PhD thesis

• Project with Thomas Seiller: succeeding the Geometry of Interaction, the “Transcendental Syntax” project of Jean-Yves Girard aims at a reconstruction of logical entities (LL proof-nets, formulas, correctness criterion, truth/provability) through a model of computation based on first-order unification. The project suggests a new and fully computational foundation for logic.

• Project with Damiano Mazza: we study how the Geometry of Interaction can be used a relevant tool for the analysis of space complexity for the lambda-calculus. Moreover, we study how linear terms can “approximate” the lambda-calculus and how it is related to the approximation of Turing machines by boolean circuits. We would like to relate the computational complexity of lambda terms to the ones of Turing machines in order to provide characterisations of classes within a lambda-calculus.
