Although by some referred to as abstract nonsense, the idea of categories allows one to talk about mathematical objects and their relationions in a general setting. Its origins lie in the field of algebraic topology, one of the topics that will be explored in this thesis. First, a concise introduction to categories will be given. -

This appears to be a result of a kind of to arrive at a definition of opetopic type which is able to encode circularity: all of the known classical techniques at some point a number of fully coherent algebraic structures. In particular, our approach leads to a definition of 1-groupoid internal to rely on set-level algebraic structures themselves (presheaves, type theory and we prove that the type of such 1-groupoids is operads, or something similar) as a means of presenting or equivalent to the universe of types. -
A Very Short Note on Homotopy Λ-Calculus
A very short note on homotopy λ-calculus Vladimir Voevodsky September 27, 2006, October 10, 2009 The homotopy λ-calculus is a hypothetical (at the moment) type system. To some extent one may say that Hλ is an attempt to bridge the gap between the "classical" type systems such as the ones of PVS or HOL Light and polymorphic type systems such as the one of Coq. The main problem with the polymorphic type systems lies in the properties of the equality types. As soon as we have a universe U of which P rop is a member we are in trouble. In the Boolean case, P rop has an automorphism of order 2 (the negation) and it is clear that this automorphism should correspond to a member of Eq(U; P rop; P rop). However, as far as I understand there is no way to produce such a member in, say, Coq. A related problem looks as follows. Suppose T;T 0 : U are two type expressions and there exists an isomorphism T ! T 0 (the later notion of course requires the notion of equality for members of T and T 0). Clearly, any proposition which is true for T should be true for T 0 i.e. for all functions P : U ! P rop one should have P (T ) = P (T 0). Again as far as I understand this can not be proved in Coq no matter what notion of equality for members of T and T 0 we use. Here is the general picture as I understand it at the moment. -

Sequent Calculus and Equational Programming (Work in Progress)
Sequent Calculus and Equational Programming (work in progress) Nicolas Guenot and Daniel Gustafsson IT University of Copenhagen {ngue,dagu}@itu.dk Proof assistants and programming languages based on type theories usually come in two flavours: one is based on the standard natural deduction presentation of type theory and involves eliminators, while the other provides a syntax in equational style. We show here that the equational approach corresponds to the use of a focused presentation of a type theory expressed as a sequent calculus. A typed functional language is presented, based on a sequent calculus, that we relate to the syntax and internal language of Agda. In particular, we discuss the use of patterns and case splittings, as well as rules implementing inductive reasoning and dependent products and sums. 1 Programming with Equations Functional programming has proved extremely useful in making the task of writing correct software more abstract and thus less tied to the specific, and complex, architecture of modern computers. This, is in a large part, due to its extensive use of types as an abstraction mechanism, specifying in a crisp way the intended behaviour of a program, but it also relies on its declarative style, as a mathematical approach to functions and data structures. However, the vast gain in expressivity obtained through the development of dependent types makes the programming task more challenging, as it amounts to the question of proving complex theorems — as illustrated by the double nature of proof assistants such as Coq [11] and Agda [18]. Keeping this task as simple as possible is then of the highest importance, and it requires the use of a clear declarative style. -
On Modeling Homotopy Type Theory in Higher Toposes

Review: model categories for type theory Left exact localizations Injective fibrations Some caveats 1 Classical metatheory: ZFC with inaccessible cardinals. 2 Classical homotopy theory: simplicial sets. (It's not clear which cubical sets can even model the (1; 1)-topos of 1-groupoids.) 3 Will not mention \elementary (1; 1)-toposes" (though we can deduce partial results about them by Yoneda embedding). 4 Not the full \internal language hypothesis" that some \homotopy theory of type theories" is equivalent to the homotopy theory of some kind of (1; 1)-category. Only a unidirectional interpretation | in the useful direction! 5 We assume the initiality hypothesis: a \model of type theory" means a CwF. -

Mulvey studied the algebraic proper- ties of the object of continuous reals and proved that the construction gave the sheaf of germs of continuous functions from X to R in the spatial topos Sh(X). This paper presents the results of the study of the topological prop- erties of the continuous reals with an emphasis on similarities with classi- cal mathematics and applications to familiar concepts rephrased in topos terms. The notations used for the constructions in the internal logic of a topos conform to that of Osius [11]. -

The Petit Topos of Globular Sets

S. W. 2109, Australia Communicated by M. Tierney Dedicated to Bill Lawvere Abstract There are now several deÿnitions of weak !-category [1,2,5,19]. What is pleasing is that they are not achieved by ad hoc combinatorics. In particular, the theory of higher operads which underlies Michael Batanin’s deÿnition is based on globular sets. The purpose of this paper is to show that many of the concepts of [2] (also see [17]) arise in the natural development of category theory internal to the petit 1 topos Glob of globular sets. For example, higher spans turn out to be internal sets, and, in a sense, trees turn out to be internal natural numbers. c 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. MSC: 18D05 1.

Geometric Modality and Weak Exponentials
Geometric Modality and Weak Exponentials Amirhossein Akbar Tabatabai ∗ Institute of Mathematics Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic [email protected] Abstract The intuitionistic implication and hence the notion of function space in constructive disciplines is both non-geometric and impred- icative. In this paper we try to solve both of these problems by first introducing weak exponential objects as a formalization for predica- tive function spaces and then by proposing modal spaces as a way to introduce a natural family of geometric predicative implications based on the interplay between the concepts of time and space. This combination then leads to a brand new family of modal propositional logics with predicative implications and then to topological semantics for these logics and some weak modal and sub-intuitionistic logics, as well. Finally, we will lift these notions and the corresponding relations to a higher and more structured level of modal topoi and modal type theory. 1 Introduction Intuitionistic logic appears in different many branches of mathematics with arXiv:1711.01736v1 [math.LO] 6 Nov 2017 many different and interesting incarnations. In geometrical world it plays the role of the language of a topological space via topological semantics and in a higher and more structured level, it becomes the internal logic of any elementary topoi. On the other hand and in the theory of computations, the intuitionistic logic shows its computational aspects as a method to describe the behavior of computations using realizability interpretations and in cate- gory theory it becomes the syntax of the very central class of Cartesian closed categories. -

The goal of this thesis is to describe the Constructive Elementary Theory of the Category of Sets (CETCS), following its presentation by Erik Palmgren in [2]. In chapter 2. we discuss basic elements of Category Theory. Category Theory was first formulated in the year 1945 by Eilenberg and Mac Lane in their paper \General theory of natural equivalences" and is the study of generalized functions, called arrows, in an abstract algebra.
