In this paper we briefly summarize the contents of Manzonettos PhD thesis which concerns denotational semantics and equational/order theories of the pure untyped lambda-calculus. The main research achievements include: (i) a general construction of lambda-models from reflexive objects in (possibly non-well-pointed) categories; (ii) a Stone-style representation theorem for combinatory algebras; (iii) a proof that no effective lambda-model can have lambda-beta or lambda-beta-eta as its equational theory (this can be seen as a partial answer to an open problem introduced by Honsell-Ronchi Della Rocca in 1984).
We introduce two extensions of the $lambda$-calculus with a probabilistic choice operator, $Lambda_oplus^{cbv}$ and $Lambda_oplus^{cbn}$, modeling respectively call-by-value and call-by-name probabilistic computation. We prove that both enjoys conflu
This is a set of lecture notes that developed out of courses on the lambda calculus that I taught at the University of Ottawa in 2001 and at Dalhousie University in 2007 and 2013. Topics covered in these notes include the untyped lambda calculus, the
We introduce a simple extension of the $lambda$-calculus with pairs---called the distributive $lambda$-calculus---obtained by adding a computational interpretation of the valid distributivity isomorphism $A Rightarrow (Bwedge C) equiv (ARightarrow
We study polymorphic type assignment systems for untyped lambda-calculi with effects, based on Moggis monadic approach. Moving from the abstract definition of monads, we introduce a version of the call-by-value computational lambda-calculus based on
We define sound and adequate denotational and operational semantics for the stochastic lambda calculus. These two semantic approaches build on previous work that used similar techniques to reason about higher-order probabilistic programs, but for the
