Handling Environments in a Nested Relational Algebra with Combinators and an Implementation in a Verified Query Compiler
Summary: Extends combinator-based NRA with built-in environments (NRAe), enabling natural encoding of views and simpler rewrites while preserving NRA optimizations. Coq-verified query compiler with machine-checked correctness, extracted as executable core. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
