Logical Aspects of Virtual Double Categories

Abstract

This thesis deals with two main topics: virtual double categories as semantics environments for predicate logic, and a syntactic presentation of virtual double categories as a type theory. One significant principle of categorical logic is bringing together the semantics and the syntax of logical systems in a common categorical framework. This thesis is intended to propose a double-categorical method for categorical logic in line with this principle. On the semantic side, we investigate virtual double categories as a model of predicate logic and illustrate that this framework subsumes the existing frameworks properly. On the syntactic side, we develop a type theory called FVDblTT that is designed as an internal language for virtual double categories.

A model structure for cartesian 2-fibrations

Cartesian 2-fibrations provide a way to understand indexed categories, but their classical ``straightening'' construction requires several layers of weak coherence data. This paper develops a homotopical framework that replaces much of this bookkeeping with a fully strict model. By using marked 2-categories to record the cartesian morphisms and 2-cells, we construct a model structure whose fibrant objects are precisely the cartesian 2-fibrations over a fixed 2-category $\mathcal{C}$. We then show that the marked Grothendieck construction identifies these 2-fibrations, up to weak equivalence, with strict 2-functors from $\mathcal{C}$ into $2\mathrm{Cat}$. As an additional contribution, we construct localizations of 2-categories that simultaneously invert selected morphisms and 2-cells.

A Natural Fuzzy Order on Fuzzy Numbers

This paper introduces a natural fuzzy order on fuzzy numbers that extends the natural orders on real numbers and interval numbers. We investigate its completeness properties and show that the space of uniformly bounded fuzzy numbers is conically complete and conically cocomplete, and that it is complete if and only if the underlying continuous t-norm is the G\"odel t-norm. Moreover, it is proved that this space constitutes a \([0,1]\)-enriched domain if and only if the underlying continuous t-norm satisfies the (S) condition. These results provide a foundation for ordering fuzzy numbers.

Noetherian forms of free non-symmetric operads

In this paper, we study certain categories of labeled finite rooted ordered trees over a fixed set of labels where each label is equipped with an arity: a fixed number of children that the vertex with the given label must have. Equivalently, these are expression trees for operations in a free non-symmetric operad. A morphism between these trees matches a pruning of one tree (a prefix) with an entire subtree of another (a suffix). We characterize such categories, up to isomorphism, in terms of suitable exactness properties. It turns out that these categories exhibit strong algebraic behavior, in the sense that every such category, when appended with a strict initial object, has a particularly nice noetherian form.
