• The categorical theory of relations and quantization 

      Lychagin, Valentin V.; Jakobsen, Per K. (Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2001-10-30)
      In this paper we develops a categorical theory of relations and use this formulation to define the notion of quantization for relations. Categories of relations are defined in the context of symmetric monoidal categories. They are shown to be symmetric monoidal categories in their own right and are found to be isomorphic to certain categories of A−A bicomodules. Properties of relations are ...
    • Theory of linear G-difference equations 

      Lychagin, Valentin V.; Jakobsen, Per K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 1997-12-17)
      We introduce the notion of difference equation defined on a structured set. The symmetry group of the structure determines the set of difference operators. All main notions in the theory of difference equations are introduced as invariants of the action of the symmetry group. Linear equations are modules over the skew group algebra, solutions are morphisms relating a given equation to other ...
