Conversion of HOL Light proofs into Metamath

We present an algorithm for converting proofs from the OpenTheory interchange format, which can be translated to and from any of the HOL family of proof languages (HOL4, HOL Light, ProofPower, and Isabelle), into the ZFC-based Metamath language. This task is divided into two steps: the translation of an OpenTheory proof into a Metamath HOL formalization, $\mathtt{\text{hol.mm}}$, followed by the embedding of the HOL formalization into the main ZFC foundations of the main Metamath library, $\mathtt{\text{set.mm}}$. This process provides a means to link the simplicity of the Metamath foundations to the intense automation efforts which have borne fruit in HOL Light, allowing the production of complete Metamath proofs of theorems in HOL Light, while also proving that HOL Light is consistent, relative to Metamath's ZFC axiomatization.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures, accepted to Journal of Formalized Reasonin

Formalizing Computability Theory via Partial Recursive Functions

We present an extension to the $\mathtt{mathlib}$ library of the Lean theorem prover formalizing the foundations of computability theory. We use primitive recursive functions and partial recursive functions as the main objects of study, and we use a constructive encoding of partial functions such that they are executable when the programs in question provably halt. Main theorems include the construction of a universal partial recursive function and a proof of the undecidability of the halting problem. Type class inference provides a transparent way to supply G\"{o}del numberings where needed and encapsulate the encoding details.Comment: 16 pages, accepted to ITP 201

The billiard inside an ellipse deformed by the curvature flow

The billiard dynamics inside an ellipse is integrable. It has zero topological entropy, four separatrices in the phase space, and a continuous family of convex caustics: the confocal ellipses. We prove that the curvature flow destroys the integrability, increases the topological entropy, splits the separatrices in a transverse way, and breaks all resonant convex caustics.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figur
