A Canonical Form for Universe Levels in Impredicative Type Theory

Authors: Yoan Géran

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

Abstract
The 0-imax-successor algebra, where imax: ℕ × ℕ → ℕ is the function defined by imax(n, 0) = 0 and imax(n, S(m)) = max(n, S(m)), is used to represent universe levels in impredicative type theory, in particular with universe polymorphism which introduces level variables, so it is present in proof systems such as Rocq and Lean. In particular, we need to know when two elements of this algebra are equivalent, and we may also want to decide the inequality. In this article, we introduce a canonical form for the terms of this algebra, and we provide a canonization algorithm. It permits deciding level equivalence by checking the canonical form equality, and also permits easily checking if a level is smaller than another one.

Improving the SMT Proof Reconstruction Pipeline in Isabelle/HOL

Authors: Hanna Lachnitt, Mathias Fleury, Haniel Barbosa, Jibiana Jakpor, Bruno Andreotti, Andrew Reynolds, Hans-Jörg Schurr, Clark Barrett, and Cesare Tinelli

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
Sledgehammer is a tool that increases the level of automation in the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant by asking external automatic theorem provers (ATPs), including SMT solvers, to prove the current goal. When the external ATP succeeds it must provide enough evidence that the goal holds for Isabelle to be able to reprove it internally based on that evidence. In particular, Isabelle can do this by replaying fine-grained proof certificates from proof-producing SMT solvers as long as they are expressed in the Alethe format, which until now was supported only by the veriT SMT solver. We report on our experience adding proof reconstruction support for the cvc5 SMT solver in Isabelle by extending cvc5 to produce proofs in the Alethe format and then adapting Isabelle to reconstruct those proofs. We discuss several difficulties and pitfalls we encountered and describe a set of tools and techniques we developed to improve the process. A notable outcome of this effort is that Isabelle can now be used as an independent proof checker for SMT problems written in the SMT-LIB standard. We evaluate cvc5’s integration on a set of SMT-LIB benchmarks originating from Isabelle as well as on a set of Isabelle proofs. Our results confirm that this integration complements and improves Sledgehammer’s capabilities.

Linking Focusing and Resolution with Selection

Authors: Guillaume Burel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 117, 43rd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2018)

Abstract
Focusing and selection are techniques that shrink the proof search space for respectively sequent calculi and resolution. To bring out a link between them, we generalize them both: we introduce a sequent calculus where each occurrence of an atom can have a positive or a negative polarity; and a resolution method where each literal, whatever its sign, can be selected in input clauses. We prove the equivalence between cut-free proofs in this sequent calculus and derivations of the empty clause in that resolution method. Such a generalization is not semi-complete in general, which allows us to consider complete instances that correspond to theories of any logical strength. We present three complete instances: first, our framework allows us to show that ordinary focusing corresponds to hyperresolution and semantic resolution; the second instance is deduction modulo theory; and a new setting, not captured by any existing framework, extends deduction modulo theory with rewriting rules having several left-hand sides, which restricts even more the proof search space.
