This paper introduces a temporal logic for coalgebras. Nexttime and lasttime operators are dened for a coalgebra, acting on predicates on the state space. They give rise to what is called a Galois algebra. Galois algebras form models of temporal logics like Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) and Computation Tree Logic (CTL). The mapping from coalgebras to Galois algebras turns out to be functorial, yielding indexed categorical structures. This gives many examples, for coalgebras of polynomial functors on sets. Additionally, it will be shown how \fuzzy" predicates on metric spaces, and predicates on presheaves, yield indexed Galois algebras, in basically the same coalgebraic manner.

this paper, we give an abstract 2 categorical characterization of W-types. We calculate these W-types explicitly in some categories of presheaves and sheaves on a site, and in the gluing category or Freyd cover. (We also have an explicit description in the case of Hyland's realizability topos, which will be presented in [17].) These explicit calculations can be formalized in a weak predicative metatheory, and lead to the result that if E is any suitably filtered pretopos with dependent products and W-types, then so is the category of internal sheaves on a site in E (Remark 5.9). Our paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we review some standard definitions concerning pretoposes and dependent products. In Section 3 we present the categorical definition of the W-construction, and in Section 4 we prove some of its basic functoriality properties; e.g., that it turns coequalizers into equalizers. In Section 5, a construction is presented which to each map between (pre)sheaves of sets associates a sheaf of wellfounded trees, and it is proved that this is in fact the W-type in the category (pre)sheaves of sets (Theorem 5.6). In Section 6, we discuss the W-construction for the Freyd cover. Finally, in Section 7 it is shown how these categorical constructions are not only analogous to but explicitly related to Martin-Lof type theory. 2 Pretoposes and dependent products

Abstract. We introduce the notion of containers as a mathematical formalisation of the idea that many important datatypes consist of templates where data is stored. We show that containers have good closure properties under a variety of constructions including the formation of initial algebras and final coalgebras. We also show that containers include strictly positive types and shapely types but that there are containers which do not correspond to either of these. Further, we derive a representation result classifying the nature of polymorphic functions between containers. We finish this paper with an application to the theory of shapely types and refer to a forthcoming paper which applies this theory to differentiable types. 1

It is well known that one can build models of full higher-order dependent type theory (also called the calculus of constructions) using partial equivalence relations (PERs) and assemblies over a partial combinatory algebra (PCA). But the idea of categories of PERs and ERs (total equivalence relations) can be applied to other structures as well. In particular, we can easily dene the category of ERs and equivalencepreserving continuous mappings over the standard category Top 0 of topological T 0 -spaces; we call these spaces (a topological space together with an ER) equilogical spaces and the resulting category Equ. We show that this category|in contradistinction to Top 0 |is a cartesian closed category. The direct proof outlined here uses the equivalence of the category Equ to the category PEqu of PERs over algebraic lattices (a full subcategory of Top 0 that is well known to be cartesian closed from domain theory). In another paper with Carboni and Rosolini (cited herein) a more abstract categorical generalization shows why many such categories are cartesian closed. The category Equ obviously contains Top 0 as a full subcategory, and it naturally contains many other well known subcategories. In particular, we show why, as a consequence of work of Ershov, Berger, and others, the Kleene-Kreisel hierarchy of countable functionals of nite types can be naturally constructed in Equ from the natural numbers object N by repeated use in Equ of exponentiation and binary products. We also develop for Equ notions of modest sets (a category equivalent to Equ) and assemblies to explain why a model of dependent type theory is obtained. We make some comparisons of this model to other, known models. 1

This thesis considers the problem of program correctness within a rich theory of dependent types, the Extended Calculus of Constructions (ECC). This system contains a powerful programming language of higher-order primitive recursion and higher-order intuitionistic logic. It is supported by Pollack's versatile LEGO implementation, which I use extensively to develop the mathematical constructions studied here. I systematically investigate Burstall's notion of deliverable, that is, a program paired with a proof of correctness. This approach separates the concerns of programming and logic, since I want a simple program extraction mechanism. The \Sigma-types of the calculus enable us to achieve this. There are many similarities with the subset interpretation of Martin-Lof type theory. I show that deliverables have a rich categorical structure, so that correctness proofs may be decomposed in a principled way. The categorical combinators which I define in the system package up much logical bo...

The original aim of this paper was to give a rather quick and undemanding proof that the effective topos contains two non-trivial small (i.e. internal) full subcategories which are closed under all small limits in the topos (and hence in particular are internally complete). The interest in such subcategories arises from

Scott 2z 1 Department of Philosophy, Carnegie Mellon University 2 School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University April 15, 1999 Abstract This work is a step toward developing a logic for types and computation that includes both the usual spaces of mathematics and constructions and spaces from logic and domain theory. Using realizability, we investigate a configuration of three toposes, which we regard as describing a notion of relative computability. Attention is focussed on a certain local map of toposes, which we study first axiomatically, and then by deriving a modal calculus as its internal logic. The resulting framework is intended as a setting for the logical and categorical study of relative computability. 1 Introduction We report here on the current status of research on the Logic of Types and Computation at Carnegie Mellon University [SAB + ]. The general goal of this research program is to develop a logical fra...
