Title: Synthetic probability theory
Speaker: Alex Simpson
Chair: Arthur Parzygnat
Date: June 8, 2020
Abstract:
I shall outline an alternative to the standard set-theoretic formulation of probability theory, based on a category-theory-influenced axiomatisation of the notion of "random variable" as a primitive concept. The axioms capture desirable properties of random variables, not all of which apply to random variables as usually defined. They are designed to support a streamlined development of probability theory, in which sample spaces play no role and one (almost) never needs to consider sigma-algebras and associated notions of measurability.
