There Is Only One Notion of Differentiation

Authors: J. Robin B. Cockett and Jean-Simon Lemay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 84, 2nd International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2017)

Abstract
Differential linear logic was introduced as a syntactic proof-theoretic approach to the analysis of differential calculus. Differential categories were subsequently introduce to provide a categorical model theory for differential linear logic. Differential categories used two different approaches for defining differentiation abstractly: a deriving transformation and a coderiliction. While it was thought that these notions could give rise to distinct notions of differentiation, we show here that these notions, in the presence of a monoidal coalgebra modality, are completely equivalent.

Tangent Categories from the Coalgebras of Differential Categories

Authors: Robin Cockett, Jean-Simon Pacaud Lemay, and Rory B. B. Lucyshyn-Wright

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 152, 28th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2020)

Abstract
Following the pattern from linear logic, the coKleisli category of a differential category is a Cartesian differential category. What then is the coEilenberg-Moore category of a differential category? The answer is a tangent category! A key example arises from the opposite of the category of Abelian groups with the free exponential modality. The coEilenberg-Moore category, in this case, is the opposite of the category of commutative rings. That the latter is a tangent category captures a fundamental aspect of both algebraic geometry and Synthetic Differential Geometry. The general result applies when there are no negatives and thus encompasses examples arising from combinatorics and computer science.

Reverse Derivative Categories

Authors: Robin Cockett, Geoffrey Cruttwell, Jonathan Gallagher, Jean-Simon Pacaud Lemay, Benjamin MacAdam, Gordon Plotkin, and Dorette Pronk

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 152, 28th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2020)

Abstract
The reverse derivative is a fundamental operation in machine learning and automatic differentiation [Martín Abadi et al., 2015; Griewank, 2012]. This paper gives a direct axiomatization of a category with a reverse derivative operation, in a similar style to that given by [Blute et al., 2009] for a forward derivative. Intriguingly, a category with a reverse derivative also has a forward derivative, but the converse is not true. In fact, we show explicitly what a forward derivative is missing: a reverse derivative is equivalent to a forward derivative with a dagger structure on its subcategory of linear maps. Furthermore, we show that these linear maps form an additively enriched category with dagger biproducts.

Integral Categories and Calculus Categories

Authors: Robin Cockett and Jean-Simon Lemay

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 82, 26th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2017)

Abstract
Differential categories are now an established abstract setting for differentiation. The paper presents the parallel development for integration by axiomatizing an integral transformation in a symmetric monoidal category with a coalgebra modality. When integration is combined with differentiation, the two fundamental theorems of calculus are expected to hold (in a suitable sense): a differential category with integration which satisfies these two theorem is called a calculus category. Modifying an approach to antiderivatives by T. Ehrhard, it is shown how examples of calculus categories arise as differential categories with antiderivatives in this new sense. Having antiderivatives amounts to demanding that a certain natural transformation K, is invertible. We observe that a differential category having antiderivatives, in this sense, is always a calculus category and we provide examples of such categories.
