Simple game semantics and Day convolution


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Game semantics has provided adequate models for a variety of programming languages, in which types are interpreted as two-player games and programs as strategies. Melli`es (2018) suggested that such categories of games and strategies may be obtained as instances of a simple abstract construction on weak double categories. However, in the particular case of simple games, his construction slightly differs from the standard category. We refine the abstract construction using factorisation systems, and show that the new construction yields the standard category of simple games and strategies. Another perhaps surprising instance is Days convolution monoidal structure on the category of presheaves over a strict monoidal category.
