Proof Nets for PiL (Full Version)

Logic in Computer Science 2026-05-15 v1

Abstract

We introduce proof nets for PiL, an extension of first-order multiplicative additive linear logic with new operators allowing a shallow encoding of processes in the {\pi}-calculus as formulas. We provide correctness criterion, sequentialization procedure, and a proof translation algorithm. We show that proof nets provide a canonical representation of sequent calculus derivations modulo rule permutations.
