Weak and strong normalization in pure type systems
OpenAI
Abstract
We prove that every weakly β-normalizing pure type system is strongly β-normalizing. Both properties quantify over all legal expressions in all valid contexts, and reduction acts inside type annotations. No functionality hypothesis is required. This resolves the β-Barendregt–Geuvers–Klop conjecture.
