| Research Abstract |
Geometry of Interaction is a mathematical theory of bi-directional interactive computation. Recently, the principal investigator noticed that, by adding higher-order constructs (monoidal closed structure) to Geometry of Interaction, one obtains a rich mathematical structure which can be used for modeling non-linear usage of computational resource. Starting from this observation, this project aimed at providing a theory of Higher-order Geometry of Interaction which combines higher-order computation and cyclic structure in a neat way, together with applications in theory of programming languages. As outcome, we established basic results on traced monoidal closed categories, gave a correction of an error in the structure theorem for traced monoidal categories by Joyal et al., and provided a basic result on the operational semantics of the cyclic call-by-need lambda calculus.
