The proof of the relative consistency of the axiom of choice has been mechanized using Isabelle/ZF. The proof builds upon a previous mechanization of the reflection theorem. The heavy reliance on metatheory in the original proof makes the…

We define the notion of a model of higher-order modal logic in an arbitrary elementary topos $\mathcal{E}$. In contrast to the well-known interpretation of (non-modal) higher-order logic, the type of propositions is not interpreted by the…

This position statement looks back on two decades of work on shallow embeddings of non-classical logics in classical higher-order logic (HOL), a line of research that expanded into a range of logic embeddings in HOL and inspired the LogiKEy…

Ackermann's function can be expressed using an iterative algorithm, which essentially takes the form of a term rewriting system. Although the termination of this algorithm is far from obvious, its equivalence to the traditional recursive…

Formal verification of cyber-physical and robotic systems requires that we can accurately model physical quantities that exist in the real-world. The use of explicit units in such quantities can allow a higher degree of rigour, since we can…

Many facts possess symmetrical counterparts that often require a separate formal proof, depending on the nature of the involved symmetry. We introduce a method in Isabelle/HOL which produces such a symmetrical fact for the list datatype and…
