We develop formal theories of conversion for Church-style lambda-terms with Pi-types in first-order syntax using one-sorted variables names and Stoughton's multiple substitutions. We then formalize the Pure Type Systems along some…
The calculus of Dependent Object Types (DOT) has enabled a more principled and robust implementation of Scala, but its support for type-level computation has proven insufficient. As a remedy, we propose $F^\omega_{..}$, a rigorous…
Let $(\Omega, \leq)$ be a totally ordered set. We prove that if $\Aut(\Omega,\leq)$ is transitive and satisfies the same first-order sentences as $\Aut(\RR,\leq)$ (in the language of lattice-ordered groups) then $\Omega$ and $\RR$ are…
We show that in a weak globular $\omega$-category, all composition operations are equivalent and commutative for cells with sufficiently degenerate boundary, which can be considered a higher-dimensional generalisation of the Eckmann-Hilton…
We present a type theory combining both linearity and dependency by stratifying typing rules into a level for logics and a level for programs. The distinction between logics and programs decouples their semantics, allowing the type system…
We provide proofs for the fact that certain orders have no descending chains and no antichains.
The running coupling of a generic field theory can be described through a separable differential equation involving the corresponding $\beta$-function. Only the first loop order can be solved analytically in terms of well-known functions,…
Homotopy type theory is an interpretation of Martin-L\"of's constructive type theory into abstract homotopy theory. There results a link between constructive mathematics and algebraic topology, providing topological semantics for…
We present the type system $\mathtt{d}$, an extended type system with lambda-typed lambda-expressions. It is related to type systems originating from the Automath project. $\mathtt{d}$ extends existing lambda-typed systems by an existential…
For $\alpha\geq 0$, $\beta<1$ and $\gamma\geq 0$, the class $\mathcal{W}_{\beta}(\alpha,\gamma)$ satisfies the condition \begin{align*} {\rm Re\,} \left( e^{i\phi}\left((1-\alpha+2\gamma)f/z+(\alpha-2\gamma)f'+ \gamma…
We present the first definition of strictly associative and unital $\infty$-category. Our proposal takes the form of a type theory whose terms describe the operations of such structures, and whose definitional equality relation enforces…
The seminal theorem of Cobham has given rise during the last 40 years to a lot of works around non-standard numeration systems and has been extended to many contexts. In this paper, as a result of fifteen years of improvements, we obtain a…
In [2], the authors prove Stillman's conjecture in all characteristics and all degrees by showing that, independent of the algebraically closed field $K$ or the number of variables, $n$ forms of degree at most $d$ in a polynomial ring $R$…
This paper obtains a completeness result for inequational reasoning with applicative terms without variables in a setting where the intended semantic models are the full structures, the full type hierarchies over preorders for the base…
Let T be Goedel's system of primitive recursive functionals of finite type in the lambda formulation. We define by constructive means using recursion on nested multisets a multivalued function I from the set of terms of T into the set of…
The first part of this dissertation defines "dependently typed algebraic theories", which are a strict subclass of the generalised algebraic theories (GATs) of Cartmell. We characterise dependently typed algebraic theories as finitary…
Let $L$ be a Lie algebra of Block type over $\C$ with basis $\{L_{\alpha,i}\,|\,\alpha,i\in\Z\}$ and brackets $[L_{\alpha,i},L_{\beta,j}]=(\beta(i+1)-\alpha(j+1))L_{\alpha+\beta,i+j}$. In this paper, we shall construct a formal distribution…
We introduce proof terms for string rewrite systems and, using these, show that various notions of equivalence on reductions known from the literature can be viewed as different perspectives on the notion of causal equivalence. In…
This paper addresses the longstanding problem of determining the structure of the $\leq_{\mathrm{LT}}$-order in the Effective Topos, known to effectively embed the Turing degrees. In a surprising discovery, we show that the…
We determine, up to the equivalence of first-order interdefinability, all structures which are first-order definable in the random partial order. It turns out that these structures fall into precisely five equivalence classes. We achieve…
