A Modular Framework for Proof-Search via Formalised Modal Completeness in HOL Light

Authors: Antonella Bilotta, Marco Maggesi, and Cosimo Perini Brogi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 363, 34th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2026)

Abstract
We extend the existing HOL Light Library for Modal Systems (HOLMS) to support a modular implementation of modal reasoning within the HOL Light proof assistant. We deeply embed axiomatic calculi and relational semantics for seven normal modal logics (K, T, B, K4, S4, S5, GL) and formalise modal adequacy theorems for these systems. We then leverage those formalisations to implement a mechanism for automated reasoning via proof-search in the associated labelled sequent calculi, which we shallowly embed in HOL Light’s goal-stack mechanism. This way, we equip the general-purpose proof assistant with (semi)decision procedures for these logics that, in case of failure to construct a proof for the input formula, return a certified countermodel within the appropriate class for the logic under consideration. On the methodological side, we propose a precise measure of the modularity of our approach by systematically adopting Christopher Strachey’s distinction between ad hoc and parametric polymorphism throughout the library.

Cyclic Proof Theory of Generalised Inductive Definitions

Authors: Gianluca Curzi and Lukas Melgaard

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 363, 34th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2026)

Abstract
We study cyclic proof systems for μPA, an extension of Peano arithmetic by generalised inductive definitions that is arithmetically equivalent to the (impredicative) subsystem of second-order arithmetic Π^1_2-CA₀ by Möllerfeld. The main result of this paper is that cyclic and inductive μPA have the same proof-theoretic strength. First, we translate cyclic proofs into an annotated variant based on Sprenger and Dam’s systems for first-order μ-calculus, whose stronger validity condition allows for a simpler proof of soundness. We then formalise this argument within Π^1_2-CA₀, leveraging Möllerfeld’s conservativity properties. To this end, we build on prior work by Curzi and Das on the reverse mathematics of the Knaster-Tarski theorem. As a byproduct of our proof methods we show that, despite the stronger validity condition, annotated and "plain" cyclic proofs for μPA prove the same theorems. This work represents a further step in the non-wellfounded proof-theoretic analysis of theories of arithmetic via impredicative fragments of second-order arithmetic, an approach initiated by Simpson’s Cyclic Arithmetic, and continued by Das and Melgaard in the context of arithmetical inductive definitions.

A Cyclic Proof System for Full Computation Tree Logic

Authors: Bahareh Afshari, Graham E. Leigh, and Guillermo Menéndez Turata

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 252, 31st EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2023)

Abstract
Full Computation Tree Logic, commonly denoted CTL*, is the extension of Linear Temporal Logic LTL by path quantification for reasoning about branching time. In contrast to traditional Computation Tree Logic CTL, the path quantifiers are not bound to specific linear modalities, resulting in a more expressive language. We present a sound and complete hypersequent calculus for CTL*. The proof system is cyclic in the sense that proofs are finite derivation trees with back-edges. A syntactic success condition on non-axiomatic leaves guarantees soundness. Completeness is established by relating cyclic proofs to a natural ill-founded sequent calculus for the logic.
