Proofs and Refutations for Intuitionistic and Second-Order Logic

Abstract

The λ^{PRK}-calculus is a typed λ-calculus that exploits the duality between the notions of proof and refutation to provide a computational interpretation for classical propositional logic. In this work, we extend λ^{PRK} to encompass classical second-order logic, by incorporating parametric polymorphism and existential types. The system is shown to enjoy good computational properties, such as type preservation, confluence, and strong normalization, which is established by means of a reducibility argument. We identify a syntactic restriction on proofs that characterizes exactly the intuitionistic fragment of second-order λ^{PRK}, and we study canonicity results.
