A '''dagger symmetric monoidal category''' is a [[monoidal category]] <math>\langle\mathbb{C},\otimes, I\rangle</math> which also possesses a [[dagger category|dagger structure]]; in other words, it means that this category comes equipped not only with a [[monoidal category|tensor]] in the [[category theory|category theoretic]] sense but also with [[dagger category|dagger structure]] which is used to describe [[unitary operator|unitary morphism]] and [[self-adjoint|self-adjoint morphisms]] in <math>\mathbb{C}</math> that is, a form of abstract analogues of those found in '''FdHilb''', the [[category of finite dimensional Hilbert spaces]]. This type of [[category (mathematics)|category]] was introduced by Selinger<ref>P. Selinger, ''[http://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/papers.html#dagger  Dagger compact closed categories and completely positive maps]'', Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Quantum Programming Languages, Chicago, June 30 - July 1, 2005.</ref> as an intermediate structure between [[dagger category|dagger categories]] and the [[dagger compact category|dagger compact categories]] that are used in [[categorical quantum mechanics]], an area which now also considers dagger symmetric monoidal categories when dealing with infinite dimensional [[quantum mechanical]] concepts.

==Formal definition==
 
A '''dagger symmetric monoidal category''' is a [[symmetric monoidal category]] <math>\mathbb{C}</math> which also has a [[dagger category|dagger structure]] such that for all <math>f:A\rightarrow B </math>, <math>g:C\rightarrow D </math> and all <math> A,B</math> and <math> C</math> in <math>Ob(\mathbb{C})</math>,
*<math> (f\otimes g)^\dagger=f^\dagger\otimes g^\dagger:B\otimes D\rightarrow A\otimes C </math>;
*<math> \alpha^\dagger_{A,B,C}=\alpha^{-1}_{A,B,C}:(A\otimes B)\otimes C\rightarrow A\otimes (B\otimes C)</math>;
*<math> \rho^\dagger_A=\rho^{-1}_A:A \rightarrow A \otimes I</math>;
*<math> \lambda^\dagger_A=\lambda^{-1}_A: A \rightarrow I \otimes A</math> and
*<math> \sigma^\dagger_{A,B}=\sigma^{-1}_{A,B}:B \otimes A \rightarrow A \otimes B</math>.
Here, <math>\alpha,\lambda,\rho</math> and <math>\sigma</math> are the [[natural isomorphism]]s that form the [[symmetric monoidal category|symmetric monoidal structure]].
 
==Examples==
 
The following [[category (mathematics)|categories]] are examples of dagger symmetric monoidal categories:
 
* The [[category (mathematics)|category]] '''Rel''' of [[Category of relations|sets and relations]] where the tensor is given by the [[Product (category theory)|product]] and where the dagger of a relation is given by its relational converse.
* The [[category (mathematics)|category]] '''FdHilb''' of [[Category of finite dimensional Hilbert spaces|finite dimensional Hilbert spaces]] is a dagger symmetric monoidal category where the tensor is the usual [[tensor product]] of Hilbert spaces and where the dagger of a [[linear map]] is given by its [[hermitian adjoint]].  
 
A dagger-symmetric category which is also [[compact closed category|compact closed]] is a [[dagger compact category]]; both of the above examples are in fact dagger compact.

Hi there. Allow me start by introducing the writer, her title is Sophia Boon but she by no means really favored that title. My husband doesn't like it the way I do but what I truly like doing is caving but I don't have the time lately. Credit authorising is how she tends to make best psychic readings (http://www.familysurvivalgroup.com/) a residing. Alaska is the only location I've been residing in but now I'm contemplating other options.
