Resumption-based IO systems?
I've been playing around with resumptions lately, mostly from Abramsky's classic paper Retracing Some Paths in Process Algebra. They are quite slick (basically solutions to the domain equation $R = I …

Generalizations of Brzozowski's method of derivatives of regular expressions to grammars?
Brzozowski's method of derivatives is a very pretty technique for building deterministic automata from regular expressions in a nicely algebraic way. I've worked out some cute generalizations of this …

Parametricity and projective eliminations for dependent records
It's well-known that in System F, you can encode binary products with the type
$$
A \times B \triangleq \forall\alpha.\; (A \to B \to \alpha) \to \alpha
$$
You can then define projection functions $\p …

Categorical semantics for S5 modal logic?
Does anyone know where I can look to find out what the generally categorical semantics of S5 is?
For S4, the answer is well-known: we want a Cartesian closed category with a product-preserving comon …

Uses of quasi-PERs/difunctional relations/zig-zag relations?
Given sets $A$ and $B$, a difunctional relation $(\sim) \subseteq A \times B$ between them is defined to be a relation satisfying the following property:
If $a \sim b$ and $a' \sim b'$ and $a \sim …

Unification-based elimination rule for equality
A few years back, I ran across the following left-rule for equality in sequent calculus:
$$
\frac{s \doteq t \leadsto \theta \qquad
\theta(\Gamma) \vdash \theta(C)}
{\Gamma, s \doteq t …

Fixed point theorems for constructive metric spaces?
Banach's fixed point theorem says that if we have a nonempty complete metric space $A$, then any uniformly contractive function $f : A \to A$ it has a unique fixed point $\mu(f)$. However, the proof o …

References to programming languages based on conditional logics
Conditional logics are logics which augment traditional logical implication with modal operators corresponding to other notions of condition (for example, the causal conditional $A\; \square\!\!\!\!\t …

Proof theory of biproducts?
A category has biproducts when the same objects are both the products and coproducts. Has anyone investigated the proof theory of categories with biproducts?
Perhaps the best-known example is the cat …

Reference for the fact that (0=1) implies false requires a universe in MLTT
It's a fairly well-known fact that deriving a contradiction from a disequality (for example, $(0=1) \to \bot$) in Martin-Loef type theory requires a universe.
The proof is also fairly straightforwar …
