The catgorical theory of self-similarity.
We add sequential operations to the categorical algebra of weighted and Markov automata introduced in [L. de Francesco Albasini, N. Sabadini and R.F.C. Walters, arXiv:0909.4136]. The extra expressiveness of the algebra permits the description of hierarchical systems, and ones with evolving geometry. We make a comparison with the probabilistic automata of Lynch et al. [SIAM J. Comput. 37 (2007) 977–1013].

We define a linear structure on Grothendieck’s arithmetic fundamental group of a scheme defined over a field of characteristic 0. It allows us to link the existence of sections of the Galois group to with the existence of a neutral fiber functor on the category which linearizes it. We apply the construction to affine curves and neutral fiber functors coming from a tangent vector at a rational point at infinity, in order to follow this rational point in the universal covering of the affine...
