  • Logic and Categories As Tools for Building Theories
    Logic and Categories As Tools For Building Theories Samson Abramsky Oxford University Computing Laboratory 1 Introduction My aim in this short article is to provide an impression of some of the ideas emerging at the interface of logic and computer science, in a form which I hope will be accessible to philosophers. Why is this even a good idea? Because there has been a huge interaction of logic and computer science over the past half-century which has not only played an important r^olein shaping Computer Science, but has also greatly broadened the scope and enriched the content of logic itself.1 This huge effect of Computer Science on Logic over the past five decades has several aspects: new ways of using logic, new attitudes to logic, new questions and methods. These lead to new perspectives on the question: What logic is | and should be! Our main concern is with method and attitude rather than matter; nevertheless, we shall base the general points we wish to make on a case study: Category theory. Many other examples could have been used to illustrate our theme, but this will serve to illustrate some of the points we wish to make. 2 Category Theory Category theory is a vast subject. It has enormous potential for any serious version of `formal philosophy' | and yet this has hardly been realized. We shall begin with introduction to some basic elements of category theory, focussing on the fascinating conceptual issues which arise even at the most elementary level of the subject, and then discuss some its consequences and philosophical ramifications.

By model theory we will mostly mean first order, finitary model theory. Categorical model theory (or, more generally, categorical logic) is a general category-theoretic approach to logic that includes infinitary, intuitionistic, and even multi-valued logics. Say More Later. 3 Chapter I A Brief Survey of Contemporary Model Theory I.1 Some History Up until to the seventies and early eighties, model theory was a very broad subject, including topics such as infinitary logics, generalized quantifiers, and probability logics (which are actually back in fashion today in the form of con- tinuous model theory), and had a very set-theoretic flavour.

  • An Institutional View on Categorical Logic and the Curry-Howard-Tait-Isomorphism
    An Institutional View on Categorical Logic and the Curry-Howard-Tait-Isomorphism Till Mossakowski1, Florian Rabe2, Valeria De Paiva3, Lutz Schr¨oder1, and Joseph Goguen4 1 Department of Computer Science, University of Bremen 2 School of Engineering and Science, International University of Bremen 3 Intelligent Systems Laboratory, Palo Alto Research Center, California 4 Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, University of California, San Diego Abstract. We introduce a generic notion of propositional categorical logic and provide a construction of an institution with proofs out of such a logic, following the Curry-Howard-Tait paradigm. We then prove logic-independent soundness and completeness theorems. The framework is instantiated with a number of examples: classical, intuitionistic, linear and modal propositional logics. Finally, we speculate how this framework may be extended beyond the propositional case. 1 Introduction The well-known Curry-Howard-Tait isomorphism establishes a correspondence between { propositions and types { proofs and terms { proof reductions and term reductions. Moreover, in this context, a number of deep correspondences between cate- gories and logical theories have been established (identifying `types' with `objects in a category'): conjunctive logic cartesian categories [19] positive logic cartesian closed categories [19] intuitionistic propositional logic bicartesian closed categories [19] classical propositional logic bicartesian closed categories with [19] ::-elimination linear logic ∗-autonomous categories [33] first-order logic hyperdoctrines [31] Martin-L¨of type theory locally cartesian closed categories [32] Here, we present work aimed at casting these correspondences in a common framework based on the theory of institutions. The notion of institution arose within computer science as a response to the population explosion among logics in use, with the ambition of doing as much as possible at a level of abstraction independent of commitment to any particular logic [16, 18].

  • Natural Number Objects in Dialectica Categories
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science 305 (2014) 53–65 www.elsevier.com/locate/entcs Natural Number Objects in Dialectica Categories Valeria de Paiva1,2 NLU Research Lab Nuance Communications, Inc. Sunnyvale, CA, USA Charles Morgan3 Department of Mathematics University College London London, United Kingdom Samuel G. da Silva4 Departamento de Matem´atica Universidade Federal da Bahia Salvador, BA, Brazil Abstract This note sets down some facts about natural number objects in the Dialectica category Dial2(Sets). Natural number objects allow us to model G¨odel’s System T in an intrinsically logical fashion. G¨odel’s Dialectica Interpretation is a powerful tool originally used to prove the consistency of arithmetic. It was surprising (but pleasing) to discover, in the late eighties, that studying the Dialectica Interpretation by means of categorical proof theory led to models of Girard’s Linear Logic, in the shape of Dialectica categories. More recently Dialectica Interpretations of (by now established) Linear Logic systems have been studied, but not extended to System T. In this note we set out to to consider notions of natural number objects in the original Dialectica category models of the Interpretation. These should lead to intrinsic notions of linear recursitivity, we hope. Keywords: categorical logic, linear logic, natural numbers object, dialectica categories 1 We gratefully acknowledge support from CNPq for a visit of Valeria de Paiva to the Depto of Matematica of the Universidade Federal da Bahia that allowed us to collaborate in this work. 2 Email: [email protected] 3 Email: [email protected] 4 Email: [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2014.06.005 1571-0661/© 2014 Elsevier B.V.

  • An Institutional View on Categorical Logic
    An Institutional View on Categorical Logic Florian Rabe, Jacobs University Bremen Till Mossakowski, DFKI-Lab Bremen and University of Bremen Valeria de Paiva, Palo Alto Research Center, Palo Alto, California Lutz Schr¨oder, DFKI-Lab Bremen and University of Bremen Joseph Goguen, University of California, San Diego † Abstract We introduce a generic notion of categorical propositional logic and provide a construc- tion of a preorder-enriched institution out of such a logic, following the Curry-Howard-Tait paradigm. The logics are specified as theories of a meta-logic within the logical framework LF such that institution comorphisms are obtained from theory morphisms of the meta- logic. We prove several logic-independent results including soundness and completeness theorems and instantiate our framework with a number of examples: classical, intuition- istic, linear and modal propositional logic. We dedicate this work to the memory of our dear friend and colleague Joseph Goguen who passed away during its preparation. 1 Introduction The well-known Curry-Howard isomorphism [25, 18] establishes a correspondence between propositions and types, and proofs and terms, and proof and term reductions. A number of correspondences between various kinds of logical theories, λ-calculi and categories have been established, see Fig. 1. Here, we present work aimed at casting the propositional part of these correspondences in a common framework based on the theory of institutions. The notion of institution arose within computer science as a response to the population explosion among logics in use [20, 22]. Its key idea is to focus on abstractly axiomatizing the satisfaction relation between sentences and models.

  • Categorical Aspects of Type Theory
    Categorical Aspects of Type Theory Andr´eJoyal UQAM` CMS Meeting, Halifax, June 5, 2013 Introduction Motivation: To understand Martin-L¨oftype theory. Conceptual mathematics ! category theory. Two questions: I Is type theory soluble in category theory? I Is category theory soluble in type theory? I will not discuss the second question here. Overview Aspects of categorical logic: I Locally cartesian closed categories I Tribes Homotopical logic: I Weak factorization systems I Homotopical algebra I Pre-typoi I Typoi I Univalent typoi Aspects of categorical logic The basic principles of categorical logic was expressed in Lawvere's paper Adjointness in Foundation (1969). I will use these principles implicitly. I Locally cartesian closed categories I Tribes I Π-tribes Terminal objects and terms Recall that an object > in a category C is said to be terminal if for every object A 2 C, there is a unique map A ! >. If > is a terminal object, then a map u : > ! A is called I a global section of the object A, u 2 Γ(A) I an element of A, u 2 A I a constant of sort A, u 2 A I a term of type A, u : A. Cartesian product Recall that the cartesian product A × B of two objects A and B in a category C is an object A × B equipped with a pair of projection p1 p2 AAo × B / B having the following universal property: for any object C 2 C and any a pair of maps f g ACo / B; there is a unique map h = hf ; gi : C ! A × B such that p1h = f and p2h = g.

  • A Unified Approach to Algebraic Set Theory
    A Unified Approach to Algebraic Set Theory Benno van den Berg ∗ Ieke Moerdijk† June 22, 2007 1 Introduction This short paper provides a summary of the tutorial on categorical logic given by the second named author at the Logic Colloquium in Nijmegen. Before we go into the subject matter, we would like to express our thanks to the organisers for an excellent conference, and for offering us the opportunity to present this material. Categorical logic studies the relation between category theory and logical languages, and provides a very efficient framework in which to treat the syntax and the model theory on an equal footing. For a given theory T formulated in a suitable language, both the theory itself and its models can be viewed as categories with structure, and the fact that the models are models of the theory corresponds to the existence of canonical functors between these categories. This applies to ordinary models of first order theories, but also to more complicated topological models, forcing models, realisability and dialectica interpretations of intuitionistic arithmetic, domain-theoretic models of the λ-calculus, and so on. One of the best worked out examples is that where T extends the theory HHA of higher order Heyting arithmetic [29], which is closely related to the Lawvere-Tierney theory of elementary toposes. Indeed, every elementary topos (always taken with a natural numbers object here) provides a categorical model for HHA, and the theory HHA itself also corresponds to a particular topos, the “free” one, in which the true sentences are the provable ones. The logic of many particular toposes shares features of independence results in set theory.

  • INTRODUCTION to CATEGORICAL LOGIC 1. Motivation We Want To
    INTRODUCTION TO CATEGORICAL LOGIC JOSEPH HELFER 1. Motivation We want to discuss Logic \from scratch" { that is, without any assumptions about any notions the reader may have of what logic is about or what \mathematical logic" is as a field. We start simply by saying that logic is some part of our experience of reality that we want to understand { something to do with our capacity for thought, and the fact that our thought seems to have some kind of structure, or follow some kind of rules. We first want to identify (at least as a first approximation) what logic is about. As an analogy, physics is also about a part of our experience of reality. Our basic intuition about physics is that it is about physical objects { books, chairs, balls, and the like { and their properties. Indeed, the first (mathematical) physical theories { those of Galileo, Descartes, and Newton { describe the motion of such objects, the forces which act upon them, and so forth. Later, the kinds of things studied by physics { for example fields and thermodynamics systems { become more refined and complicated. Similarly, we start with a simple view of what logic is about, allowing for refinements later on: logic is primarily about propositions and their truth. That is: it is a basic phenomenon that people make statements, and sometimes we observe them to be true (or false), and sometimes it is not immediately clear whether they are true, but we can decide it after some consideration. In logic, then, we are trying to investigate the relation of propositions to their truth, and to our capacity for deciding it.
