Supported Sets - A New Foundation for Nominal Sets and Automata

Authors: Thorsten Wißmann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 252, 31st EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2023)

Abstract
The present work proposes and discusses the category of supported sets which provides a uniform foundation for nominal sets of various kinds, such as those for equality symmetry, for the order symmetry, and renaming sets. We show that all these differently flavoured categories of nominal sets are monadic over supported sets. Thus, supported sets provide a canonical finite way to represent nominal sets and the automata therein, e.g. register automata and coalgebras in general. Name binding in supported sets is modelled by a functor following the idea of de Bruijn indices. This functor lifts to the well-known abstraction functor in nominal sets. Together with the monadicity result, this gives rise to a transformation process from finite coalgebras in supported sets to orbit-finite coalgebras in nominal sets. One instance of this process transforms the finite representation of a register automaton in supported sets into its configuration automaton in nominal sets.

Residual Nominal Automata

Authors: Joshua Moerman and Matteo Sammartino

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 171, 31st International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2020)

Abstract
We are motivated by the following question: which nominal languages admit an active learning algorithm? This question was left open in previous work, and is particularly challenging for languages recognised by nondeterministic automata. To answer it, we develop the theory of residual nominal automata, a subclass of nondeterministic nominal automata. We prove that this class has canonical representatives, which can always be constructed via a finite number of observations. This property enables active learning algorithms, and makes up for the fact that residuality - a semantic property - is undecidable for nominal automata. Our construction for canonical residual automata is based on a machine-independent characterisation of residual languages, for which we develop new results in nominal lattice theory. Studying residuality in the context of nominal languages is a step towards a better understanding of learnability of automata with some sort of nondeterminism.

Separation and Renaming in Nominal Sets

Authors: Joshua Moerman and Jurriaan Rot

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 152, 28th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2020)

Abstract
Nominal sets provide a foundation for reasoning about names. They are used primarily in syntax with binders, but also, e.g., to model automata over infinite alphabets. In this paper, nominal sets are related to nominal renaming sets, which involve arbitrary substitutions rather than permutations, through a categorical adjunction. In particular, the left adjoint relates the separated product of nominal sets to the Cartesian product of nominal renaming sets. Based on these results, we define the new notion of separated nominal automata. We show that these automata can be exponentially smaller than classical nominal automata, if the semantics is closed under substitutions.
