Probability theory can be studied synthetically as the computational effect embodied by a commutative monad. In the recently proposed Markov categories, one works with an abstraction of the Kleisli category and then defines deterministic morphisms equationally in terms of copying and discarding. The resulting difference between ‘pure’ and ‘deterministic’ leads us to investigate the ‘sober’ objects for a probability monad, for which the two concepts coincide. We propose natural conditions on a probability monad which allow us to identify the sober objects and define an idempotent sobrification functor. Our framework applies to many examples of interest, including the Giry monad on measurable spaces, and allows us to sharpen a previously given version of de Finetti’s theorem for Markov categories.
概率论可以作为一个可交换单子所体现的计算效果来进行综合研究。在最近提出的马尔可夫范畴中,人们对Kleisli范畴进行了抽象,然后根据复制和丢弃等价地定义了确定性态射。由此产生的"纯粹的"和"确定的"之间的差别,使我们去研究"清醒的"对象,以获得一个概率单子,因为这两个概念是一致的。我们提出了一个概率单子上的自然条件,使我们能够识别清醒对象并定义幂等的清醒函子。我们的框架适用于许多有趣的例子,包括可测量空间上的Giry monad,并允许我们改进先前给定的马尔可夫范畴的de Finetti定理版本。

When Locality Meets Preservation 当地方与保存相遇

This paper investigates the expressiveness of a fragment of first-order sentences in Gaifman normal form, namely the positive Boolean combinations of basic local sentences. We show that they match exactly the first-order sentences preserved under local elementary embeddings, thus providing a new general preservation theorem and extending the Łós-Tarski Theorem. This full preservation result fails as usual in the finite, and we show furthermore that the naturally related decision problems are undecidable. In the more restricted case of preservation under extensions, it nevertheless yields new well-behaved classes of finite structures: we show that preservation under extensions holds if and only if it holds locally.
本文研究了Gaifman范式一阶句片段的可表达性,即基本局部句的正布尔组合。我们证明了它们与局部初等嵌入下保存的一阶句子完全匹配,从而提供了一个新的一般保存定理,并扩展了Łós-Tarski定理。这种完全保存的结果在有限情况下仍然是不成立的,进一步证明了自然相关的决策问题是不可判定的。在扩展下保存的更有限的情况下,它仍然产生了新的性能良好的有限结构类:我们证明扩展下保存当且仅当它在局部成立。

Graded Monads and Behavioural Equivalence Games 分级单子和行为等价游戏
Pub Date : 2022-03-29 DOI: 10.1145/3531130.3533374

The framework of graded semantics uses graded monads to capture behavioural equivalences of varying granularity, for example as found in the linear-time / branching-time spectrum, over general system types. We describe a generic Spoiler-Duplicator game for graded semantics that is extracted from the given graded monad, and may be seen as playing out an equational proof; instances include standard pebble games for simulation and bisimulation as well as games for trace-like equivalences and coalgebraic behavioural equivalence. Considerations on an infinite variant of such games lead to a novel notion of infinite-depth graded semantics. Under reasonable restrictions, the infinite-depth graded semantics associated to a given graded equivalence can be characterized in terms of a determinization construction for coalgebras under the equivalence at hand.
分级语义框架使用分级单子来捕获不同粒度的行为等价,例如在一般系统类型的线性时间/分支时间谱中发现的行为等价。我们描述了一个从给定的分级单子中提取的分级语义的通用破坏者-复制者博弈,并且可以看作是一个等式证明;实例包括用于模拟和双模拟的标准卵石游戏,以及用于跟踪等效和共代数行为等效的游戏。对这种博弈的无限变体的考虑导致了无限深度分级语义的新概念。在合理的限制条件下,与给定的分级等价相关的无限深度分级语义可以用等价下的余代数的确定构造来表征。

Curry and Howard Meet Borel 库里和霍华德遇见了博雷尔
Pub Date : 2022-03-21 DOI: 10.1145/3531130.3533361
Melissa Antonelli, Ugo Dal Lago, Paolo Pistone
We show that an intuitionistic version of counting propositional logic corresponds, in the sense of Curry and Howard, to an expressive type system for the probabilistic event λ-calculus, a vehicle calculus in which both call-by-name and call-by-value evaluation of discrete randomized functional programs can be simulated. In this context, proofs (respectively, types) do not guarantee that validity (respectively, termination) holds, but reveal the underlying probability. We finally show how to obtain a system precisely capturing the probabilistic behavior of λ-terms, by endowing the type system with an intersection operator.
我们表明,在Curry和Howard的意义上,计数命题逻辑的直觉版本对应于概率事件λ-演算的表达型系统,λ-演算是一种车辆演算,其中可以模拟离散随机函数程序的按名称调用和按值调用评估。在这种情况下,证明(分别是类型)并不保证有效性(分别是终止)成立,但揭示了潜在的概率。我们最后展示了如何通过赋予类型系统一个交算子来获得一个精确捕获λ项的概率行为的系统。

The Regular Languages of First-Order Logic with One Alternation 一类一阶逻辑的正则语言
Pub Date : 2022-03-11 DOI: 10.1145/3531130.3533371
Corentin Barloy, M. Cadilhac, Charles Paperman, T. Zeume
The regular languages with a neutral letter expressible in first-order logic with one alternation are characterized. Specifically, it is shown that if an arbitrary Σ2 formula defines a regular language with a neutral letter, then there is an equivalent Σ2 formula that only uses the order predicate. This shows that the so-called Central Conjecture of Straubing holds for Σ2 over languages with a neutral letter, the first progress on the Conjecture in more than 20 years. To show the characterization, lower bounds against polynomial-size depth-3 Boolean circuits with constant top fan-in are developed. The heart of the combinatorial argument resides in studying how positions within a language are determined from one another, a technique of independent interest.
对具有一个可在一阶逻辑中表达的中性字母的正则语言进行了表征。具体地说,如果一个任意的Σ2公式定义了一个带有中性字母的正则语言,那么就存在一个等价的Σ2公式,它只使用顺序谓词。这表明,所谓的斯特劳宾中心猜想对于Σ2具有中性字母的语言是成立的,这是20多年来该猜想的第一个进展。为了证明这一特性,给出了具有恒定顶扇入的多项式大小的深度-3布尔电路的下界。组合论证的核心在于研究语言中的位置是如何相互确定的,这是一种独立的兴趣技术。

We study the complexity of the reachability problem for Vector Addition Systems with States (VASSes) in fixed dimensions. We provide four lower bounds improving the currently known state-of-the-art: 1) NP-hardness for unary flat 4-VASSes (VASSes in dimension 4), 2) PSpace-hardness for unary 5-VASSes, 3) ExpSpace-hardness for binary 6-VASSes and 4) Tower-hardness for unary 8-VASSes.

Zero-One Laws and Almost Sure Valuations of First-Order Logic in Semiring Semantics 半环语义中一阶逻辑的零- 1定律和几乎肯定赋值

Semiring semantics evaluates logical statements by values in some commutative semiring (K, +, ·, 0, 1). Random semiring interpretations, induced by a probability distribution on K, generalise random structures, and we investigate here the question of how classical results on first-order logic on random structures, most importantly the 0-1 laws of Glebskii et al. and Fagin, generalise to semiring semantics. For positive semirings, the classical 0-1 law implies that every first-order sentence is, asymptotically, either almost surely evaluated to 0 by random semiring interpretations, or almost surely takes only values different from 0. However, by means of a more sophisticated analysis, based on appropriate extension properties and on algebraic representations of first-order formulae, we can prove much stronger results. For many semirings K the first-order sentences in FO(τ) can be partitioned into classes (Φj)j ∈ K such that for each j ∈ K, every sentence in Φj evaluates almost surely to j under random semiring interpretations. Further, for finite or infinite lattice semirings, this partition actually collapses to just three classes Φ0, Φ1, and Φε, of sentences that, respectively, almost surely evaluate to 0, 1, and to the smallest value ε ≠ 0. For all other values j ∈ K we have that . The problem of computing the almost sure valuation of a first-order sentence on finite lattice semirings is Pspace-complete. Related version: All proofs can be found in the full version of this paper, available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.03425.
半环语义通过一些交换半环(K, +,·,0,1)中的值来评估逻辑语句。随机半环解释,由K上的概率分布引起,推广随机结构,我们在这里研究随机结构上一阶逻辑的经典结果,最重要的是Glebskii等人和Fagin的0-1定律如何推广到半环语义。对于正半环,经典的0-1定律意味着,每个一阶句子要么几乎肯定地通过随机半环解释求值为0,要么几乎肯定地只取不同于0的值。然而,通过更复杂的分析,基于适当的可拓性质和一阶公式的代数表示,我们可以证明更有力的结果。对于许多半环K, FO(τ)中的一阶句子可以划分为类(Φj)j∈K,使得对于每个j∈K, Φj中的每个句子在随机半环解释下几乎肯定地求值为j。此外,对于有限或无限格半环,这个划分实际上只分解为三个类Φ0, Φ1和Φε,分别是几乎肯定求值为0,1和最小值ε≠0的句子。对于所有其他值j∈K,我们有这个。计算有限格半环上一阶句子的几乎确定值的问题是p空间完全问题。相关版本:所有证明都可以在本文的完整版本中找到,可在https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.03425上找到。

Stochastic Games with Synchronizing Objectives 具有同步目标的随机博弈
Pub Date : 2022-02-25 DOI: 10.1145/3531130.3532439
L. Doyen
We consider two-player stochastic games played on a finite graph for infinitely many rounds. Stochastic games generalize both Markov decision processes (MDP) by adding an adversary player, and two-player deterministic games by adding stochasticity. The outcome of the game is a sequence of distributions over the states of the game graph. We consider synchronizing objectives, which require the probability mass to accumulate in a set of target states, either always, once, infinitely often, or always after some point in the outcome sequence; and the winning modes of sure winning (if the accumulated probability is equal to 1) and almost-sure winning (if the accumulated probability is arbitrarily close to 1). We present algorithms to compute the set of winning distributions for each of these synchronizing modes, showing that the corresponding decision problem is PSPACE-complete for synchronizing once and infinitely often, and PTIME-complete for synchronizing always and always after some point. These bounds are remarkably in line with the special case of MDPs, while the algorithmic solution and proof technique are considerably more involved, even for deterministic games. This is because those games have a flavour of imperfect information, in particular they are not determined and randomized strategies need to be considered, even if there is no stochastic choice in the game graph. Moreover, in combination with stochasticity in the game graph, finite-memory strategies are not sufficient in general (for synchronizing infinitely often).
我们考虑在有限图上进行无限回合的两人随机博弈。随机对策通过增加一个对手来推广马尔可夫决策过程,通过增加随机性来推广双参与者确定性对策。游戏的结果是游戏图状态的一系列分布。我们考虑同步目标,它要求概率质量在一组目标状态中积累,或者总是,一次,无限频繁,或者总是在结果序列中的某个点之后;以及确定获胜(如果累积概率等于1)和几乎确定获胜(如果累积概率任意接近1)的获胜模式。我们给出了计算每种同步模式的获胜分布集的算法,表明相应的决策问题对于同步一次和无限频繁来说是PSPACE-complete,对于总是同步和总是在某点之后同步来说是PTIME-complete。这些界限与mdp的特殊情况非常一致,而算法解决方案和证明技术则更加复杂,甚至对于确定性游戏也是如此。这是因为这些游戏带有不完全信息的味道,特别是它们不是确定的,需要考虑随机策略,即使游戏图表中没有随机选择。此外,结合游戏图中的随机性,有限内存策略通常是不够的(对于无限频繁的同步来说)。

Model Checking on Interpretations of Classes of Bounded Local Cliquewidth 局部有界团宽度类解释的模型检验

An interpretation is an operation that maps an input graph to an output graph by redefining its edge relation using a first-order formula. This rich framework includes operations such as taking the complement or a fixed power of a graph as (very) special cases. We prove that there is an FPT algorithm for the first-order model checking problem on classes of graphs which are first-order interpretable in classes of graphs with bounded local cliquewidth. Notably, this includes interpretations of planar graphs, and of classes of bounded genus in general. To obtain this result we develop a new tool which works in a very general setting of NIP classes and which we believe can be an important ingredient in obtaining similar results in the future.
解释是一种操作,通过使用一阶公式重新定义其边缘关系,将输入图映射到输出图。这个丰富的框架包括一些操作,比如将图的补或固定幂作为(非常)特殊的情况。证明了局部团宽有界的图类中一阶可解释图类的一阶模型检验问题存在一种FPT算法。值得注意的是,这包括对平面图和一般有界属类的解释。为了获得这一结果,我们开发了一种新工具,它可以在非常普遍的NIP类设置中工作,我们相信它可以成为将来获得类似结果的重要组成部分。

To obtain this result we develop a new tool which works in a very general setting of NIP classes and which we believe can be an important ingredient in obtaining similar results in the future.","PeriodicalId":373589,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115643271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We study the Radical Identity Testing problem (RIT): Given an algebraic circuit representing a polynomial and nonnegative integers a1, …, ak and d1, …, dk, written in binary, test whether the polynomial vanishes at the real radicals , i.e., test whether . We place the problem in coNP assuming the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), improving on the straightforward PSPACE upper bound obtained by reduction to the existential theory of reals. Next we consider a restricted version, called 2-RIT, where the radicals are square roots of prime numbers, written in binary. It was known since the work of Chen and Kao [16] that 2-RIT is at least as hard as the polynomial identity testing problem, however no better upper bound than PSPACE was known prior to our work. We show that 2-RIT is in coRP assuming GRH and in coNP unconditionally. Our proof relies on theorems from algebraic and analytic number theory, such as the Chebotarev density theorem and quadratic reciprocity.
本文研究了根恒等式检验问题(RIT):给定一个代数电路,表示一个多项式和非负整数a1,…,ak和d1,…,dk,以二进制表示,检验该多项式是否在实数根处消失,即检验是否。我们采用广义黎曼假设(GRH)将问题置于coNP中,改进了通过还原到实数存在论得到的直接PSPACE上界。接下来我们考虑一个限制版本,称为2-RIT,其中的根号是质数的平方根,用二进制表示。自Chen和Kao[16]的工作以来,人们就知道2-RIT至少与多项式恒等检验问题一样难,但在我们的工作之前,没有比PSPACE更好的上界。我们证明了2-RIT在假定GRH条件下存在于coRP,无条件地存在于coNP条件下。我们的证明依赖于代数和解析数论中的定理,如切波塔列夫密度定理和二次互易性。
