+      <h2>The Formal System &lambda;&delta; (lambda-delta)<a name="lambda-delta"></a></h2>
+      
+      <p>The formal system &lambda;&delta; is a typed &lambda;-calculus that
+         pursues the unification of terms, types, environments and contexts
+	 as the main goal.
+         &lambda;&delta; takes some features from the Automath-related
+	 &lambda;-calculi and some from the pure type systems, but differs
+	 from both in that it does not include the &Pi; construction while it
+	 provides for an abbreviation mechanism at the level of terms.
+      </p>
+
+      <p> The development presents the proofs of some important properties that
+          &lambda;&delta; enjoys. In particular: 
+          <ul> <li> the confluence of reduction </li>
+               <li> the correctness of types </li>
+               <li> the uniqueness of types up to conversion </li>
+               <li> the subject reduction of the type assignment </li>
+               <li> the strong normalization of the typed terms </li>
+               <li> the decidability of type inference problem </li>
+          </ul>
+      </p>
