Abstract

The relationship between Boolean proof nets of multiplicative linear logic (APN) and Boolean circuits has been studied [Ter04] in a non-uniform setting. We refine this results by taking care of uniformity: the relationship can be expressed in term of the (Turing) polynomial hierarchy. We give a proofs-as-programs correspondence between proof nets and deterministic as well as non-deterministic Boolean circuits with a uniform depth-preserving simulation of each other. The Boolean proof nets class m&BN(poly) is built on multiplicative and additive linear logic with a polynomial amount of additive connectives as the non-deterministic circuit class NNC (poly) is with non-deterministic variables. We obtain uniform-APN = NC and m&BN(poly) = NNC(poly) = NP.
