propositions is established; Proof Theory is, in principle at least, the study of the foundations of all of mathematics. Of course, the use of Proof Theory as a foundation for mathematics is of necessity somewhat circular, since Proof Theory is itself a subfleld of mathematics. There are two distinct viewpoints of what a mathematical proof is.
This introduction to the basic ideas of structural proof theory contains a thorough discussion and comparison of various types of formalization of first-order logic. Examples are given of several areas of application, namely: the metamathematics of pure first-order logic (intuitionistic as well as classical); the theory of logic programming; category theory; modal logic; linear logic; first ...

guments, interest in proofs as combinatorial structures in thei r own right was awakened. This is th e subject of structura l proof theory; its tru e beginnings may be dated from the publication of the landmark-paper Gentzen [1935]. Nowadays there are more reasons, besides Hilbert's programme, for study - ing structural proof theory.

the validity of proofs. At the meta level, proofs are treated as mathematical objects of study, and we wish to reason about the properties that proofs and proof systems may have. For example, we may wish to say that a proof system is sound, complete, etc. A brief timeline of the development of proof theory is as follows:
Proofs (also:derivations) are drawn as trees of nested proof rules. Example (Proof/derivation tree) T 1 U T 2 S 1 T 3 S 2 R We sometimes omit the names of proof rules in a proof treeif they are obvious or for space reasons. You should always show them! Every fragment T 1::: T n T of a proof tree must be (an instance of) a proof rule. All proofs ...

The present text is concerned with the more basic parts of structural proof theory. In the first part of this text (chapters 2–7) we study several formalizations of standard logics. “Standard logics”, in this text, means minimal, intuitionistic and classical first-order predicate logic. Chapter 8 describes the connection between cartesian ...
The authors discuss structural proof theory of first-order logic and how it is applied. They assume a basic knowledge of first-order logic and recursion theory. There are a number of chapters devoted to topics related to natural deduction, Gentzen systems, and cut elimination. Other chapters are devoted to resolution proof systems.

Introduction. This paper is an amalgam of two introductory lecture courses given at the Summer School. As the title suggests, the aim is to present fundamental notions of Proof Theory in their simplest settings, thus: Completeness and Cut-Elimination in Pure Predicate Logic; the Curry-Howard Correspondence and Normalization in the core part of Natural Deduction; connections to Sequent Calculus ...

A proof theory for generic judgments The operational semantics of a computation system is often presented as inference rules or, equivalently, as logical theories. Specifications can be made more declarative and high level if syntactic details concerning bound variables and substitutions ...
In our theory these levels are indicated by level indexes such as Type;. They will be defined later. Architecture of type theory. What we have said so far lays out a basic structure for the theory. We start with a class of terms. This is the linguistic material needed for communication. We use variables and substitution of terms for variables to
