If you have a question about this talk, please contact Anupam Das.

Beth Definability, Craig Interpolation, and their variants have long been seen as an important topic in commputational logic, telling us something about logical simplification. But the rationale for their significance has varied over time, and it is not even clear whether they should be best seen as a property of a logic or of a proof system. In this talk I will look back at the somewhat twisty evolution of the topic, highlighting some issues that have been underexplored. I’ll also present some current work (joint with Pierre Pradic) aimed at filling some of the gaps. No background on interpolation or definability will be assumed in the talk.

This seminar is also an invited talk of both TABLEAUX and FroCoS 2021.
