Towards Solid Abelian Groups: A Formal Proof of Nöbeling’s Theorem

Authors: Dagur Asgeirsson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 309, 15th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2024)


Abstract
Condensed mathematics, developed by Clausen and Scholze over the last few years, is a new way of studying the interplay between algebra and geometry. It replaces the concept of a topological space by a more sophisticated but better-behaved idea, namely that of a condensed set. Central to the theory are solid abelian groups and liquid vector spaces, analogues of complete topological groups. Nöbeling’s theorem, a surprising result from the 1960s about the structure of the abelian group of continuous maps from a profinite space to the integers, is a crucial ingredient in the theory of solid abelian groups; without it one cannot give any nonzero examples of solid abelian groups. We discuss a recently completed formalisation of this result in the Lean theorem prover, and give a more detailed proof than those previously available in the literature. The proof is somewhat unusual in that it requires induction over ordinals - a technique which has not previously been used to a great extent in formalised mathematics.

The Directed Van Kampen Theorem in Lean

Authors: Henning Basold, Peter Bruin, and Dominique Lawson

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 309, 15th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2024)


Abstract
Directed topology augments the concept of a topological space with a notion of directed paths. This leads to a category of directed spaces, in which the morphisms are continuous maps respecting directed paths. Directed topology thereby enables an accurate representation of computation paths in concurrent systems that usually cannot be reversed. Even though ideas from algebraic topology have analogues in directed topology, the directedness drastically changes how spaces can be characterised. For instance, while an important homotopy invariant of a topological space is its fundamental groupoid, for directed spaces this has to be replaced by the fundamental category because directed paths are not necessarily reversible. In this paper, we present a Lean 4 formalisation of directed spaces and of a Van Kampen theorem for them, which allows the fundamental category of a directed space to be computed in terms of the fundamental categories of subspaces. Part of this formalisation is also a significant theory of directed spaces, directed homotopy theory and path coverings, which can serve as basis for future formalisations of directed topology. The formalisation in Lean can also be used in computer-assisted reasoning about the behaviour of concurrent systems that have been represented as directed spaces.

An Isabelle/HOL Formalization of Narrowing and Multiset Narrowing for E-Unifiability, Reachability and Infeasibility

Authors: Dohan Kim

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 309, 15th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2024)


Abstract
We present an Isabelle/HOL formalization of narrowing for E-unifiability, reachability, and infeasibility. Given a semi-complete rewrite system ℛ and two terms s and t, we show a formalized proof that if narrowing terminates, then it provides a decision procedure for ℛ-unifiability for s and t, where ℛ is viewed as a set of equations. Furthermore, we present multiset narrowing and its formalization for multiset reachability and reachability analysis, providing decision procedures using certain restricted conditions on multiset reachability and reachability problems. Our multiset narrowing also provides a complete method for E-unifiability problems consisting of multiple goals if E can be represented by a complete rewrite system.

Formal Verification of the Empty Hexagon Number

Authors: Bernardo Subercaseaux, Wojciech Nawrocki, James Gallicchio, Cayden Codel, Mario Carneiro, and Marijn J. H. Heule

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 309, 15th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2024)


Abstract
A recent breakthrough in computer-assisted mathematics showed that every set of 30 points in the plane in general position (i.e., no three points on a common line) contains an empty convex hexagon. Heule and Scheucher solved this problem with a combination of geometric insights and automated reasoning techniques by constructing CNF formulas ϕ_n, with O(n⁴) clauses, such that if ϕ_n is unsatisfiable then every set of n points in general position must contain an empty convex hexagon. An unsatisfiability proof for n = 30 was then found with a SAT solver using 17 300 CPU hours of parallel computation. In this paper, we formalize and verify this result in the Lean theorem prover. Our formalization covers ideas in discrete computational geometry and SAT encoding techniques by introducing a framework that connects geometric objects to propositional assignments. We see this as a key step towards the formal verification of other SAT-based results in geometry, since the abstractions we use have been successfully applied to similar problems. Overall, we hope that our work sets a new standard for the verification of geometry problems relying on extensive computation, and that it increases the trust the mathematical community places in computer-assisted proofs.

Clausal Congruence Closure

Authors: Armin Biere, Katalin Fazekas, Mathias Fleury, and Nils Froleyks

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 305, 27th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2024)


Abstract
Many practical applications of satisfiability solving employ multiple steps to encode an original problem formulation into conjunctive normal form. Often circuits are used as intermediate representation before encoding those circuits into clausal form. These circuits however might contain redundant isomorphic sub-circuits. If blindly translated into clausal form, this redundancy is retained and increases solving time unless specific preprocessing algorithms are used. Furthermore, such redundant sub-formula structure might only emerge during solving and needs to be addressed by inprocessing. This paper presents a new approach which extracts gate information from the formula and applies congruence closure to match and eliminate redundant gates. Besides new algorithms for gate extraction, we also describe previous unpublished attempts to tackle this problem. Experiments focus on the important problem of combinational equivalence checking for hardware designs and show that our new approach yields a substantial gain in CNF solver performance.

Strategy Extraction by Interpolation

Authors: Friedrich Slivovsky

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 305, 27th International Conference on Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing (SAT 2024)


Abstract
In applications, QBF solvers are often required to generate strategies. This typically involves a process known as strategy extraction, where a Boolean circuit encoding a strategy is computed from a proof. It has previously been observed that Craig interpolation in propositional logic can be seen as a special case of QBF strategy extraction. In this paper we explore this connection further and show that, conversely, any strategy for a false QBF corresponds to a sequence of interpolants in its complete (Herbrand) expansion. Inspired by this correspondence, we present a new strategy extraction algorithm for the expansion-based proof system Exp+Res. Its asymptotic running time matches the best known bound of O(mn) for a proof with m lines and n universally quantified variables. We report on experiments comparing this algorithm with a strategy extraction algorithm based on combining partial strategies, as well as with round-based strategy extraction.

Invited Talk
Lean: Past, Present, and Future (Invited Talk)

Authors: Sebastian Ullrich

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)


Abstract
The Lean programming language and theorem prover project is celebrating its tenth birthday this year, having been started by Leonardo de Moura at Microsoft Research and first release as Lean 0.1 in 2014. In this invited talk, I will review Lean’s history and unique features and discuss our roadmap for its bright future. Corresponding to its major versions ranging from Lean 0.1 to the current version of Lean 4, the focus of the Lean project has evolved over the years. Initially intended as a platform for developing white-box automation, in contrast to the usual black-box approach of stand-alone SMT solvers [de Moura and Passmore, 2013], the system gathered more conventional features of dependently-typed interactive theorem provers as well as an initial crowd of interested mathematicians and computer scientists with its first official release as Lean 2 in 2015 [Leonardo de Moura et al., 2015]. Lean 3 in 2017 introduced user-extensible automation by extending Lean from a specification language to an accessible metaprogramming language [Gabriel Ebner et al., 2017], further accelerating growth of its mathematical library that was spun out into the separate Mathlib project [{The mathlib Community}, 2020]. Spurred by the success but also limitations of this extensibility, we started work on the next version Lean 4 in 2018 [Leonardo de Moura and Sebastian Ullrich, 2021] with the goal of turning Lean into a general-purpose programming language that would allow us to reimplement Lean in Lean itself and thereby make many more aspects of the system user-extensible, in a more efficient manner [Sebastian Ullrich, 2023]. This to date largest rework of Lean’s implementation was completed in 2023 with the official release of Lean 4.0.0, further supporting Mathlib’s growth to more than 1.5 million lines of code at the time of writing as well as improving support for many other applications such as software verification. In 2023, Lean also saw its largest organizational change when Leo and I created the Lean Focused Research Organization (FRO) to bundle and support development of Lean in a dedicated organization for the first time. Thanks to gracious support from philanthropic sponsors, an unprecedented number of currently twelve people now work on the evolution of Lean at the Lean FRO. And there is much left to do: with our new team size, we can now support development on much more than only core features, such as documentation, a robust standard library, and user interfaces and experience as well as a return to the original topic of advanced proof automation. The Lean FRO is committed to ensuring and extending Lean’s applicability in education, research, and industry and to leading it into the next decade of Lean development and beyond.

Simulating Dependency Pairs by Semantic Labeling

Authors: Teppei Saito and Nao Hirokawa

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)


Abstract
We show that termination proofs by a version of the dependency pair method can be simulated by semantic labeling plus multiset path orders. By incorporating a flattening technique into multiset path orders the simulation result can be extended to the dependency pair method for relative termination, introduced by Iborra et al. This result allows us to improve applicability of their dependency pair method.

On the Complexity of the Small Term Reachability Problem for Terminating Term Rewriting Systems

Authors: Franz Baader and Jürgen Giesl

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)


Abstract
Motivated by an application where we try to make proofs for Description Logic inferences smaller by rewriting, we consider the following decision problem, which we call the small term reachability problem: given a term rewriting system R, a term s, and a natural number n, decide whether there is a term t of size ≤ n reachable from s using the rules of R. We investigate the complexity of this problem depending on how termination of R can be established. We show that the problem is NP-complete for length-reducing term rewriting systems. Its complexity increases to N2ExpTime-complete (NExpTime-complete) if termination is proved using a (linear) polynomial order and to PSpace-complete for systems whose termination can be shown using a restricted class of Knuth-Bendix orders. Confluence reduces the complexity to P for the length-reducing case, but has no effect on the worst-case complexity in the other two cases.

Impredicativity, Cumulativity and Product Covariance in the Logical Framework Dedukti

Authors: Thiago Felicissimo and Théo Winterhalter

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)


Abstract
Proof assistants such as Coq implement a type theory featuring three important features: impredicativity, cumulativity and product covariance. This combination has proven difficult to be expressed in the logical framework Dedukti, and previous attempts have failed in providing an encoding that is proven confluent, sound and conservative. In this work we solve this longstanding open problem by providing an encoding of these three features that we prove to be confluent, sound and to satisfy a restricted (but, we argue, strong enough) form of conservativity. Our proof of confluence is a contribution by itself, and combines various criteria and proof techniques from rewriting theory. Our proof of soundness also contributes a new strategy in which the result is shown in terms of an inverse translation function, fixing a common flaw made in some previous encoding attempts.

A Verified Algorithm for Deciding Pattern Completeness

Authors: René Thiemann and Akihisa Yamada

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)


Abstract
Pattern completeness is the property that the left-hand sides of a functional program cover all cases w.r.t. pattern matching. In the context of term rewriting a related notion is quasi-reducibility, a prerequisite if one wants to perform ground confluence proofs by rewriting induction. In order to certify such confluence proofs, we develop a novel algorithm that decides pattern completeness and that can be used to ensure quasi-reducibility. One of the advantages of the proposed algorithm is its simple structure: it is similar to that of a regular matching algorithm and, unlike an existing decision procedure for quasi-reducibility, it avoids enumerating all terms up to a given depth. Despite the simple structure, proving the correctness of the algorithm is not immediate. Therefore we formalize the algorithm and verify its correctness using the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. To this end, we not only verify some auxiliary algorithms, but also design an Isabelle library on sorted term rewriting. Moreover, we export the verified code in Haskell and experimentally evaluate its performance. We observe that our algorithm significantly outperforms existing algorithms, even including the pattern completeness check of the GHC Haskell compiler.

Equational Theories and Validity for Logically Constrained Term Rewriting

Authors: Takahito Aoto, Naoki Nishida, and Jonas Schöpf

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)


Abstract
Logically constrained term rewriting is a relatively new formalism where rules are equipped with constraints over some arbitrary theory. Although there are many recent advances with respect to rewriting induction, completion, complexity analysis and confluence analysis for logically constrained term rewriting, these works solely focus on the syntactic side of the formalism lacking detailed investigations on semantics. In this paper, we investigate a semantic side of logically constrained term rewriting. To this end, we first define constrained equations, constrained equational theories and validity of the former based on the latter. After presenting the relationship of validity and conversion of rewriting, we then construct a sound inference system to prove validity of constrained equations in constrained equational theories. Finally, we give an algebraic semantics, which enables one to establish invalidity of constrained equations in constrained equational theories. This algebraic semantics derives a new notion of consistency for constrained equational theories.

Termination of Generalized Term Rewriting Systems

Authors: Salvador Lucas

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 299, 9th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2024)


Abstract
We investigate termination of Generalized Term Rewriting Systems (GTRS), which extend Conditional Term Rewriting Systems by considering replacement restrictions on selected arguments of function symbols, as in Context-Sensitive Rewriting, and conditional rewriting rules whose conditional part may include not only a mix of the usual (reachability, joinability,...) conditions, but also atoms defined by a set of definite Horn clauses. GTRS can be used to prove confluence and termination of Generalized Rewrite Theories and Maude programs. We have characterized confluence of terminating GTRS as the joinability of a finite set of conditional pairs. Since termination of GTRS is underexplored to date, this paper introduces a Dependency Pair Framework which is well-suited to automatically (dis)prove termination of GTRS.

Hydra Battles and AC Termination

Authors: Nao Hirokawa and Aart Middeldorp

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 260, 8th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2023)


Abstract
We present a new encoding of the Battle of Hercules and Hydra as a rewrite system with AC symbols. Unlike earlier term rewriting encodings, it faithfully models any strategy of Hercules to beat Hydra. To prove the termination of our encoding, we employ type introduction in connection with many-sorted semantic labeling for AC rewriting and AC-RPO.
