Weak $\omega$-Regular Trace Languages

Abstract

Mazurkiewicz traces describe concurrent behaviors of distributed systems. Trace-closed word languages, which are "linearizations" of trace languages, constitute a weaker notion of concurrency but still give us tools to investigate the latter. In this vein, our contribution is twofold. Firstly, we develop definitions that allow classification of ω\omega-regular trace languages in terms of the corresponding trace-closed ω\omega-regular word languages, capturing E-recognizable (reachability) and (deterministically) B\"uchi recognizable languages. Secondly, we demonstrate the first automata-theoretic result that shows the equivalence of ω\omega-regular trace-closed word languages and Boolean combinations of deterministically II-diamond B\"uchi recognizable trace-closed languages.
