Based on Gandy's principles for models of computation we give category-theoretic axioms describing locally deterministic updates to finite objects. Rather than fixing a particular category of states, we describe what properties such a…

In this paper we investigate the Curry-Howard correspondence for constructive modal logic in light of the gap between the proof equivalences enforced by the lambda calculi from the literature and by the recently defined winning strategies…

We construct an iterative method for factorising small strict n-categories into a unique (up to isomorphism) collection of small 1- categories. Following this we develop the theory to include a large class of $\infty$-categories. We use…

Expansion of the categorical point of view on many areas of the mathematics and mathematical physics will cause to deeper understanding of genuine features of these problems. New applications of categorical methods are connected with new…

We develop a class of algebraic interpretations for many-sorted and higher-order term rewriting systems that takes type information into account. Specifically, base-type terms are mapped to \emph{tuples} of natural numbers and higher-order…

Parameterization extends higher-order processes with the capability of abstraction and application (like those in lambda-calculus). This extension is strict, i.e., higher-order processes equipped with parameterization is computationally…

The starting point of this work is the observation that the Curry-Howard isomorphism, relating types and propositions, programs and proofs, composition and cut, extends to the correspondence of program fusion and cut elimination. This…

The termination method of weakly monotonic algebras, which has been defined for higher-order rewriting in the HRS formalism, offers a lot of power, but has seen little use in recent years. We adapt and extend this method to the alternative…

This thesis studies the categorical formalisation of quantum computing, through the prism of type theory, in a three-tier process. The first stage of our investigation involves the creation of the dagger lambda calculus, a lambda calculus…

This is the second in a series of papers extending Martin-L\"{o}f's meaning explanation of dependent type theory to account for higher-dimensional types. We build on the cubical realizability framework for simple types developed in Part I,…

Psi-calculi is a parametric framework for process calculi similar to popular pi-calculus extensions such as the explicit fusion calculus, the applied pi-calculus and the spi calculus. Mechanised proofs of standard algebraic and congruence…

This work exploits the logical foundation of session types to determine what kind of type discipline for the pi-calculus can exactly capture, and is captured by, lambda-calculus behaviours. Leveraging the proof theoretic content of the…

We present a calculus that models a simple sort of process interaction. Our calculus consists of a collection of terms together with a rewrite relation, parameterised by an arbitrary multicategory whose morphisms we understand as…

Quantum computation can be formulated through various models, each highlighting distinct structural and resource-theoretic aspects of quantum computational power. This paper develops a unified categorical framework that encompasses these…

The Curry-Howard correspondence is about a relationship between types and programs on the one hand and propositions and proofs on the other. The implications for programming language design and program verification is an active field of…

The depth-bounded fragment of the pi-calculus is an expressive class of systems enjoying decidability of some important verification problems. Unfortunately membership of the fragment is undecidable. We propose a novel type system,…

In this thesis I lift the Curry--Howard--Lambek correspondence between the simply-typed lambda calculus and cartesian closed categories to the bicategorical setting, then use the resulting type theory to prove a coherence result for…

Instead of developing a customized typed lambda-calculus for each theory, we attempt to design a general parametric calculus that permits to express the proofs of any theory. This way, the problem of expressing proofs in the lambda-calculus…

This is a survey of {\lambda}-calculi that, through the Curry-Howard isomorphism, correspond to constructive modal logics. We cover the prehistory of the subject and then concentrate on the developments that took place in the 1990s and…
