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.

What Does It Take to Certify a Conversion Checker?

Authors: Meven Lennon-Bertrand

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 337, 10th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2025)

Abstract
We report on a detailed exploration of the properties of conversion (definitional equality) in dependent type theory, with the goal of certifying decision procedures for it. While in that context the property of normalisation has attracted the most light, we instead emphasize the importance of injectivity properties, showing that they alone are both crucial and sufficient to certify most desirable properties of conversion checkers. We also explore the certification of a fully untyped conversion checker, with respect to a typed specification, and show that the story is mostly unchanged, although the exact injectivity properties needed are subtly different.

Fast, Verified Computation for Candle

Authors: Oskar Abrahamsson and Magnus O. Myreen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 268, 14th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2023)

Abstract
This paper describes how we have added an efficient function for computation to the kernel of the Candle interactive theorem prover. Candle is a CakeML port of HOL Light which we have, in prior work, proved sound w.r.t. the inference rules of the higher-order logic. This paper extends the original implementation and soundness proof with a new kernel function for fast computation. Experiments show that the new computation function is able to speed up certain evaluation proofs by several orders of magnitude.

Candle: A Verified Implementation of HOL Light

Authors: Oskar Abrahamsson, Magnus O. Myreen, Ramana Kumar, and Thomas Sewell

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

Abstract
This paper presents a fully verified interactive theorem prover for higher-order logic, more specifically: a fully verified clone of HOL Light. Our verification proof of this new system results in an end-to-end correctness theorem that guarantees the soundness of the entire system down to the machine code that executes at runtime. Our theorem states that every exported fact produced by this machine-code program is valid in higher-order logic. Our implementation consists of a read-eval-print loop (REPL) that executes the CakeML compiler internally. Throughout this work, we have strived to make the REPL of the new system provide a user experience as close to HOL Light’s as possible. To this end, we have, e.g., made the new system parse the same variant of OCaml syntax as HOL Light. All of the work described in this paper has been carried out in the HOL4 theorem prover.

The CakeML Project’s Quest for Ever Stronger Correctness Theorems (Invited Paper)

Authors: Magnus O. Myreen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 193, 12th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2021)

Abstract
The CakeML project has developed a proof-producing code generation mechanism for the HOL4 theorem prover, a verified compiler for ML and, using these, a number of verified application programs that are proved correct down to the machine code that runs them (in some cases, even down to the underlying hardware). The purpose of this extended abstract is to tell the story of the project and to point curious readers to publications where they can read more about specific contributions.
