Hello,
it’s been many years since I touched Isabelle and the Nominal2 package,
but I keep bragging about this way of handling bindings when talking to
users of Coq etc.
I might want to do some PLTish experiments, and maybe I’ll just try to
use Isabelle and Nominal2 again. But I can’t find a manual or tutorial
to refresh my memory… it seems that
https://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/download.html
is rather out of date, and
https://www.isa-afp.org/entries/Nominal2.html
contains the code, but not much in terms of guidance.
I also found https://lmcs.episciences.org/813 which seems useful. Maybe
it should be linked from the two places above?
Is there any other material worth knowing?
(I just noticed that my own thesis has a intro section on nominal logic
and Nominal, but only very cursory, of course:
https://www.joachim-breitner.de/thesis/diss.pdf )
Cheers,
Joachim

Dear Joachim,
Yes, unfortunately documentation is lacking. The link
is indeed outdated, but Nominal2 made it into the AFP as a module and the code is maintained for the latest Isabelle (as I am writing Isabelle 2021-1). In addition to the paper you quote, the following paper might be useful in order to understand how atoms and permutations work in Nominal 2 (vs Nominal 1).
Hope this helps,
Christian
