Constructive Cut Elimination in Geometric Logic

Authors: Giulio Fellin, Sara Negri, and Eugenio Orlandelli

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 239, 27th International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2021)

Abstract

A constructivisation of the cut-elimination proof for sequent calculi for classical and intuitionistic infinitary logic with geometric rules - given in earlier work by the second author - is presented. This is achieved through a procedure in which the non-constructive transfinite induction on the commutative sum of ordinals is replaced by two instances of Brouwer’s Bar Induction. Additionally, a proof of Barr’s Theorem for geometric theories that uses only constructively acceptable proof-theoretical tools is obtained.

Geometric Logic, Constructivisation, and Automated Theorem Proving (Dagstuhl Seminar 21472)

Authors: Thierry Coquand, Hajime Ishihara, Sara Negri, and Peter M. Schuster

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 11, Issue 10 (2022)

Abstract

At least from a practical and contemporary angle, the time-honoured question about the extent of intuitionistic mathematics rather is to which extent any given proof is effective, which proofs of which theorems can be rendered effective, and whether and how numerical information such as bounds and algorithms can be extracted from proofs. All this is ideally done by manipulating proofs mechanically or by adequate metatheorems, which includes proof translations, automated theorem proving, program extraction from proofs, proof analysis and proof mining. The question should thus be put as: What is the computational content of proofs? Guided by this central question, the present Dagstuhl seminar puts a special focus on coherent and geometric theories and their generalisations. These are not only widespread in mathematics and non-classical logics such as temporal and modal logics, but also a priori amenable for constructivisation, e.g., by Barr’s Theorem, and last but not least particularly suited as a basis for automated theorem proving. Specific topics include categorical semantics for geometric theories, complexity issues of and algorithms for geometrisation of theories including speed-up questions, the use of geometric theories in constructive mathematics including finding algorithms, proof-theoretic presentation of sheaf models and higher toposes, and coherent logic for automatically readable proofs.
