A Modular Type-checking algorithm for Type Theory with Singleton Types and Proof Irrelevance (1102.2405v3)
Published 11 Feb 2011 in cs.LO
Abstract: We define a logical framework with singleton types and one universe of small types. We give the semantics using a PER model; it is used for constructing a normalisation-by-evaluation algorithm. We prove completeness and soundness of the algorithm; and get as a corollary the injectivity of type constructors. Then we give the definition of a correct and complete type-checking algorithm for terms in normal form. We extend the results to proof-irrelevant propositions.
