    This paper defines homology groups for paired graphs, i.e. abstract proof-structures in multiplicative linear logic. It is shown that these groups characterize proof-nets among arbitrary graphs, thus providing a new correctness criterion which is decidable by means of a standard polynomial algorithm. This homology also bears information on sequentialization. A geometrical interpretation of the linear connectives is also given.
