Knowledge and Simplicial Complexes

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Simplicial complexes are a versatile and convenient paradigm on which to build all the tools and techniques of the logic of knowledge, on the assumption that initial epistemic models can be described in a distributed fashion. Thus, we can define: knowledge, belief, bisimulation, the group notions of mutual, distributed and common knowledge, and also dynamics in the shape of simplicial action models. We give a survey on how to interpret all such notions on simplicial complexes, building upon the foundations laid in Goubault et al. (Inf Comput 278:104597, 2021).
