Environmental Bisimulations for Higher-Order Languages
Developing a theory of bisimulation in higher-order languages can be hard. Particularly challenging can be: (1) the proof of congruence, as well as enhancements of the bisimulatio...

Strong Normalization as Safe Interaction
When enriching the λ-calculus with rewriting, union types may be needed to type all strongly normalizing terms. However, with rewriting, the elimination rule (∨ E) of union typ...

Static Name Control for FreshML
FreshML extends ML with constructs for declaring and ting abstract syntax trees that involve names and statically scoped binders. It is impure: name generation is an observable si...

Separating DAG-Like and Tree-Like Proof Systems
We show that tree-like (Gentzen’s calculus) PK where all cut formulas have depth at most a constant d does not simulate cut-free PK. Generally, we exhibit a family of sequents t...

A Contraction Method to Decide MSO Theories of Deterministic Trees
In this paper we generalize the contraction method, originally proposed by Elgot and Rabin and later extended by Carton and Thomas, from labeled linear orderings to colored determ...

Relational Parametricity for Computational Effects
According to Strachey, a polymorphic program is parametric if it applies a uniform algorithm independently of the type instantiations at which it is applied. The notion of relatio...

A Dependent Set Theory
Set theories are traditionally based on first-order logic. We show that in a constructive setting, basing a set theory on a dependent logic yields many benefits. To this end, we...

Resource modalities in game semantics
The description of resources in game semantics has never achieved the simplicity and precision of linear logic, because of a misleading conception: the belief that linear logic is...
