Lévy-Longo Trees and Böhm Trees are the best known tree structures on the λ-calculus. We give general conditions under which an encoding of the λ-calculus into the π-calculus is sound and complete with respect to such trees. We apply these conditions to various encodings of the call-by-name λ-calculus, showing how the two kinds of tree can be...

We study the behavioural theory of πP, a π-calculus in the tradition of Fusions and Chi calculi. In contrast with such calculi, reduction in πP generates a preorder on names rather than an equivalence relation. We present two characterisations of barbed congruence in πP: the first is based on a compositional LTS, and the second is an...
