Coherence for adjunctions in a 3-category via string diagrams

چکیده
We define a coherent adjunction in strict $3$-category and we use string diagrams to show that any can be extended an essentially unique way.

Category Theory Using String Diagrams
In [Fokkinga, 1992a], [Fokkinga, 1992b] and [Fokkinga and Meertens, 1994] a calculational approach to category theory is developed. The scheme has many merits, but sacrifices useful type information in the move to an equational style of reasoning. By contrast, traditional proofs by diagram pasting retain the vital type information, but poorly express the reasoning and development of categorical...
متن کاملCategory Theory with Adjunctions and Limits
This article attempts to develop a usable framework for doing category theory in Isabelle/HOL. Our point of view, which to some extent differs from that of the previous AFP articles on the subject, is to try to explore how category theory can be done efficaciously within HOL, rather than trying to match exactly the way things are done using a traditional approach. To this end, we define the not...
متن کاملStone-cech Compactifications via Adjunctions
The Stone-Cech compactification of a space X is described by adjoining to X continuous images of the Stone-tech growths of a complementary pair of subspaces of X. The compactification of an example of Potoczny from [P] is described in detail. The Stone-Cech compactification of a completely regular space X is a compact Hausdorff space ßX in which X is dense and C*-embedded, i.e. every bounded re...
متن کاملRelating Operator Spaces via Adjunctions
This chapter uses categorical techniques to describe relations between various sets of operators on a Hilbert space, such as self-adjoint, positive, density, effect and projection operators. These relations, including various Hilbert-Schmidt isomorphisms of the form tr(A−), are expressed in terms of dual adjunctions, and maps between them. Of particular interest is the connection with quantum s...
متن کاملA First-order Logic for String Diagrams
Equational reasoning with string diagrams provides an intuitive means of proving equations between morphisms in a symmetric monoidal category. This can be extended to proofs of infinite families of equations using a simple graphical syntax called !-box notation. While this does greatly increase the proving power of string diagrams, previous attempts to go beyond equational reasoning have been l...
