Globular: An Online Proof Assistant for Higher-Dimensional Rewriting

pdf-format:
LIPIcs-FSCD-2016-34.pdf (1 MB)

Abstract

This article introduces Globular, an online proof assistant for the
formalization and verification of proofs in higher-dimensional
category theory. The tool produces graphical visualizations of
higher-dimensional proofs, assists in their construction with a
point-and-click interface, and performs type checking to prevent
incorrect rewrites. Hosted on the web, it has a low barrier to use,
and allows hyperlinking of formalized proofs directly from research
papers. It allows the formalization of proofs from logic, topology and
algebra which are not formalizable by other methods, and we give
several examples.
