A Complete Finitary Refinement Type System for Scott-Open Properties

Authors: Colin Riba and Adam Donadille

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 378, 11th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2026)

Abstract
We are interested in proving input-output properties of functions that handle infinite data such as streams or non-wellfounded trees. We provide a finitary refinement type system which is (sound and) complete for Scott-open properties defined in a fixpoint-like logic. Working on top of Abramsky’s Domain Theory in Logical Form, we build from the well-known fact that the Scott domains interpreting recursive types are spectral spaces. The usual symmetry between Scott-open and compact-saturated sets is reflected in logical polarities: positive formulae allow for least fixpoints and define Scott-open sets, while negative formulae allow for greatest fixpoints and define compact-saturated sets. A realizability implication with the expected (contra)variance on polarities allows for non-trivial input-output properties to be formulated as positive formulae on function types.

A Curry-Howard Approach to Church's Synthesis

Authors: Cécilia Pradic and Colin Riba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 84, 2nd International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2017)

Abstract
Church's synthesis problem asks whether there exists a finite-state stream transducer satisfying a given input-output specification. For specifications written in Monadic Second-Order Logic over infinite words, Church's synthesis can theoretically be solved algorithmically using automata and games. We revisit Church's synthesis via the Curry-Howard correspondence by introducing SMSO, a non-classical subsystem of MSO, which is shown to be sound and complete w.r.t. synthesis thanks to an automata-based realizability model.

Fibrations of Tree Automata

Authors: Colin Riba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 38, 13th International Conference on Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications (TLCA 2015)

Abstract
We propose a notion of morphisms between tree automata based on game semantics. Morphisms are winning strategies on a synchronous restriction of the linear implication between acceptance games. This leads to split indexed categories, with substitution based on a suitable notion of synchronous tree function. By restricting to tree functions issued from maps on alphabets, this gives a fibration of tree automata. We then discuss the (fibrewise) monoidal structure issued from the synchronous product of automata. We also discuss how a variant of the usual projection operation on automata leads to an existential quantification in the fibered sense. Our notion of morphism is correct (it respects language inclusion), and in a weaker sense also complete.
