Abstract

Hybrid logic extends modal logic with nominals that name worlds. Seligman-style tableau systems for hybrid logic divide branches into blocks named by nominals to achieve a local proof style. We present a Seligman-style tableau system with a formalization in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. Our system refines an existing system to simplify formalization and we claim termination from this relationship. Existing completeness proofs that account for termination are either analytic or based on translation, but synthetic proofs have been shown to generalize to richer logics and languages. Our main result is the first synthetic completeness proof for a terminating hybrid logic tableau system. It is also the first formalized completeness proof for any hybrid logic proof system.
