A Classical Sequent Calculus with Dependent Types

Résumé

Dependent types are a key feature of the type systems used by the proof assistants based on the intuitionistic Curry-Howard correspondence. On the other hand, this correspondence can be extended to classical logic provided the language of proofs is enriched with control operators. Alas, control operators are known to misbehave in the presence of dependent types, unless dependencies are restricted to values. Besides, while sequent calculi smoothly support abstract machine and continuation-passing style interpretations, there is no such presentation of a language with dependent types. The main achievement of this paper is to give a sequent calculus presentation of a call-by-value language with a control operator and dependent types, and to justify its soundness through a continuation-passing style translation. We start from the call-by-value version of the λµµ˜-language and design a minimal language with a value restriction and a type system that includes a list of explicit dependencies and maintains type safety. We then show how to relax the value restriction and introduce delimited continuations to directly prove the consistency by means of a continuation-passing-style translation. Finally, we relate our calculus to a similar system by Lepigre, and present a methodology to transfer properties from this system to our own.
