by taking direct products and direct factors. The main tool is the use
of \emph{central elements,} which are a generalization of
both central idempotent elements in rings with identity and neutral

abstract = {  We extend the theory of labeled Markov processes with
\emph{internal} nondeterminism, a fundamental concept for the further
development of a process theory with abstraction on nondeterministic
continuous probabilistic systems.
%
We define \emph{nondeterministic labeled Markov processes (NLMP)}
and provide three definition of bisimulations: a bisimulation
following a traditional characterization, a \emph{state} based
bisimulation tailored to our measurable'' non-determinism, and an
\emph{event} based bisimulation.
%
We show the relation between them, including that the largest state
bisimulation is also an event bisimulation.
%
We also introduce a variation of the Hennessy-Milner logic that
characterizes event bisimulation and that is sound w.r.t.\ the other
bisimulations for arbitrary NLMP.
%
This logic, however, is infinitary as it contains a denumerable
$\bigvee$.
%
We then introduce a finitary sublogic that characterize all
bisimulations for image finite NLMP whose underlying measure space
is also analytic. Hence, in this setting, all notions of
bisimulation we deal with turn out to be equal.
%
Finally, we show that all notions of bisimulations are different in
the general case.  The counterexamples that separate them turn to be
\emph{non-probabilistic} NLMP.},

abstract = {We prove that the relation of bisimilarity between countable labelled transition systems is $\Sigma_1^1$-complete (hence not Borel), by reducing the set of non-wellorders over the natural numbers continuously to it.
This has an impact on the theory of probabilistic and nondeterministic processes over uncountable spaces, since logical characterizations of bisimilarity (as, for instance, those based on the unique structure theorem for analytic spaces) require a countable logic whose formulas have measurable semantics. Our reduction shows that such a logic does not exist in the case of image-infinite processes.},

abstract = {This paper investigates stochastic nondeterminism on continuous state spaces by relating nondeterministic kernels and stochastic effectivity functions to each other. Nondeterministic kernels are functions assigning each state a set o subprobability measures, and effectivity functions assign to each state an upper-closed set of subsets of measures. Both concepts are generalizations of Markov kernels used for defining two different models: Nondeterministic labelled Markov processes and stochastic game models, respectively. We show that an effectivity function that maps into principal filters is given by an image-countable nondeterministic kernel, and that image-finite kernels give rise to effectivity functions. We define state bisimilarity for the latter, considering its connection to morphisms. We provide a logical characterization of bisimilarity in the finitary case. A generalization of congruences (event bisimulations) to effectivity functions and its relation to the categorical presentation of bisimulation are also studied.}

abstract = {A  \emph{labelled Markov process (LMP)} consists of a measurable
space $S$ together with an indexed family of Markov kernels from $S$
to itself. This structure has been used to model probabilistic
computations in  Computer Science, and one of the main problems in
the area is to define and decide whether two LMP $S$ and $S'$ behave
the   same''. There are two natural categorical definitions of
sameness of behavior: $S$  and $S'$  are \emph{bisimilar}
if there exist  an LMP  $T$ and measure preserving maps
forming a diagram of the shape
$S\leftarrow T \rightarrow{S'}$; and  they
are \emph{behaviorally equivalent}
if there exist  some $U$ and  maps forming a dual  diagram
$S\rightarrow U \leftarrow{S'}$.

These two notions differ for general measurable spaces but Edalat
proved that they coincide for analytic Borel spaces, showing that
from every
diagram  $S\rightarrow U \leftarrow{S'}$ one can obtain a
bisimilarity diagram as above. Moreover, the resulting square of
measure preserving maps is commutative (a \emph{semipullback}).

In this paper, we extend Edalat's result to measurable spaces $S$
isomorphic to a  universally measurable subset of
a Polish space with the trace of the Borel  $\sigma$-algebra, using a
version of Strassen's theorem on
common extensions of finitely additive measures.}

abstract = {There exist two notions of equivalence of behavior between states of a
Labelled Markov Process (LMP): state bisimilarity and event bisimilarity. The
first one can be considered as an appropriate generalization to continuous
spaces of Larsen and Skou's probabilistic bisimilarity, while the second one is
characterized by a natural logic. C. Zhou expressed state bisimilarity as the
greatest fixed point of an operator $\mathcal{O}$, and thus introduced an
ordinal measure of the discrepancy between it and event bisimilarity. We call
this ordinal the "Zhou ordinal" of $\mathbb{S}$, $\mathfrak{Z}(\mathbb{S})$.
When $\mathfrak{Z}(\mathbb{S})=0$, $\mathbb{S}$ satisfies the Hennessy-Milner
property. The second author proved the existence of an LMP $\mathbb{S}$ with
$\mathfrak{Z}(\mathbb{S}) \geq 1$ and Zhou showed that there are LMPs having an
infinite Zhou ordinal. In this paper we show that there are LMPs $\mathbb{S}$
over separable metrizable spaces having arbitrary large countable
$\mathfrak{Z}(\mathbb{S})$ and that it is consistent with the axioms of
$\mathit{ZFC}$ that there is such a process with an uncountable Zhou ordinal.}
