Minimality of the correctness criterion for multiplicative proof nets
نویسنده
چکیده
Received Almost a decade ago, Girard invented linear logic with the notion of proof-net. Proof-nets are special graphs built from formulas, links and boxes. However, not all nets are proof-nets. Firstly, they must be well constructed (we say that such graphs are proof-structures). Secondly, a proof-net is a proof-structure that corresponds to a sequential proof. It must verify a correctness criterion. One may wander what this static criterion means for cut-elimination. We prove that every not-correct proof-structure (without cut) can be put in an environment where reductions lead to two kinds of wrong basically conngurations: deadlocks and disconnected proof-structures. Thus, this proof says that there does not exist a bigger class than proof-nets of proof-structures where normalization does not lead to very bad conngurations.

Retractile Proof Nets of the Purely Multiplicative and Additive Fragment of Linear Logic
Proof nets are a parallel syntax for sequential proofs of linear logic, firstly introduced by Girard in 1987. Here we present and intrinsic (geometrical) characterization of proof nets, that is a correctness criterion (an algorithm) for checking those proof structures which correspond to proofs of the purely multiplicative and additive fragment of linear logic. This criterion is formulated in t...
متن کاملAn Algebraic Correctness Criterion for Intuitionistic Multiplicative Proof-Nets
We consider intuitionistic fragments of multiplicative linear logic for which we deene appropriate notions of proof-nets. These are based on a correctness criterion that consists of decorating the nodes of a proof-structure with monoidal terms that must obey constraints reminiscent of phase semantics.
متن کاملA new correctness criterion for multiplicative non-commutative proof nets
We introduce a new correctness criterion for multiplicative non commutative proof nets which can be considered as the non-commutative counterpart to the Danos-Regnier criterion for proof nets of linear logic. The main intuition relies on the fact that any switching for a proof net (obtained by mutilating one premise of each disjunction link) can be naturally viewed as a series-parallel order va...
متن کاملA Characterization of Hypercoherent Semantic Correctness in Multiplicative Additive Linear Logic
We give a graph theoretical criterion on multiplicative additive linear logic (MALL) cut-free proof structures that exactly characterizes those whose interpretation is a hyperclique in Ehrhard’s hypercoherent spaces. This criterion is strictly weaker than the one given by Hughes and van Glabbeek characterizing proof nets (i.e. desequentialized sequent calculus proofs). We thus also give the fir...
متن کاملYet Another Correctness Criterion for Multiplicative Linear Logic with MIX
A new correctness criterion for discriminating Proof Nets among Proof Structures of Multiplicative Linear Logic with MIX rule is provided. This criterion is inspired by an original interpretation of Proof Structures as distributed systems, and logical formulae as processes. The computation inside a system corresponds to the logical ow of information inside a proof, that is, roughly, a distribut...
