Logic and interaction (6 – 10 February)

This week is dedicated to the theme of interactive approaches of logic: models and fameworks in which the fundamental mechanism is that of a dialog between proofs and counter-proofs. Areas of interest notably include the Geometry of interaction programme, aiming at a reconstruction of logic from interaction as the primitive notion, considered as an abstract counterpart of cut elimination; the study of mathematical structures that represent dialog processes (game semantics, ludics), including recent developments at the boundary between mathematical logic and linguistics.
