Title Type theory and proof processing system
Author DOWEK Gilles
Keywords Computation, Deduction, Function, Mathematical language, Proof, Proof processing systems, Set theory, Type theory
Topics Computer Sciences, Computing, Logic, Sets, Software
Abstract Since the end of the sixties, several computer programs allowing to process mathematical knowledge, and in particular mathematical proofs, have been designed. Building such programs raises new questions, in particular that of the conception of logical frameworks where mathematics can be formalized in practice. This is a new direction for fundational studies, more interested, so far, in formalization of mathematics in principle, than in practice. Several reasons explain that the designers of such programs often chose type theory rather than set theory to formalize mathematics.

Title Proof Theory of Martin-Löf Type Theory. An overview
Author SETZER Anton
Keywords Generic programming, Inductive-recursive definitions, Kleene's O, Kripke Platek set theory, Mahlo universe, Martin-Löf type theory, Set theory, Well-founded trees
Topics Logic, Orders and preorders, Sets, Trees, Type Theory
Abstract We give an overview over the historic development of proof theory and the main techniques used in ordinal theoretic proof theory. We argue, that in a revised Hilbert's program, ordinal theoretic proof theory has to be supplemented by a second step, namely the development of strong equiconsistent constructive theories. Then we show, how, as part of such a programe, the proof theoretic analysis of Martin-Löf type theory with W-type and one microscopic universe containing only two finite sets is carried out. Then we look at the analysis Martin-Löf type theory with W-type and a universe closed under the W-type, and consider the extension of type theory by one Mahlo universe and its proof-theoretic analysis. Finally, we repeat the concept of inductive-recursive definitions, which extends the notion of inductive definitions substantially. We introduce a closed formalization, which can be used in generic programming, and explain, what is known about its strength.

Title The criticism of set theory in Brouwer's dissertation (1907)
Author BOURDEAU Michel
Keywords Continuum, Intuitionism, Ordinals, Transfinite
Topics Epistemology, History of Mathematics, Logic, Orders and preorders, Sets
Abstract Although Brouwer had not developed intuitionistic mathematics by 1917, some of his main ideas are already to be found in his 1907 Dissertation, for instance his attitude towards set theory. We are invited to distinguish two aspects in Cantor's creation: the authentic mathematical contribution (topology, ordinals), and a spurious one, which leads to contradictions and reflects an excessive confidence in the power of logic. Consequently, the transfinite has two faces: the hierarchy of the alephs, and the ordinals. Brouwer agrees with the latter, not with the former. This explains also why the Continuum Hypothesis is discussed in two different places: the mathematical version in the first chapter, the logical one in the third chapter. In the latter, Brouwer accepts the two generating principles for ordinals, but he thinks that these provide no ground for taking the second class of numbers as a completed totality.

Title Vicious circles, mathematics and logic
Author LONGO Giuseppe
Keywords Anti-foundation, Equation, Impredicativity, Self-application, Self-reference
Topics Algebra, Epistemology, Logic, Orders and preorders, Sets, Type Theory
Abstract Some forms of circularity in Logic and Mathematics (self-membership, self-application, impredicativity, .) are analyzed as closure properties of suitable mathematical structures since they can be considered as solutions of some systems of equations. At the same time, from a philosophical point of view, we stress the contribution of these circularities to the power of mathematics in making the world intelligible;
