Software for the Thompson and Funk Polygonal Geometry (Media Exposition)

Authors: Hridhaan Banerjee, Carmen Isabel Day, Auguste H. Gezalyan, Olga Golovatskaia, Megan Hunleth, Sarah Hwang, Nithin Parepally, Lucy Wang, and David M. Mount

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 332, 41st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2025)

Abstract
Metric spaces defined within convex polygons, such as the Thompson, Funk, reverse Funk, and Hilbert metrics, are subjects of recent exploration and study in computational geometry. This paper contributes an educational piece of software for understanding these unique geometries while also providing a tool to support their research. We provide dynamic software for manipulating the Funk, reverse Funk, and Thompson balls in convex polygonal domains. Additionally, we provide a visualization program for traversing the Hilbert polygonal geometry.

Commutation Groups and State-Independent Contextuality

Authors: Samson Abramsky, Şerban-Ion Cercelescu, and Carmen-Maria Constantin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)

Abstract
We introduce an algebraic structure for studying state-independent contextuality arguments, a key form of quantum non-classicality exemplified by the well-known Peres-Mermin magic square, and used as a source of quantum advantage. We introduce commutation groups presented by generators and relations, and analyse them in terms of a string rewriting system. There is also a linear algebraic construction, a directed version of the Heisenberg group. We introduce contextual words as a general form of contextuality witness. We characterise when contextual words can arise in commutation groups, and explicitly construct non-contextual value assignments in other cases. We give unitary representations of commutation groups as subgroups of generalized Pauli n-groups.

Localisable Monads

Authors: Carmen Constantin, Nuiok Dicaire, and Chris Heunen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 216, 30th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2022)

Abstract
Monads govern computational side-effects in programming semantics. A collection of monads can be combined together in a local-to-global way to handle several instances of such effects. Indexed monads and graded monads do this in a modular way. Here, instead, we start with a single monad and equip it with a fine-grained structure by using techniques from tensor topology. This provides an intrinsic theory of local computational effects without needing to know how constituent effects interact beforehand. Specifically, any monoidal category decomposes as a sheaf of local categories over a base space. We identify a notion of localisable monads which characterises when a monad decomposes as a sheaf of monads. Equivalently, localisable monads are formal monads in an appropriate presheaf 2-category, whose algebras we characterise. Three extended examples demonstrate how localisable monads can interpret the base space as locations in a computer memory, as sites in a network of interacting agents acting concurrently, and as time in stochastic processes.
