Example of Categories in Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity


Next: Categories in Quantum Mechanics Up: Category Previous: Elements and their relations

In this section I will delineate three different categories that arise in Quantum Mechanics namely the category $ \mathcal{O}$ [2] [3] of self adjoint operators, the category $ \mathcal{W}$ [2] [3] of Boolean subalgebras of the lattice $ P(\mathcal{H})$ and the category Hilb [1] of Hilbert spaces. I will then analyze The category nCob [1] which arise in General relativity and the relation between Hilb and nCob [1].
