Title
Alpha-conversion and typability
Abstract
There are two results in this paper. We first prove that alpha-conversion on types can be eliminated from the second-order λ -calculus F of Girard and Reynolds without affecting the typing power of the system. On the other hand we show that it is impossible to eliminate alpha-conversion on universally quantified variables in the higher-order λ -calculus F ω of Girard, by exhibiting a term which is typable in F ω with alpha-conversion but not typable in F ω without alpha-conversion.
