New embeddings for monadic second-order logic developed in Isabelle/HOL

Researchers have developed three distinct embeddings for monadic second-order logic (MSO) within the Isabelle/HOL theorem prover. These embeddings include a deep embedding, a maximal-shallow embedding, and a minimal-shallow embedding, each with specific translation methodologies. A key innovation is a two-sorted substitution apparatus that facilitates capture-avoiding substitution and renaming, with a substitution lemma for each namespace. The faithfulness of these embeddings has been mechanized and automated, leading to a fully mechanized two-sorted downward Loewenheim-Skolem theorem. AI

    Monadic Second-Order Logic in HOL: Deep and Shallow with Automated Faithfulness (Extended Preprint)

    arXiv:2609.07345v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In Isabelle/HOL, we apply the deep-and-shallow embedding methodology of our prior work to monadic second-order logic (MSO). Three embeddings are developed side by side: a deep embedding (an inductive datatype with an explicit sati…
