Abstract

We present a formalization of a linear version of Abadi and Plotkin's logic for parametricity for a polymorphic dual intuitionistic / linear type theory with fixed points, and show, following Plotkin's suggestions, that it can be used to define a wide collection of types, including solutions to recursive domain equations.
We further define a notion of parametric LAPL-structure and prove that it provides a sound and complete class of models for the logic.
Finally, we present a concrete parametric parametric LAPL-structure based on suitable categories of partial equivalence relations over a universal model of the untyped lambda calculus.
