[论文解读] Looking from the inside and from the outside
本文通過將有限生成的群與域嵌入邏輯公式空間,探討數學結構的內在(證明論性)與外在(幾何/拓撲)描述之間的對偶性。利用證明論中的可行性與切割消除,構造了群上的新幾何結構以及有理數上的動態結構,揭示了含切割的簡短證明與底層對稱性或動態過程之間的關聯。
One often sees a sharp distinction in mathematics between descriptions from the outside and from the inside. Think of defining a set in the plane through an algebraic equation, or dynamically as the closure of the orbit of some point under iterations of a given mapping. In logic one sees this dichotomy in the descriptions of sets of tautologies through semantics and proofs. Logic provides several tools for making outer descriptions of mathematical objects. This paper concerns a slightly complicated mixture of themes related to inner descriptions and formal proofs. We use the notion of feasibility to embed mathematical structures into spaces of logical formulas, from which we can obtain new structures through proofs. We present new geometries on finitely generated groups through proofs, and new structure on the rational numbers (or other fields) which is susceptible to dynamical processes, such as the action of $SL(2,Z)$ by projective transformations. We consider the topological notion of {\em Serre fibrations}. This entails more difficulties of formalization, but basic points arise already for {\em torus bundles}, which present exponential distortion through cycling in a nicely geometric way. One of our goals is to bring out mathematical structure related to cuts and cut elimination. Our geometry on groups through proofs is far from the word metric precisely because of the cut rule. We want to explore the idea that in general the existence of short proofs with cuts should be related to internal symmetry or dynamical processes in the underlying mathematical objects. We also want to bring ordinary mathematical proofs closer to proof theory. In this regard the topological example is attractive for presenting realistic difficulties.

- 短證明中存在切割被證明與底層數學對象中的內在對稱性或動態過程密切相關。
- 有理數可被賦予在 SL(2,ℤ) 作用下不變的新結構,透過證明論嵌入揭示隱藏的動態行為。
- 環面叢顯示群元素的指數扭曲,此現象在幾何上可見,且與證明中切割的存在正式連結。
- Serre 纖維叢在證明論中形式化具挑戰性,但其簡化形式(如環面叢)已揭示拓撲與證明結構之間的深刻連結。
