    • Turing's proof of normalization for STLC
      May 21 2024

      In this episode, I describe the first proof of normalization for STLC, written by Alan Turing in the 1940s. See this short note for Turing's original proof and some historical comments.

    • Introduction to normalization for STLC
      May 14 2024

      In this episode, after a quick review of the preceding couple, I discuss the property of normalization for STLC, and talk a bit about proof methods. We will look at proofs in more detail in the coming episodes. Feel free to join the Telegram group for the podcast if you want to discuss anything (or just email me at aaron.stump@gmail.com).

    • The curious case of exponentiation in simply typed lambda calculus
      May 4 2024

      Like addition and multiplication on Church-encoded numbers, exponentiation can be assigned a type in simply typed lambda calculus (STLC). But surprisingly, the type is non-uniform. If we abbreviate (A -> A) -> A -> A as Nat_A, then exponentiation, which is defined as \ x . \ y . y x, can be assigned type Nat_A -> Nat_(A -> A) -> Nat_A. The second argument needs to have type at strictly higher order than the first argument. This has the fascinating consequence that we cannot define self-exponentiation, \ x . exp x x. That term would reduce to \ x . x x, which is provably not typable in STLC.
