  • Nominal Isabelle/HOL
    Jan 31 2025

    In this episode, I discuss the paper Nominal Techniques in Isabelle/HOL, by Christian Urban. This paper shows how to reason with terms modulo alpha-equivalence, using ideas from nominal logic. The basic idea is that instead of renamings, one works with permutations of names.

  • The Locally Nameless Representation
    Jan 3 2025

    I discuss what is called the locally nameless representation of syntax with binders, following the first couple of sections of the very nicely written paper "The Locally Nameless Representation," by Charguéraud. I complain due to the statement in the paper that "the theory of λ-calculus identifies terms that are α-equivalent," which is simply not true if one is considering lambda calculus as defined by Church, where renaming is an explicit reduction step, on a par with beta-reduction. I also answer a listener's question about what "computational type theory" means.
