Modeling Univalence in Inverse Diagrams
I have just posted the following preprint, which presents new set-theoretic models of univalence in categories of simplicial diagrams over inverse categories (or, more generally, diagrams over inverse categories starting from any existing model of univalence). The univalence axiom for … Continue reading
Modeling Univalence in Subtoposes
In my recent post at the n-Category Café, I described a notion of “higher modality” in type theory, which semantically ought to represent a left-exact-reflective sub–category of an -topos — once we can prove that homotopy type theory has models … Continue reading
Canonicity for 2-Dimensional Type Theory
A consequence of the univalence axiom is that isomorphic types are equivalent (propositionally equal), and therefore interchangable in any context (by the identity eliminaiton rule J). Type isomorphisms arise frequently in dependently typed programming, where types are often refined to … Continue reading
Oberwolfach Report
Richard Garner has now completed and posted the report from the Oberwolfach meeting.
Function Extensionality from Univalence
Andrej Bauer and Peter Lumsdaine have worked out a proof of Function Extensionality from Univalence that is somewhat different from Vladimir Voevodsky’s original. In it, they identify and employ a very useful consequence of Univalence: induction along weak-equivalences. Andrej has … Continue reading
