Tags:Abstract simplicial complexes, Linear logic and Simplicial homology
Abstract:
Linear logic’s coherent spaces are a simple kind of abstract simplicial complexes (asc, for short). These combinatorially encode a topological space that is usually studied via (simplicial) homology. We can easily associate an asc with any formula of LL under some semantics, in such a way proofs become the faces of the asc and such that this asc satisfactorily represents the “space of the (interpretations of the) proofs” of the formula. Starting from this remark, we discuss the natural question of defining a type-isomorphic invariant homology for those asc’s.
