Dual space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. Given any vector space V over some field F, we define the dual space V* to be the set of all linear functionals on F, i.e., scalar -valued linear transformations on V (in this context, a "scalar" is a member of the base-field F). This is the content of the Riesz representation theorem, and gives rise to the bra-ket notation used by physicists in the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics. www.encyclopedia-online.info /Dual_space   (104 words)

Re: Category Theory and Physics The String Coffee Table On the contrary, the concept of a category is there to capture the essence of the concept of gauge/duality transformation, which is something very close to every physicist’s heart. I pointed out that first of all I believe that categories are not at all as detached to the physicists way of thinking as they may sometimes appear. Regardless of whether a worldsheet theory for nonabelian strings makes sense as a means to compute S-matrix elements for these strings (in general it will not since these strings are not weakly coupled) the worlvolume action of these membranes must at least be well defined. golem.ph.utexas.edu /string/archives/000479.html   (104 words)

Centre of Australian Category Theory, Macquarie University :: Projects He furthermore constructed an action of a categorical analogue of the little n-cubes operad on the category of extensions in a monoidal abelian category; this is an interesting weak form of the generalised Deligne hypothesis. Higher-dimensional categories are complex structures that are currently gaining a lot of attention from mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists because of developing applications in those fields. Summary: Category theory is a branch of mathematics concerned with transformation and composition. www.ics.mq.edu.au /CoACT/projects   (1438 words)

Environmental, Health & Safety: 12/01/2004 - 12/31/2004 Particularly harmful chemicals on the TRI list under the category of “Persistent, Bio-accumulative Toxic pollutants” (PBT’s) are highly toxic, long-lasting substances that can build up in the food chain to levels that are harmful to human health and the environment. The difference between theoretical physics and mathematical physics is that mathematical physics finds the mathematical rigor required in mathematics to be more important than the contact with experiments and observations. Theoretical physics is just one important part of physics; the other part is experimental physics. ehsmanager.blogspot.com /2004_12_01_ehsmanager_archive.html   (7691 words)

Category theory for physicists This idea is a bit more messy than the idea of treating a group as a one-object category, since the group elements are doing double duty, acting both as objects and morphisms. Yes, it *is* just the commutative diagram for a natural transformation, written out as an equation to make you feel you're not doing category theory! The category Vect can be confusing, because in this case the initial object is also terminal, and the categorical product is also the coproduct - and people usually call it "direct sum". www.lns.cornell.edu /spr/2000-10/msg0028587.html   (71 words)

Re: Category theory for physicists Prev by thread: Re: Category theory for physicists They *are* organizing it - but the first step towards organizing it is noticing how scrambled it is. :-) Here's the point: the universal property that defines the categorical product only refers to objects and morphisms in the category in question.

IMA 2004 Summer Program: n-Categories: Foundations and Applications, June 7-18, 2004 We hope to develop a clear language of higher category theory that, like the original language of categories, functors, and natural transformations, can be accepted, understood, and worked with by mathematicians in general, whether algebraic geometers, logicians, algebraic topologists, mathematical physicists, or theoretical computer scientists. In contrast to the introduction of categories, functors, and natural transformations, which could successfully be carried out by two authors in one paper, the development of higher category theory is technically very difficult mathematics. Higher category theory concerns higher level notions of naturality, which can be expressed as maps between natural transformations, maps between such maps. www.ima.umn.edu /categories   (612 words)

P.P. Cook's Tangent Space: Generalised Geometry, Oscillating Integrals and Gauged WZ Terms Little did I suspect, as I should have done, that this wouldn't be a workshop and there was no wool involved :) Indeed it was a gentle (by the symposium standards) category theory talk, giving the physicists in the audience a gentle appreciation of the "natural" approach of the category theorists. The surreal debate trundles on, and I live in fear of what will happen when category theorists discover the jumper. A scarf turns out to be a quiver diagram composed out of many copies of three nodes (A_3) arranged in a triangle and with arrows having an anticlockwise orientation on the basis diagram. ppcook.blogspot.com /2005/07/generalised-geometry-oscillating.html   (862 words)

Categorified Gauge Theory Higher gauge theory goes further and uses a 2-category where the objects are points, the morphisms are paths and the 2-morphisms are "paths of paths" - since a path of paths is a mathematical way of describing the surface traced out by the motion of a string. Ordinary gauge theory already uses categories to describe parallel transport, since there is a a category where the objects are points of spacetime and the morphisms are paths. This has been taken up by the physicists Aschieri and Jurco, who have applied it to string theory. math.ucr.edu /home/baez/breen   (862 words)

week4 This serious and rather dry paper is the basis for a lot of physicists are just beginning to try to do: burst from the confines of 3 dimensions, where knots and topological quantum field theories like Chern-Simons theory live, to 3+1 dimensions, where we live. Rather than write down the axioms for a 2-category, which are in Kapranov and Voevodsky, let me note the key new thing about 2-morphisms: there are two ways to compose them, "horizontally" and "vertically". Take a topological space X and let the objects of our category be points of X. Given x and y in X, let Hom(x,y) be the set of all unparametrized paths from x to y. math.ucr.edu /home/baez/week4.html   (862 words)

Coformal theories, curved phase spaces, relativistic wavelets and the geometry of complex domains The same mathematical objects (Cartan classical domains) have been studied -- often without noticing it explicitly -- by theoretical physicists interested in a variety of different topics: particle physics, quantum field theory, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, geometric quantization, accelerated observers, general relativity and even harmony and sound analysis. Often, articles belonging to a given category do not refer to papers dealing with the same subject but written from a different point of view. Complex manifolds and in particular classical domains have been studied for many years by mathematicians and theoretical physicists. cassiopaea.crystunix.com /quantum_future/conformal_theories.htm   (297 words)

Amazon.com: Books: Mathematical Physics (Chicago Lectures in Physics) Robert Geroch's "Mathematical Physics" is a stunningly beautiful exposition of basic mathematics needed for science using the minimal amount of category theory not to be insane from the modern mathematical perspective (he cleverly hints at more category theory in the problems). This is his masterplan for introducing theoretical physicists to abstract mathematical concepts. One sometimes hears expressed the view that some sort of uncertainty principle operates in the interaction between mathematics and physics: the greater the mathematical care used to formulate a concept, the less the physical insight to be gained from that formulation. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0226288625?v=glance   (297 words)
