Cut Reduction in Linear Logic as Asynchronous Session-Typed Communication

pdf-format:
21.pdf (0.5 MB)

Abstract

Prior work has shown that intuitionistic linear logic can be seen as a
session-type discipline for the pi-calculus, where cut reduction in
the sequent calculus corresponds to synchronous process reduction. In
this paper, we exhibit a new process assignment from the asynchronous,
polyadic pi-calculus to exactly the same proof rules. Proof-theoretically, the difference between these interpretations can
be understood through permutations of inference rules that preserve
observational equivalence of closed processes in the synchronous case.
We also show that, under this new asynchronous interpretation, cut
reductions correspond to a natural asynchronous buffered session
semantics, where each session is allocated a separate communication
buffer.
