Summary on Grant Application Form
Domain Theory in Logical Form is a framework which allows the semanticist to switch between an interpretation of programs and a program logic. It is based on Stone Duality and was developed into a powerful tool by Samson Abramsky for classical notions of computation. In order to also capture continuous phenomena, such as computation over real numbers, or probabilistic algorithms, the framework was extended in joint work between the Moshier, Kegelmann and the PI, and is referred to as multi-lingual sequent calculus (MLS).MLS is based on a duality for topological spaces. The project aims to reconcile MLS with standard notions of domain which are typically defined as certain ordered structures. It also aims to study the probabilistic powerspace construction and to find a more structural, and hence more informative, proof of its logical characterisation.The project will allow the visiting researcher, Prof. Chen, to get involved in the latest developments in MLS, and to bring his own experience with domain logics to bear.
