Adrienne Lancelot

I am a third year PhD student under the supervision of Beniamino Accattoli (LIX Partout, INRIA) and Giulio Manzonetto (IRIF, Université Paris Cité). Previously on Adrienne's official PhD supervision team: (change made only for admin reasons) Claudia Faggian (IRIF, CNRS).

You may find me at IRIF in office 3026, or sometimes in Saclay in the INRIA lab (Alan Turing building).

Research

I work on untyped lambda-calculus and its variants, investigating operational and denotational semantics. (see my thesis subject.)

Currently: I am actively working on program equivalences in call-by-value lambda-calculi.

What I wish to learn more of : (operational) game semantics, models of the lambda-calculus, Pi-calculus, realizability, fixed-points combinators, induction and coinduction, cyclic proofs …

Papers

  • Barendregt's Theory of the Lambda-Calculus, Refreshed and Formalized – Lancelot, Accattoli and Vemclefs, submitted with an Abella formalization.
  • Separating Terms by Means of Multi Types, Coinductively – Lancelot, accepted to the post-proceedings of TYPES 2024.
  • Interaction Equivalence – Accattoli, Lancelot, Manzonetto and Vanoni, POPL 2025 (paper – with proofs)
  • Mirroring Call-by-Need, or Values Acting Silly – Accattoli and Lancelot, FSCD 2024 (paper – with proofs)
  • Light Genericity – Accattoli and Lancelot, FoSSaCS 2024 (paper – with proofs)
  • Normal Form Bisimulations by Value – Accattoli, Lancelot and Faggian (technical report)
