  • Formalizing the Curry-Howard Correspondence
    Formalizing the Curry-Howard Correspondence Juan F. Meleiro Hugo L. Mariano [email protected] [email protected] 2019 Abstract The Curry-Howard Correspondence has a long history, and still is a topic of active research. Though there are extensive investigations into the subject, there doesn’t seem to be a definitive formulation of this result in the level of generality that it deserves. In the current work, we intro- duce the formalism of p-institutions that could unify previous aproaches. We restate the tradicional correspondence between typed λ-calculi and propositional logics inside this formalism, and indicate possible directions in which it could foster new and more structured generalizations. Furthermore, we indicate part of a formalization of the subject in the programming-language Idris, as a demonstration of how such theorem- proving enviroments could serve mathematical research.

  • Proofs Are Programs: 19Th Century Logic and 21St Century Computing
    Proofs are Programs: 19th Century Logic and 21st Century Computing Philip Wadler Avaya Labs June 2000, updated November 2000 As the 19th century drew to a close, logicians formalized an ideal notion of proof. They were driven by nothing other than an abiding interest in truth, and their proofs were as ethereal as the mind of God. Yet within decades these mathematical abstractions were realized by the hand of man, in the digital stored-program computer. How it came to be recognized that proofs and programs are the same thing is a story that spans a century, a chase with as many twists and turns as a thriller. At the end of the story is a new principle for designing programming languages that will guide computers into the 21st century. For my money, Gentzen's natural deduction and Church's lambda calculus are on a par with Einstein's relativity and Dirac's quantum physics for elegance and insight. And the maths are a lot simpler. I want to show you the essence of these ideas. I'll need a few symbols, but not too many, and I'll explain as I go along. To simplify, I'll present the story as we understand it now, with some asides to fill in the history. First, I'll introduce Gentzen's natural deduction, a formalism for proofs. Next, I'll introduce Church's lambda calculus, a formalism for programs. Then I'll explain why proofs and programs are really the same thing, and how simplifying a proof corresponds to executing a program.

  • The Theory of Parametricity in Lambda Cube
    数理解析研究所講究録 1217 巻 2001 年 143-157 143 The Theory of Parametricity in Lambda Cube Takeuti Izumi 竹内泉 Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto Univ., 606-8501, JAPAN [email protected] 京都大学情報学研究科 Abstract. This paper defines the theories ofparametricity for all system of lambda cube, and shows its consistency. These theories are defined by the axiom sets in the formal theories. These theories prove various important semantical properties in the formal systems. Especially, the theory for asystem of lambda cube proves some kind of adjoint functor theorem internally. 1Introduction 1.1 Basic Motivation In the studies of informatics, it is important to construct new data types and find out the properties of such data types. For example, let $T$ and $T’$ be data types which is already known. Then we can construct anew data tyPe $T\mathrm{x}T'$ which is the direct product of $T$ and $T’$ . We have functions left, right and pair which satisfy the following equations: left(pair $xy$) $=x$ , right(pair $xy$) $=y$ for any $x:T$ and $y:T’$ , $T\mathrm{x}T'$ pair(left $z$ ) right $z$ ) $=z$ for any $z$ : . As for another example, we can construct Lit(T) which is atype of lists whose components are elements of $T$ . We have the empty list 0as the elements of List(T), the functions (-,-), which is so called sons-pair, and listrec. These element and functions satisfy the following equations: $listrec()fe=e$, listrec(s,l) $fe=fx(listrec lfe)$ for any $x:T$, $l$ :List(T), $e:D$ and $f$ : $Tarrow Darrow D$, where $D$ is another type.

  • Polymorphism All the Way Up! from System F to the Calculus of Constructions
    Programming = proving? The Curry-Howard correspondence today Second lecture Polymorphism all the way up! From System F to the Calculus of Constructions Xavier Leroy College` de France 2018-11-21 Curry-Howard in 1970 An isomorphism between simply-typed λ-calculus and intuitionistic logic that connects types and propositions; terms and proofs; reductions and cut elimination. This second lecture shows how: This correspondence extends to more expressive type systems and to more powerful logics. This correspondence inspired formal systems that are simultaneously a logic and a programming language (Martin-Lof¨ type theory, Calculus of Constructions, Pure Type Systems). 2 I Polymorphism and second-order logic Static typing vs. genericity Static typing with simple types (as in simply-typed λ-calculus but also as in Algol, Pascal, etc) sometimes forces us to duplicate code. Example A sorting algorithm applies to any list list(t) of elements of type t, provided it also receives then function t ! t ! bool that compares two elements of type t. With simple types, to sort lists of integers and lists of strings, we need two functions with dierent types, even if they implement the same algorithm: sort list int :(int ! int ! bool) ! list(int) ! list(int) sort list string :(string ! string ! bool) ! list(string) ! list(string) 4 Static typing vs. genericity There is a tension between static typing on the one hand and reusable implementations of generic algorithms on the other hand. Some languages elect to weaken static typing, e.g. by introducing a universal type “any” or “?” with run-time type checking, or even by turning typing o: void qsort(void * base, size_t nmemb, size_t size, int (*compar)(const void *, const void *)); Instead, polymorphic typing extends the algebra of types and the typing rules so as to give a precise type to a generic function.

Girard additionally proved a Representation Theorem: every function on natural numbers that can be proved total in second-order intuitionistic predicate logic, P2, can be represented in F2. Reynolds additionally proved an Abstrac- tion Theorem: for a suitable notion of logical relation, every term in F2 takes related arguments into related results. We observe that the essence of Girard’s result is a projection from P2 into F2, and that the essence of Reynolds’s result is an embedding of F2 into P2, and that the Reynolds embedding followed by the Girard projection is the identity. The Girard projection discards all first-order quantifiers, so it seems unreasonable to expect that the Girard projection followed by the Reynolds embedding should also be the identity. However, we show that in the presence of Reynolds’s parametricity property that this is indeed the case, for propositions corresponding to inductive definitions of naturals or other algebraic types. © 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).

TinkerType: a language for playing with formal systems Abstract TinkerType is a pragmatic framework for compact and modular description of formal systems (type systems, operational semantics, logics, etc.). A family of related systems is broken down into a set of clauses –- individual inference rules -– and a set of features controlling the inclusion of clauses in particular systems. Simple static checks are used to help maintain consistency of the generated systems. We present TinkerType and its implementation and describe its application to two substantial repositories of typed λ-calculi. The first epositr ory covers a broad range of typing features, including subtyping, polymorphism, type operators and kinding, computational effects, and dependent types. It describes both declarative and algorithmic aspects of the systems, and can be used with our tool, the TinkerType Assembler, to generate calculi either in the form of typeset collections of inference rules or as executable ML typecheckers. The second repository addresses a smaller collection of systems, and provides modularized proofs of basic safety properties.

  • Notes: Barendregt's Cube and Programming with Dependent Types
    Notes: Barendregt's cube and programming with dependent types Eric Lu I. ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY A. Lambda Calculi with Types @incollection{barendregt:1992 author = {Barendregt, Henk}, title = {Lambda Calculi with Types}, booktitle = {Handbook of Logic in Computer Science}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, year = {1992}, editor = {Abramsky, S. and Gabbay, D.M. and Maibaum, T.S.E.}, volume = {2}, pages = {117--309}, address = {New York, New York} } Summary: As setup for introducing the lambda cube, Barendregt introduces the type-free lambda calculus and reviews some of its properties. Subsequently he presents accounts of typed lambda calculi from Curry and Church, including some Curry-style systems not belonging to the lambda cube (λU and λµ). He then describes the lambda cube construction that was first noted by Barendregt in 1991. The lambda cube describes an inclusion relation amongst eight typed lambda calculi. Moreover it explains a fine structure for the calculus of constructions arising from the presence or absence of three axiomatic additions to the simply-typed lambda calculus. The axes of the lambda cube are intuitively justified by the notion of dependency. After introducing the lambda cube, Barendregt gives properties of the languages belonging to the lambda cube, as well as some properties of pure type systems, which generalize the means of description of the axioms of the systems in the lambda cube. Evaluation: This work originates as a reference from the logical/mathematical community, but its content was important in providing a firm foundation for types in programming languages. The lambda cube explains prior work on a number of type systems by observing a taxonomy and relating them to logical systems via the Curry-Howard isomorphism.

The most important judgment is a typing judgment: x1 : A1; x2 : A2;::: xn : An ` b : B The turnstile ` binds most loosely, followed by commas. This should be read as: In the context of variables x1 of type A1, x2 of type A2,..., and xn of type An, the expression b has type B. Examples ` 0: N x : N; y : N ` x + y : N f : R ! R; x : R ` f (x): R 1 (n) 1 f : C (R; R); n: N ` f : C (R; R) 5 / 77 Type constructors The basic rules tell us how to construct valid typing judgments, i.e. how to write programs with given input and output types. This includes: 1 How to construct new types (judgments Γ ` A: Type). 2 How to construct terms of these types. 3 How to use such terms to construct terms of other types. Example (Function types) 1 If A: Type and B : Type, then A ! B : Type. 2 If x : A ` b : B, then λxA:b : A ! B.

The Taming of the Rew A Type Theory with Computational Assumptions JESPER COCKX, TU Delft, Netherlands NICOLAS TABAREAU, Inria, France THÉO WINTERHALTER, Inria, France Dependently typed programming languages and proof assistants such as Agda and Coq rely on computation to automatically simplify expressions during type checking. To overcome the lack of certain programming primitives or logical principles in those systems, it is common to appeal to axioms to postulate their existence. However, one can only postulate the bare existence of an axiom, not its computational behaviour. Instead, users are forced to postulate equality proofs and appeal to them explicitly to simplify expressions, making axioms dramatically more complicated to work with than built-in primitives.
