我在伊德里斯写了group的定义:
data Group: Type -> Type where
Unit: (x: t) -> Group t
(*): Group t -> Group t -> Group t
Inv: Group t -> Group t
postulate
assoc: (a : Group t) -> (b : Group t) -> (c : Group t) -> ((a*b)*c = a*(b*c))
postulate
neutralL: (x: t) -> (a : Group t) -> a * Unit x = a
postulate
neutralR: (x: t) -> (a : Group t) -> Unit x * a = a
postulate
invUnitL: (x: t) -> (a : Group t) -> a * (Inv a) = Unit x
postulate
invUnitR: (x: t) -> (a : Group t) -> (Inv a) * a = Unit x
然后我证明了几个简单的命题:
cong : (a : Group t) -> (b : Group t) -> (c: Group t) -> a = b -> a*c = b*c
cong a b c post = rewrite post in Refl
neutralL1: (x: t) -> (a : Group t) -> a = a * Unit x
neutralL1 x a = rewrite neutralL x a in Refl
neutralR1: (x: t) -> (a : Group t) -> a = Unit x * a
neutralR1 x a = rewrite neutralR x a in Refl
但是,我有一个问题,证明只有一个单位元素:
singleUnit : (x: t) -> (y: t) -> (Unit x = Unit y)
我尝试使用一般概念的各种表达方式Unit x
=(neutralL1 y (Unit x)
)= Unit x * Unit y
=(neutralR x (Unit y)
})= Unit y
,但是没有成功:
singleUnit x y = rewrite neutralL1 y (Unit x) in neutralR x (Unit y)
singleUnit x y = rewrite neutralL1 y (Unit x) in rewrite neutralR x (Unit y) in Refl
singleUnit x y = rewrite neutralR x (Unit y) in neutralL1 y (Unit x)
singleUnit x y = rewrite neutralR x (Unit y) in rewrite neutralL1 y (Unit x) in Refl
我该如何证明这一点?
我有一种感觉,这里的问题与复杂表达式的替换有关,比如Unit x * Unit y
。

不幸的是,这个群体的定义不起作用。一般来说,你必须非常小心地引入新的公理(假设)。
E.g。很容易看出neutralL
违反了(不同的)数据构造函数的不相交原则,即Constr1 <data> != Constr2 <data>
。
starAndUnitAreDisjoint : (*) a (Unit x) = a -> Void
starAndUnitAreDisjoint Refl impossible
现在我们可以证明是假的:
contradiction : Void
contradiction = starAndUnitAreDisjoint $ neutralL Z (Unit Z)
Finita la commedia!
您真正想要的是record
或类型类,请参阅例如contrib/Control/Algebra.idr和contrib/Interfaces/Verified.idr。此外,Agda版本在语法上非常接近Idris(agda-stdlib/src/Algebra.agda,可能还有Abstract Algebra in Agda教程) - 您可能希望看一下它们。

您的组定义的结构是有意义的,如果它是一个接口。我按如下方式重写了它,尽可能保留原始变量和函数名称:
%default total
interface Group t where
Unit: t
(*): t -> t -> t
Inv: t -> t
assoc: (a : t) -> (b : t) -> (c : t) -> ((a*b)*c = a*(b*c))
neutralL: (x: t) -> (a : t) -> a * Unit = a
neutralR: (x: t) -> (a : t) -> Unit * a = a
invUnitL: (x: t) -> (a : t) -> a * (Inv a) = Unit
invUnitR: (x: t) -> (a : t) -> (Inv a) * a = Unit
cong : Group t => (a : t) -> (b : t) -> (c: t) -> a = b -> a*c = b*c
cong a b c post = rewrite post in Refl
neutralL1: Group t => (x: t) -> (a : t) -> a = a * Unit
neutralL1 x a = rewrite neutralL x a in Refl
neutralR1: Group t => (x: t) -> (a : t) -> a = Unit * a
neutralR1 x a = rewrite neutralR x a in Refl
is_left_unit : Group t => (x : t) -> Type
is_left_unit x = (y : t) -> x * y = y
only_one_left_unit : Group t => (x : t) -> is_left_unit x -> x = Unit
only_one_left_unit x is_left_unit_x =
let x_times_unit_is_unit = is_left_unit_x Unit in
let x_times_unit_is_x = neutralL Unit x in
trans (sym x_times_unit_is_x) x_times_unit_is_unit
is_right_unit : Group t => (x : t) -> Type
is_right_unit x = (y : t) -> y * x = y
only_one_right_unit : Group t => (x : t) -> is_right_unit x -> x = Unit
only_one_right_unit x is_right_unit_x =
let unit_times_x_is_unit = is_right_unit_x Unit in
let unit_times_x_is_x = neutralR Unit x in
trans (sym unit_times_x_is_x) unit_times_x_is_unit
您会注意到类型t
实际上是组类型,而Unit
是一个值而不是具有一个参数的函数。我已经定义了单独的函数is_left_unit
和is_right_unit
,分别代表左或右单位的概念。
为了确保所有这一切都有意义,我们希望定义一些实际的具体组,为Unit
,*
和Inv
提供实现,并为{{1}提供实现},assoc
,neutralL
,neutralR
和invUnitL
代表证明义务。
