Abstract

We present a formalization of HO\(\pi \) in Coq, a process calculus where messages carry processes. Such a higher-order calculus features two very different kinds of binder: process input, similar to \(\lambda \)-abstraction, and name restriction, whose scope can be expanded by communication. For the latter, we compare four approaches to represent binders: locally nameless, de Bruijn indices, nominal, and Higher-Order Abstract Syntax. In each case, we formalize strong context bisimilarity and prove it is compatible, i.e., closed under every context, using Howe’s method, based on several proof schemes we developed in a previous paper.

1
In the code, we define coercions from respectively and to
 
2
Charguéraud [13] denotes this property as locally closed, but we prefer to use a different term, as our notion of closed process refers to process variables and not names.
 
3
Regular HOAS, which relies on functions from terms to terms, cannot be used in Coq to define the syntax of some object language L, as inductive types of the form \((L \rightarrow L) \rightarrow L\) are not allowed [18].
 
4
Process functions can be seen as contexts, since they map name to terms.
