Second-Order Isomorphic Types

Book cover Isomorphisms of Types

Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to the proof of completeness of Th2 xT for iso­morphisms in λ2 βηπ✻. This proof is by far the most complex present in this book, because in the second-order case we have to face the problem of invertibility of terms almost anew, and we can no longer avoid it as we did for the first-order systems.
