An Interactive Proof of Termination for a Concurrent $\lambda$-calculus with References and Explicit Substitutions

Abstract

In this paper we introduce a typed, concurrent λ\lambda-calculus with references featuring explicit substitutions for variables and references. Alongside usual safety properties, we recover strong normalization. The proof is based on a reducibility technique and an original interactive property reminiscent of the Game Semantics approach.
