Beck's definition of module
by barr＠triples.Math.McGill.CA 04 Sep '93

04 Sep '93

In his 1967 thesis (but actually essentially completed by 1964) Beck defined an A-module, for an object A of a category _A_ to be an abelian group object in the slice _A_/A. This turned out to mean 2-sided A-modules, left A-modules, left A-modules and left A-modules in the categories of associative algebras, commutative (associative) algebras, groups and Lie algebras, resp., that is in all cases the desired coefficients for cohomology. This is all widely known among categorists. Has a full exposition of this ever been published and, if so, where? --Michael +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the past, most people who wanted to talk at the meeting told me about it at the last minute. Increasingly, people have asked in advance for a slot. Unless I have lost some, I have so far 11 requests. There is a practical limit of about 15, since we have to finish early enough on Sunday to allow people to return home. Below are the requests I have so far, names, email addresses, titles or descriptions and abstracts or any other relevant information on the talks. If you have made a request, be sure to check if you are on the list. If you want to request a slot, do not tarry. The order below is in the order I received them, BTW. Michael Giulio Katis <katis_p(a)maths.su.oz.au> working on Cauchy completion Jonathan Smith <jdhsmith(a)pollux.math.iastate.edu> Duality for semilattice representations (with A. Romanowska) We present general machinery for extending a duality between complete, cocomplete concrete categories to a duality between corresponding categories of semilattice representations. This enables known dualities to be regularised. Among the applications, regularised Lindenbaum-Tarski duality shows that the weak extension of Boolean logic (i.e. the semantics of PASCAL-like programming languages) is the logic for semilattice-ordered systems of sets. Another application enlarges Pontryagin duality by regularising it to obtain duality for commutative inverse Clifford monoids. Till Plewe <> on when a locale product of metrizable spaces is spatial Rick Blute <RBLUTE(a)acadvm1.uottawa.ca> Contextual Logic (joint with Robert Seely and Robin Cockett) Andreas Blass <ablass(a)math.lsa.umich.edu> TBA Djordje Cubric <cubric(a)triples.math.mcgill.ca> Interpolation property for bicartesian closed categories Bob Gordon <gordon(a)euclid.math.temple.edu> Enrichment Through Variation (joint with John Power) L Gaunce Lewis Jr <gaunce(a)ichthus.syr.edu> a talk about the equivariant Freudenthal suspension theorem One of those nice situations when just a little touch of category theory cleans up a mess in topology. Richard Wood <rjwood(a)cs.dal.ca> Distributive adjoint strings Stacy Finkelstein <stacy(a)saul.cis.upenn.edu> TBA Robin Cockett <robin(a)cpsc.ucalgary.ca> Copy Categories. These are symmetric monoidal categories in which every object has a natural coassociative cocommutative comultiplication -- but no (natural) counit. Examples include the category of partial maps of a finitely complete category, the Kleisli category of the exception monad of a distributive category, ... I shall describe the category of "formal propositions" of a copy category and why this gives insight into the embedding of a distributive category into an extensive category (its the 2-category theory behind it!)

Re: Uniqueness of strengths
by robin＠cpsc.ucalgary.ca 26 Aug '93

26 Aug '93

In partial answer to Oege de Moor's query concerning the uniqueness of strength in non-well-pointed finite product categories ... there is an, admittedly, special case when the strength is unique: namely when the type F is a strong initial (or final) datatype. The strength can be described as a fold (or unfold) and the uniqueness of this guarantees the uniqueness of the strength (actually this is dependent on the uniqueness of the strengths of the functors over which the datatype is defined ... which inductively one assumes are datatypes). Strong datatypes were described in "Strong Catgeorical Datatypes I" by myself and Dwight Spencer (p 141-169, Category Theory 1991) - also see Dwights thesis. More recently Bart Jacobs has given an alternative treatment which elides much of the fibrational and 2-categorical aspects present in our treatment. There are besides various other circumstances which force strengths to be unique. E.g. if F is cartesian over a functor G with a unique strength (that is there is a strong natural transformation F --> G with all naturality squares pullbacks) then its strength is uniquely determined. These observations were made in "Data III" (with Dwight: an unpublished follow on to the yet unpublished "Data II"!!) and were recently sharpened when Barry Jay visited here (Calgary). BUT does anyone have an example of a functor with a non-unique strength? -robin (Robin Cockett) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Let F be an endofunctor on a category C that has finite products. A strength of F is a natural transformation phi(A,B) : FA x B -> F(A x B) satisfying the obvious coherence conditions with respect to the terminal object and associativity of products. Is anything known about uniqueness of such strengths, if C is not well-pointed? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

****************************************************************************** ** 3C WORKSHOP 93 CATEGORIES, COMPUTING AND COMBINATORICS September 1-3, 1993 School of Computer Science and Engineering University of New South Wales * Second announcement and Programme * This is the second in a series of _informal_ workshops exploring the connections between category theory, logic theoretical computer science and algebraic combinatorics. It will provide a forum at which experts and interested workers from outside the field can exchange ideas. The scope of the workshop has been significantly widened. There will be talks in the following general areas: 1. Categorical logic and categorical models of computation (e.g. imperative programming, distributed computing) 2. The role of category theory in computer system design (e.g. object-oriented design, information systems and database theory, design process automation) 3. Applications of category theory to combinatorics and combinatorial topology 4. Algebraic combinatorics Our emphasis will be on the connections between different strands of research, and on new ways of thinking about old problems. We hope to promote cross-fertilisation between areas. There will be a series of tutorials on each of these areas during the afternoon of Wednesday, September 1; these will assume only a passing acquaintance with category theory and/or combinatorics. They are meant to provide a suitable background for the more specialised talks on Thursday and Friday. We expect a number of international visitors to be participating: these will include Takayuki Hibi (Hokkaido; algebraic combinatorics). Arrangements for other visitors have not yet been finalised, but they _tentatively_ include Nicoletta Sabadini (Milan), Lin Ying Ming(Szechuan), Eric Wagner (IBM Yorktown Heights) and Rod Burstall (Edinburgh). Anyone is welcome to participate. We intend the talks to be accessible to people without an extensive background in category theory and/or combinatorics; one of our major goals is to make the most recent ideas and results in these areas available to a wider community. In particular we would hope to have a number of industrial participants, as we did last year. Research students are also especially welcome. The programme will be finalised in August. Prospective speakers should contact Amitavo Islam as soon as possible. A limited amount of financial assistance is available to assist speakers travelling from interstate. Organisers: Wesley Phoa (UNSW) general organiser Karl Wehrhahn (Sydney) combinatorics Dominic Verity (Macquarie) category theory Amitavo Islam (Sydney) administration Linda Milne (UNSW) UNSW arrangements This workshop is being run in conjunction with the Software Engineering Research Group (UNSW), the Sydney Category Group, the CATACOMB Group (Sydney) and the Theory Group (Macquarie). ****************************************************************** WORKSHOP ON CATEGORIES, COMPUTING AND COMBINATORICS School of Computer Science and Engineering University of New South Wales Meeting Room 1, Samuels Building September 1-3, 1993 TENTATIVE PROGRAMME WEDNESDAY, September 1 -- tutorials 1:00 "Combinatorial Species" (Bill Unger) 2:00 "Ehrhart Polynomials" (Takayuki Hibi) 3:00 [coffee] 3:30 "Natural transformations and coherence" (Nick Verne) 4:30 "Exactness for datatypes" (Barry Jay) THURSDAY, September 2 9:00 "Graphs, Hall Algebras and quantum groups" (Jie Du) 9:55 [coffee] 10:15 "Toric varieties in combinatorics" (Vladimir Popov) 11:15 "Cyclotomic identities in combinatorics" (Adrian Nelson) 12:10 [lunch] 1:30 "Insight into information system structures using category theory" (Kit Dampney and Mike Johnson) 2:30 "Consistency for SML: an operational perspective" (Ed Kazmierczak) 3:25 [coffee] 3:45 "A categorical description and justification for a synthesizer" (Trudy Weibel) 4:45 "The programming language dr" (Desmond Fearnley-Sander) FRIDAY, 3 September 9:00 "Rewrite systems and 2-categories" (Ross Street) 9:55 [coffee] 10:15 "Distributive categories and parallel computation" (Henry Weld, Bob Walters and Nicoletta Sabadini) 11:15 "Categorical term rewriting" (Barry Jay) 12:10 [lunch] 1:30 "There is an anti-intuitionistic co-implication operator in Set^op" (La Monte Yarroll) 2:30 "Survey of Face Vectors and Ehrhart polynomials of convex polytopes" (Takayuki Hibi) 3:25 [coffee] 3:45 "Survey of Fibonacci lattices" (Rowan Kemp) 4:45 "Categories, dependent types and donkey sentences" (Wesley Phoa) ****************************************************************************** ****** This letter was sent to us by Karl Wehrhahn whose e-mail address is: wehrhahn_k(a)maths.su.oz.au It has been forwarded by Helen Gustafson, CMSA Membership Secretary +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
