Ordered combinatory algebras and realizability†
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 September 2015
Abstract
We propose the new concept of Krivine ordered combinatory algebra ($\mathcal{^KOCA}$) as foundation for the categorical study of Krivine's classical realizability, as initiated by Streicher (2013).
We show that $\mathcal{^KOCA}$'s are equivalent to Streicher's abstract Krivine structures for the purpose of modeling higher-order logic, in the precise sense that they give rise to the same class of triposes. The difference between the two representations is that the elements of a
$\mathcal{^KOCA}$ play both the role of truth values and realizers, whereas truth values are sets of realizers in
$\mathcal{AKS}$s.
To conclude, we give a direct presentation of the realizability interpretation of a higher order language in a $\mathcal{^KOCA}$, which showcases the dual role that is played by the elements of the
$\mathcal{^KOCA}$.
