The Functional Machine Calculus (FMC) was recently introduced as a generalization of the lambda-calculus to include higher-order global state, probabilistic and non-deterministic choice, and input and output, while retaining confluence. The…

This paper presents preliminary work on a general system for integrating dependent types into substructural type systems such as linear logic and linear type theory. Prior work on this front has generally managed to deliver type systems…

We introduce a call-by-name lambda-calculus $\lambda Jn$ with generalized applications which is equipped with distant reduction. This allows to unblock $\beta$-redexes without resorting to the standard permutative conversions of generalized…

Randomized higher-order computation can be seen as being captured by a lambda calculus endowed with a single algebraic operation, namely a construct for binary probabilistic choice. What matters about such computations is the probability of…

We introduce type-theoretic algebraic weak factorisation systems and show how they give rise to homotopy-theoretic models of Martin-L\"of type theory. This is done by showing that the comprehension category associated to a type-theoretic…

The differential $\lambda$-calculus studies how the quantitative aspects of programs correspond to differentiation and to Taylor expansion inside models of linear logic. Recent work has generalized the axioms of Taylor expansion so they…

Formal mathematics and computer science proofs are formalized using Hilbert-Russell-style logical systems which are designed to not admit paradoxes and self-refencing reasoning. These logical systems are natural way to describe and reason…

Generalized metrics, arising from Lawvere's view of metric spaces as enriched categories, have been widely applied in denotational semantics as a way to measure to which extent two programs behave in a similar, although non equivalent, way.…

This work proposes a dependent type theory that combines functions and session-typed processes (with value dependencies) through a contextual monad, internalising typed processes in a dependently-typed lambda-calculus. The proposed…

Linear type systems need to keep track of how programs use their resources. The standard approach is to use context splits specifying how resources are (disjointly) split across subterms. In this approach, context splits redundantly echo…

We introduce two extensions of the $\lambda$-calculus with a probabilistic choice operator, $\Lambda_\oplus^{cbv}$ and $\Lambda_\oplus^{cbn}$, modeling respectively call-by-value and call-by-name probabilistic computation. We prove that…

In this paper, we present a typed lambda calculus ${\bf SILL}(\lambda)_{\Sigma}$, a type-theoretic version of intuitionistic linear logic with subexponentials, that is, we have many resource comonadic modalities with some interconnections…

We give a polymorphic account of the relational algebra. We introduce a formalism of ``type formulas'' specifically tuned for relational algebra expressions, and present an algorithm that computes the ``principal'' type for a given…

A notion of probabilistic lambda-calculus usually comes with a prescribed reduction strategy, typically call-by-name or call-by-value, as the calculus is non-confluent and these strategies yield different results. This is a break with one…

Unanticipated connections between different fragments of lambda calculus and different families of embedded graphs (a.k.a. "maps") motivate the problem of enumerating $\beta$-normal linear lambda terms. In this brief note, it is shown (by…

We study an assignment system of intersection types for a lambda-calculus with records and a record-merge operator, where types are preserved both under subject reduction and expansion. The calculus is expressive enough to naturally…

We give a formal treatment of simple type theories, such as the simply-typed $\lambda$-calculus, using the framework of abstract clones. Abstract clones traditionally describe first-order structures, but by equipping them with additional…

We introduce the notion of reflexivity for combinatory algebras. Reflexivity can be thought of as an equational counterpart of the Meyer-Scott axiom of combinatory models, which indeed allows us to characterise an equationally definable…

The Resource $\lambda$-calculus is a variation of the $\lambda$-calculus where arguments can be superposed and must be linearly used. Hence it is a model for linear and non-deterministic programming languages, and the target language of…
