Interpreting Lambda Calculus in Domain-Valued Random Variables

Authors: Robert Furber, Radu Mardare, Prakash Panangaden, and Dana Scott

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 363, 34th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2026)

Abstract
We develop Boolean-valued domain theory and show how the lambda-calculus can be interpreted using domain-valued random variables. We focus on the reflexive domain construction rather than the language and its semantics. We develop the Boolean-valued set theory needed from scratch and then develop Boolean-valued domain theory on top of that. The notions of equality and partial order have to be given Boolean-valued interpretations; when we say that an equation is valid in the model we mean that its interpretation is the top element of the Boolean algebra.

Safety and Strong Completeness via Reducibility for Many-Valued Coalgebraic Dynamic Logics

Authors: Helle Hvid Hansen and Wolfgang Poiger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 342, 11th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2025)

Abstract
We present a coalgebraic framework for studying generalisations of dynamic modal logics such as PDL and game logic in which both the propositions and the semantic structures can take values in an algebra 𝐀 of truth-degrees. More precisely, we work with coalgebraic modal logic via 𝐀-valued predicate liftings where 𝐀 is an FLew-algebra, and interpret actions (abstracting programs and games) as 𝖥-coalgebras where the functor 𝖥 represents some type of 𝐀-weighted system. We also allow combinations of crisp propositions with 𝐀-weighted systems and vice versa. We introduce coalgebra operations and tests, with a focus on operations which are reducible in the sense that modalities for composed actions can be reduced to compositions of modalities for the constituent actions. We prove that reducible operations are safe for bisimulation and behavioural equivalence, and prove a general strong completeness result, from which we obtain new strong completeness results for 𝟐-valued iteration-free PDL with 𝐀-valued accessibility relations when 𝐀 is a finite chain, and for many-valued iteration-free game logic with many-valued strategies based on finite Lukasiewicz logic.

Logic Enriched over a Quantale (Invited Talk)

Authors: Alexander Kurz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 342, 11th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2025)

Abstract
Many-valued logics have a long history in mathematical logic as well as in applications to the semantics of programming languages and to engineering more generally. Typically these logics are rich with features motivated by the particular applications they stem from. In his 1973 article "Metric Spaces, Generalized Logic, and Closed Categories", Lawvere argued that any quantale Ω gives rise to a generalized Ω-valued logic that has as its models the categories enriched over the quantale. This suggests developing a uniform framework for many-valued logics parameterized in a quantale. In this talk we will review some previous and ongoing work in that direction. In particular, we will address (not necessarily answer) the following questions. - If we take as our starting point, generalizing from 2-valued lattice logic, a logical language that comprises not only meets and joins (limits and colimits) but also tensor and power (weighted limits and colimits), what laws do these operations satisfy? - This question can be investigated for different types of semantics, generalizing the set-theoretic and the polarity-based semantics known from the 2-valued setting. - Which additional properties obtain if the quantale is integral or commutative or finite or distributive, etc? - On the other hand, quantale logics can also be investigated from a purely proof theoretic point of view, leading us to consider sequent calculi with turnstiles ⊢_ω labelled by elements ω ∈ Ω. - As Galatos and Jipsen showed, there are 1662 "Residuated Lattices of Size up to 6". Each of them generates a different and potentially interesting logic. - The adjunction Ω^-⊣ Ω^-:Ω-cat^op → Ω-cat exists for any quantale Ω. What is the logic enshrined in the monad of that adjunction? How far can one extend this to a theory of Stone duality for quantale logics parametric in the quantale? - The Dedekind-MacNeille completion generalizes to quantale categories. Similarly, the theory of canonical extensions originating with Jonsson and Tarski (and important for completeness proofs of modal logics) can be extended to quantale logics. - Since the discrete functor Set → Ω-cat is dense in the sense of Kelly, set-functors (equipped with an Ω-cat structure or not) can be extended to quantale categories via enriched left Kan extensions. This gives rise to a uniform variety of type constructors (endofunctors) on quantale categories parameterised by the quantale. - Each endofunctor on Ω-cat gives rise to a category of coalgebras with their own notion of behavioural equivalence. How many of the existing notions of many-valued (probabilistic, metric, fuzzy, etc) bisimulation can be accounted for in this uniform framework? - Morphism between quantales gives rise to change-of-base principles between categories of (co)algebras. Which transfer principles can be obtained from a systematic investigation of change of base for quantale categories? - Exploiting the duality of coalgebras (as models of computation) and algebras (as modal logics), which general logical theory of computation arises from putting the items in this list together?

On the Metric Nature of (Differential) Logical Relations

Authors: Ugo Dal Lago, Naohiko Hoshino, and Paolo Pistone

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 337, 10th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2025)

Abstract
Differential logical relations are a method to measure distances between higher-order programs. They differ from standard methods based on program metrics in that differences between functional programs are themselves functions, relating errors in input with errors in output, this way providing a more fine grained, contextual, information. The aim of this paper is to clarify the metric nature of differential logical relations. While previous work has shown that these do not give rise, in general, to (quasi-)metric spaces nor to partial metric spaces, we show that the distance functions arising from such relations, that we call quasi-quasi-metrics, can be related to both quasi-metrics and partial metrics, the latter being also captured by suitable relational definitions. Moreover, we exploit such connections to deduce some new compositional reasoning principles for program differences.

Monotone Weak Distributive Laws over the Lifted Powerset Monad in Categories of Algebras

Authors: Quentin Aristote

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)

Abstract
In both the category of sets and the category of compact Hausdorff spaces, there is a monotone weak distributive law that combines two layers of non-determinism. Noticing the similarity between these two laws, we study whether the latter can be obtained automatically as a weak lifting of the former. This holds partially, but does not generalize to other categories of algebras. We then characterize when exactly monotone weak distributive laws over powerset monads in categories of algebras exist, on the one hand exhibiting a law combining probabilities and non-determinism in compact Hausdorff spaces and showing on the other hand that such laws do not exist in a lot of other cases.

The Lambda Calculus Is Quantifiable

Authors: Valentin Maestracci and Paolo Pistone

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

Abstract
In this paper we introduce several quantitative methods for the lambda-calculus based on partial metrics, a well-studied variant of standard metric spaces that have been used to metrize non-Hausdorff topologies, like those arising from Scott domains. First, we study quantitative variants, based on program distances, of sensible equational theories for the λ-calculus, like those arising from Böhm trees and from the contextual preorder. Then, we introduce applicative distances capturing higher-order Scott topologies, including reflexive objects like the D_∞ model. Finally, we provide a quantitative insight on the well-known connection between the Böhm tree of a λ-term and its Taylor expansion, by showing that the latter can be presented as an isometric transformation.

Simple Types for Probabilistic Termination

Authors: Willem Heijltjes and Georgina Majury

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

Abstract
We present a new typing discipline to guarantee the probability of termination in probabilistic lambda-calculi. The main contribution is a particular naturality and simplicity: our probabilistic types are as simple types, but generated from probabilities as base types, representing a least probability of termination. Simple types are recovered by restricting probabilities to one. Our vehicle is the Probabilistic Event Lambda-Calculus by Dal Lago, Guerrieri, and Heijltjes, which presents a solution to the issue of confluence in probabilistic lambda-calculi. Our probabilistic type system provides an alternative solution to that using counting quantifiers by Antonelli, Dal Lago, and Pistone, for the same calculus. The problem that both type systems address is to give a lower bound on the probability that terms head-normalize. Following the recent Functional Machine Calculus by Heijltjes, our development takes the (simplified) Krivine machine as primary, and proceeds via an extension of the calculus with sequential composition and identity on the machine. Our type system then gives a natural account of termination probability on the Krivine machine, reflected back onto head-normalization for the original calculus. In this way we are able to avoid the use of counting quantifiers, while improving on the termination bounds given by Antonelli, Dal Lago, and Pistone.

Classical Linear Logic in Perfect Banach Lattices

Authors: Pedro H. Azevedo de Amorim, Leon Witzman, and Dexter Kozen

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

Abstract
In recent years, researchers have proposed various models of linear logic with strong connections to measure theory, with probabilistic coherence spaces (PCoh) being one of the most prominent. One of the main limitations of the PCoh model is that it cannot interpret continuous measures. To overcome this obstacle, Ehrhard has extended PCoh to a category of positive cones and linear Scott-continuous functions and shown that it is a model of intuitionistic linear logic. In this work we show that the category PBanLat₁ of perfect Banach lattices and positive linear functions of norm at most 1 can serve the same purpose, with some added benefits. We show that PBanLat₁ is a model of classical linear logic (without exponential) and that PCoh embeds fully and faithfully in PBanLat₁ while preserving the monoidal and *-autonomous structures. Finally, we show how PBanLat₁ can be used to give semantics to a higher-order probabilistic programming language.

An Internal Language for Categories Enriched over Generalised Metric Spaces

Authors: Fredrik Dahlqvist and Renato Neves

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 216, 30th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2022)

Abstract
Programs with a continuous state space or that interact with physical processes often require notions of equivalence going beyond the standard binary setting in which equivalence either holds or does not hold. In this paper we explore the idea of equivalence taking values in a quantale 𝒱, which covers the cases of (in)equations and (ultra)metric equations among others. Our main result is the introduction of a 𝒱-equational deductive system for linear λ-calculus together with a proof that it is sound and complete (in fact, an internal language) for a class of enriched autonomous categories. In the case of inequations, we get an internal language for autonomous categories enriched over partial orders. In the case of (ultra)metric equations, we get an internal language for autonomous categories enriched over (ultra)metric spaces. We use our results to obtain examples of inequational and metric equational systems for higher-order programs that contain real-time and probabilistic behaviour.

How to Write a Coequation ((Co)algebraic pearls)

Authors: Fredrik Dahlqvist and Todd Schmid

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 211, 9th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2021)

Abstract
There is a large amount of literature on the topic of covarieties, coequations and coequational specifications, dating back to the early seventies. Nevertheless, coequations have not (yet) emerged as an everyday practical specification formalism for computer scientists. In this review paper, we argue that this is partly due to the multitude of syntaxes for writing down coequations, which seems to have led to some confusion about what coequations are and what they are for. By surveying the literature, we identify four types of syntaxes: coequations-as-corelations, coequations-as-predicates, coequations-as-equations, and coequations-as-modal-formulas. We present each of these in a tutorial fashion, relate them to each other, and discuss their respective uses.

Nominal String Diagrams

Authors: Samuel Balco and Alexander Kurz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 139, 8th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2019)

Abstract
We introduce nominal string diagrams as string diagrams internal in the category of nominal sets. This requires us to take nominal sets as a monoidal category, not with the cartesian product, but with the separated product. To this end, we develop the beginnings of a theory of monoidal categories internal in a symmetric monoidal category. As an instance, we obtain a notion of a nominal PROP as a PROP internal in nominal sets. A 2-dimensional calculus of simultaneous substitutions is an application.

The Positivication of Coalgebraic Logics

Authors: Fredrik Dahlqvist and Alexander Kurz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 72, 7th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2017)

Abstract
We present positive coalgebraic logic in full generality, and show how to obtain a positive coalgebraic logic from a boolean one. On the model side this involves canonically computing a endofunctor T': Pos->Pos from an endofunctor T: Set->Set, in a procedure previously defined by the second author et alii called posetification. On the syntax side, it involves canonically computing a syntax-building functor L': DL->DL from a syntax-building functor L: BA->BA, in a dual procedure which we call positivication. These operations are interesting in their own right and we explicitly compute posetifications and positivications in the case of several modal logics. We show how the semantics of a boolean coalgebraic logic can be canonically lifted to define a semantics for its positive fragment, and that weak completeness transfers from the boolean case to the positive case.

Bayesian Inversion by Omega-Complete Cone Duality (Invited Paper)

Authors: Fredrik Dahlqvist, Vincent Danos, Ilias Garnier, and Ohad Kammar

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 59, 27th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2016)

Abstract
The process of inverting Markov kernels relates to the important subject of Bayesian modelling and learning. In fact, Bayesian update is exactly kernel inversion. In this paper, we investigate how and when Markov kernels (aka stochastic relations, or probabilistic mappings, or simply kernels) can be inverted. We address the question both directly on the category of measurable spaces, and indirectly by interpreting kernels as Markov operators: - For the direct option, we introduce a typed version of the category of Markov kernels and use the so-called "disintegration of measures". Here, one has to specialise to measurable spaces borne from a simple class of topological spaces -e.g. Polish spaces (other choices are possible). Our method and result greatly simplify a recent development in Ref. [4]. - For the operator option, we use a cone version of the category of Markov operators (kernels seen as predicate transformers). That is to say, our linear operators are not just continuous, but are required to satisfy the stronger condition of being $\om$-chain-continuous. Prior work shows that one obtains an adjunction in the form of a pair of contravariant and inverse functors between the categories of $L_1$- and $L_\infty$-cones [3]. Inversion, seen through the operator prism, is just adjunction. No topological assumption is needed. - We show that both categories (Markov kernels and $\om$-chain-continuous Markov operators) are related by a family of contravariant functors $T_p$ for $1\leq p\leq\infty$. The $T_p$'s are Kleisli extensions of (duals of) conditional expectation functors introduced in Ref. [3]. - With this bridge in place, we can prove that both notions of inversion agree when both defined: if $f$ is a kernel, and $f\dg$ its direct inverse, then $T_\infty(f)\dg=T_1(f\dg)$.

Robustly Parameterised Higher-Order Probabilistic Models

Authors: Fredrik Dahlqvist, Vincent Danos, and Ilias Garnier

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 59, 27th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2016)

Abstract
We present a method for constructing robustly parameterised families of higher-order probabilistic models. Parameter spaces and models are represented by certain classes of functors in the category of Polish spaces. Maps from parameter spaces to models (parameterisations) are continuous and natural transformations between such functors. Naturality ensures that parameterised models are invariant by change of granularity -- ie that parameterisations are intrinsic. Continuity ensures that models are robust with respect to their parameterisation. Our method allows one to build models from a set of basic functors among which the Giry probabilistic functor, spaces of cadlag trajectories (in continuous and discrete time), multisets and compact powersets. These functors can be combined by guarded composition, product and coproduct. Parameter spaces range over the polynomial closure of Giry-like functors. Thus we obtain a class of robust parameterised models which includes the Dirichlet process, various point processes (random sequences with values in Polish spaces) and other classical objects of probability theory. By extending techniques developed in prior work, we show how to reduce the questions of existence, uniqueness, naturality, and continuity of a parameterised model to combinatorial questions only involving finite spaces.
