Differential 2-rigs

We propose the notion of differential 2-rig, a category R equipped with coproducts and a monoidal structure distributing over them, also equipped with an endofunctor m : R → R that satisfies a…

Symmetries in reversible programming: from symmetric rig groupoids to reversible programming languages

This paper gives a denotational semantics for the Pi family of reversible programming languages for boolean circuits, using weak groupoids à la Homotopy Type Theory, and shows how to derive an equational theory for it, presented by 2-combinators witnessing equivalences of type isomorphisms.

Sheet diagrams for bimonoidal categories

Bimonoidal categories (also known as rig categories) are categories with two monoidal structures, one of which distributes over the other. We formally define sheet diagrams, a graphical calculus for…
