Barendregt’s Theory of the λ-Calculus, Refreshed and Formalized

Authors: Adrienne Lancelot, Beniamino Accattoli, and Maxime Vemclefs

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
Barendregt’s book on the untyped λ-calculus refines the inconsistent view of β-divergence as representation of the undefined via the key concept of head reduction. In this paper, we put together recent revisitations of some key theorems laid out in Barendregt’s book, and we formalize them in the Abella proof assistant. Our work provides a compact and refreshed presentation of the core of the book. The formalization faithfully mimics pen-and-paper proofs. Two interesting aspects are the manipulation of contexts for the study of contextual equivalence and a formal alternative to the informal trick at work in Takahashi’s proof of the genericity lemma. As a by-product, we obtain an alternative definition of contextual equivalence that does not mention contexts.

Animating MRBNFs: Truly Modular Binding-Aware Datatypes in Isabelle/HOL

Authors: Jan van Brügge, Andrei Popescu, and Dmitriy Traytel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
Nominal Isabelle provides powerful tools for meta-theoretic reasoning about syntax of logics or programming languages, in which variables are bound. It has been instrumental to major verification successes, such as Gödel’s incompleteness theorems. However, the existing tooling is not compositional. In particular, it does not support nested recursion, linear binding patterns, or infinitely branching syntax. These limitations are fundamental in the way nominal datatypes and functions on them are constructed within Nominal Isabelle. Taking advantage of recent theoretical advancements that overcome these limitations through a modular approach using the concept of map-restricted bounded natural functor (MRBNF), we develop and implement a new definitional package for binding-aware datatypes in Isabelle/HOL, called MrBNF. We describe the journey from the user specification to the end-product types, constants and theorems the tool generates. We validate MrBNF in two formalization case studies that so far were out of reach of nominal approaches: (1) Mazza’s isomorphism between the finitary and the infinitary affine λ-calculus, and (2) the POPLmark 2B challenge, which involves non-free binders for linear pattern matching.

Open Bisimilarity for the π-Calculus with Mismatch

Authors: Tiange Liu, Alwen Tiu, and Ross Horne

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
Open bisimilarity is an equivalence relation for the π-calculus that is also congruence, making it suitable to use in compositional reasoning for mobile processes and communication protocols. The original definition of open bisimilarity, due to Sangiorgi, does not account for the mismatch operator, that is crucial in modelling real-world protocols. When mismatch is present, the congruence property no longer holds for open bisimilarity. In a LICS 2018 paper, Horne et al. proposed an extension of open bisimilarity, using a history-indexed class of relations, to address this problem. That definition, however, turns out to be non-compositional as we shall demonstrate in this paper. This paper presents a new definition of open bisimilarity in the π-calculus that incorporates mismatch. This is achieved by augmenting the transition semantics of the π-calculus with an explicit assumption about name distinctions, and by requiring that open bisimulation to be closed under an arbitary extension of the name distinctions assumption. We then prove that the resulting open bisimilarity is both an equivalence relation and a congruence.

Positive and Monotone Fragments of FO and LTL

Authors: Simon Iosti, Denis Kuperberg, and Quentin Moreau

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract
We study the positive logic FO^+ on finite words, and its fragments, pursuing and refining the work initiated in [Denis Kuperberg, 2023]. First, we transpose notorious logic equivalences into positive first-order logic: FO^+ is equivalent to LTL^+, and its two-variable fragment FO^{2+} with (resp. without) successor available is equivalent to UTL^+ with (resp. without) the "next" operator X available. This shows that despite previous negative results, the class of FO^+-definable languages exhibits some form of robustness. We then exhibit an example of an FO-definable monotone language on one predicate, that is not FO^+-definable, refining the example from [Denis Kuperberg, 2023] with 3 predicates. Moreover, we show that such a counter-example cannot be FO²-definable. Finally, we provide a new example distinguishing the positive and monotone versions of FO² without quantifier alternation. This does not rely on a variant of the previously known counter-example, and witnesses a new phenomenon.

Fair Termination of Asynchronous Binary Sessions

Authors: Luca Padovani and Gianluigi Zavattaro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
We study a theory of asynchronous session types ensuring that well-typed processes terminate under a suitable fairness assumption. Fair termination entails starvation freedom and orphan message freedom namely that all messages, including those that are produced early taking advantage of asynchrony, are eventually consumed. The theory is based on a novel fair asynchronous subtyping relation for session types that is coarser than the existing ones. The type system is also the first of its kind that is firmly rooted in linear logic: fair asynchronous subtyping is incorporated as a natural generalization of the cut and axiom rules of linear logic and asynchronous communication is modeled through a suitable set of commuting conversions and of deep cut reductions in linear logic proofs.

Propositional Logics of Overwhelming Truth

Authors: Thibaut Antoine and David Baelde

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 326, 33rd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2025)

Abstract
Cryptographers consider that asymptotic security holds when, for any possible attacker running in polynomial time, the probability that the attack succeeds is negligible, i.e. that it tends fast enough to zero with the size of secrets. In order to reason formally about cryptographic truth, one may thus consider logics where a formula is satisfied when it is true with overwhelming probability, i.e. a probability that tends fast enough to one with the size of secrets. In such logics it is not always the case that either ϕ or ⌝ϕ is satisfied by a given model. However, security analyses will inevitably involve specific formulas, which we call determined, satisfying this property - typically because they are not probabilistic. The Squirrel proof assistant, which implements a logic of overwhelming truth, features ad-hoc proof rules for this purpose. In this paper, we study several propositional logics whose semantics rely on overwhelming truth. We first consider a modal logic of overwhelming truth, and show that it coincides with S5. In addition to providing an axiomatization, this brings a well-behaved proof system for our logic in the form of Poggiolesi’s hypersequent calculus. Further, we show that this system can be adapted to elegantly incorporate reasoning on determined atoms. We then consider a logic that is closer to Squirrel’s language, where the overwhelming truth modality cannot be nested. In that case, we show that a simple proof system, based on regular sequents, is sound and complete. This result justifies the core of Squirrel’s proof system.

A Hypersequent Calculus with Clusters for Tense Logic over Ordinals

Authors: David Baelde, Anthony Lick, and Sylvain Schmitz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 122, 38th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2018)

Abstract
Prior's tense logic forms the core of linear temporal logic, with both past- and future-looking modalities. We present a sound and complete proof system for tense logic over ordinals. Technically, this is a hypersequent system, enriched with an ordering, clusters, and annotations. The system is designed with proof search algorithms in mind, and yields an optimal coNP complexity for the validity problem. It entails a small model property for tense logic over ordinals: every satisfiable formula has a model of order type at most omega^2. It also allows to answer the validity problem for ordinals below or exactly equal to a given one.

A Sequent Calculus for a Modal Logic on Finite Data Trees

Authors: David Baelde, Simon Lunel, and Sylvain Schmitz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 62, 25th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2016)

Abstract
We investigate the proof theory of a modal fragment of XPath equipped with data (in)equality tests over finite data trees, i.e., over finite unranked trees where nodes are labelled with both a symbol from a finite alphabet and a single data value from an infinite domain. We present a sound and complete sequent calculus for this logic, which yields the optimal PSPACE complexity bound for its validity problem.

Infinitary Proof Theory: the Multiplicative Additive Case

Authors: David Baelde, Amina Doumane, and Alexis Saurin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 62, 25th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2016)

Abstract
Infinitary and regular proofs are commonly used in fixed point logics. Being natural intermediate devices between semantics and traditional finitary proof systems, they are commonly found in completeness arguments, automated deduction, verification, etc. However, their proof theory is surprisingly underdeveloped. In particular, very little is known about the computational behavior of such proofs through cut elimination. Taking such aspects into account has unlocked rich developments at the intersection of proof theory and programming language theory. One would hope that extending this to infinitary calculi would lead, e.g., to a better understanding of recursion and corecursion in programming languages. Structural proof theory is notably based on two fundamental properties of a proof system: cut elimination and focalization. The first one is only known to hold for restricted (purely additive) infinitary calculi, thanks to the work of Santocanale and Fortier; the second one has never been studied in infinitary systems. In this paper, we consider the infinitary proof system muMALLi for multiplicative and additive linear logic extended with least and greatest fixed points, and prove these two key results. We thus establish muMALLi as a satisfying computational proof system in itself, rather than just an intermediate device in the study of finitary proof systems.

Least and Greatest Fixed Points in Ludics

Authors: David Baelde, Amina Doumane, and Alexis Saurin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 41, 24th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2015)

Abstract
Various logics have been introduced in order to reason over (co)inductive specifications and, through the Curry-Howard correspondence, to study computation over inductive and coinductive data. The logic mu-MALL is one of those logics, extending multiplicative and additive linear logic with least and greatest fixed point operators. In this paper, we investigate the semantics of mu-MALL proofs in (computational) ludics. This framework is built around the notion of design, which can be seen as an analogue of the strategies of game semantics. The infinitary nature of designs makes them particularly well suited for representing computations over infinite data. We provide mu-MALL with a denotational semantics, interpreting proofs by designs and formulas by particular sets of designs called behaviours. Then we prove a completeness result for the class of "essentially finite designs", which are those designs performing a finite computation followed by a copycat. On the way to completeness, we investigate semantic inclusion, proving its decidability (given two formulas, we can decide whether the semantics of one is included in the other's) and completeness (if semantic inclusion holds, the corresponding implication is provable in mu-MALL).

Partial Order Reduction for Security Protocols

Authors: David Baelde, Stéphanie Delaune, and Lucca Hirschi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 42, 26th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2015)

Abstract
Security protocols are concurrent processes that communicate using cryptography with the aim of achieving various security properties. Recent work on their formal verification has brought procedures and tools for deciding trace equivalence properties (e.g. anonymity, unlinkability, vote secrecy) for a bounded number of sessions. However, these procedures are based on a naive symbolic exploration of all traces of the considered processes which, unsurprisingly, greatly limits the scalability and practical impact of the verification tools. In this paper, we mitigate this difficulty by developing partial order reduction techniques for the verification of security protocols. We provide reduced transition systems that optimally eliminate redundant traces, and which are adequate for model-checking trace equivalence properties of protocols by means of symbolic execution. We have implemented our reductions in the tool Apte, and demonstrated that it achieves the expected speedup on various protocols.
