چکیده
We revise our ‘Physical Traces’ paper [Abramsky and Coecke CTCS‘02] in the light of the results in [Abramsky and Coecke LiCS‘04]. The key fact is that the notion of a strongly compact closed category allows abstract notions of adjoint, bipartite projector and inner product to be defined, and their key properties to be proved. In this paper we improve on the definition of strong compact closure as compared to the one presented in [Abramsky and Coecke LiCS‘04]. This modification enables an elegant characterization of strong compact closure in terms of adjoints and a Yanking axiom, and a better treatment of bipartite projectors.

متن کاملThe Combinatorics of Traces of Hecke Operators
Abstract. We investigate the combinatorial properties of the traces of the n-th Hecke operators on the spaces of weight 2k cusp forms of level N . We establish examples in which these traces are expressed in terms of classical objects in enumerative combinatorics (e.g. tilings and Motzkin paths). We establish in general that Hecke traces are explicit rational linear combinations of values of Ge...
متن کاملCatalytic Determination of Traces of Tellurium (IV) Using the Reduction of Lauth’s Violet with Sodium Sulfide
A simple, rapid and sensitive method has been developed for determination of traces of tellurium (IV) (7.0-120.0 ng/ml) based on it’s catalytic effect on the reduction reaction of lauth’s violet by sulfide ion at pH 4.2. The reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of lauth’s viole at 600 nm by the fixed time method. The detection limit is 5.0 ng/ml a...
متن کاملPsychicones: Visual Traces of the Soul in Late Nineteenth-Century Fluidic Photography
The article discusses attempts to visualise the soul on photographic plates at the end of the nineteenth century, as conducted by the French physician Hippolyte Baraduc in Paris. Although Baraduc refers to earlier experiments on fluidic photography in his book on The Human Soul (1896) and is usually mentioned as a precursor to parapsychological thought photography of the twentieth century, his ...
متن کاملA Complementary-systems Approach to Abstract and Episodic Speech Perception
Over the past two decades, numerous experiments have shown that spoken word perception creates detailed memory traces, containing not only word meanings, but also extraneous, perceptual or contextual details. This is shown, for example, by voice-specific priming effects. Based on such results, exemplar theories suggest the mental lexicon may consist of accumulated episodic traces. Although an e...
