Codensity and the ultrafilter monad
Even a functor without an adjoint induces a monad, namely, its codensity monad; this is subject only to the existence of certain limits. We clarify the sense in which codensity monads act as substitutes for monads induced by adjunctions. We also expand on an undeservedly ignored theorem of Kennison and Gildenhuys: that the codensity monad of the inclusion of (finite sets) into (sets) is the ult...
متن کاملProbability Sheaves and the Giry Monad
I introduce the notion of probability sheaf, which is a mathematical structure capturing the relationship between probabilistic concepts (such as random variable) and sample spaces. Various probability-theoretic notions can be (re)formulated in terms of category-theoretic structure on the category of probability sheaves. As a main example, I consider the Giry monad, which, in its original formu...
متن کاملDerandomizing probabilistic semantics through Eilenberg-Moore algebras for the Giry monad
A simple language is defined, a probabilistic semantics and a partial correctness logic is proposed in terms of probabilistic relations. It is shown how a derandomized semantics can be constructed through the Eilenberg-Moore algebras. We investigate the category of EilenbergMoore algebras for the Giry monad associated with stochastic relations over Polish spaces with continuous maps as morphism...
متن کاملCompanions, Codensity and Causality
In the context of abstract coinduction in complete lattices, the notion of compatible function makes it possible to introduce enhancements of the coinduction proof principle. The largest compatible function, called the companion, subsumes most enhancements and has been proved to enjoy many good properties. Here we move to universal coalgebra, where the corresponding notion is that of a final di...
