Abstract

This paper presents a new framework to conduct formal proofs concerning the topology of surface subdivisions. The subdivisions are modeled by hypermaps specified through the Calculus of Inductive Constructions. Proofs are computer-aided using the Coq system. A significant example is emphasized: the proof of the genus theorem and of the Euler formula for hypermaps.
