Translating HOL-Light proofs to Coq

18 pagesPublished: May 26, 2024

Abstract

We present a method and a tool, hol2dk, to fully automatically translate proofs from the proof assistant HOL-Light to the proof assistant Coq, by using Dedukti as an intermediate language. Moreover, a number of types, functions and predicates defined in HOL-Light are proved (by hand) to be equal to their counterpart in the Coq standard library. By replacing those types and functions by their Coq counterpart everywhere, we obtain a library of theorems (based on classical logic like HOL-Light) that can directly be used and applied in other Coq developments.

Keyphrases: certification, concept alignment, dependent type theory, higher order logic, logical frameworks, proof transformation, proof translation, rewriting
