Failure of Normalization in Impredicative Type Theory with Proof-Irrelevant Propositional Equality


Abstract in English

Normalization fails in type theory with an impredicative universe of propositions and a proof-irrelevant propositional equality. The counterexample to normalization is adapted from Girards counterexample against normalization of System F equipped with a decider for type equality. It refutes Werners normalization conjecture [LMCS 2008].
