This paper presents meta-logical investigations based on category theory using the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. We demonstrate the potential of a free logic based shallow semantic embedding of category theory by providing a formalization…

This paper introduces Isabelle/HoTT, the first development of homotopy type theory in the Isabelle proof assistant. Building on earlier work by Paulson, I use Isabelle's existing logical framework infrastructure to implement essential…

This is the third in a series of papers extending Martin-L\"of's meaning explanations of dependent type theory to a Cartesian cubical realizability framework that accounts for higher-dimensional types. We extend this framework to include a…

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) and Looped Transformers have been shown to empirically improve performance on reasoning tasks and to theoretically enhance expressivity by recursively increasing the number of computational steps. However, their…

Ability to use definitions occurring in the code directly in equational reasoning is one of the key strengths of functional programming. This is impossible in the case of Haskell type class methods unless a particular instance type is…

We introduce the abstract notions of "monadic operational semantics", a small-step semantics where computational effects are modularly modeled by a monad, and "type-and-effect system", including "effect types" whose interpretation lifts…

We introduce and study a purely syntactic notion of lax cones and $(\infty,\infty)$-limits on finite computads in \texttt{CaTT}, a type theory for $(\infty,\infty)$-categories due to Finster and Mimram. Conveniently, finite computads are…

This technical report investigates Kripke-style modal type theories, both simply typed and dependently typed. We examine basic meta-theories of the type theories, develop their substitution calculi, and give normalization by evaluation…

We present techniques for reasoning about constructor classes that (like the monad class) fix polymorphic operations and assert polymorphic axioms. We do not require a logic with first-class type constructors, first-class polymorphism, or…

Pursuing conjectures of John Roe, we use the stable Higson corona of foliated cones to construct a new $K$-theory model for the leaf space of a foliation. This new $K$-theory model is -- in contrast to Alain Connes' $K$-theory model -- a…

Motivated by potential applications to theoretical computer science, in particular those areas where the Curry-Howard correspondence plays an important role, as well as by the ongoing search in pure mathematics for feasible approaches to…

We give an account of the basic combinatorial structure underlying the notion of type dependency. We do so by considering the category of all dependent sequent calculi, and exhibiting it as the category of algebras for a monad on a presheaf…

Large Language Models (LLMs) have made notable progress in mathematical reasoning, yet often rely on single-paradigm reasoning, limiting their effectiveness across diverse tasks. We introduce Chain-of-Reasoning (CoR), a novel unified…

Interactive theorem provers based on dependent type theory have the flexibility to support both constructive and classical reasoning. Constructive reasoning is supported natively by dependent type theory and classical reasoning is typically…

While Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has significantly advanced the reasoning capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), relying solely on linear text sequences remains a bottleneck for complex tasks. We observe that even…

In this paper, we propose a novel learning paradigm, termed Chain-of-Model (CoM), which incorporates the causal relationship into the hidden states of each layer as a chain style, thereby introducing great scaling efficiency in model…

A variety of logical frameworks support the use of higher-order abstract syntax (HOAS) in representing formal systems. Although these systems seem superficially the same, they differ in a variety of ways; for example, how they handle a…

Combining a pretrained language model (PLM) with textual patterns has been shown to help in both zero- and few-shot settings. For zero-shot performance, it makes sense to design patterns that closely resemble the text seen during…

Graded monads refine traditional monads using effect annotations in order to describe quantitatively the computational effects that a program can generate. They have been successfully applied to a variety of formal systems for reasoning…
