Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "This dissertation studies the logical aspects of domains as used in the denotational semantics of programming languages. Frameworks of domain logics are introduced which serve as basic tools for the systematic derivation of proof systems from the denotational semantics of programming languages. The proof systems so derived are guaranteed to agree with the denotational semantics in the sense that the denotation of any program coincides with the set of assertions true of it. The study focuses on two frameworks for denotational semantics: the SFP domains, and the less standard, but important, category of dI-domains with stable functions
An extended form of Scott's information systems are introduced to represent SFP objects. They provide better understanding of the structure of finite elements and open sets of domains. These systems generalise to a logic of SFP which uses inequational formulae to axiomatise entailment and non-entailment of open-set assertions. Soundness, completeness, and expressiveness results of the logic are obtained, and possible applications are investigated. A mu-calculus of Scott domains is introduced to extend the expressive power of the assertion language
Special kinds of open sets called stable neighborhoods are introduced and shown to determine stable functions in a similar sense to that in which Scott-open sets determine continuous functions. Properties and constructions of stable neighborhoods on various categories of dI-domains are investigated. Logical frameworks for Girard's coherent spaces and Berry's dI-domains are given in which assertions are interpreted as stable neighborhoods. Various soundness, completeness, and expressiveness results are provided.
