Product Description
A Handbook of Categorical Algebra, in three volumes, is a detailed account of everything a mathematician needs to know aboutcategory theory. Each volume is self-contained and is accessible to graduate students with a good background in mathematics.Volume 1 is devoted to general concepts.After introducing the terminology and proving the fundamental results concerning limits, adjoint functors and Kan extensions, the categories of fractions are studied in detail; special consideration is paid to the case of localizations. The remainder of the first volume studies various "refinements" of the fundamental concepts of category and functor. ... Read more

Product Description
Algebraic theories, introduced as a concept in the 1960s, have been a fundamental step towards a categorical view of general algebra. Moreover, they have proved very useful in various areas of mathematics and computer science. This carefully developed book gives a systematic introduction to algebra based on algebraic theories that is accessible to both graduate students and researchers. It will facilitate interactions of general algebra, category theory and computer science. A central concept is that of sifted colimits - that is, those commuting with finite products in sets. The authors prove the duality between algebraic categories and algebraic theories and discuss Morita equivalence between algebraic theories. They also pay special attention to one-sorted algebraic theories and the corresponding concrete algebraic categories over sets, and to S-sorted algebraic theories, which are important in program semantics. The final chapter is devoted to finitary localizations of algebraic categories, a recent research area. ... Read more

This book investigates propositional intuitionistic and modallogics from an entirely new point of view, covering quite recent andsometimes yet unpublished results. It mainly deals with the structureof the category of finitely presented Heyting and modal algebras,relating it both with proof theoretic and model theoretic facts:existence of model completions, amalgamability, Beth definability,interpretability of second order quantifiers and uniforminterpolation, definability of dual connectives like difference,projectivity, etc. are among the numerous topics which are covered.Dualities and sheaf representations are the main techniques in thebook, together with Ehrenfeucht-Fraisse games and boundedbisimulations. The categorical instruments employed are rich, but aspecific extended Appendix explains to the reader all concepts used inthe text, starting from the very basic definitions to what is neededfrom topos theory. Audience: The book is addressed to a large spectrum ofprofessional logicians, from such different areas as modal logics,categorical and algebraic logic, model theory and universal algebra. ...

Product Description

Goguen categories extend the relational calculus and its categorical formalization to the fuzzy world. Starting from the fundamental concepts of sets, binary relations and lattices, this book introduces several categorical formulations of an abstract theory of relations such as allegories, Dedekind categories and related structures. It is shown that neither theory is sufficiently rich to describe basic operations on fuzzy relations.

Editorial Review

Product Description
This book presents the general theory of categorical closure operators together with examples and applications to the most common categories, such as topological spaces, fuzzy topological spaces, groups, abelian and topological groups. The main aim of the theory, whose origin dates back to the 1980s, is to develop a categorical characterization of the classical basic concepts in topology via the newly introduced concept of categorical closure operator. This permits many topological ideas to be introduced in a topology-free environment and imported afterwards into a new category, which often yields interesting new insights into their structures.

The first part of the book deals with the general theory, starting with basic definitions and gradually moving to more advanced properties. The second part includes applications to the classical concepts of epimorphisms, separation, compactness and connectedness. Every chapter ends with exercises. A comprehensive list of references for the reader who wants to consult original works, and a good index complete the book.

Categorical Closure Operators is self-contained and can be considered as a graduate level text for topics courses in algebra, topology or category theory. The book appeals mainly to graduate students and researchers in categorical topology, and to those interested in categorical methods applied to the most common concrete categories. The reader is expected to have some basic knowledge of algebra, topology and category theory, however, all recurrent categorical concepts are included in a preliminary chapter. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

From a Geometrical Point of View explores historical and philosophical aspects of category theory, trying therewith to expose its significance in the mathematical landscape. The main thesis is that Klein s Erlangen program in geometry is in fact a particular instance of a general and broad phenomenon revealed by category theory. The volume starts with Eilenberg and Mac Lane s work in the early 1940 s and follows the major developments of the theory from this perspective. Particular attention is paid to the philosophical elements involved in this development. The book ends with a presentation of categorical logic, some of its results and its significance in the foundations of mathematics.

From a Geometrical Point of View aims to provide its readers with a conceptual perspective on category theory and categorical logic, in order to gain insight into their role and nature in contemporary mathematics. It should be of interest to mathematicians, logicians, philosophers of mathematics and science in general, historians of contemporary mathematics, physicists and computer scientists.

Product Description
In this volume, Lambek and Scott reconcile two different viewpoints of the foundations of mathematics, namely mathematical logic and category theory.In Part I, they show that typed lambda-calculi, a formulation of higher-order logic, and cartesian closed categories, are essentially the same.Part II demonstrates that another formulation of higher-order logic, (intuitionistic) type theories, is closely related to topos theory.Part III is devoted to recursive functions.Numerous applications of the close relationship between traditional logic and the algebraic language of category theory are given. The authors have included an introduction to category theory and develop the necessary logic as required, making the book essentially self-contained.Detailed historical references are provided throughout, and each section concludeds with a set of exercises. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars This is definitely Higher!
I was looking for a book for my girlfriend this Christmas and stumbled upon this one.At first I thought it would be too light but was I ever mistaken!!This book is so high that it would make Jack Kerouac dizzy.It begins with a treatment of basic category theory and ccc's and then goes on to present toposes and intuitionistic type theory.The authors take care to annotate their turnstile with the set of free variables (Hah!I bet you thought I had no idea what this book was about!) so that they can deal with empty types in a reasonable way.The treatment of presheaf models is very lucid and the discussion of internal languages and lambda-calculi is excellent.In fact many papers of Koymans are just exercises from this book worked out.The book is slightly out of date, no treatment of linear logic or symmetric monoidal-closed categories.Overall this book is highly recommended for the beginner and expert alike. ...
