A theory independent Curry-De Bruijn-Howard correspondence

Abstract

Instead of developing a customized typed lambda-calculus for each theory, we attempt to design a general parametric calculus that permits to express the proofs of any theory. This way, the problem of expressing proofs in the lambda-calculus is separated from that of choosing a theory.
