Logical Relations for PCF
Peter Gammie

We apply Andy Pitts's methods of defining relations over domains to several
classical results in the literature. We show that the Y combinator coincides
with the domain-theoretic fixpoint operator, that parallel-or and the Plotkin
existential are not definable in PCF, that the continuation semantics for PCF
coincides with the direct semantics, and that our domain-theoretic semantics for
PCF is adequate for reasoning about contextual equivalence in an operational
semantics. Our version of PCF is untyped and has both strict and non-strict
function abstractions. The development is carried out in HOLCF.

Enjoy!
