Résumé: Probabilistic Rewriting
Description: Claudia Faggian We investigate how techniques from Rewrite Theory can help us to study calculi whose evaluation is both probabilistic and non-deterministic (think untyped probabilistic lambda-calculus, in which non-determinism arises from choosing between
different redexes). We are interested in relations between week and strong normalization, and whatever the result is unique. In particular, we characterize the properties “non-determinism is irrelevant” and “strategy A is always better than strategy B”.

As an application, it turns out that probabilistic lambda-calculus equipped
with weak call-by-value reduction has striking properties.
