Translating developments over different foundations

81 Views Asked by At

More and more often, different foundations of mathematics emerging. In some cases, they even rebuild classical theorems (e.g. number theory, Cartan geometry [1].. etc) on top of it. Some foundations have the merit that theorems seem to be more easily checked by computer programs, see [1] for example. This is certainly exciting to me. However, a concern naturally arises as in other subjects: the size of the community.

That makes me wonder, is there anyone working on translating theorems from one to another, so that people prove B' based on B can still contribute to that based on A? After all, the community based on ZFC has much longer history.. and I don't think it's practical to reconstruct all of them "manually".
