Abstract:
While probability theory is traditionally based on measure theory and Kolmogorov's axioms as a foundation, the recently proposed
formalism of Markov categories constitutes a potential alternative approach in which a (modest) number of classical theorems of probability
and statistics have already been reproduced and generalized. In this talk, I will introduce this approach and illustrate its utility by
providing a statement and proof of the classical de Finetti theorem in entirely abstract categorical terms without measure theory. Based on
joint work with Tomáš Gonda, Paolo Perrone and Eigil Rischel.

We open ZOOM at 11.30 and close at 13.00.
