What is a proof of an equality statement?
What is the formal counterpart of a proof of an equality?
In talking about proofs of an equality statement, two dichotomies
arise:
1 definitional equality versus propositional equality
2 intensional equality versus extensional equality
First step on the formalisation of proofs of equality statements: Per

Identity Types - Topological and Categorical Structure
Workshop, Uppsala, November 13–14, 2006
“The identity type, the type of proof objects for the
fundamental propositional equality, is one of the most
intriguing constructions of intensional dependent type
theory (also known as Martin-L¨of type theory). Its
complexity became apparent with the Hofmann–Streicher
groupoid model of type theory. This model also hinted at
some possible connections between type theory and
homotopy theory and higher categories. Exploration of this
connection is intended to be the main theme of the
workshop.”

Identity Types
Type Theory and Homotopy Theory
Indeed, a whole new research avenue has since 2005 been explored
by people like Vladimir Voevodsky and Steve Awodey in trying to
make a bridge between type theory and homotopy theory, mainly via
the groupoid structure exposed in the Hofmann–Streicher (1994)
countermodel to the principle of Uniqueness of Identity Proofs (UIP).
This has open the way to, in Awodey’s words,
“a new and surprising connection between Geometry,
Algebra, and Logic, which has recently come to light in the
form of an interpretation of the constructive type theory of
Per Martin-L¨of into homotopy theory, resulting in new
examples of certain algebraic structures which are
important in topology”. (“Type Theory and Homotopy”,
preprint, 2010.)

Identity Types as Topological Spaces
According to B. van den Berg and R. Garner (“Topological and
simplicial models of identity types”, ACM Transactions on
Computational Logic, Jan 2012),
“All of this work can be seen as an elaboration of the
following basic idea: that in Martin-L¨of type theory, a type A
is analogous to a topological space; elements a, b ∈ A to
points of that space; and elements of an identity type
p, q ∈ IdA(a, b) to paths or homotopies p, q : a → b in A.”.

Identity Types
Identity Types as Topological Spaces
From the Homotopy type theory collective book
(2013):
“In type theory, for every type A there is a (formerly
somewhat mysterious) type IdA of identifications of two
objects of A; in homotopy type theory, this is just the path
space AI
of all continuous maps I → A from the unit
interval. In this way, a term p : IdA(a, b) represents a path
p : a b in A.”

Identity Types: Iteration
From Propositional to Predicate Logic and Beyond
In the same aforementioned workshop, B. van den Berg in his
contribution “Types as weak omega-categories” draws attention to the
power of the identity type in the iterating types to form a globular set:
“Fix a type X in a context Γ. Define a globular set as follows:
A0 consists of the terms of type X in context Γ,modulo
definitional equality; A1 consists of terms of the types
Id(X; p; q) (in context Γ) for elements p, q in A0, modulo
definitional equality; A2 consists of terms of well-formed
types Id(Id(X; p; q); r; s) (in context Γ) for elements p, q in
A0, r, s in A1, modulo definitional equality; etcetera...”

The homotopy interpretation
Here is how we can see the connections between proofs of equality
and homotopies:
a, b : A
p, q : IdA(a, b)
α, β : IdIdA(a,b)(p, q)
· · · : IdIdId...
(· · · )
Now, consider the following
interpretation:

Terms Maps
a : A Points a : 1 → A
p : IdA(a, b) Paths p : a ⇒ b
α : IdIdA(a,b)(p, q) Homotopies α : p q

Propositional Equality
Proofs of equality as (rewriting) computational paths
Motivated by looking at equalities in type theory as arising from the
existence of computational paths between two formal objects, our
purpose here is to offer a different perspective on the role and the
power of the notion of propositional equality as formalised in the
so-called Curry–Howard functional interpretation. The main idea
goes back to a paper entitled “Equality in labelled deductive systems
and the functional interpretation of propositional equality”, , presented
in Dec 1993 at the 9th Amsterdam Colloquium, and published in the
proceedings in 1994.

Definition (equations and systems of equations)
Let us consider equations E between individual terms
a, b, c, . . ., possibly containing function variables, and finite sets
of equations S.
Definition (measure)
A function M from terms to non-negative integers is called a
measure if M(a) ≤ M(b) implies M(c[a/x]) ≤ M(c[b/x]), and,
whenever x occurs in c, M(a) ≤ M(c[a/x]).

Sequences of conversions
(λx.(λy.yx)(λw.zw))v η (λx.(λy.yx)z)v β (λy.yv)z β zv
(λx.(λy.yx)(λw.zw))v β (λx.(λw.zw)x)v η (λx.zx)v β zv
(λx.(λy.yx)(λw.zw))v β (λx.(λw.zw)x)v β (λw.zw)v η zv
There is at least one sequence of conversions from the initial term to
the final term. (In this case we have given three!) Thus, in the formal
theory of λ-calculus, the term (λx.(λy.yx)(λw.zw))v is declared to be
equal to zv.
Now, some natural questions arise:
1 Are the sequences themselves normal?
2 Are there non-normal sequences?
3 If yes, how are the latter to be identified and (possibly)
normalised?
4 What happens if general rules of equality are involved?Ruy de Queiroz (joint work with Anjolina de Oliveira) Univ. Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil

Propositional equality
Definition (Hindley & Seldin 2008)
P is β-equal or β-convertible to Q (notation P =β Q) iff Q is
obtained from P by a finite (perhaps empty) series of
β-contractions and reversed β-contractions and changes of
bound variables. That is, P =β Q iff there exist P0, . . . , Pn
(n ≥ 0) such that
P0 ≡ P, Pn ≡ Q,
(∀i ≤ n − 1)(Pi 1β Pi+1 or Pi+1 1β Pi or Pi ≡α Pi+1).
NB: equality with an existential force.

Gentzen’s ND for propositional equality
Remark
In setting up a set of Gentzen’s ND-style rules for equality we
need to account for:
1 definitional versus propositional equality;
2 there may be more than one normal proof of a certain
equality statement;
3 given a (possibly non-normal) proof, the process of
bringing it to a normal form should be finite and confluent.

which says that a and b are equal elements from domain D, let
us add a function symbol:
a =s b : A

the rewrite reason); ‘s’ is a term denoting a sequence of
equality identifiers (β, η, ξ, etc.), i.e. a composition of rewrites.
In other words, ‘s’ is the computational path from a to b.
