A Story of Integral Categories

We are trying to get the dual story of integration, in the context of antiderivatives and which give fundamental theorems of calculus:

Tangent Categories

A tangent category is a category X equipped with: A functor T : X → X called the tangent functor; A natural transformation p : T(M) → M; A natural transformation ℓ : T(M) → T2(M) called the vertical lift; A natural transformation c : T2(M) → T2(M) called the canonical flip. such that: p : T(M) → M is a commutative monoid in X/M where the addition + : T2(M) → T(M) (where T2(M) is the pullback of p along itself) and the unit 0 : M → T(M) are natural transformations; Various other properties of and coherences between T, p, ℓ, c, +, 0.

A cartesian tangent category is a tangent category with finite products which are preserved by the tangent funtor: T(A × B) ∼ = T(A) × T(B) Cartesian tangent categories have a natural strength map θ : C × T(A) → T(C × A) defined as: C × T(A)

0×1 T(C) × T(A) ∼

= T(C × A)

Examples of Tangent Categories

Example

Every category (with finite products) is a (cartesian) tangent category where the tangent functor is the identity functor; The category of finite-dimensional smooth manifolds is a cartesian tangent category where for a manifold M, T(M) is its tangent bundle; A model of SDG with an object of infinitesimals D, the category of microlinear

  • bjects is a cartesian tangent category with T(M) = MD;

Differential Objects

In a cartesian tangent category, a differential object is a commutative monoid (A, σ : A × A → A, z : 1 → A) equipped with a map: ˆ p : T(A) → A such that: A T(A)

ˆ p

  • p
  • A is a product diagram, so in particular T(A) ∼

= A × A; Various coherences between σ, z and ˆ p with the tangent structure.

Example

Differential objects for the category of smooth manifolds are the cartesian spaces Rn: T(Rn) = Rn × Rn

Integration for Cartesian Tangent Categories

A cartesian tangent category has integration for a class of objects I which is: Closed under the tangent functor, i.e, if M ∈ I then T(M) ∈ I; Closed under product, i.e, if M, N ∈ I then M × N ∈ I; Contains the differential objects.

Axiom: Rota-Baxter Rule

In classical calculus, the Rota-Baxter rule 2 is integration by parts without derivatives: (

  • f dx) · (
  • g dx) =
  • (
  • f du) · g dx +
  • f · (
  • g du) dx

Expressing this in tangent categories is a little tricky and messy...

Example 2: Integration on Star-Shaped Open Subsets

Define the cartesian tangent category of real open subsets as follows: The objects are open subsets of Rn: (U ⊆ Rn); The maps are smooth functions between open subsets; Identity, composition and products are standard; The tangent functor on objects given: T(U ⊆ Rn) = (U × Rn ⊆ Rn × Rn) While on maps gives: T(f ) : T(U ⊆ Rn) → T(V ⊆ Rm) (u, v) → (f (u), D[f ](u, v)) where D[f ](u, v) is the directional derivative of f at point u in direction v. The differential objects are the cartesian spaces (Rn ⊆ Rn)

Example 2: Integration on Star-Shaped Open Subsets

Define the cartesian tangent category of real open subsets as follows: The objects are open subsets of Rn: (U ⊆ Rn); The maps are smooth functions between open subsets; Identity, composition and products are standard; The tangent functor on objects given: T(U ⊆ Rn) = (U × Rn ⊆ Rn × Rn) While on maps gives: T(f ) : T(U ⊆ Rn) → T(V ⊆ Rm) (u, v) → (f (u), D[f ](u, v)) where D[f ](u, v) is the directional derivative of f at point u in direction v. The differential objects are the cartesian spaces (Rn ⊆ Rn)

Example

Define the class of objects I of star-shaped at 0 open subsets: U ∈ I ⇔ ∀u ∈ U, ∀t ∈ [0, 1]. tu ∈ U

Example: Integration on Star-Shaped Open Subsets

A bundle morphism: C × T(U ⊆ Rn)

1×p

  • π0g,f

T(V ⊆ Rm)

p

  • C × (U ⊆ Rn)

g

(V ⊆ Rm)

is linear in context if there exists a smooth map F : C × U → Rn such that: f (c, u, v) = F(c, u) · v

Example: Integration on Star-Shaped Open Subsets

A bundle morphism: C × T(U ⊆ Rn)

1×p

  • π0g,f

T(V ⊆ Rm)

p

  • C × (U ⊆ Rn)

g

(V ⊆ Rm)

is linear in context if there exists a smooth map F : C × U → Rn such that: f (c, u, v) = F(c, u) · v

Example

Suppose U ∈ I, star-shaped at 0, then the integral is defined as: SU[π0g, f , g] : C × T(U ⊆ Rn) → T(V ⊆ Rm) (c, u) → (g(u), 1 F(c, tu) · u dt) This is the line integral of F over the straight line path between 0 and u. This example extends to the category of finite-dimensional smooth manifolds.

Concluding Discussion

This is NOT the end of the story:

This captures line integration of 1-forms for a specific path and specific manifolds; This set-up extends to integrating n-forms.

However the notion of line integration works for arbitrary manifolds and arbitrary smooth paths...

Can we move away from starting our paths at 0? Can we work with any path? Can we expand our class of objects to the entire category?
