Verified extraction and compilation

I am interested in using the Coq proof assistant as a system to obtain verified executable programs: I co-developed verified extraction from Coq to OCaml (PLDI ‘24); I am involved in the MetaCoq project, a formalisation and implementation of Coq in Coq, where I verified type and proof erasure (POPL ‘20); and I am a team member in the CertiCoq project, a verified compiler from Coq to C.

Synthetic computability

Synthetic computability was pioneered by Richman, Bridges, and Bauer in different flavours of constructive logic. In synthetic computability theory, the fact that all definable functions in constructive logic are computable is made explicit via axioms. Thereby, formalisations can focus on the mathematical essence of results and on rigorous simplification of proofs rather than on encoding programs in model of computation.

Since synthetic computability in most presentations assumes the axiom of countable choice the theory becomes anti-classical, i.e. the law of excluded middle is disprovable. When choosing constructive type theory as implemented by the Coq proof assistant as foundation for synthetic computability, classical logic via the law of excluded middle can be consistently assumed.

We gave a general discussion of the axiom CT (Church’s Thesis) in relation to other axioms for Coq’s type theory (CSL ‘21) an introduction to Parametric Church’s Thesis and synthetic computability without choice (LFCS 22), a definition of Kolmogorov complexity (ITP ‘22’), a solution for Post’s problem for many-one and truth-table reducibility (CSL ‘23), a definition of oracle computability and Turing reductions (APLAS ‘23’), and a proof of Post’s hierarchy theorem (CSL ‘24’).

Synthetic undecidability

Decidability and undecidability proofs are the subarea of computability theory with the most influence on general theoretical computer science. Both kinds of proofs are often intricate and their details are error-prone: Several later retracted results have been published at renowned venues. Synthetic undecidability offers a method to verify the undecidability in a proof assistant such that no doubt remains, without ever dealing with models of computation. This is because all functions definable in Coq’s type theory are by definition computable, and thus undecidability of a problem can be proved by a reduction from Turing machine halting to the problem in question. A prime result is our synthetic undecidability proof of Hilbert’s tenth problem (FSCD ‘19). I co-maintain the Coq Library of Undecidability Proofs, a collaborative project containing machine-checked undecidability proofs.

Formalising models of computation

We have given several machine-checked equivalence proofs between different models of computation such as Turing machines, register machines, the lambda-calculus or partial recursive functions. As part of this work we have proved that the weak call-by-value λ-calculus is reasonable for both time and space (POPL ‘20) and provided a machine-checked version of the result for time (ITP ‘21).
