From Hilbert to Tarski
Résumé
In this paper, we describe the formal proof using the Coq proof assistant that Tarski's axioms for plane neutral geometry (excluding continuity axioms) can be derived from the corresponding Hilbert's axioms. Previously, we mechanized the proof that Tarski's version of the parallel postulate is equivalent to the Playfair's postulate used by Hilbert [9] and that Hilbert's axioms for plane neutral geometry (excluding continuity) can be derived from the corresponding Tarski's axioms [12]. Hence, this work allows us to complete the formal proof of the equivalence between the two axiom systems for neutral and plane Euclidean geometry. Formalizing Hilbert's axioms is not completely straightforward, in this paper we describe the corrections we had to make to our previous formalization. We mechanized the proof of Hilbert's theorems that are required in our proof of Tarski's axioms. But this connection from Hilbert's axioms, allows to recover the many results we obtained previously in the context of Tarski's geometry: this includes the theorems of Pappus[13], Desargues, Pythagoras and the arithmetiza-tion of geometry [8].
