A Tale of Two Set Theories

Logic in Computer Science 2019-07-22 v1

Abstract

We describe the relationship between two versions of Tarski-Grothendieck set theory: the first-order set theory of Mizar and the higher-order set theory of Egal. We show how certain higher-order terms and propositions in Egal have equivalent first-order presentations. We then prove Tarski's Axiom A (an axiom in Mizar) in Egal and construct a Grothendieck Universe operator (a primitive with axioms in Egal) in Mizar.
