Aug 30, 2016 at 12:16 comment added Andrej Bauer Maybe Paul Taylor's Appendix A of paultaylor.eu/stable/prot.pdf, that's a classic. If you want to dive into category theory you could try the recent paper by Ghani, Nordvall and Simpson (link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-662-49630-5_1 or pure.strath.ac.uk/portal/en/publications/… for a pdf)
Aug 29, 2016 at 20:07 comment added chi @AndrejBauer Would you recommend starting from any particular approach, even if abstract, for System F?
Aug 29, 2016 at 18:58 comment added Andrej Bauer For System F things are a bit more complicated. There's usually more category theory involved.
Aug 29, 2016 at 18:35 comment added Martin Berger @chi We have a draft here. It's not a very well-developed approach currently.
Aug 29, 2016 at 18:30 comment added chi @AndrejBauer Thanks. The first random paper I just browsed used a shallow approach to polymorphism: intersect all the PERs for every $\tau$ ranging over monotypes. I'll look further to find something deeper, so to encompass e.g. System F.
Aug 29, 2016 at 18:26 comment added chi @MartinBerger You mean to interpret a lambda term as a (ordered) set of formulae? I'm trying to figure out how that would work...
Aug 29, 2016 at 17:31 comment added Martin Berger @chi How about logical formulae ordered by implication?
Aug 29, 2016 at 16:44 comment added chi @MartinBerger Good point. I guess I have a bias towards domain-theoretic semantics (à la Winskel's book) since I want to handle non-termination. I'm also willing to explore set-theoretical models for some terminating fragment, especially if they can be extended to cover non-termination as well. I'm not much familiar on those at the moment, though.
Aug 29, 2016 at 15:46 comment added Martin Berger @chi, what do you count as denotational semantics?
Aug 29, 2016 at 13:01 comment added Andrej Bauer PER models seem like a natural next thing to study.
