The free bifibration on a functor

Bryce Clarke, Gabriel Scherer, Noam Zeilberger

We consider the problem of constructing the free bifibration generated by a functor of categories . This problem was previously considered by Lamarche, and is closely…

The categorical contours of the Chomsky-Schützenberger representation theorem

Paul-André Melliès, Noam Zeilberger

We develop fibrational perspectives on context-free grammars and on nondeterministic finite-state automata over categories and operads. A generalized CFG is a functor from a free c…

On the complexity of normalization for the planar -calculus

Anupam Das, Damiano Mazza, Lê Thành Dũng Nguyên +1

We sketch a tentative proof of P-completeness for the -convertibility problem on untyped planar (a.k.a. ordered or non-commutative) -terms.

Parsing as a lifting problem and the Chomsky-Schützenberger representation theorem

Paul-André Melliès, Noam Zeilberger

We begin by explaining how any context-free grammar encodes a functor of operads from a freely generated operad into a certain "operad of spliced words". This motivates a more gene…

Asymptotic Distribution of Parameters in Trivalent Maps and Linear Lambda Terms

Olivier Bodini, Alexandros Singh, Noam Zeilberger

Structural properties of large random maps and lambda-terms may be gleaned by studying the limit distributions of various parameters of interest. In our work we focus on restricted…

Proof Theory of Partially Normal Skew Monoidal Categories

Tarmo Uustalu, Niccolò Veltri, Noam Zeilberger

The skew monoidal categories of Szlachányi are a weakening of monoidal categories where the three structural laws of left and right unitality and associativity are not required to…

Deductive Systems and Coherence for Skew Prounital Closed Categories

Tarmo Uustalu, Niccolò Veltri, Noam Zeilberger

In this paper, we develop the proof theory of skew prounital closed categories. These are variants of the skew closed categories of Street where the unit is not represented. Skew c…

The Sequent Calculus of Skew Monoidal Categories

Tarmo Uustalu, Niccolò Veltri, Noam Zeilberger

Szlachányi's skew monoidal categories are a well-motivated variation of monoidal categories in which the unitors and associator are not required to be natural isomorphisms, but mer…

Two Questions about the Fractional Counting of Partitions

Doron Zeilberger, Noam Zeilberger

We recall the notion of fractional enumeration and immediately focus on the fractional counting of integer partitions, where each partition gets credit equal to the reciprocal of t…

A theory of linear typings as flows on 3-valent graphs

Noam Zeilberger

Building on recently established enumerative connections between lambda calculus and the theory of embedded graphs (or "maps"), this paper develops an analogy between typing (of la…

A sequent calculus for a semi-associative law

Noam Zeilberger

We introduce a sequent calculus with a simple restriction of Lambek's product rules that precisely captures the classical Tamari order, i.e., the partial order on fully-bracketed w…

A sequent calculus for the Tamari order

Noam Zeilberger

We introduce a sequent calculus with a simple restriction of Lambek's product rules that precisely captures the classical Tamari order, i.e., the partial order on fully-bracketed w…

Connected chord diagrams and bridgeless maps

Julien Courtiel, Karen Yeats, Noam Zeilberger

We present a surprisingly new connection between two well-studied combinatorial classes: rooted connected chord diagrams on one hand, and rooted bridgeless combinatorial maps on th…

A bifibrational reconstruction of Lawvere's presheaf hyperdoctrine

Paul-André Melliès, Noam Zeilberger

Combining insights from the study of type refinement systems and of monoidal closed chiralities, we show how to reconstruct Lawvere's hyperdoctrine of presheaves using a full and f…

Linear lambda terms as invariants of rooted trivalent maps

Noam Zeilberger

The main aim of the article is to give a simple and conceptual account for the correspondence (originally described by Bodini, Gardy, and Jacquot) between -equivalence classes o…

Counting isomorphism classes of -normal linear lambda terms

Noam Zeilberger

Unanticipated connections between different fragments of lambda calculus and different families of embedded graphs (a.k.a. "maps") motivate the problem of enumerating -normal li…

An Isbell Duality Theorem for Type Refinement Systems

Paul-André Melliès, Noam Zeilberger

Any refinement system (= functor) has a fully faithful representation in the refinement system of presheaves, by interpreting types as relative slice categories, and refinement typ…

A correspondence between rooted planar maps and normal planar lambda terms

Noam Zeilberger, Alain Giorgetti

A rooted planar map is a connected graph embedded in the 2-sphere, with one edge marked and assigned an orientation. A term of the pure lambda calculus is said to be linear if ever…

Type refinement and monoidal closed bifibrations

Paul-André Melliès, Noam Zeilberger

The concept of_refinement_ in type theory is a way of reconciling the "intrinsic" and the "extrinsic" meanings of types. We begin with a rigorous analysis of this concept, settling…
