Combinatorial Proofs and Decomposition Theorems for First-order Logic

Résumé

We uncover a close relationship between combinatorial and syntactic proofs for first-order logic (without equality). Whereas syntactic proofs are formalized in a deductive proof system based on inference rules, a combinatorial proof is a syntax-free presentation of a proof that is independent from any set of inference rules. We show that the two proof representations are related via a deep inference decomposition theorem that establishes a new kind of normal form for syntactic proofs. This yields (a) a simple proof of soundness and completeness for firstorder combinatorial proofs, and (b) a full completeness theorem: every combinatorial proof is the image of a syntactic proof.
