Abstract:
Pure Type Systems are usually described in two different ways, one that
uses an external notion of computation like beta-reduction,
and one that
relies
on a typed judgment of equality, directly in the typing system.
For a long time, the question to know whether both presentations described the
same theory. A first step toward this equivalence has
been made by Adams for a
particular class of PTS called functional. Then, his result
has been relaxed to all semi-full PTS in previous work.
In this paper, we finally give a positive answer to the general issue, and
prove that
equivalence holds for any Pure Type System.
