Episode 5
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I discuss the paper Nominal Techniques in Isabelle/HOL, by Christian Urban. This paper shows how to reason with terms modulo alpha-equivalence, using ideas from nominal logic. The basic idea is that instead of renamings, one works with permutations of names.
