Presheaf Models for Concurrency

In this dissertation we investigate presheaf models for concurrent computation. Our aim is to provide a systematic treatment of bisimulation for a wide range of concurrent process calculi. Bisimilarity is defined abstractly in terms of open maps as in the work of Joyal, Nielsen and Winskel. Their work inspired this thesis by suggesting that presheaf categories could provide abstract models for concurrency with a built-in notion of bisimulation. We show how

Constructive algebraic integration theory without choice. Dagstuhl proceedings
- Mathematics, Algorithms, Proofs, number 05021 in Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings. Internationales Begegnungs- und Forschungszentrum (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl
, 2005
"... Abstract. We present a constructive algebraic integration theory. The theory is constructive in the sense of Bishop, however we avoid the axiom of countable, or dependent, choice. Thus our results can be interpreted in any topos. Since we avoid impredicative methods the results may also be interpret ..."

Abstract. We present a constructive algebraic integration theory. The theory is constructive in the sense of Bishop, however we avoid the axiom of countable, or dependent, choice. Thus our results can be interpreted in any topos. Since we avoid impredicative methods the results may also be interpreted in Martin-L type theory or in a predicative topos in the sense of Moerdijk and Palmgren. We outline how to develop most of Bishop’s theorems on integration theory that do not mention points explicitly. Coquand’s constructive version of the Stone representation theorem is an important tool in this process. It is also used to give a new proof of Bishop’s spectral theorem.
Extending Intuitionistic Logic with Subtraction
, 1997
"... This paper is an exercise in formal and philosophical logic. I will show how intuitionistic propositional logic can be extended with a new two-place connective, not expressible in the traditional language of intuitionistic logic (the language of conjunction, disjunction, negation and implication). T ..."

This paper is an exercise in formal and philosophical logic. I will show how intuitionistic propositional logic can be extended with a new two-place connective, not expressible in the traditional language of intuitionistic logic (the language of conjunction, disjunction, negation and implication). The new system will be shown to be a conservative extension of intuitionistic logic. After examining the formal properties of this extension, the task will be to consider whether this is an `acceptable' extension of intuitionistic logic. It will turn out that on some
CATEGORIES OF COMPONENTS AND LOOP-FREE CATEGORIES
"... Abstract. Given a groupoid G one has, in addition to the equivalence of categories E from G to its skeleton, a fibration F (Definition 1.11) from G to its set of connected components (seen as a discrete category). From the observation that E and F differ unless G[x, x] = {idx} for every object x of ..."

Abstract. Given a groupoid G one has, in addition to the equivalence of categories E from G to its skeleton, a fibration F (Definition 1.11) from G to its set of connected components (seen as a discrete category). From the observation that E and F differ unless G[x, x] = {idx} for every object x of G, we prove there is a fibered equivalence (Definition 1.12) from C[Σ-1] (Proposition 1.1) to C/Σ (Proposition 1.8) when Σ is a

Intuitionistic logic is an important variant of classical logic, but it is not as wellunderstood, even in the propositional case. In this thesis, we describe a faithful representation of intuitionistic propositional formulas as tree automata. This representation permits a number of consequences, including a characterization theorem for free Heyting algebras, which are the intutionistic analogue of free Boolean algebras, and a new algorithm for solving equations over intuitionistic propositional logic.
