Introduction In the current part we develop a general account of a very simple class of formal languages – namely, zero-order languages. For these purposes, a zero-order language (ZOL) is a formal language in which every grammatical expression is either a sentence (category S) or a sentential connective (category Sk¢S). See Appendix A3 for a general description of categorial grammar. 2. The Meta-Language In the current part, the meta-language (English+) is specified informally as follows. (1) Metalinguistic variables: lower case Greek letters (with or without subscripts) are constants and variables that range over strings of symbols. (2) Quote-Notation: the official name of a string of symbols of the object language is obtained by enclosing that string in single quotes. (3) String concatenation: this operation is explicitly indicated – by the plus sign ‘+’. Algebraically speaking, the plus operation is associative, so parentheses are dropped [e.g., ‘a+b+g’]. (4) Metaphysics: As it turns out, our notation cannot distinguish between the letter ‘a’ and the word ‘a’. Furthermore, our metaphysics supports this “confusion” — we treat strings mereologically; in particular, we regard

Abstract An indexed inductive definition (IID) is a simultaneous inductive definition of an indexed family of sets. An inductive-recursive definition (IRD) is a simultaneous inductive definition of a set and a recursive definition of a function from that set into another type. An indexed inductive-recursive definition (IIRD) is a combination of both. We present a closed theory which allows us to introduce all IIRDs in a natural way without much encoding. By specialising it we also get a closed theory of IID. Our theory of IIRDs includes essentially all definitions of sets which occur in Martin-L¨of type theory. We show in particular that Martin-L¨of's computability predicates for dependent types and Palmgren's higher order universes are special kinds of IIRD and thereby clarify why they are constructively acceptable notions. We give two axiomatisations. The first and more restricted one formalises a prin- ciple for introducing meaningful IIRD by using the data-construct in the original version of the proof assistant Agda for Martin-L¨of type theory. The second one admits a more general form of introduction rule, including the introduction rule for the intensional identity relation, which is not covered by the restricted one.

    15-819 Homotopy Type Theory Lecture Notes Nathan Fulton October 9 and 11, 2013 1 Contents These notes summarize and extend two lectures from Bob Harper’s Homotopy Type Theory course. The cumulative hierarchy of type universes, Extensional Type theory, the ∞-groupoid structure of types and iterated identity types are presented. 2 Motivation and Overview Recall from previous lectures the definitions of functionality and transport. Function- ality states that functions preserve identity; that is, domain elements equal in their type map to equal elements in the codomain. Transportation states the same for 0 0 type families. Traditionally, this means that if a =A a , then B[a] true iff B[a ] true. In proof-relevant mathematics, this logical equivalence is generalized to a statement 0 0 about identity in the family: if a =A a , then B[a] =B B[a ]. Transportation can be thought of in terms of functional extensionality. Un- fortunately, extensionality fails in ITT. One way to recover extensionality, which comports with traditional mathematics, is to reduce all identity to reflexivity. This approach, called Extensional Type theory (ETT), provides a natural setting for set-level mathematics. The HoTT perspective on ETT is that the path structure of types need not be limited to that of strict sets. The richer path structure of an ∞-groupoid is induced by the induction principle for identity types. Finding a type-theoretic description of this behavior (that is, introduction, elimination and computation rules which comport with Gentzen’s Inversion Principle) is an open problem. 1 Homotopy Type Theory 3 The Cumulative Hierarchy of Universes In previous formulations of ITT, we used the judgement A type when forming types.

  • (Ie a Natural Model) Closed Under a Particular Connec
    CONNECTIVES IN SEMANTICS OF TYPE THEORY JONATHAN STERLING Abstract. Some expository notes on the semantics of inductive types in Awodey’s nat- ural models [Awo18]. Many of the ideas explained are drawn from the work of Awodey [Awo18], Streicher [Str14], Gratzer, Kavvos, Nuyts, and Birkedal [Gra+20], and Sterling, Angiuli, and Gratzer [SAG20]. When is a model of type theory (i.e. a natural model) closed under a particular connec- tive? And what is a general notion of connective? Leing C be a small category with a terminal object and E = Pr¹Cº be its logos1 of presheaves, a natural model is a representable natural transformation TÛ τ T : E [Awo18]. j Connectives that commute with the Yoneda embedding C E (such as dependent product and sum) may be specied in a particularly simple way. ! F ! (1) First, one denes an endofunctor Ecart Ecart taking a family (viewed as a uni- verse) to the generic family for that connective. e intuition for this family is that the upstairs part carries the data of its introduction rule, and the downstairs part carries the data of its formation rule. For instance, one may take F to be the endofunctor that takes a map f to the functorial action of the polynomial endofunctor Pf on f itself. In this case, one has the notion of a dependent product type. (2) en, one requires a cartesian mapF¹τº τ, i.e. a pullback square of the following kind: Û @0¹F¹τºº T F¹τº τ @1¹F¹τºº T In the case of our example, the downstairs map becomes a code for the depen- dent product type, and the upstairs map becomes a constructor for λ-abstraction.

    15-819 Homotopy Type Theory Lecture Notes Henry DeYoung and Stephanie Balzer September 9 and 11, 2013 1 Contents These notes summarize the lectures on homotopy type theory (HoTT) given by Professor Robert Harper on September 9 and 11, 2013, at CMU. They start by providing a introduction to HoTT, capturing its main ideas and its connection to other related type theories. Then they present intuitionistic propositional logic (IPL), giving both an proof-theoretic formulation as well an order-theoretic formulation. 2 Introduction to homotopy type theory Homotopy type theory(HoTT) is the subject of a very active research community that gathered at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in 2012 to participate in the Univalent Foundations Program. The results of the program have been recently published in the HoTT Book [1]. 2.1 HoTT in a nutshell HoTT is based on Per Martin-L¨of’s intuitionistic type theory, which provides a foun- dation for intuitionistic mathematics and which is an extension of Brouwer’s program. Brouwer viewed mathematical reasoning as a human activity and mathematics as a language for communicating mathematical concepts. As a result, Brouwer per- ceived the ability of executing a step-by-step procedure or algorithm for performing a construction as a fundamental human faculty. Adopting Brouwer’s constructive viewpoint, intuitionistic theories view proofs as the fundamental forms of construction. The notion of proof relevance is thus a 1 Homotopy Type Theory characteristic feature of an intuitionistic (or constructive1) approach. In the context of HoTT, proof relevance means that proofs become mathematical objects [3]. To fully understand this standpoint, it is necessary to draw a distinction between the notion of a proof and the one of a formal proof [3, 2].

    INDUCTIVE TYPES IN HOMOTOPY TYPE THEORY STEVE AWODEY, NICOLA GAMBINO, AND KRISTINA SOJAKOVA Abstract. Homotopy type theory is an interpretation of Martin-L¨of’s con- structive type theory into abstract homotopy theory. There results a link between constructive mathematics and algebraic topology, providing topologi- cal semantics for intensional systems of type theory as well as a computational approach to algebraic topology via type theory-based proof assistants such as Coq. The present work investigates inductive types in this setting. Modified rules for inductive types, including types of well-founded trees, or W-types, are presented, and the basic homotopical semantics of such types are determined. Proofs of all results have been formally verified by the Coq proof assistant, and the proof scripts for this verification form an essential component of this research. Introduction The constructive type theories introduced by Martin-L¨of are dependently-typed λ- calculi with operations for identity types IdA(a,b), dependent products (Πx : A)B(x) and dependent sums (Σx : A)B(x), among others [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. These are related to the basic concepts of predicate logic, viz. equality and quantification, via the familiar propositions-as-types correspondence [6]. The different systems introduced by Martin-L¨of over the years vary greatly both in proof-theoretic strength [7] and computational properties. From the computational point of view, it is important to distinguish between the extensional systems, that have a stronger notion of equality, but for which type-checking is undecidable, and the intensional ones, that have a weaker notion of equality, but for which type-checking is decidable [8, 9].
