Abstract

The notion of isomorphisms oft types has many theoretical as well as practical consequences, and isomorphisms of types have been investigated at length over the past years. Isomorphisms in weak system (like linear lambda calculus) have recently been investigated due to their practical interest in library search. In this paper we give a remarkably simple and elegant characterization of linear isomorphisms in the setting of Multiplicative Linear Logic (MLL), by making an essential use of the correctness criterion for Proof Nets due to Girard.
