Reflexive Tactics for Algebra, Revisited

Authors: Kazuhiko Sakaguchi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 237, 13th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2022)

Abstract

Computational reflection allows us to turn verified decision procedures into efficient automated reasoning tools in proof assistants. The typical applications of such methodology include decidable algebraic theories such as equational theories of commutative rings and lattices. However, such existing tools are known not to cooperate with packed classes, a methodology to define mathematical structures in dependent type theory, that allows for the sharing of vocabulary across the inheritance hierarchy. Moreover, such tools do not support homomorphisms whose domain and codomain types may differ. This paper demonstrates how to implement reflexive tactics that support packed classes and homomorphisms. As applications of our methodology, we adapt the ring and field tactics of Coq to the commutative ring and field structures of the Mathematical Components library, and apply the resulting tactics to the formal proof of the irrationality of ζ(3) by Chyzak, Mahboubi, and Sibut-Pinote. As a result, the lines of code in the proof scripts have been reduced by 8%, and the time required for proof checking has been decreased by 27%.

Hierarchy Builder: Algebraic hierarchies Made Easy in Coq with Elpi (System Description)

Authors: Cyril Cohen, Kazuhiko Sakaguchi, and Enrico Tassi

Abstract

It is nowadays customary to organize libraries of machine checked proofs around hierarchies of algebraic structures. One influential example is the Mathematical Components library on top of which the long and intricate proof of the Odd Order Theorem could be fully formalized. Still, building algebraic hierarchies in a proof assistant such as Coq requires a lot of manual labor and often a deep expertise in the internals of the prover. Moreover, according to our experience, making a hierarchy evolve without causing breakage in client code is equally tricky: even a simple refactoring such as splitting a structure into two simpler ones is hard to get right. In this paper we describe HB, a high level language to build hierarchies of algebraic structures and to make these hierarchies evolve without breaking user code. The key concepts are the ones of factory, builder and abbreviation that let the hierarchy developer describe an actual interface for their library. Behind that interface the developer can provide appropriate code to ensure backward compatibility. We implement the HB language in the hierarchy-builder addon for the Coq system using the Elpi extension language.
