On the Strength of Proof-Irrelevant Type Theories
We present a type theory with some proof-irrelevance built into the conversion rule. We argue that this feature is useful when type theory is used as the logical formalism underlyi...

A Modular Type-checking algorithm for Type Theory with Singleton Types and Proof Irrelevance
We define a logical framework with singleton types and one universe of small types. We give the semantics using a PER model; it is used for constructing a normalisation-by-evaluat...

Refinement Types for Logical Frameworks and Their Interpretation as Proof Irrelevance
Refinement types sharpen systems of simple and dependent types by offering expressive means to more precisely classify well-typed terms. We present a system of refinement types for...

Combining Type Theory and Untyped Set Theory
Abstract. We describe a second-order type theory with proof irrelevance. Within this framework, we give a representation of a form of Mac Lane set theory and discuss automated supp...

Proof-Carrying Code in a Session-Typed Process Calculus
Abstract. Dependent session types allow us to describe not only properties of the I/O behavior of processes but also of the exchanged data. In this paper we show how to exploit dep...
