We give a general method of forcing over categories as a category-theoretic universal construction which subsumes, on one hand, all known instances of forcing in set theory, Boolean and Heyting valued models and sheaf interpretations for both classical and intuitionistic formal systems; and, on the other hand, constructions of classifying topoi in topos theory.
Algebra, Topology, and Category Theory: A Collection of Papers in Honor of Samuel Eilenberg is a collection of papers dealing with algebra, topology, and category theory in honor of Samuel Eilenberg. Topics covered range from large modules over artin algebras to two-dimensional Poincaré duality groups, along with the homology of certain H-spaces as group ring objects. Variable quantities and variable structures in topoi are also discussed. Comprised of 16 chapters, this book begins by looking at the relationship between the representation theories of finitely generated and large (not finitely generated) modules over an artin algebra. The reader is then introduced to reduced bar constructions on deRham complexes; some properties of two-dimensional Poincaré duality groups; and properties invariant within equivalence types of categories. Subsequent chapters explore the work of Samuel Eilenberg in topology; local complexity of finite semigroups; global dimension of ore extensions; and the spectrum of a ringed topos. This monograph will be a useful resource for students and practitioners of algebra and mathematics.
The first of its kind, this book presents a widely accessible exposition of topos theory, aimed at the philosopher-logician as well as the mathematician. It is suitable for individual study or use in class at the graduate level (it includes 500 exercises). It begins with a fully motivated introduction to category theory itself, moving always from the particular example to the abstract concept. It then introduces the notion of elementary topos, with a wide range of examples and goes on to develop its theory in depth, and to elicit in detail its relationship to Kripke's intuitionistic semantics, models of classical set theory and the conceptual framework of sheaf theory (``localization'' of truth). Of particular interest is a Dedekind-cuts style construction of number systems in topoi, leading to a model of the intuitionistic continuum in which a ``Dedekind-real'' becomes represented as a ``continuously-variable classical real number''.The second edition contains a new chapter, entitled Logical Geometry, which introduces the reader to the theory of geometric morphisms of Grothendieck topoi, and its model-theoretic rendering by Makkai and Reyes. The aim of this chapter is to explain why Deligne's theorem about the existence of points of coherent topoi is equivalent to the classical Completeness theorem for ``geometric'' first-order formulae.
This Festschrift is published in honor of Yuri Gurevich’s 80th birthday. An associated conference, YuriFest 2020, was planned for May 18–20 in Fontainebleau, France, in combination with the 39th Journées sur les Arithmétiques Faibles also celebrating Yuri’s 80th birthday. Because of the coronavirus situation, the conference had to be postponed, but this Festschrift is being published as originally planned. It addresses a very wide variety of topics, but by no means all of the fields of logic and computation in which Yuri has made important progress.
This is the first volume on category theory for a broad philosophical readership. It is designed to show the interest and significance of category theory for a range of philosophical interests: mathematics, proof theory, computation, cognition, scientific modelling, physics, ontology, the structure of the world. Each chapter is written by either a category-theorist or a philosopher working in one of the represented areas, in an accessible waythat builds on the concepts that are already familiar to philosophers working in these areas.
We relate Freyd's topos-theoretic models for the independence of the axiom of choice to the more familiar symmetric Boolean-valued models.
As the prototype of the “civilian power”, Germany has always stressed the importance and necessity of diplomatic means to resolve crises. The participation of the Bundeswehr in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan was a significant exercise of the new security policy after German reunification. Given that linguistic actors construct knowledge through their personal actions, security policy is necessarily reflected in the relevant discourses of political elites. This publication attempts to combine Linguistic Discourse Analysis and Role Theory to construct a role-theoretic discourse analysis approach for German security policy study: The parliamentary debate is a prerequisite for the legitimizing mandate for the use of the German military abroad; the topos/topoi and (pro-and contra-) arguments construct the parliamentary debate discourse and influence decisions on military action abroad; the use of the topos/topoi and arguments is constructed by the role perceptions of the German political elite, and the final decisions are the result of behavioral preferences influenced by role perceptions.
The first edition of the Handbook of Philosophical Logic (four volumes) was published in the period 1983-1989 and has proven to be an invaluable reference work to both students and researchers in formal philosophy, language and logic. The second edition of the Handbook is intended to comprise some 18 volumes and will provide a very up-to-date authoritative, in-depth coverage of all major topics in philosophical logic and its applications in many cutting-edge fields relating to computer science, language, argumentation, etc. The volumes will no longer be as topic-oriented as with the first edition because of the way the subject has evolved over the last 15 years or so. However the volumes will follow some natural groupings of chapters. Audience: Students and researchers whose work or interests involve philosophical logic and its applications
The bulk of this volume consists of invited addresses presented at the Colloquium. These contributions report on recent or ongoing research in some of the mainstream areas of mathematical logic: model theory, both pure and in its applications (to group theory and real algebraic geometry); and proof theory, applied to set theory and diophantine equations.The major novel aspect of the book is the important place accorded to the connections of mathematical logic with the neighboring disciplines: mathematical foundations of computer science, and philosophy of mathematics.
