Kurzkommentar |
Structure: Three hours per week, split across one or two meetings (to be decided). At least the initial meetings will be lecture-style. Theme: Topics in structural proof theory, introduced and explored through different logics. We'll loosely follow the judgmental approach. Approximate list of topics: * Intuitionistic logic - Natural deduction - Structural properties - Proof terms (Curry-Howard isomorphism) - Proof normalization and normal proofs - Sequent calculus - Cut-elimination - Decidability (briefly) * Classical logic - Natural deduction - Sequent calculus - Cut-elimination * Modal logic - Necessitation and possibility - Natural deduction - Sequent calculus - Lax logic (optional) * Substructural logics - Linear logic - Affine logic (optional) * Focusing - Polarized logic - Focused inference rules & completeness - Uniform proofs and goal-directed search (optional) |
