The Lambda-calculus, Combinatory Logic, and Type Systems
Overview:
Three interrelated topics at the heart of logic and computer science. The -Calculus A pure calculus of functional abstraction and function application, with applications throughout logic and computer science. Types The -calculus is good tool for exploring type systems, invaluable both in the foundations of mathematics and for practical programming languages. Pure Type Systems A further generalisation and systematic presentation of the class of type systems found in the -cube. Combinators Combinatory logic shows that bound variables can be eliminated without loss of expressiveness. It has applications both in the foundations of mathematics and in the implementation of functional programming languages. Programming Languages The connections between the lambda-calculus and programming languages are diverse and pervasive. Type systems are an important aspect of programming language design. The -cube A graphical presentation of the relationship between combinatory logic, lambda calculi and related logical systems. The -cube A graphical presentation of the relationship between various typed -calculi, illuminating the structure of Coquand's Calculus of Constructions.

Mathematical logic; particularly lambda-calculus, combinatory logic and type-theories, with a current bias towards historical aspects. Lambda-calculus and combinatory logic are formal systems, to some extent rivals, used in the construction and study of programming languages which are higher-order (i.e. in which programs may change other programs). These two systems were invented in the 1920s by mathematicians for use in higher-order logic, and came to be applied in programming theory from the 1970s onward, when that theory expanded to cover higher-order computations. In a type-theory, types are labels which may be attached to certain programs to show what other programs they can change. A type-system is a particular set of rules for attaching types; the rules themselves are usually reasonably simple, but such questions as what programs are typable, what set of types a program may receive, and whether a typable computation can continue indefinitely, are not always easy to answer and have occupied many researchers.

Abstract
According to Brouwer, the truth in intuitionistic logic means provability. On this basis Heyting and Kolmogorov introduced an informal Brouwer-Heyting-Kolmogorov (BHK) semantics for intuitionistic logic. The ideas of BHK led to a discovery of computational semantics of intuitionistic logic, in particular, realizability semantics and Curry-Howard isomorphism of natural derivations and typed lambda-terms. However, despite many efforts the original semantics of intuitionistic logic as logic of proofs did not meet, until recently, an exact mathematical formulation. Gödel in 1933 suggested a mechanism based on modal logic S4 connecting classical provability (represented as S4-modality) to intuitionistic logic. This did not solve the BHK problem, since S4 itself was left without an exact provability model. In 1938 Gödel suggested using the original BHK format of proof carrying formulas to build a provability model of S4. This Gödel's program was accomplished in 1995 when proof polynomials and the Logic of Proofs (LP) were discovered, shown to enjoy a natural provability semantics, and to be able of realizing all S4-modalities by proof polynomials. The Logic of Proofs became both an explicit counterpart of modal logic and a reflexive combinatory logic (reflexive lambda-calculus) thus providing a uniform mathematical model of knowledge and computability.

    Major scientific accomplishments . Reflexive lambda-calculus. The Curry-Howard isomorphism converting intuitionistic proofs into typed lambda-terms is a simple instance of an internalization property of a our system lambda-infinity which unifies intuitionistic propositions (types) with lambda-calculus and which is capable of internalizing its own derivations as lambda-terms. We establish confluence and strong normalization of lambda-infinity. The system lambda-infinity is confluent and strongly normalizable (a joint result with J.Alt) , considerably extends the expressive power of each of its major components: typed lambda-calculus, intuitionistic and modal logic. It may be regarded as the pure lambda version of the Logic of Proofs LP (cf. below). Reflexive lambda-calculus is likely to change our conception of the appropriate syntax and semantics for ambda-calculus based programming languages, systems of automated deduction and formal verification. . An explicit provability model for verification. The traditional (implicit) provability model leaves a certain loophole in the foundations of formal verification. Namely, by the Goedel Incompleteness Theorem an extension of a verification system by a verified rule generally speaking is not equivalent to the original system. This model leads to a "reflection tower" of metatheories of increasing proof-theoretical strength which itself cannot be verified formally. One has to believe in correctness of a verification system the way we believe in consistency of a set theory.

    28-29 June 2007 From Type Theory to Morphologic Complexity: A Colloquium in Honor of Giuseppe Longo In conjunction with RDP 2007 Paris, Conservatoire National des Arts et M©tiers , Amphitheaters 3 and A. This colloquium was organised to celebrate the 60th birthday of Giuseppe Longo . Some photos of the meeting can be found here The main research area Giuseppe Longo has been interested in concerns syntactic and semantic properties of the "logical base" of functional languages: Combinatory Logic, Lambda-calculus and their extensions. However, he always investigated these topics in its broadest setting which relates them to Recursion Theory, Proof Theory and Category Theory. In this perspective, Longo worked at some aspects of Recursion Theory, Higher Type Recursion Theory, Domain Theory and Category Theory as part of a unified mathematical framework for the theory and the design of functional languages. In a sense, Longo has always been mostly interested in the "interconnecting results" or "bridges" and applications among different areas and to language design. He also worked at the applications of functional approaches to Object-Oriented programming. He is currently extending his interdisciplinary interests to Philosophy of Mathematics and Cognitive Sciences. A recent interdisciplinary project on Geometry and Cognition (started with the corresponding grant: "G©om©trie et Cognition", 1999 - 2002 with J. Petitot et B. Teissier), focused on the geometry of physical and biological spaces. The developements of this project lead to a new initiative at DI-ENS, in 2002, the setting up of the research team "Complexit© et information morphologiques" (CIM), centered on foundational problems in the interface between Mathematics, Physics and Biology.

This design of a minimalistic universal computer was motivated by my desire to come up with a concrete definition of Kolmogorov Complexity , which studies randomness of individual objects. All ideas in the paper have been implemented in the the wonderfully elegant Haskell language, which is basically pure typed lambda calculus with lots of syntactic sugar on top. The implementation also offers a Main module that lets you run the universal binary lambda computer on the command-line argument joined to standard input as a list of bytes: main = do [program] The first example is the half-byte program for identity=^x.x, while the second is the ten-and-a-half-byte program for stutter=^l l(^h^t^n^z z h (^z z h (stutter t)))nil.

Combinatory logic is a notation introduced by Moses Sch¶nfinkel and Haskell Curry to eliminate the need for variables in mathematical logic . It has more recently been used in computer science as a theoretical model of computation and also as a basis for the design of functional programming languages . It is based on combinators . A combinator is a higher-order function which, for defining a result from its arguments, solely use function application and earlier defined combinators.

      M. W. Bunder and W. J. M. Dekkers Source: Notre Dame J. Formal Logic Volume 46, Number 2 (2005), 181-205.
      Abstract
      Pure Type Systems, PTSs, were introduced as a generalization of the type systems of Barendregt's lambda cube and were designed to provide a foundation for actual proof assistants which will verify proofs. Systems of illative combinatory logic or lambda calculus, ICLs, were introduced by Curry and Church as a foundation for logic and mathematics. In an earlier paper we considered two changes to the rules of the PTSs which made these rules more like ICL rules. This led to four kinds of PTSs. Most importantly PTSs are about statements of the form M A , where M is a term and A a type. In ICLs there are no explicit types and the statements are terms. In this paper we show that for each of the four forms of PTS there is an equivalent form of ICL, sometimes if certain conditions hold.

      Lambda calculus and Type Theory
      The lambda calculus was originally conceived by Church in 1932 as part of a general theory of functions and logic, intended as a foundation for mathematics. Although the system turned out to be inconsistent, the subsystem dealing with functions only became a succesful model for the computable functions. This system is called now the (type-free) lambda calculus. Representing computable functions as lambda terms gives rise to so called functional programming. People::

This book will serve as a sequel to Barendregt's monograph on type-free lambda calculus (North-Holland, 1984, also translated into Russian and Chinese), a classical work that is considered as the standard reference to lambda calculus. The editors and main authors of the book are Henk Barendregt and Wil Dekkers of the University of Nijmegen and Rick Statman of Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA.

    Natural Deduction for Intuitionistic Non-Commutative Linear Logic
    Natural Deduction for Intuitionistic Non-Commutative Linear Logic , Jeff Polakow and Frank Pfenning. TLCA 1999. Intuitionistic logic captures functional programming in a logical way, as can be seen from the Curry-Howard isomorphism between constructive proofs and functional programs. However, there are many structural properties of programs that are not captured within the intuitionistic framework, such as resource usage, computational complexity, and sequentiality. Intuitionistic linear logic can be thought of as a refinement of intuitionistic logic in which the resource consumption properties of functions can be expressed internally. Here, we further refine it to allow the expression of sequencing of computations. We achieve this by controlling the use of the structural rule of exchange to arrive at intuitionistic non-commutative linear logic My earlier post on linguistics reminded me of the Lambek calculus, which is an ordered logic invented in 1958(!) to model how to parse sentences. So I wanted to find a paper on ordered logic (ie, you can't freely swap the order of hypotheses in a context) and link to that.

In it, classical combinators are mapped to bird names (S = starling, K = kestrel, etc.). These are useful mnemonics for classical combinators. Chris Rathman has a very useful  list of all of the combinator birds , and their implementations as combinators, in the SK calculus, and in the lambda calculus. This list has been indispensible to me for understanding the relationship between combinatory logic and the lambda calculus, as well as the relationship between the Haskell semantics and types and Cat semantics and types. viewed here . As with any Cat program the type annotation serves only as a sanity check, the types are always inferred by the compiler. The only type signature which is clearly wrong is the W combinator, while a couple of other types have a slight bugs, but are still compatible. These bugs should be ironed out in the next major release of Cat. In Cat:  In Haskell This work is a major step forwards toward my current goal of Scheme to Cat translator, which should allow me to infer types for Scheme programs.

    The purpose of this paper is to consider a representation of the HOL theorem-prover in the calculus of constructions with the property that consistency results from the calculus of constructions imply such results in HOL. This kind of representation is impossible using the propositions-as-types representation of logic and equality, but it is possible if a different representation is used.

    Joy compared with other functional languages Global Utilities Search: Global Navigation By Manfred von Thun Joy is a functional programming language which is not based on the application of functions to arguments but on the composition of functions. This paper compares and contrasts Joy with the theoretical basis of other functional formalisms and the programming languages based on them. One group comprises the lambda calculus and the programming languages Lisp, ML and Miranda. Another comprises combinatory logic and the language FP by Backus. A third comprises Cartesian closed categories. The paper concludes that Joy is significantly different from any of these formalisms and programming languages.
    Introduction
    This paper outlines the principal similarities and differences between Joy and other high-level and low-level functional languages. The best known functional languages are the lambda calculus and, based on it, the programming languages Lisp and its descendants. All of them rely heavily on two operations, abstraction and application, which are in some sense inverses of each other. Abstraction binds free variables in an expression, and it yields a function which is a first class value. The bound variables are the formal parameters of the function, and, importantly, they are named. Application of an abstracted function to some actual parameters can be understood as resulting in a substitution of actual for formal parameters and then evaluation of the modified expression. More efficiently application can be implemented using an

The result is based on an easy technical trick, namely, that the identity combinators collapse all the combinators which are dual with respect to them. l l -calculi in which the functions and/or the application operation are bidirectional. The last section of the paper shows the devastating effect the identity combinators have for a dual system: they half trivialize simple combinatory bases, although they are not sufficient to cause real triviality for what cancellative combinators are needed. Introduction R B C W I C S I 1. Dual combinators. Pure combinators operate on left associated sequences of objects. The result of an application of a combinator is a sequence made out of some of the objects on the left (possibly with repetitions) and parentheses scattered across: Q x x n x i x i m where any x i j j m ) is x k k n ) for some k , and the sequence on the right might be associated arbitrarily. The parentheses on the left of the identity are frequently dropped, since left association is taken to be the default. To recall the most familiar combinators as an illustration of the above general statement we have:

    Haskell Brooks Curry
    Born: 12 Sept 1900 in Millis, Massachusetts, USA
    Died: 1 Sept 1982 in State College, Pennsylvania , USA
    Haskell Curry 's mother was Anna Baright and his father was Samuel Silas Curry. Samuel was the president of the School of Expression in Boston and Anna was the Dean of the School. Haskell did not show particular interest in mathematics when at high school and when he graduated in 1916 he fully intended to study medicine. He entered Harvard College, the undergraduate school of Harvard University, and took a mathematics course in his first year of study as part of his studies towards a degree in medicine. A major influence on the direction that his studies took was the entry of the United States into World War I in the spring of 1917. Curry wanted to serve his country, and decided that he would be more likely to see action if he had a mathematics training rather than if he continued the pre-medical course he was on. Anyhow he had enjoyed the mathematics course he had taken and had done very well in the course. He changed his major subject to mathematics and then enlisted in the Student Army Training Corps on 18 October 1918. The war, however, ended shortly after this (in November) and on 9 December 1918 Curry left the army. He continued on the mathematics course at Harvard, however, and graduated in 1920 with an A.B. degree. Curry now decided that he would look for a career in electrical engineering and he took a job with the General Electric Company which allowed him to study electrical engineering part-time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. However he soon discovered that he had a different attitude to the others taking the courses, for he wanted to know why a result was correct when for everyone else it only mattered that it was correct. Realising that he was more suited to pure science than to applied science, he changed course to study physics in 1922. Also Harvard seemed a better place to study pure science so he returned there, having been appointed to a half-post as a research assistant of P W Bridgeman for the session 1922-23. Curry graduated with a Master's Degree in physics from Harvard in 1924 but by now he realised that the subject for him was not physics but it was mathematics. He began to undertake research for his doctorate in mathematics at Harvard.

This mathematical discipline was subsequently termed combinatory logic by Curry and " -conversion" or " lambda calculus " by Church. The system of combinatory logic is extremely fundamental, in that there are a relatively small finite numbers of atoms, axioms, and elementary rules. Despite the fact that the system contains no formal variables, it can be used for doing anything that can be done with variables in more usual systems (Curry 1977, p. 119).

    Nature and aim of the course
    Lambda calculus is a theory of functions that is central to (theoretical) computer science. It is well known that all recursive functions are representable as lambda terms: the representation is so compelling that definability in the calculus may as well be regarded as a definition of computability. This forms part of the standard foundations of computer science and mathematics. Less familiar are two separate developments one in programming, the other in proof theory in which lambda calculus has played a key role:
    • Lambda calculus is the commonly accepted basis of functional programming languages; and it is folklore that the calculus is the prototypical functional language in purified form.
    • The idea that there is a close relation between proof theory and a theory of functions is an old one. It underlies the Kolmogorov-Brouwer-Heyting interpretation of intuitionistic logic, and the Curry-Howard isomorphism between natural deduction and typed lambda calculus.
    We develop the syntax and semantics of lambda calculus along these two themes. The aim of this course is to provide the foundation for an important aspect of the semantics of programming languages with a view to helping enthusiastic research students appreciate (perhaps even begin to address) some of the open problems in the field. The second theme in particular will be followed up by two new courses

    Combinator Module Users' Manual
    Purpose
    This document provides information on using the predicates exported from the combinator module. Furthermore, as the predicates, themselves, are derivative (they depend entirely on the syntax and semantics of the combinators and the language used to express them), this document provides an overview of the implementation language and the use of combinators.
    Background
    Combinatory logic (CL) is one language of mathematics. Like the lambda calculus, one expresses a function by combining a set of terms; unlike the lambda calculus, CL has no variables; the terms are combinators, not lambda terms, and the method of combining combinators is composition, not application, as it is for the lambda calculus. Given, or, despite, the similarities and differences of CL to the lambda calculus, the results of both languages is the same: one can build any arbitrary computable expression using a small set of "primitive" terms.
    Concessions
    Pure combinatory logic has normal order evaluation ("lazy"), and the result of composing combinators is a combinatory term. We allow some intrusions of the "real world" into this implementation of CL in order to simplify translating information between the rest of Prolog and the CL domain.
