Abstract

The proofs of the Church-Rosser theorems for β, η and β ∪ η reduction in untyped λ-calculus are formalized in Isabelle/HOL, an implementation of Higher Order Logic in the generic theorem prover Isabelle. For β-reduction, both the standard proof and the variation by Takahashi are given and compared. All proofs are based on a general theory of commutating relations which supports an almost geometric style of confluence proofs.
