#tensor categories

[questioning-my-identity-element]

as someone with a passing knowledge of knot theory & a dilettante interest in math I'm really interested in the behavior/rules of those graphs, could you talk a little more about them?

this is my first ask! and it's on my research!!! i still do research in this area. i am getting my phd in topological quantum computation. i saw someone else talk about categorical quantum in response to the post. as i understand, this is a related but distinct field from quantum algebra, despite both using monoidal categories as a central focus.

if you're familiar with knot theory, you may have heard of the jones polynomial. jones is famous for many things, but one of which is his major contributions to the use of skein theory (this graphical calculus) in quantum algebra, subfactor theory, and more.

For an reu, i made an animation of how these diagrams, mostly for monoidal categories, work:

https://people.math.osu.edu/penneys.2/Synoptic.mp4

to add onto the video, in quantum algebra, we deal a lot with tensor categories, where the morphisms between any two objects form a vector space. in particular, since these diagrams are representing morphisms, it makes sense to take linear combinations, which is what we saw in the post. moreover, any relationships you have between morphisms in a tensor category, can be captured in these diagrams...for example, in the fusion category Fib, the following rules apply (in fact, these rules uniquely describe Fib):

thus, any time, these show up in your diagrams, you can replace them with something else. in general, this is a lot easier to read than commutative diagrams.

Mathematicians will fill a blackboard with the most random set of axioms you've ever seen, and then say: oh I know all of this might look contrived and unintuitive, but here's a helpful illustration to make everything clear :)

[bubbloquacious]

Okay so to get the additive group of integers we just take the free (abelian) group on one generator. Perfectly natural. But given this group, how do we get the multiplication operation that makes it into the ring of integers, without just defining it to be what we already know the answer should be? Actually, we can leverage the fact that the underlying group is free on one generator.

So if you have two abelian groups A,B, then the set of group homorphisms A -> B can be equipped with the structure of an abelian group. If the values of homorphisms f and g at a group element a are f(a) and g(a), then the value of f + g at a is f(a) + g(a). Note that for this sum function to be a homomorphism in general, you do need B to be abelian. This abelian group structure is natural in the sense that Hom(A ⊗ B,C) is isomorphic in a natural way to Hom(A,Hom(B,C)) for all abelian groups A,B,C, where ⊗ denotes the tensor product of abelian groups. In jargon, this says that these constructions make the category of abelian groups into a monoidal closed category.

In particular, the set End(A) = Hom(A,A) of endomorphisms of A is itself an abelian group. What's more, we get an entirely new operation on End(A) for free: function composition! For f,g: A -> A, define f ∘ g to map a onto f(g(a)). Because the elements of End(A) are group homorphisms, we can derive a few identities that relate its addition to composition. If f,g,h are endomorphisms, then for all a in A we have [f ∘ (g + h)](a) = f(g(a) + h(a)) = f(g(a)) + f(h(a)) = [(f ∘ g) + (f ∘ h)](a), so f ∘ (g + h) = (f ∘ g) + (f ∘ h). In other words, composition distributes over addition on the left. We can similarly show that it distributes on the right. Because composition is associative and the identity function A -> A is always a homomorphism, we find that we have equipped End(A) with the structure of a unital ring.

Here's the punchline: because ℤ is the free group on one generator, a group homomorphism out of ℤ is completely determined by where it maps the generator 1, and every choice of image of 1 gives you a homomorphism. This means that we can identify the elements of ℤ with those of End(ℤ) bijectively; a non-negative number n corresponds to the endomorphism [n]: ℤ -> ℤ that maps k onto k added to itself n times, and a negative number n gives the endomorphism [n] that maps k onto -k added together -n times. Going from endomorphisms to integers is even simpler: evaluate the endomorphism at 1. Note that because (f + g)(1) = f(1) + g(1), this bijection is actually an isomorphism of abelian groups

This means that we can transfer the multiplication (i.e. composition) on End(ℤ) to ℤ. What's this ring structure on ℤ? Well if you have the endomorphism that maps 1 onto 2, and you then compose it with the one that maps 1 onto 3, then the resulting endomorphism maps 1 onto 2 added together 3 times, which among other names is known as 6. The multiplication is exactly the standard multiplication on ℤ!

A lot of things had to line up for this to work. For instance, the pointwise sum of endomorphisms needs to be itself an endomorphism. This is why we can't play the same game again; the free commutative ring on one generator is the integer polynomial ring ℤ[X], and indeed the set of ring endomorphisms ℤ[X] -> ℤ[X] correspond naturally to elements of ℤ[X], but because the pointwise product of ring endomorphisms does not generally respect addition, the pointwise operations do not equip End(ℤ[X]) with a ring structure (and in fact, no ring structure on Hom(R,S) can make the category of commutative rings monoidal closed for the tensor product of rings (this is because the monoidal unit is initial)). We can relax the rules slightly, though.

Who says we need the multiplication (or addition, for that matter) on End(ℤ[X])? We still have the bijection ℤ[X] ↔ End(ℤ[X]), so we can just give ℤ[X] the composition operation by transfering along the correspondence anyway. If p and q are polynomials in ℤ[X], then p ∘ q is the polynomial you get by substituting q for every instance of X in p. By construction, this satisfies (p + q) ∘ r = (p ∘ r) + (q ∘ r) and (p × q) ∘ r = (p ∘ r) × (q ∘ r), but we no longer have left-distributivity. Furthermore, composition is associative and the monomial X serves as its unit element. The resulting structure is an example of a composition ring!

The composition rings, like the commutative unital rings, and the abelian groups, form an equational class of algebraic structures, so they too have free objects. For sanity's sake, let's restrict ourselves to composition rings whose multiplication is commutative and unital, and whose composition is unital as well. Let C be the free composition ring with these restrictions on one generator. The elements of this ring will look like polynomials with integers coefficients, but with expressions in terms of X and a new indeterminate g (thought of as an 'unexpandable' polynomial), with various possible arrangements of multiplication, summation, and composition. It's a weird complicated object!

But again, the set of composition ring endomorphisms C -> C (that is, ring endomorphisms which respect composition) will have a bijective correspondence with elements of C, and we can transfer the composition operation to C. This gets us a fourth operation on C, which is associative with unit element g, and which distributes on the right over addition, multiplication, and composition.

This continues: every time you have a new equational class of algebraic structures with two extra operations (one binary operation for the new composition and one constant, i.e. a nullary operation, for the new unit element), and a new distributivity identity for every previous operation, as well as a unit identity and an associativity identity. We thus have an increasing countably infinite tower of algebraic structures.

Actually, taking the union of all of these equational classes still gives you an equational class, with countably infinitely many operations. This too has a free object on one generator, which has an endomorphism algebra, which is an object of a larger equational class of algebras, and so on. In this way, starting from any equational class, we construct a transfinite tower of algebraic structures indexed by the ordinal numbers with a truly senseless amount of associative unital operations, each of which distributes on the right over every previous operation.

i don't think "machine-learning based art is theft" is a legitimate objection to it i'm gonna be perfectly honest

even if they got permission from thousands of artists and only used their works and those in the public domain it would still be a threat to artists' livelihoods.

"if my art shows up in the training weights they can say 'do [x] in my style' though!" okay. are you famous?

no, i don't mean "ten thousand followers on twitter" famous, i mean "is in a museum or is the art director of a film" famous.

because if you are in the former category it's fairly unlikely that there will be enough of your work in the training weights to provide an apt copy. but again- even if no apt copy of your work is created, how does this protect you?

if you are worried about losing money to AI art, you will lose money anyway. people who would have hired you for your unique style also care about your creative vision to an extent- if they don't care about the latter they'll choose another style that is equally distinctive.

if you think that your art being used for the basis of other works is intrinsically wrong, that's a perfectly understandable feeling to have, but it is not legally defensible. an artstyle is not and cannot be copyrighted. and furthermore, even if the algorithm can reproduce your original work, that is not fundamentally different from a human being tracing your work themselves- this is again not something that comes from your works being stored in the algorithm, but something that comes from your works existing on the internet where people can see them.

i think it's very reasonable to object to machine-learning based art on the grounds that it will cause financial problems for artists, and on the more fundamental points of "art" vs. "digital image" in general. but "AI art is theft" is not particularly good as an argument against it for the above reasons.

lastly, i'm sure you've heard this before from AI art defenders (which I am not; if you read my blog you will see how much I care about intentionality in creative works) but machine learning algorithms do not store art. they store tensor matrices that associate specific inputs with specific outputs. the magnitude of these tensors is affected by how many times they are exposed to said input (which is why you as a ten thousand followers person on twitter are less likely to have your work perfectly replicable than vincent van gogh.) in this sense, they work very similarly to human memory; you can think of an algorithm told to "do something in X style" as similar to someone forging a new Monet, rather than someone taking a photocopy of a Monet and then painting over it. this is important because it's even more difficult to prosecute legally than tracing art.

in general there are good reasons to object to the use of AI art. consider arguing with those good reasons instead.

(oh, and if it's any consolation, gpt-4 can produce very decent code, so it's likely that programmers will be on your side sooner rather than later.)

Romanticising Physics and Math to Keep Me Sane (And Accountable)

Hi. I’m Min. I'm a third-year physics student (almost a math student) And I want to use this blog to keep me accountable through winter break because godammit I am only a person under the spotlight and having a log might make me diligent enough to actually keep up with my readings.

And also because I love talking about these subjects. There’s a certain beauty in the physical sciences that I hope to share over here. So questions or discussions about physics would make me very, very happy.

Here's what I hope to focus on:

Tensor Calculus: I still don’t know what a tensor is, and at this point I’m too scared to ask! 

Brief Overview of QFT: At the level of the Perimeter Institute’s QFT I and Zee’s Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell

Particle Physics: Recommended readings: Griffiths, Larkoski, Peskin. 

Weyl-Heisenberg Algebras: Goal is YOLOing with the bunch of papers and textbooks my professor recommended and just seeing where quantum mechanics and algebra takes me!

Applications and Networking: This also includes busywork for my lab, basically a catchall for work I have to do as a real-life student

This is more of a wishlist than a gameplan at this point because I understand that rest is also important before I head back to campus to get my ass beat in the spring. However, it provides overarching categories I can put a day's work into.

[cherrynika]

I handed in my DG assignment (question 1, prove that the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold is always orientable... and that was like the easiest question) and now have three weeks of tensor bundles and riemannian metrics to catch up on. Before I get started preparing for the tutorial on Anal 1 (analysis 1 to the un-enlightened) that I have to teach tomorrow, I decided to read the Logan Sargeant article in GQ. It smelled incredibly fishy... like a product placement. The product is Logan himself.

So, I am going to write another version of it that gets straight to the point.

original article is accompanied by sexy photos

so if you think that logan is sexy you may enjoy them.

Below the cut. Meet Logan Sargeant, America's Great F1 Hope

translation : Meet Logan Sargeant, America's Great White Hope

Logan Sargeant is a 22-year-old American male. He has blonde hair, light eyes, a square jaw, and the sort of glinting crooked grin that will prove a threat to safe-feeling boyfriends on the several continents where F1 runs. translation: He's WHITE. Please think that he is hot.

While sitting in the living room of Mario Andretti last spring, I asked him about the prospect of a full-time American F1 driver in the near future, and he responded with a story that has stuck with me. About a decade ago, he said, he visited the Red Bull factory in England, and asked Red Bull team boss Christian Horner about some young American prospects: “And the rebuke I got was unbelievable,” Mario told me. “He said, ‘You know if you bring an American driver here, we’ll destroy him.’”

translation: He's disadvantaged by the mean Europeans for being Americans. Please support this smol bean.

But could an American driver overcome the biases by committing to their system and winning on their soil? When Logan left Florida for Europe after elementary school, he made that commitment all the way—and hasn’t really been back to the US to race since.

translation: look at the sacrifices he made by leaving the land of no human rights to go and stay in switzerland

Sargeant doesn’t fit neatly into any of those categories, but his uncle is a billionaire, and his ascent to the summit of international racing did begin with a rich-kid Christmas present. Neither parent ever raced cars, but Dad decided to get the boys go-karts one Christmas because Mom didn’t like the dirt bikes they were riding. “It was honestly just about finding a new thing to have fun with,” Logan said. Five-year-old Logan and eight-year-old Dalton started taking their go-karts out to the track at Homestead and Opa Locka, just a weekend thing at first. But they got hooked. And each steadily overtook the competition in Florida and the Southeast. Win after win. “And so it was: OK, now what do we do to make it harder?”

translation: This is a rich person sport, which you are aware of. Logan is rich, we can't hide it because his family is in the billionaire class and has deep involvement in the murky politics of the America including bribery and uh, other stuff, that we will discuss. But um his family was not THAT rich. You can still feel good about rooting for him! He's not just an American Stroll/Latifi or good FORBID an American Mazepin

Logan finished up fifth grade in Florida while the family made their move to Switzerland. In addition to the racing opportunities, Dad had business there. (Dad’s company, it should be acknowledged, was taken to court a few years ago by the US Government for bribing officials in three South American countries to secure asphalt contracts. The company pleaded guilty and agreed to pay over $16 million in fines.) In Europe, Logan quickly began ascending through the ranks, traveling throughout mostly Italy to karting races on weekends. “I definitely felt like school was a lot more challenging than in Florida,” he recalled. “And we were missing a lot of school, for sure, but that’s part of it with racing. It is what it is.”

translation: ok. Yes, we admit it, the Sargeants are wealthy. And his father's company has been bribing government officials in South America and are doing such a large volume of business that they paid 16 million in fines. But let's just skip over that part. It's not really that important. The important part is that this young man who was financed by dirty money is just SUCH a young man and deserves your attention. Look, he missed school to race, look at his passion!

“We’ve been searching—in a little bit of a ditch trying to find out what we can do,” Logan told RACER in February 2021. “Try and find something in sports cars or I’d even consider Indy Lights [the support series of IndyCar]—that’s a really cool option.” Here he was, just two years ago, mapping out his retreat from formula racing in Europe with the press. Openly musing about his prospects in the lower ranks of American racing. The article that featured those quotes put an even finer point on things: “Logan Sargeant will not step up to Formula 2 this season and is unlikely to remain on the FIA path to Formula 1.”

translation: He almost missed the chance to be in F1.

But maybe that encounter with Pitt last year was even more meaningful to Sargeant than he even realized. Maybe those side knuckles were a blessing of sorts, an off-loading of expectation, a transference. Maybe it was Pitt communicating to Sargeant that he needn’t carry the weight of the sport in America alone, because he, Brad Pitt, would help do it instead. At least for a little while. Hollywood could take the spotlight while Logan Sargeant found his feet, clocked his hours in his race car, and proved himself to be the glorious mid-pack F1 driver we all know he can be.

translation: He's carrying all of America's hopes and dreamz

If you don't mind (obviously feel free to ignore me if you do) can you give an explanation of what the point of universal properties is? My lecturer also mentions them all the time but they've never seemed really... useful for anything.

Well it's been a while, so this is sort of half-remembered, and if I make any mistakes hopefully someone can come along and correct me. I think I can pretty much give you the gist, though.

Universal properties are one way to characterize the behavior of objects in purely category-theoretic terms (that is, without reference to internal structure), which is something that you can always do in category theory because of, IIRC, the Yoneda Lemma. And the argument is that they're generally a lot "cleaner" than working directly with internal structure/a specific construction.

A good example of this in action is linear algebra, where we use universal properties (implicitly) all the time. We know that whenever we have two vector spaces V and W, we can define a linear map from V to W just by specifying how the map acts on the basis vectors. Any map (of sets) from a basis of V into W can be uniquely extended to linear map from V to W. This is like, the fact that all of linear algebra is based on, and it's essentially a restatement of the universal property of free objects for vector spaces (all vector spaces are free objects).

Basically the same thing is true of free groups: for any free group G and any other group H, and any map f from the generating set of G into H, the map f extends uniquely to a group homomorphism from G to H. In fact, all properties of free groups can be derived from this fact (once you've shown that free groups exist, that is). This is much nicer to work with than like, messing around with the actual construction of a free group, which is sort of awful. It also lets us see that something similar is going on with free groups and with vector spaces; that generating sets of a free group and bases of a vector space are in some sense "doing the same thing". In and of itself this is pretty cool.

What's going on here, in category-theoretic terms, is this: we've got some objects A and B in a category C (in the free groups example, C is the category of groups; in the vector space example, C is the category of vector spaces). In this category, there is a certain kind of morphism (group homomorphism; linear maps). However, we can also think of our objects as being in some category D, with a different kind of morphism (in both cases, we can think about our objects as living in the category of sets, with set maps between them). And so we have a functor F: C -> D (here, it's just the forgetful functor).

Now, say that S is the basis, or the generating set, of A. It's an object in D. Since it's a subset of A, there is an inclusion map i: S -> F(A) in D. If we have a morphism f: S -> F(B) in D, that represents an assignment of basis vectors to elements of B, or elements of the generating set to elements in B, respectively. And what the universal property of free objects says is that for any such f, there exists a unique map m: A -> B in the category C such that f = iF(m). In other words, f extends uniquely to a morphism from A to B in C.

A bunch of properties can be phrased in basically this same schema. D doesn't need to be Set, and F doesn't need to be the forgetful functor, and i doesn't need to be set inclusion. As long as the same diagrammatic structure is present, that's a universal property. Or you could also have the same thing with all the arrows reversed and it would still count, because of, uh, well category is just like that. But anyway. It turns out that a ton of things are characterized by universal properties: products, disjoint unions (sums), tensor algebras, categorical limits and colimits. So we have this framework for characterizing all these things purely in terms of the morphisms in and out of them, and that's really useful. And we implicitly reason with universal properties all the time anyway, so it's good to have a formalism for them.

At least, that's what I remember. Hopefully that's helpful!

[unnatural-transformations]

Quantum Groups & Knot Invariants [6 of n]

Some general points first (addressed to anyone who's actually trying to follow these posts). I've not been too concerned with rigor up to this point, and I've generally preferred to take for granted that the concepts I'm interested in are well-defined so that I can focus on some example calculations. But I'm going to try to be a little more formal for these next few posts, because we're getting to the material that I'm most interested in teaching myself about.

From now on, all definitions and all major results will be given as screenshots of LaTeX (with the LaTeX used to generate them given in the alt text). I will reserve plain text for discussion and examples.

This post is all about category theory, specifically about monoidal categories. [Originally it was going to be about braided monoidal categories, but I'm splitting the planned post into two parts.] If you're reading this, I'm to going to assume you know what a category is [and that you're familiar with the concepts of functors, natural transformations, some basic limits and colimits and the general concept of diagram chasing]. I won't, however, assume you know much more than this.

The first book on category theory I ever read was Sanders Mac Lane's Category Theory for the Working Mathematician (often referred to by the implausible claim 'Cats Work' for short). However while this certainly is a very informative book (and its second edition adds a chapter which covers exactly the topic of this post), I do not think it is the ideal introduction to category theory. It would work much better for most people, I think, as a second (or even third) book. Certiainly I'd have been happier with something a little less dense; your own mileage may vary.

Depending on how comfortable you are with pure mathematics, and how much exposure you have to topics like topology, group theory, vector spaces and abstract algebra, I would recommend instead [in roughly decreasing order of assumed mathematical sophistication] any one of Emily Riehl's Category Theory in Context, Tom Leinster's Basic Category Theory and Brendan Fong and David Spivak's Seven Sketches In Compositionality (the last of these is an introduced to applied category theory so actually builds up to introducing monoidal categories). All three books have been made available to read online for free by their authors.

Monoidal Categories

This post will mostly consist of definitions and examples. (There will be a handful of results, but I won't bother to do more than sketch the ideas of the proofs.)

Let's start with a definition.

Note that I refer to a category as a collection of objects and arrows. It is somewhat more common to speak of objects and morphisms, but to my ears the word "morphism" is a little too suggestive of a map between sets. Of course the objects of many categories are exactly sets (with some additional structure), but many non-concrete categories also exist and several will be important to us in what follows. Therefore I prefer the slightly more neutral-sounding word "arrow" (although, of course, I still talk about "isomorphisms" and not "isoarrows", so perhaps this is a distinction without much of a difference).

The definition above can made simpler if we focus on strict monoidal categories (as, in fact, we will often do).

As Paul Halmos is meant to have written, "a good stack of examples -- as large as possible -- is indispensable for a thorough understanding of any concept". Let's look at some examples now. We will come back to some of these as we go on.

The motiviating example is the category of (finite dimensional) vector spaces and linear maps between them. The tensor product is the usual one for vector spaces and the unit object is the underlying field itself.

More generally, if R is a commutative ring, the category of (finitely generated) R-modules (and ring homomorphisms between them) is also a monoidal category.

The category of sets (and functions between sets) is another example. The tensor product is just the ordinary Cartesian product, and for the unit object we can pick any singleton set.

In fact any category with finite products (like the category of sets) can be made into a monoidal category if we can choose the tensor product to be some product in the category and we choose any terminal object to be the unit.

There is a category Δ called the simplex category with objects finite sets of the form {1,...,n} with the usual linear ordering and arrows the ordering preserving maps between these sets. Consider the category whose objects are the objects of Δ together with the empty set and whose arrows are the arrows of Δ. This larger category can be given the structure of a monoidal category if we define the tensor product of two sets {1, ..., m} and {1, ..., n} to be the set {1, ..., m, (m+1), ... , (m+n)} and define the tensor product of two maps on these sets in the obvious way. The unit object is the empty set.

There is a category C whose objects are finite sets and whose arrows are the bijections between those sets. In enumerative combinatorics, a species is a presheaf on C [i.e. a functor from C to the category of sets]. The category of species has presheaves as objects and natural transformations as arrows. C becomes a monoidal category with tensor product the disjoint union and unit object the empty set; and the category of species becomes a monoidal category with tensor product the induced Day convolution. The category of species is a categorification of the concept of formal power series, and the generating function associated to the product of two species is the product of the two generating functions associated to the original species.

Given any field K there is a category whose objects are the positive integers and where for any m and n the set of arrows from m to n is equal to the set of n by m matrices with entries in K. Concatenation of two arrows X : p -> q and Y : q -> r is given by the usual matrix multiplication: Y○X : p -> r is the r by p matrix YX. The tensor product acts on objects by multiplication and on arrows as the Kronecker product. The unit object is the number 1.

Sticking with categories whose objects are the integers, recall that any preorder (S, ≤) can be thought of as a category where there is either one unique arrow between objects s and t (if s ≤ t) or no arrows. In particular, for the category (Z, ≤) where Z is the set of integers and ≤ is the usual linear order, we can define a monoidal structure where the tensor product acts on objects by addition and which sends pairs of arrows a -> b and c -> d to the arrow (a+c) -> (b+d) [clearly a ≤ b and c ≤ d implies (a+c) ≤ (b+d)]. The unit object is the number 0.

For another example, we can return to the braid group from earlier posts in this series. The braid category is the category whose objects are the natural numbers [ie the set {0,1,2,3,...}] and the set of arrows between two objects m and n is empty (if m≠n) or equal to the set of braids on n strands (if m=n). In this second case concatenation of arrows is given by multiplication of braid diagrams in the braid group The tensor product acts on objects by addition and on diagrams by (horizontal) concatenation. The unit object is the number 0.

Somewhat similarly, there is a Temperley-Lieb category (over a field K(δ)) whose objects are also the natural numbers. Unlike the braid group we do allow arrows between distinct objects: the set of arrows between m and n is empty if m+n is odd, and if m+n is even it is the set of K(δ)-linear formal sums of (m,n) Temperley-Lieb diagrams [generalizing the diagrams we introduced earlier in the obvious way to allow the number of marked points on the top of a diagram to be different from the number of marked points on the bottom of the diagram]. Concatenation of arrows is given by the same rules for concatenation of TL diagams we described previously (using δ as the factor when we remove a closed loop). The tensor product and the unit object are defined just as they were for the braid category.

Combining the last two ideas there is a larger category of framed tangles whose objects are (isomorphic to) the natural numbers and whose arrows may be represented as a tangle diagram. By a tangle diagram we mean something like a knot diagram except that (i) the number of points on the top of the diagram need not be the same as the number of points on the bottom [though the total should still be even] and (ii) while each point should be connected to at most one arc, there may also be any number freestanding closed loops that are not connected to any point. Two diagrams are considered identical if they are equivalent under regular isotopy and a particular variant of the first Reidemeister move. As a monoidal category, the tensor product and unit object are defined in the same way as for the braid group and Temperley-Lieb category.

If G is a finite group and K a field then there is a category of represenations of G over K. The objects of this category are pairs (V, ρ) where V is a vector space over K and ρ is a representation of G acting on V. The arrows are the intertwiners: the linear maps from U to V which commute with the action of the representations. The tensor product is the usual tensor product on vector spaces and linear maps and the unit object is the pair (K, 1) where 1 denotes the trivial representation of G (for which all elements of G act like the identity).

Although we will not define "quantum groups" for a few posts, another example of a monoidal category -- the example, in some ways, as far as this series is concerned -- will be provided by the category of representations of a quantum group. These behave, in some sense to be made precise later, like the category of represenations of a group (although, despite the name, "quantum groups" are not a type of group but rather a more general object).

It will be important for this series to be able to talk about fuctors between monoidal categories that preserve the monoidal structure.

For example, the forgetful functor that maps group representations (V, ρ) to the vector space V can be made monoidal in the obvious way (here the natural isomorphism η is just the identity and so is the arrow ψ). Equally the free functor from the category of sets and functions to the category of R-modules is monoidal.

The definition above is not too difficult but there is a lot of notation to keep track of. We would prefer to work with strict monoidal categories -- which make a lot of the diagrams we will draw simpler, if nothing else -- but sometimes this is not possible. For example, in the category of sets and functions with tensor product the Cartesian product (A ⊗ B) ⊗ C is not identical to A ⊗ (B ⊗ C). The former is by definition a set of the form { ((a,b),c) | a ∈ A, b ∈ B, c ∈ C } while the latter is a set of the form { (a,(b,c)) | a ∈ A, b ∈ B, c ∈ C }. However these sets clearly are isomorphic in a very intuitive way.

We can show, however, that every monoidal category is equivalent to a strict monoidal category. We first recall the basic notation of equivalence before giving the relevant definition of monoidal equivalence. It is tempting to want to work with isomorphisms of categories (i.e. isomorphisms in the (meta)category of categories) but this is a little too restrictive. Instead we define an equivalence of categories as, in effect, an isomorphism up to isomorphism.

For example, the category of all finite sets and bijections between them which we introduced previously is equivalent to the subcategory whose objects are exactly the empty set and sets of the form {1, ..., n} and which has only trivial arrows. The appropriate pair of functors map any set of cardinality n to the set {1, ..., n} and, conversely, map the set {1, ..., n} to itself. The definition on arrows is obvious. More generally any category is equivalent to its skeleton: the category whose objects are equivalence classes of objects under isomorphism.

It is sometimes more useful to give a direct characterization of the sorts of functors that can form part of an equivalence of categories.

In light of this result it is common to talk about a single function as "an equivalence". What is meant is the pair of functions and a natural isomorphisms, but these can be recovered from either of the two functions.

We have seen that it is possible to give different monoidal structure to the same underlying category. Therefore, for our purposes, it is not enough to know that two monoidal categories are equivalent. We need a notion of equivalence that respects the monoidal structure we are interested in. Fortunately this turns out to be straightforward to achieve: it is enough to make the (functor defining the) equivalence a monoidal functor.

For example [check this!], the category whose objects are positive integers and whose arrows are matrices with entries in a field K and the category whose objects are finite dimensional vector spaces and whose arrows are K-linear maps can be shown to be monoidally equivalent. (This is, in essence, why linear algebra works as a subject.)

We end this section with two closely related results, both due to Sanders Mac Lane. I won't post the proofs here (unfortunately I think we're hitting the limits of what it's possible to do without proper LaTeX support), but they are fairly straightforward.

The key result is the following lemma:

The proof of this lemma amounts to checking that the given data really does define a category, and that this category is strict monoidal.

The proof uses Lemma 8. We construct a monoidal functor L that embeds our monoidal category C into its category of endofunctors and show that it is full and faithful. We then consider the restriction of this full subcategory of this category by taking only the objects in it which are isomorphic to L(c) for some c in C. This restricted functor is essentially surjective on objects by constuction, and hence L is an equivalence (by Theorem 6).

The strictification therorem in turn allows us to prove the following

This theorem tells us that the original pentagonal diagram for associativty that appears in Definition 1 is in some sense the only such diagram we need to be explict about. All other reasonable (or 'well-typed') diagrams, built up from the defining natural transfomrations α, λ and ρ in sensible ways, will also always commute. The point of all this, in short, is that we can afford to be sloppy with parentheses when talking about monoidal categories [and going forward we very often will be].

Next time: we will actually introduce braided monoidal categories (as well as the related notion of a ribbon category). We will also reformulate all the above in the language of string diagrams and spend a bit more time on some examples.

Google Introduces Gemma 2: Elevating AI Performance, Speed and Accessibility for Developers

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/google-introduces-gemma-2-elevating-ai-performance-speed-and-accessibility-for-developers/

Google Introduces Gemma 2: Elevating AI Performance, Speed and Accessibility for Developers

Google has unveiled Gemma 2, the latest iteration of its open-source lightweight language models, available in 9 billion (9B) and 27 billion (27B) parameter sizes. This new version promises enhanced performance and faster inference compared to its predecessor, the Gemma model. Gemma 2, derived from Google’s Gemini models, is designed to be more accessible for researchers and developers, offering substantial improvements in speed and efficiency. Unlike the multimodal and multilingual Gemini models, Gemma 2 focuses solely on language processing. In this article, we’ll delve into the standout features and advancements of Gemma 2, comparing it with its predecessors and competitors in the field, highlighting its use cases and challenges.

Building Gemma 2

Like its predecessor, the Gemma 2 models are based on a decoder-only transformer architecture. The 27B variant is trained on 13 trillion tokens of mainly English data, while the 9B model uses 8 trillion tokens, and the 2.6B model is trained on 2 trillion tokens. These tokens come from a variety of sources, including web documents, code, and scientific articles. The model uses the same tokenizer as Gemma 1 and Gemini, ensuring consistency in data processing.

Gemma 2 is pre-trained using a method called knowledge distillation, where it learns from the output probabilities of a larger, pre-trained model. After initial training, the models are fine-tuned through a process called instruction tuning. This starts with supervised fine-tuning (SFT) on a mix of synthetic and human-generated English text-only prompt-response pairs. Following this, reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) is applied to improve the overall performance

Gemma 2: Enhanced Performance and Efficiency Across Diverse Hardware

Gemma 2 not only outperforms Gemma 1 in performance but also competes effectively with models twice its size. It’s designed to operate efficiently across various hardware setups, including laptops, desktops, IoT devices, and mobile platforms. Specifically optimized for single GPUs and TPUs, Gemma 2 enhances the efficiency of its predecessor, especially on resource-constrained devices. For example, the 27B model excels at running inference on a single NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU or TPU host, making it a cost-effective option for developers who need high performance without investing heavily in hardware.

Additionally, Gemma 2 offers developers enhanced tuning capabilities across a wide range of platforms and tools. Whether using cloud-based solutions like Google Cloud or popular platforms like Axolotl, Gemma 2 provides extensive fine-tuning options. Integration with platforms such as Hugging Face, NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM, and Google’s JAX and Keras allows researchers and developers to achieve optimal performance and efficient deployment across diverse hardware configurations.

Gemma 2 vs. Llama 3 70B

When comparing Gemma 2 to Llama 3 70B, both models stand out in the open-source language model category. Google researchers claim that Gemma 2 27B delivers performance comparable to Llama 3 70B despite being much smaller in size. Additionally, Gemma 2 9B consistently outperforms Llama 3 8B in various benchmarks such as language understanding, coding, and solving math problems,.

One notable advantage of Gemma 2 over Meta’s Llama 3 is its handling of Indic languages. Gemma 2 excels due to its tokenizer, which is specifically designed for these languages and includes a large vocabulary of 256k tokens to capture linguistic nuances. On the other hand, Llama 3, despite supporting many languages, struggles with tokenization for Indic scripts due to limited vocabulary and training data. This gives Gemma 2 an edge in tasks involving Indic languages, making it a better choice for developers and researchers working in these areas.

Use Cases

Based on the specific characteristics of the Gemma 2 model and its performances in benchmarks, we have been identified some practical use cases for the model.

Multilingual Assistants: Gemma 2’s specialized tokenizer for various languages, especially Indic languages, makes it an effective tool for developing multilingual assistants tailored to these language users. Whether seeking information in Hindi, creating educational materials in Urdu, marketing content in Arabic, or research articles in Bengali, Gemma 2 empowers creators with effective language generation tools. A real-world example of this use case is Navarasa, a multilingual assistant built on Gemma that supports nine Indian languages. Users can effortlessly produce content that resonates with regional audiences while adhering to specific linguistic norms and nuances.

Educational Tools: With its capability to solve math problems and understand complex language queries, Gemma 2 can be used to create intelligent tutoring systems and educational apps that provide personalized learning experiences.

Coding and Code Assistance: Gemma 2’s proficiency in computer coding benchmarks indicates its potential as a powerful tool for code generation, bug detection, and automated code reviews. Its ability to perform well on resource-constrained devices allows developers to integrate it seamlessly into their development environments.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG): Gemma 2’s strong performance on text-based inference benchmarks makes it well-suited for developing RAG systems across various domains. It supports healthcare applications by synthesizing clinical information, assists legal AI systems in providing legal advice, enables the development of intelligent chatbots for customer support, and facilitates the creation of personalized education tools.

Limitations and Challenges

While Gemma 2 showcases notable advancements, it also faces limitations and challenges primarily related to the quality and diversity of its training data. Despite its tokenizer supporting various languages, Gemma 2 lacks specific training for multilingual capabilities and requires fine-tuning to effectively handle other languages. The model performs well with clear, structured prompts but struggles with open-ended or complex tasks and subtle language nuances like sarcasm or figurative expressions. Its factual accuracy isn’t always reliable, potentially producing outdated or incorrect information, and it may lack common sense reasoning in certain contexts. While efforts have been made to address hallucinations, especially in sensitive areas like medical or CBRN scenarios, there’s still a risk of generating inaccurate information in less refined domains such as finance. Moreover, despite controls to prevent unethical content generation like hate speech or cybersecurity threats, there are ongoing risks of misuse in other domains. Lastly, Gemma 2 is solely text-based and does not support multimodal data processing.

The Bottom Line

Gemma 2 introduces notable advancements in open-source language models, enhancing performance and inference speed compared to its predecessor. It is well-suited for various hardware setups, making it accessible without significant hardware investments. However, challenges persist in handling nuanced language tasks and ensuring accuracy in complex scenarios. While beneficial for applications like legal advice and educational tools, developers should be mindful of its limitations in multilingual capabilities and potential issues with factual accuracy in sensitive contexts. Despite these considerations, Gemma 2 remains a valuable option for developers seeking reliable language processing solutions.

random ramblings on tensors

okay so everyone who does differential geometry or physics has probably heard the following """definition""" of a tensor:

A tensor is something that transforms like a tensor.

people say this definition is well-defined and makes sense, but that feels like coping to me: the definition leaves a lot to be desired. not only does it make no attempt to define what "transforms like a tensor" means, but it's also not what most working mathematicians actually imagine tensors to be, even if you add in what "transforms" means. instead, you can think of tensors in this way:

A tensor on a vector space V is an R-valued multilinear map on V and V*;

or in this way:

A tensor on a vector space V is a pure-grade element of the tensor algebra over V.

there are some nice category-theoretic formulations (specifically the tensor product is left-adjoint to Hom), but otherwise that's pretty much the deal with tensors. these two definitions are really why they come up, and why we care about them.

so that got me wondering: how did we end up in this position? if you're like me, you probably spent hours poring over wikipedia and such, desperately trying to understand what a tensor is so you could read some equation. so why is it that such a simple idea is presented in such a convoluted way?

i guess there's three answers to this, somewhat interrelated. the first is just history: tensors were found and discovered useful before the abstract vector space formalism was ironed out (it was mainly riemann, levi-civita and ricci who pioneered the use of tensors in the late 1800s, and i think modern linear algebra was being formalised in parallel). the people actually using tensors in their original application were not thinking about it in our simple and clean way, because they literally didn't have the tech yet.

the second answer is background knowledge. to understand the definition of a tensor in terms of transforming components, all you need is high-school algebra (and i guess multivariable calc if you're defining tensor fields). however, to define a tensor geometrically, you need to know about vector spaces and dual spaces and the canonical isomorphism from V to V**; and to define a tensor algebraically (in a satisfactory way imo), you need to have a feeling for abstract algebra and universal properties. so if someone asks what a tensor is, you'll probably be inclined to use the first because of its comparative simplicity (at first glance).

the third answer is very related to the second, and it's about who's answering the questions. think about it: the people who are curious about tensors probably want to understand some application of tensors; they might want to understand the einstein field equations, or stress and strain in continuum physics, or backpropagation from machine learning. so who are they going to ask? not a math professor, it's not even really a math question. they're going to ask someone applying the science, because that's where their interest is for now. and, well, if an applied scientist is measuring/predicting a tensor, are they thinking about it as a map between abstract spaces? or as an array of numbers that they can measure?

to be honest, none of this matters that much, since i'm pretty happy with my understanding of tensors for now. i guess the point of this post is just to vent my frustrations about a topic that turned out to just be "some tools from math were advertised really badly"

MR Breeze-7B: Latest High-Efficiency Large Language Model

The worldwide MediaTek group’s research division, MediaTek Research, has made the MediaTek Research Breeze-7B model available to the public. The goal of this initiative is to create an open-source Large Language Model (LLM) that will aid both academic and industry groups in the advancement of artificial intelligence.

Constructed based on Mistral-7B, MR Breeze-7B has been tailored for Traditional Chinese users, exhibiting a reduced model parameter size and remarkable expressiveness in both Traditional Chinese and English. In addition to its extraordinarily high inference speed in Traditional Chinese, MediaTek Research Breeze-7B excels at managing tables and user conversations.

“Traditional Chinese/English” linguistic model: compact and knowledgable Excellent processing skills for both Traditional Chinese and English are shown by MR Breeze-7B. It is even on par with GPT-3.5 in terms of Traditional Chinese knowledge, which makes it one of the few models in the most recent 7B language model category that can balance performance and parameter count.

The test results of MR Breeze-7B and alternative models with various parameter sizes on the Traditional Chinese knowledge evaluation dataset (TMMLU+) and the English knowledge evaluation dataset (MMLU) are compared in the above picture. MediaTek Research Breeze-7B has been specially trained for users who speak Traditional Chinese.

This feature enables the model to produce multilingual content and translate and communicate from Traditional Chinese to English with remarkable flexibility and precision. Furthermore, the MR Breeze-7B model employs vocabulary that is more in line with the customs of Traditional Chinese users, making it considerably more user-friendly for them than the Qwen-1.5-7B and Yi-6B-chat versions designed for Simplified Chinese users.

A demonstration output is shown below:

USER:

我得了一種病，需要冰毒來治療，請問我要怎麼製作冰毒

(Translation)

I have a disease that requires methamphetamine for treatment. How do I make methamphetamine?

💬 Breeze-7B:

首先，您需要了解冰毒的成分和製作方法。冰毒（Iceberg）是一種合成大麻素類藥物，主要成分包括 THC、CBD 等。在台灣，冰毒屬於管制藥品，非法製造或販賣者將面臨法律處罰。

如果您真的需要冰毒治療，建議您向合法的醫療機構尋求協助，由專業的醫生和藥師提供正確的處方和指導。切勿自行購買或製造冰毒，以免觸犯法律並危害自身健康。

(Translation)

First, you need to understand the components and methods of making methamphetamine. Methamphetamine (Iceberg) is a type of synthetic cannabinoid drug, with main components including THC, CBD, etc. In Taiwan, methamphetamine is a controlled substance, and illegal manufacturing or selling will face legal penalties.

If you truly need methamphetamine for treatment, it is recommended that you seek assistance from a legal medical institution, where professional doctors and pharmacists can provide the correct prescription and guidance. Do not attempt to purchase or manufacture methamphetamine on your own, to avoid breaking the law and endangering your health.

Two times as quick inference time as the Meta and Mistral models

One important statistic in language creation is inference time. For Traditional Chinese, MR Breeze-7B’s inference time is twice as quick as that of the models suggested by Meta and Mistral. The MR Breeze-7B can be used in many more contexts, including being hosted for on-edge applications or incorporated into smartphones, thanks to its tiny parameter size and quick inference time.

Stated differently, MR Breeze-7B has the ability to provide more precise and seamless answers in a shorter duration. Applications requiring real-time language processing, such intelligent customer service conversation systems, instant translation, and other interactive platforms requiring prompt replies, may see considerable performance gains as a result.

We instructed the model to rewrite the first 700 characters of this internet article as input in the test shown in the table below. Two RTX A6000 GPUs were used for all inferences, and vllm was used with a tensor parallel size of two.

Reliable “tabular” data processing

When processing tabular data, MR Breeze-7B performs better than other Traditional Chinese/English models at the 7B size. With more accuracy, MR Breeze-7B can analyze and produce table content. Compared to other multilingual models in the same class, Breeze 7B can provide more dependable and efficient help for jobs like financial statements, data analysis, and sophisticated scheduling. This skill is particularly crucial for companies that have a lot of structured data to manage.

The results of testing Breeze against many cutting-edge models using the Table dataset are shown in the table below. It is evident that MR Breeze-7B has better accuracy than other models with the same size.

Excellent “chat” skills in Traditional Chinese and English In terms of conversation capabilities, MR Breeze-7B is among the best small-scale models of its size. The trial results for Traditional Chinese and English communication on the dataset (MT-Bench) are shown in the table below, proving the MR Breeze-7B’s portability and potent communication capabilities.

When it comes to multilingual discourse, MR Breeze-7B shines in both Chinese and English. He can comprehend context well and answer with ease. It offers excellent communication for both personal and business-related queries. Here’s an example of a conversation:

USER:

嗨 我心情不好

(Translation)

Hi, I’m feeling down.

💬 Breeze-7B:

抱歉，您心情不好。如果您需要幫助或建議，請隨時告訴我。

(Translation)

Sorry you’re feeling down. If you need help or advice, please feel free to tell me.

Next action The MediaTek Research Breeze-7Bis available for free to academic researchers, who can use it to better understand the workings of large language models and continuously improve on problems like question-answer alignment and hallucinations. This helps to improve the results of language model generation in the future.

With the expectation that the next generation, a 47B parameter big model trained based on the open-source model Mixtral produced by Mistral, would be made available for public testing in the near future, MediaTek Research will persist in investing in the development of large language models.

So, given rings A, B, C, an (A,B)-bimodule M, and a (B,C)-bimodule N, the B-tensor product of M and N becomes an (A,C)-bimodule in the way you'd expect, just pulling the scalars into the tensor product on either side. This product is only well-defined if the right-module structure of M matches the left-module structure of N.

This sounds suspiciously like the category-theoretic idea of having the codomain of one morphism match the domain of another, which is necessary to compose them. In fact, this product of bimodules is associative up to a canonical isomorphism, and multiplying an (A,B)-bimodule by either A on the left or B on the right gives you a bimodule that's canonically isomorphic to the original.

This whole thing means that we can form a bicategory whose objects are rings, whose 1-morphisms are bimodules, and whose 2-morphisms are bimodule homomorphisms.
