Dagger compact closed categories were recently introduced by Abramsky and Coecke, under the name “strongly compact closed categories”, as an axiomatic framework for quantum mechanics. We present a graphical language for dagger compact closed categories, and sketch a proof of its completeness for equational reasoning. We give a general construction, the CPM construction, which associates to each...

The notion of commutative monad was denned by the author in [4]. The content of the present paper may briefly be stated: The category of algebras for a commutative monad can in a canonical way be made into a closed category, the two adjoint functors connecting the category of algebras with the base category are in a canonical way closed functors, and the frontand end-adjunctions are closed tran...

We pose the problem of whether every FS-domain is a retract of abifinite domain purely in terms of quasi-uniform spaces. 6.1 The problem and its historyEver since domains were introduced by Dana Scott [Sco70] and Yuri Er-shov [Ers75], a question in the centre of interest was to find suitable cartesianclosed categories of domains and the quest for cartesian closed categories ...

We study a special sort of 2-dimensional extended Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs). These are defined on open-closed cobordisms by which we mean smooth compact oriented 2-manifolds with corners that have a particular global structure in order to model the smooth topology of open and closed string worldsheets. We show that the category of open-closed TQFTs is equivalent to the category...

The essential interaction between classical and intuitionistic features in the system of linear logic is best described in the language of category theory. Given a symmetric monoidal closed category with products, the category can be given the structure of a *-autonomous category by a special case of the Chu construction. The main result of the paper is to show that the intuitionistic translati...

The aim of the present paper is to define and study (IC)$LM$-fuzzytopological spaces, a generalization of (weakly) induced $LM$-fuzzytopological spaces. We discuss the basic properties of(IC)$LM$-fuzzy topological spaces, and introduce the notions ofinterior (IC)-fication and exterior (IC)-fication of $LM$-fuzzytopologies and prove that {bf ICLM-FTop} (the category of(IC)$LM$-fuzzy topological ...

The structure theorem of Joyal, Street and Verity says that every traced monoidal category C arises as a monoidal full subcategory of the tortile monoidal category IntC. In this paper we focus on a simple observation that a traced monoidal category C is closed if and only if the canonical inclusion from C into IntC has a right adjoint. Thus, every traced monoidal closed category arises as a mon...
