Algebraic operations on schedules can then be defined as constructions in the category of schedules.
Its algebraic structure is essentially that of linear logic, with its morphisms being consequence-preserving renamings of propositions, and with its operations forming the core of a natural concurrent programming language.
We develop a primitive algebraic model of this duality of time and information for rigid local computation, or straightline code, in the absence of choice and concurrency, where time and information are linearly ordered.

 Dual space : Duality (linear algebra)
In the language of category theory, taking the dual of vector spaces and the transpose of linear maps is therefore a contravariant functor from the category of vector spaces over F to itself.
f produces an injective homomorphism between the space of linear operators from V to W and the space of linear operators from W* to V*; this homomorphism is an isomorphism iff W is finite-dimensional.
If V consists of the space of geometrical vectors (arrows) in the plane, then the elements of the dual V* can be intuitively represented as collections of parallel lines.

 Articles - Kernel (algebra)
The notion of kernel in category theory is a generalisation of the kernels of abelian algebras; see Kernel (category theory).
This is because monoids are not Mal'cev algebras.
For the converse direction, we need the notion of quotient in the Mal'cev algebra (which is division on either side for groups and subtraction for vector spaces, modules, and rings).

However, to some of us monoidal closed categories are rather familiar things, and in fact anyone who knows about vector spaces, linear maps, and the vector spaces Hom(V,W) and V tensor W knows a really good example of a monoidal closed category.
Thus monoidal closed categories can be viewed as an abstraction of linear algebra, and indeed this is how "linear logic" got its name.
It seems that I should read the following papers, too, before I really understand the connection between linear logic and category theory:

 Algebraic K-theory, groups and categories
These include a solution of the long standing conjecture that the cohomology algebra of a finite group scheme is finitely generated and a further development of methods here to achieve a complete determination of all Ext-groups between classical functors in the category of strict polynomial functors of finite degree.
The main results in category theory continue the programme of Categorical Galois Theory, which is shown to have a wide range of applications, involving Descent Theory, internal groupoids and commutator theory, and to link with the homotopical algebra methods developed by the Bangor group.
And there are several important levels of generality, where it is desirable to have certain simplified descriptions of internal groupoids (for example it is well known that in the category of groups they are precisely crossed modules).

We prove full completeness for a fragment of the linear logic of the self-dual monoidal category of Chu spaces over 2, namely that the proofs between semisimple (conjunctive normal form) formulas of multiplicative linear logic without constants having two occurrences of each variable are in bijection with the dinatural transformations between the corresponding functors.

 PREFACE
The major areas represented in Magma V2.12 include group theory, ring theory, commutative algebra, arithmetic fields and their completions, module theory and lattice theory, finite dimensional algebras, Lie theory, representation theory, the elements of homological algebra, general schemes and curve schemes, modular forms and modular curves, finite incidence structures, linear codes and much else.
For example, within the variety of algebras, the family of finitely presented algebras constitutes an abstract category, while the family of matrix algebras constitutes a concrete category.
However, categories based on a concrete representation are as least as important as the abstract category in most varieties.

A C*-category can be defined to be a closed subcategory of a category consisting of a collection of Hilbert spaces and bounded linear operators between them.
A C*-algebra is a closed algebra of bounded linear operators from a given Hilbert space to itself.
In a recent article, John Roe proved by a direct computation that the Baum-Connes assembly map can be expressed as a boundary map associated to a certain short exact sequence of C*-algebras.

 HJM, Vol. 29, No. 1, 2003
In the present paper, we further show that the hypercyclic operators on a separable infinite dimensional Frechet space form a dense subset of the algebra of continuous linear operators in the strong operator topology.
In this paper, considering a lattice-triangular category C, we study the basic properties of the "category of fractions" I(C) associated to C (the universal property and the representation theorem for I(C) are also presented).
This question was answered recently in the positive, and the result was generalized to the Frechet space case, in papers of Ansari, Bernal-Gonzalez, and Bonet and Peris.

 The Future of Mathematical Text: Mayans: JoDI
Expositions of basic calculus, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations are common, and there is no need to add to this work here.
The text is on linear algebra, a subject with connections to many parts of mathematics, to numerical work, and to a wide range of applications.
For example, any book covering derivatives of a real variable will have L'Hôpital's rule, but most will not cover Baire's theorem on the continuous points of a derivative, because Baire category is a little more subtle.

 Free Module, Basis
These module homomorphisms are called linear transformations in the world of linear algebra, and they can be represented by matrices, where matrix multiplication implements function composition.
For now, we'll call this the definition of a "free module", but if you study category theory, you'll find that a free object has a more general definition, and when that definition is applied to the category of unitary modules, the "direct sum" definition falls out.
The module automorphisms correspond to the nonsingular matrices.

These latter objects arise in problems within algebraic K-theory, an area of algebra linked to the study of decomposition and normal form theorems in linear algebra.
The enrichment of the category of chain complexes is examined in detail and questions of the existence of analogues of classical constructions (categories over B, under A, etc.) are explored.
We extend Shrimpton's investigations on the morphism-digraphs of reflexive digraphs to the undirected case by using an equivalence between a category of reflexive, undirected graphs and the category of reflexive, directed graphs with reversal.

 Entropic Hopf algebras and models of non-commutative logic
We show that the category of modules over an entropic Hopf algebra is an entropic category (possibly after application of the Chu construction).
It has recently been demonstrated that Hopf algebras provide an excellent framework for modeling a number of variants of multiplicative linear logic, such as commutative, braided and cyclic.
Our first models are constructed via the notion of a partial bimonoid acting on a cocomplete category.

 Category theory
Algebra of continuous functions: a contravariant functor from the category of topological spaces (with continuous maps as morphisms) to the category of real associative algebras is given by assigning to every topological space X the algebra C(X) of all real-valued continuous functions on that space.
One may check that the map from the category of topological spaces with a distinguished point to the category of groups is functorial: a topological (homo/iso)morphism will naturally correspond to a group (homo/iso)morphism.
These maps are "natural" in the following sense: the double dual operation is a functor, and the maps form a natural transformation from the identity functor to the double dual functor.

 Glossary
In mathematics, usually means basis in the sense of linear algebra; a minimal set of vectors that spans a vector space.
The study of abstracted collections of mathematical objects, such as the category of sets or the category of vector spaces, together with abstracted operations sending one object to another, such as the collection of functions from one set to another or linear transformations from one vector space to another.
Given a vector space of functions of a parameter or functions on a manifold, an operator may have a kernel or matrix whose rows and columns are indexed by the parameter or by points on the manifold.
