Aspects of categorical physics: a category for modelling dependence relations and a generalised entropy functor
- Abstract:
-
Two applications of Category Theory are considered. The link between them is applications to Physics and more specifically to Entropy.
The first research chapter is broader in scope and not explicitly about Physics, although connections to Statistical Mechanics are made towards the end of the chapter. Matroids are abstract structures that describe dependence, and strong maps are certain structure-preserving functions between them with desirable properties. We examine properties of v...
