Proof Terms as Invariants

December 9, 2016

This is a talk on proof theory for Melbourne Logic Day.

Abstract: In this talk, I will explain how proof terms for derivations in classical propositional logic are invariants for derivations under a natural class of permutations of rules. The result is two independent characterisations of one underlying notion of proof identity.
