Categorial Geometry and Algebraic Topology

Abstract

In Categorial Topology, given a category (as a "geometric object") we can consider its properties preserved under continuous action (a "deformation") of a comma-propagation operation. However, the Metacategory space, valid for all categories, cannot be defined by using well-know Grothendeick's approach with discrete ringed spaces. So, we can consider any category C as an abstract geometric object, that is, a discrete space where the points are the objects of this category and arrows between objects as the oriented paths. Based on this approach, we define the Cat-arrows space V valid for all categories with commutative (and associative) partial addition operation for the vectors, and their inner product. For the categories where we define the norm ("length") of the vectors in V we can define also the outer (wedge) product of the vectors in V and we show that such Cat-algebra satisfies two fundamental properties of the Clifford geometric algebra.
