The Edinburgh Logical Framework (LF) is a dependently type lambda calculus that can be used to encode formal systems. The versatility of LF allows specifications to be constructed also about the encoded systems. The Twelf system exploits…

We introduce the structural resource lambda-calculus, a new formalism in which strongly normalizing terms of the lambda-calculus can naturally be represented, and at the same time any type derivation can be internally rewritten to its…

This paper presents a recent formalization of a Henkin-style completeness proof for the propositional modal logic S5 using the Lean theorem prover. The proof formalized is close to that of Hughes and Cresswell, but the system, based on a…

We study the confluence property of abstract rewriting systems internal to cubical categories. We introduce cubical contractions, a higher-dimensional generalisation of reductions to normal forms, and employ them to construct cubical…

Large language models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated remarkable progress in formal theorem proving. Yet their ability to serve as practical assistants for mathematicians, filling in missing steps within complex proofs, remains…

We present a framework for the formal meta-theory of lambda calculi in first-order syntax, with two sorts of names, one to represent both free and bound variables, and the other for constants, and by using Stoughton's multiple…

Let $\Lambda = \mathrm{SL}_2(\Bbb Z)$ be the modular group and let $c_n(\Lambda)$ be the number of congruence subgroups of $\Lambda$ of index at most $n$. We prove that $\lim\limits_{n\to \infty} \frac{\log c_n(\Lambda)}{(\log n)^2/\log\log…

As automated reasoning systems advance rapidly, there is a growing need for research-level formal mathematical problems to accurately evaluate their capabilities. To address this, we present Formal Conjectures, an evolving benchmark of…

Andromeda is an LCF-style proof assistant where the user builds derivable judgments by writing code in a meta-level programming language AML. The only trusted component of Andromeda is a minimalist nucleus (an implementation of the…

The lambda-Pi-calculus Modulo is a variant of the lambda-calculus with dependent types where beta-conversion is extended with user-defined rewrite rules. It is an expressive logical framework and has been used to encode logics and type…

Rewriting logic is both a flexible semantic framework within which widely different concurrent systems can be naturally specified and a logical framework in which widely different logics can be specified. Maude programs are exactly rewrite…
