A Succinct Formalization of the Completeness of First-Order Logic

Abstract

I succinctly formalize the soundness and completeness of a small Hilbert system for first-order logic in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. The proof combines and details ideas from de Bruijn, Henkin, Herbrand, Hilbert, Hintikka, Lindenbaum, Smullyan and others in a novel way, and I use a declarative style, custom notation and proof automation to obtain a readable formalization. The formalized definitions of Hintikka sets and Herbrand structures allow open and closed formulas to be treated uniformly, making free variables a non-concern. This paper collects important techniques in mathematical logic in a way suited for both study and further work.
