses. Simple ÿxed points of this and related monads are shown to be models of intuitionistic Zermelo–Fraenkel set-theory (IZF). c 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. MSC: Primary: 03E70; secondary: 03C90; 03F55 0. Introduction The foundations of mathematics accepted by most working mathematicians is Zermelo–Fraenkel set-theory (ZF). The basic notion is that of a set, the abstract model of a collection. There are other closely related systems, like for example that of Bernays and G&odel (BG) based on the distinction between sets and classes: every set is a class, but the only elements of classes are sets. The theory (BG) axiomatizes which classes behave well, that is, are sets. In fact, the philosophy of Bernays–G&odel set-theory is that small classes behave well.

One of their aims was to give an axiomatic account of relationships between collections of mathematical structures. This led to the definition of categories, functors and natural transformations, the concepts that unify all category theory, Categories soon found use in module theory, group theory and many other disciplines. Nowadays, categories are used in most of mathematics, and has even been proposed as an alternative to axiomatic set theory as a foundation of mathematics.[Law66] Due to their general nature, little can be said of an arbitrary category.

    A Categorical Programming Language Tatsuya Hagino arXiv:2010.05167v1 [cs.PL] 11 Oct 2020 Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 1987 Author’s current address: Tatsuya Hagino Faculty of Environment and Information Studies Keio University Endoh 5322, Fujisawa city, Kanagawa Japan 252-0882 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A theory of data types and a programming language based on category theory are presented. Data types play a crucial role in programming. They enable us to write programs easily and elegantly. Various programming languages have been developed, each of which may use different kinds of data types. Therefore, it becomes important to organize data types systematically so that we can understand the relationship between one data type and another and investigate future directions which lead us to discover exciting new data types. There have been several approaches to systematically organize data types: alge- braic specification methods using algebras, domain theory using complete par- tially ordered sets and type theory using the connection between logics and data types. Here, we use category theory. Category theory has proved to be remark- ably good at revealing the nature of mathematical objects, and we use it to understand the true nature of data types in programming. We organize data types under a new categorical notion of F,G-dialgebras which is an extension of the notion of adjunctions as well as that of T -algebras. T - algebras are also used in domain theory, but while domain theory needs some primitive data types, like products, to start with, we do not need any.

  • Diagram Chasing in Abelian Categories
    Diagram Chasing in Abelian Categories Toni Annala Contents 1 Overview 2 2 Abelian Categories 3 2.1 Denition and basic properties . .3 2.2 Subobjects and quotient objects . .6 2.3 The image and inverse image functors . 11 2.4 Exact sequences and diagram chasing . 16 1 Chapter 1 Overview This is a short note, intended only for personal use, where I x diagram chasing in general abelian categories. I didn't want to take the Freyd-Mitchell embedding theorem for granted, and I didn't like the style of the Freyd's book on the topic. Therefore I had to do something else. As this was intended only for personal use, and as I decided to include this to the application quite late, I haven't touched anything in chapter 2. Some vague references to Freyd's book are made in the passing, they mean the book Abelian Categories by Peter Freyd. How diagram chasing is xed then? The main idea is to chase subobjects instead of elements. The sections 2.1 and 2.2 contain many standard statements about abelian categories, proved perhaps in a nonstandard way. In section 2.3 we dene the image and inverse image functors, which let us transfer subobjects via a morphism of objects. The most important theorem in this section is probably 2.3.11, which states that for a subobject U of X, and a morphism f : X ! Y , we have ff −1U = U \ imf. Some other results are useful as well, for example 2.3.2, which says that the image functor associated to a monic morphism is injective.

  • A CLASSICAL REALIZABILITY MODEL ARISING from a STABLE MODEL of UNTYPED LAMBDA CALCULUS Dedicated to Pierre-Louis Curien at the O
    Logical Methods in Computer Science Vol. 13(4:24)2017, pp. 1–17 Submitted Jul. 6, 2014 www.lmcs-online.org Published Dec. 7, 2017 A CLASSICAL REALIZABILITY MODEL ARISING FROM A STABLE MODEL OF UNTYPED LAMBDA CALCULUS THOMAS STREICHER Fachbereich 4 Mathematik TU Darmstadt, Schloßgartenstr. 7, D-64289, Germany e-mail address: [email protected] Abstract. In [SR98] it has been shown that λ-calculus with control can be interpreted in any domain D which is isomorphic to the domain of functions from D! to the 2-element (Sierpi´nski)lattice Σ. By a theorem of A. Pitts there exists a unique subset P of D such that f 2 P iff f(d~) = ? for all d~ 2 P !. The domain D gives rise to a realizability structure in the sense of [Kri11] where the set of proof-like terms is given by P . When working in Scott domains the ensuing realizability model coincides with the ground model Set but when taking D within coherence spaces we obtain a classical realizability model of set theory different from any forcing model. We will show that this model validates countable and dependent choice since an appropriate form of bar recursion is available in stable domains. Dedicated to Pierre-Louis Curien at the occasion of his 60th Birthday Introduction In the first decade of this millenium J.-L. Krivine has developed his theory of classical realizability, see e.g. [Kri09, Kri11], for higher order logic and set theory. Whereas intu- itionistic realizability is based on the notion of a partial combinatory algebra (pca) classical realizability is based on a notion of realizability algebra as defined in [Kri11].
