Researchers Develop Method for Direct Generation of Regulatory DNA
Researchers at HSE University have developed a model for generating promoters and enhancers—DNA sequences that regulate gene activity. The model works directly with DNA nucleotides, without first transforming them into a continuous numerical representation. This solution could be useful for applications in synthetic biology and gene therapy. The study results were presented at the ICLR 2026 Workshop ‘Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers.’

Cobordisms and Commutative Categorial Grammars

Journal of Cognitive Science. 2021. Vol. 22. No. 2. P. 68–91.
Sergey Slavnov

We propose a concrete surface representation of abstract categorial grammars in the category of word cobordisms or cowordisms
for short, which are certain bipartite graphs decorated withwords in a given alphabet, generalizing linear logic proof-nets.
We also introduce and study linear logic grammars, directly based on cobordisms and using classical multiplicative linear logic
as a typing system.

Orbifold Saito theory of A and D type singularities
Basalaev A., Rarovskii A., Journal of Singularities 2026 Vol. 30 P. 61–80
Saito theory associates to an isolated singularity rich structure that plays an important role in mirror symmetry. In this note we construct Saito theory for A and D type Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds. Namely, for the pairs (f,G), where f defines an isolated singularity of A and D type and G is a group of symmetries of ...

Non-axiomatizability of modal predicate logics of Dedekind-complete linear orders with constant domains
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., Journal of Logic and Computation 2026 Vol. 36 No. 6 Article exag026
We prove Pi-1-1-hardness, and thus lack of recursive axiomatizability, of constant-domain modal predicate logics defined by a class of Dedekind complete linear Kripke frames containing a frame with an infinitely increasing chain of worlds. The result holds even for the language with one unary predicate letter, one propositional letter, and two individual variables. ...

Semi-Interlaced Polytopes
Селянин Ф. И., Moscow Mathematical Journal 2026 Vol. 26 No. 2 P. 167–187
Minkowski mixed volume of n subpolytopes D1,…,Dn of a polytope P⊂Rn clearly does not exceed the normalized volume n!Vol(P). Equality holds if and only if the subpolytopes are interlaced, i.e., each proper face F⊊P intersects at least dim(F)+1 of the polytopes Di. Efficiently computing mixed volumes for more general collections of subpolytopes is crucial for estimating the complexity of numerically solving polynomial systems. Motivated by relaxing the bound dim(F)+1 to dim(F), we ...

We prove a recent conjecture of the fourth named author with P. Norbury that states a system of universal polynomial relations among the kappa classes on the moduli spaces of algebraic curves. The proof involves localization and materialization analysis of the spin Gromov–Witten theory of the projective line and is dictated by Z 2 -equivariant ...

Making first order linear logic a generating grammar
Sergey Slavnov, Logical Methods in Computer Science 2023 Vol. 19 No. 4
It is known that different categorial grammars have surface representation in a fragment of first order multiplicative linear logic (MLL1). We show that the fragment of interest is equivalent to the recently introduced extended tensor type calculus (ETTC). ETTC is a calculus of specific typed terms, which represent tuples of strings, more precisely bipartite graphs ...

Language models for some extensions of the Lambek calculus
Kanovich M., Kuznetsov S., Scedrov A., Information and Computation 2022 Vol. 287 Article 104760
We investigate language interpretations of two extensions of the Lambek calculus: with additive conjunction and disjunction and with additive conjunction and the unit constant. For extensions with additive connectives, we show that conjunction and disjunction behave differently. Adding both of them leads to incompleteness due to the distributivity law. We show that with conjunction only ...

Linear logic in normed cones: probabilistic coherence spaces and beyond

Ehrhard et al. (2018. Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages, POPL 2, Article 59.) proposed a model of probabilistic functional programming in a category of normed positive cones and stable measurable cone maps, which can be seen as a coordinate-free generalization of probabilistic coherence spaces (PCSs). However, unlike the case of PCSs, it remained unclear ...

On embedding Lambek calculus into commutative categorial grammars
Slavnov S. A., Journal of Logic and Computation 2022 Vol. 32 No. 3 P. 479–517
We consider tensor grammars, which are an example of ‘commutative’ grammars, based on the classical (rather than intuitionistic) linear logic. They can be seen as a surface representation of abstract categorial grammars (ACG) in the sense that derivations of ACG translate to derivations of tensor grammars and this translation is isomorphic on the level of string ...

Reconciling Lambek's restriction, cut-elimination, and substitution in the presence of exponential modalities
Kanovich M., Kuznetsov S., Scedrov A., Journal of Logic and Computation 2020 Vol. 30 No. 1 P. 239–256
The Lambek calculus can be considered as a version of non-commutative intuitionistic linear logic. One of the interesting features of the Lambek calculus is the so-called ‘Lambek’s restriction’, i.e. the antecedent of any provable sequent should be non-empty. In this paper, we discuss ways of extending the Lambek calculus with the linear logic exponential modality ...

On noncommutative extensions of linear logic

Pomset logic introduced by Retoré is an extension of linear logic with a self-dual noncommutative connective. The logic is defined by means of proof-nets, rather than a sequent calculus. Later a deep inference system BV was developed with an eye to capturing Pomset logic, but equivalence of system has not been proven up to now. ...

In his recent papers “Parsing/theorem-proving for logical grammar CatLog3” and “A note on movement in logical grammar”, Glyn Morrill proposes a new substructural calculus to be used as the basis for the categorial grammar parser CatLog3. In this paper we prove that the derivability problem for a fragment of this calculus is algorithmically undecidable. ...

On Banach spaces of sequences and free linear logic exponential modality

We introduce a category of vector spaces modelling full propositional linear logic, similar to probabilistic coherence spaces and to Koethe sequences spaces. Its objects are rigged sequence spaces, Banach spaces of sequences, with norms defined from pairing with finite sequences, and morphisms are bounded linear maps, continuous in a suitable topology. The main interest of the ...

Lambek calculus is a logical foundation of categorial grammar, a linguistic paradigm of grammar as logic and parsing as deduction. Pentus (2010) gave a polynomial-time algorithm for determining provability of bounded depth formulas in L* , the Lambek calculus with empty antecedents allowed. Pentus’ algorithm is based on tabularisation of proof nets. Lambek calculus with ...
