Beyond Monads and Biproducts: A Uniform Interpretation of Parallelism in Intuitionistic Logic

Authors: Alejandro Díaz-Caro and Octavio Malherbe

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 360, 45th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2025)

Abstract
Traditional approaches to modelling parallelism and algebraic structure in lambda calculi often rely on monads - as in Moggi’s framework - or on rich categorical structures such as biproducts - as used in certain models of linear logic. In this work, we propose a minimal alternative that captures both parallelism and weighted parallelism (linear combinations) within the setting of intuitionistic propositional logic, without resorting to monads or assuming the existence of biproducts. We introduce two lambda calculi: a parallel lambda calculus and an algebraic lambda calculus, both extending full propositional intuitionistic logic. Their semantics are given in two categories: Mag_{Set}, whose objects are magmas and arrows are functions in Set; and AMag^{𝒮}_{Set}, whose objects are action magmas. The key technical challenge addressed is the interpretation of disjunction in the presence of parallel and algebraic operators. Since the usual coproduct structure is unavailable in our minimal setting, we propose a novel set-theoretic interpretation based on the union of the disjoint union and the Cartesian product. This allows for the construction of sound and adequate models for both calculi. Our results offer a unified and structurally lightweight framework for modelling parallelism and algebraic effects in intuitionistic logic, opening the way to alternatives beyond the traditional monadic or linear logic approaches.

Linear Lambda-Calculus is Linear

Authors: Alejandro Díaz-Caro and Gilles Dowek

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 228, 7th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2022)

Abstract
We prove a linearity theorem for an extension of linear logic with addition and multiplication by a scalar: the proofs of some propositions in this logic are linear in the algebraic sense. This work is part of a wider research program that aims at defining a logic whose proof language is a quantum programming language.

Proof Normalisation in a Logic Identifying Isomorphic Propositions

Authors: Alejandro Díaz-Caro and Gilles Dowek

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 131, 4th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2019)

Abstract
We define a fragment of propositional logic where isomorphic propositions, such as A wedge B and B wedge A, or A ==> (B wedge C) and (A ==> B) wedge (A ==> C) are identified. We define System I, a proof language for this logic, and prove its normalisation and consistency.
