ACompleteAxiomatisation of Partial Differentiation Gordon Plotkin ACTSeminar,May2020 Cartesian differential categories Thegoalofthepresentpaperistodevelopanaxioma- tization which directly characterizes the smooth maps: in other words, to characterize the coKleisli structure of differential categories directly. This leads us to the notion of a Cartesian differential category. This notion embodies the multi-variable differential calculus which, being a fundamental tool of modern mathematics, is well worth studying in its own right. Blute, Cockett & Seely, Cartesian differential categories, 2009 Left additive cartesian categories Eachhomsetisacommutativemonoid. Composition is left additive: 0f = 0 (f + g)h = fh + gh Amorphismf is additive iff f- (ie right composition with f) is additive. Theproduct structure is compatible: Theprojections x ←x×y →y are additive Tupling preserves additivity: f : x → y,g : x → z additive hf,gi : x → y ×z additive Example: Finite powers of R and smooth maps Thegradient ∇(f):Rn → Rn of a smooth map f(x ,:::,xn) of n-arguments is 1 ∇(f)(v) = h ∂f (v),:::, ∂f (v)i ∂x ∂x 1 n Thedifferential D[f]:Rn ×Rn → Rm of a smooth map n m f :R →R =hf ,:::,f i 1 m is T D[f](v,w) = h∇(f )(v)·w,:::,∇[f ](v)·wi (= J(f)(v)w ) 1 n
