    • brief category:people-entry for hyperlinking references

    • wrote a few lines at differential calculus, just so that the link does point somewhere. Clearly just a stub, to be expanded.

    • have added (here) as a class of examples the details of the construction of the super-Minkowski Lie group in any dimension,

      by !include-ing the file just announced here

    • changed title to match more systematic naming convention

      diff, v14, current

    • added mentioning of the Poincaré lemma for 1-forms over 1-connected domains (here)

      diff, v21, current

    • I added some more information under Frobenius algebra. I would like to add the axioms in picture form, but I haven't figure out how to upload pictures yet. I'm sure I could figure it out if I wanted...
    • have added to conjugation action a detailed exposition of how the conjugation action is the internal hom of actions, here.

    • Quick stub, mostly written from memory.

    • Thanks to a Guest comment here I looked at this page for essentially the first time, and realized that it’s one more thing that’s naturally done in linear constructive mathematics (“complemented subsets” or “disjoint pairs” are the elements of the linear powerset).

      One question: this page says that the disjoint pairs form a “Boolean rig”, but that doesn’t seem right to me. A Boolean rig would, I presume, lack a negation operation entirely; but here we do have an involutive “negation” even though it’s not the “additive inverse”. I would say that the disjoint pairs form a De Morgan algebra, and in fact more generally a *\ast-autonomous lattice. Am I misinterpreting the intended meaning of “Boolean rig”?

      Also, what is the “Handbook of Constructive Analysis” referred to (as a graylink from Bishop \& Bridges)? I can’t find it on google.

    • the link to the Oberwolfach Report pdf had ceased to work. So I have (here) replaced it by a working link and also uploaded the report to the nLab server

    • I created this article so that links from Cheng space point to an actual article on the nLab.

    • The entry monomorphism used to start off saying that a monomorphism is an epimorphism in the opposite category…

      I have polished and expanded the text now, trying to make it look more like an actual exposition and explanation. I have also expanded a little the Examples-section, and similarly at epimorphism.

      These weird kind of entries date from the early days of the nnLab, when none of us saw yet what the nnLab would once be. Back then it was fun to proceed this way, now it feels awkward.

      I hereby pose a challenge to the nnForum community:

      I challenge you to each pick one entry on a basic topic (nothing fancy), go to the corresponding nnLab entry and give it a gentle introductory Idea-section, make sure that the basic motivating examples are mentioned in the order in which the newbie needs to see them, and that the key facts are stated as nicely discernible propositions, best with proof or at least with some helpful pointer, in short, to make the entry a useful read for those readers who would profit from reading it, especially those who do not know the nPOV yet, but might be guided to learn and appreciate it.

    • a bare list of entry names, to be !include-ed into the “Related concepts”-sections of the relevant entries – for ease of cross-linking

    • Ken Brown algebraist, distinguish from Kenneth S. Brown, an algebraic topologist.

      v1, current

    • a bare list of references, to be !include-ed into the References-sections of relevant entries (such as at anyons and at topological order)

      The list means to bring out the wide-spread consideration, in theoretical articles, of anyons whose positions in real space vary on a torus (or even higher genus surfaces) instead of a plane – an assumption that is necessary for many of the intended theoretical conclusions to be valid, but rather dubious as an assumption about actual physical systems (away from simulation).

      The preprint by Gaiotto & Johnson-Freyd at the end is one of the few places that I am aware of where this assumption is questioned, and I included a couple of paragraphs of quote.

      (This all in preparation for an article pointing out that anyonic states can in principle be localized also in more abstract spaces than “position space”, some of which are naturally toroidal, such as the case of reciprocal momentum space for which I took the liberty of pointing to our existing 2206.13563.)

    • Todd,

      when you see this here and have a minute, would you mind having a look at monoidal category to see if you can remove the query-box discussion there and maybe replace it by some crisp statement?

      Thanks!

    • I created hypermonoid, polishing the comments I made in the hypermonoid thread into an article. The last subsection of the article mentions a general technique for constructing hypermonoids which ought to immediately suggest further examples to a quantum group specialist like Zoran, but I am not such a specialist. I also inserted some shameless self-promotion under References.

    • Removed the sentence

      “If XX has decidable equality, then the negation of equality is a (in fact the unique) tight apartness on XX, and any function from XX to any set YY (with any tight apartness on YY) must be strongly extensional.”

      because is not true. Assuming WLPO, Cantor space has decidable equality but the negation of equality is still not the tight apartness relation on Cantor space.

    • added a Properties-section to pullback

    • Where does this concept come from? The page lists no relevant references, nor can I find any search results for “quadrable cospan”. Furthermore, the “Note on terminology” mentions the terminology “carrable”, which means something different as far as I can tell (and certainly in the cited references): namely, a morphism along which all pullbacks are admitted.
