Hi all,
As very many of us are out of town this week, it doesn't make sense to have
a group meeting.
Next week we'll hear from Tomás Gonda, who is visiting from Perimeter.
Title and abstract are below and in the group calendar.
Best,

Title: Monotones in General Resource Theories
Abstract: A central problem in the study of resource theories is to find
functions that are nonincreasing under resource conversions—termed
monotones—in order to quantify resourcefulness. Various constructions of
monotones appear in many different concrete resource theories. How general
are these constructions? What are the necessary conditions we need in order
to be able to apply them? To answer these questions, we introduce several
general ways to construct monotones and show how standard constructions
arise as special cases of these. These constructions also provide methods
for defining new interesting monotones in any resource theory of interest.
