Proof Repair and (Co)algebra Equivalences

· 0 citations · 54 references

TL;DR

This work gives the first foundational treatment of proof repair, focusing in particular on type-theoretic proof repair in response to changes in datatypes, and formalizes and proves that the core component of this proof repair algorithm—a “configuration”—is exactly an algebra isomorphism.

Does the Proof Prove It That Way? Faithful Formalization of Elements Proofs

Pistis is introduced, an agentic, oracle-guided proof search that produces formal Lean proofs that satisfy faithfulness conditions and can accept or refute natural language proofs written by humans or AI, demonstrating that faithful formalization is useful as a proof-checking tool.

Algebraic Proof Systems: An Algebraic Approach to Analysing Proofs (Invited Talk)

The Ideal Proof System, introduced by Grochow and Pitassi, is the focus of this talk, which will explore the IPS proof system, its connections to algebraic complexity, and recent developments in the area.

THE PROOF IS IN THE CHECKING

This paper investigates the question: what is a formal logical proof (in general—as opposed to: what is a formal proof in this or that specific proof system)? I begin by setting out a core conception of formal proof and substantiating its designation as ‘core’. The heart of this conception is that there must be an ef...

Treating Congruences as Equalities Within Proofs

This paper provides a setting in which congruences can be treated as actual equalities, mirroring the informal practice of mathematicians and eliminating the need to use the lemmas typically required for formal congruence proofs.

Towards a Proof-Theoretic Analysis of Incorrect/Incomplete Proofs

It is shown that the epsilon calculus provides a natural framework for analyzing tolerance of falsity in proofs and for identifying conditions under which an incorrect proof can be semantically repaired.

UC, Categorically: Rigorous Diagrammatic Proofs

This work provides a categorical treatment of Canetti's Universal Composability (UC) framework for systems with a static number of parties and sessions, often termed UC for static systems, yielding four benefits, including graphically verified formulation of the composition theorem.
