This monograph introduces involutive categories and involutive
operads, featuring applications to the GNS construction and
algebraic quantum field theory. The author adopts an accessible
approach for readers seeking an overview of involutive category
theory, from the basics to cutting-edge applications. Additionally,
the author's own recent advances in the area are featured, never
having appeared previously in the literature. The opening chapters
offer an introduction to basic category theory, ideal for readers
new to the area. Chapters three through five feature previously
unpublished results on coherence and strictification of involutive
categories and involutive monoidal categories, showcasing the
author's state-of-the-art research. Chapters on coherence of
involutive symmetric monoidal categories, and categorical GNS
construction follow. The last chapter covers involutive operads and
lays important coherence foundations for applications to algebraic
quantum field theory. With detailed explanations and exercises
throughout, Involutive Category Theory is suitable for graduate
seminars and independent study. Mathematicians and mathematical
physicists who use involutive objects will also find this a
valuable reference.
