Template:Distinguish Herbrand's theorem is a fundamental result of mathematical logic obtained by Jacques Herbrand (1930). It essentially allows a certain kind of reduction of first-order logic to propositional logic. Although Herbrand originally proved his theorem for arbitrary formulas of first-order logic, the simpler version shown here, restricted to formulas in prenex form containing only existential quantifiers became more popular.

Let

$(\exists y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})F(y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})$

be a formula of first-order logic with

$F(y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})$ quantifier-free.

Then

$(\exists y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})F(y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})$

is valid if and only if there exists a finite sequence of terms: $t_{ij}$, with

$1\leq i\leq k$ and $1\leq j\leq n$,

such that

$F(t_{11},\ldots ,t_{1n})\vee \ldots \vee F(t_{k1},\ldots ,t_{kn})$

is valid. If it is valid,

$F(t_{11},\ldots ,t_{1n})\vee \ldots \vee F(t_{k1},\ldots ,t_{kn})$

is called a Herbrand disjunction for

$(\exists y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})F(y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n}).$

Informally: a formula $A$ in prenex form containing existential quantifiers only is provable (valid) in first-order logic if and only if a disjunction composed of substitution instances of the quantifier-free subformula of $A$ is a tautology (propositionally derivable).

The restriction to formulas in prenex form containing only existential quantifiers does not limit the generality of the theorem, because formulas can be converted to prenex form and their universal quantifiers can be removed by Herbrandization. Conversion to prenex form can be avoided, if structural Herbrandization is performed. Herbrandization can be avoided by imposing additional restrictions on the variable dependencies allowed in the Herbrand disjunction.

Proof Sketch

A proof of the non-trivial direction of the theorem can be constructed according to the following steps:

1. If the formula $(\exists y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})F(y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})$ is valid, then by completeness of cut-free sequent calculus, which follows from Gentzen's cut-elimination theorem, there is a cut-free proof of $\vdash (\exists y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})F(y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})$.
2. Starting from above downwards, remove the inferences that introduce existential quantifiers.
3. Remove contraction-inferences on previously existentially quantified formulas, since the formulas (now with terms substituted for previously quantified variables) might not be identical anymore after the removal of the quantifier inferences.
4. The removal of contractions accumulates all the relevant substitution instances of $F(y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n})$ in the right side of the sequent, thus resulting in a proof of $\vdash F(t_{11},\ldots ,t_{1n}),\ldots ,F(t_{k1},\ldots ,t_{kn})$, from which the Herbrand disjunction can be obtained.

However, sequent calculus and cut-elimination were not known at the time of Herbrand's theorem, and Herbrand had to prove his theorem in a more complicated way.

Generalizations of Herbrand's Theorem

• Herbrand's theorem has been extended to arbitrary higher-order logics by using expansion-tree proofs. The deep representation of expansion-tree proofs correspond to Herbrand disjunctions, when restricted to first-order logic.

• Herbrand disjunctions and expansion-tree proofs have been extended with a notion of cut. Due to the complexity of cut-elimination, herbrand disjunctions with cuts can be non-elementarily smaller than a standard herbrand disjunction.

• Herbrand disjunctions have been generalized to Herbrand sequents, allowing Herbrand's theorem to be stated for sequents: "a skolemized sequent is derivable iff it has a Herbrand sequent".
