Topos Theoretic Quantum Realism
Topos Quantum Theory (TQT) is standardly portrayed as a kind of ‘neo-realist’ reformulation of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we study the extent to which TQT can really be characterised as a realist formulation of the theory, and examine the question of whether the kind of realism that is provided by TQT satisfies the philosophical motivations that are usually associated with the search for...
متن کاملTopos-Theoretic Approaches to Quantum Theory
Starting from a naive investigation into the nature of experiments on a physical system one can argue that states of the system should pair nondegenerately with physical observables. This duality is closely related to that between space and quantity, or, geometry and algebra. In particular, it is grounded in the mathematical framework of both classical and quantum mechanics in the form of a pai...
متن کاملTopos-Theoretic Extension of a Modal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
This paper deals with topos-theoretic truth-value valuations of quantum propositions. Concretely, a mathematical framework of a specific type of modal approach is extended to the topos theory, and further, structures of the obtained truth-value valuations are investigated. What is taken up is the modal approach based on a determinate lattice D(e,R), which is a sublattice of the lattice L of all...
متن کاملu-Singularity and t-Topos Theoretic Entropy
We will give descriptions of u-singularities as we introduce the notion of t-topos theoretic entropies. The unifying methodology for a u-singularity is the universal mapping property of an inverse or direct limit. The qualitative, conceptual, and structural analyses of u-singularities are given in terms of inverse and direct limits of micro decompositions of a presheaf and coverings of an objec...
متن کاملFraïssé's Construction from a Topos-Theoretic Perspective
We present a topos-theoretic interpretation of (a categorical generalization of) Fraïssé's construction in Model Theory, with applications to homogeneous models and countably categorical theories. Mathematics Subject Classi cation (2010). Primary 03G30; Secondary 03C35, 18C10, 18B25.
