Molecular sets and representations of chemical reactions[edit | edit source]

A uni-molecular chemical reaction is represented by the natural transformations , through the following commutative diagram:

Failed to parse (unknown function "\def"): {\displaystyle \def\labelstyle{\textstyle} \xymatrix@M=0.1pc @=4pc{h^A(A) = Hom(A,A) \ar[r]^{\eta_{A}} \ar[d]_{h^A(t)} & h^B (A) = Hom(B,A)\ar[d]^{h^B (t)} \\ {h^A (B) = Hom(A,B)} \ar[r]_{\eta_{B}} & {h^B (B) = Hom(B,B)}} }

with the states of molecular sets and being represented by certain endomorphisms in and , respectively. In general, molecular sets are defined as finite sets whose elements are molecules defined in terms of their molecular observables that are specified next. One need to define first the concept of a molecular class variable. A molecular class variable , or is defined as a family of molecular sets with being an indexing set, or class, defining the molecular range of variation of the . Most applications in Physics, Chemistry or Biochemistry require that is a finite set, (that is, without any sub-classes). A homomorphism of molecular sets , with being real time values, is defined as a time-dependent mapping or function also called a molecular transformation .

An observable of , characterizing the products of chemical type "B" of a chemical reaction is defined as a morphism:

where is the set or field of real numbers. This mcv-observable is subject to the following commutativity conditions:

with , and , being, respectively, specially prepared fields of states of the molecular sets , and within a measurement uncertainty range, , which is determined by Heisenberg's uncertainty relation, or the commutator of the observable operators involved, such as , associated with the observable of molecular set , and respectively, with the obssevable of molecular set , in the case of a molecular set interacting with molecular set .

With these concepts and preliminary data one can now define the category of molecular sets and their transformations as follows.

Category of molecular sets and their transformations[edit | edit source]

The category of molecular sets is defined as the category whose objects are molecular sets and whose morphisms are molecular transformations .

This is a mathematical representation of chemical reaction systems in terms of molecular sets that vary with time (or 's), and their transformations as a result of diffusion, collisions, and chemical reactions.
