Automatic and Transparent Transfer of Theorems along Isomorphisms in the Coq Proof Assistant
Abstract
In mathematics, it is common practice to have several constructions
for the same objects.
Mathematicians will identify them modulo isomorphism and will
not worry later on which construction they use, as theorems proved
for one construction
will be valid for all.
When working with proof assistants, it is also common to see several
data-types representing the same objects.
This work aims at making the use of several isomorphic constructions
as simple and as transparent as it can be done informally in
mathematics.
This requires inferring automatically the missing proof-steps.
We are designing an algorithm which finds and fills these missing
proof-steps and we are implementing it as a plugin for Coq.
