Abstract
To give denotational semantics to untyped programming languages (e.g., the untyped lambda calculus), and to recursive datatypes, semanticists solve recursive domain equations. We will review Freyd’s algebraically compact categories, where such solutions are guaranteed to exist as fixed-points of (mixed-variance) bifunctors. We will then review a class of algebraically compact categories arising through the work of Smyth and Plotkin on recursive domain equations in omega-chain complete enriched categories.
