Types are Internal 1-groupoids Antoine Allioux∗, Eric Finstery, Matthieu Sozeauz ∗Inria & University of Paris, France [email protected] yUniversity of Birmingham, United Kingdom ericfi[email protected] zInria, France [email protected] Abstract—By extending type theory with a universe of defini- attempts to import these ideas into plain homotopy type theory tionally associative and unital polynomial monads, we show how have, so far, failed. 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. -

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]. -

A Few Points in Topos Theory
A few points in topos theory Sam Zoghaib∗ Abstract This paper deals with two problems in topos theory; the construction of finite pseudo-limits and pseudo-colimits in appropriate sub-2-categories of the 2-category of toposes, and the definition and construction of the fundamental groupoid of a topos, in the context of the Galois theory of coverings; we will take results on the fundamental group of étale coverings in [1] as a starting example for the latter. We work in the more general context of bounded toposes over Set (instead of starting with an effec- tive descent morphism of schemes). Questions regarding the existence of limits and colimits of diagram of toposes arise while studying this prob- lem, but their general relevance makes it worth to study them separately. We expose mainly known constructions, but give some new insight on the assumptions and work out an explicit description of a functor in a coequalizer diagram which was as far as the author is aware unknown, which we believe can be generalised. This is essentially an overview of study and research conducted at dpmms, University of Cambridge, Great Britain, between March and Au- gust 2006, under the supervision of Martin Hyland.

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.

A Small Complete Category
Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 40 (1988) 135-165 135 North-Holland A SMALL COMPLETE CATEGORY J.M.E. HYLAND Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statktics, 16 Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 ISB, England Communicated by D. van Dalen Received 14 October 1987 0. Introduction This paper is concerned with a remarkable fact. The effective topos contains a small complete subcategory, essentially the familiar category of partial equiv- alence realtions. This is in contrast to the category of sets (indeed to all Grothendieck toposes) where any small complete category is equivalent to a (complete) poset. Note at once that the phrase ‘a small complete subcategory of a topos’ is misleading. It is not the subcategory but the internal (small) category which matters. Indeed for any ordinary subcategory of a topos there may be a number of internal categories with global sections equivalent to the given subcategory. The appropriate notion of subcategory is an indexed (or better fibred) one, see 0.1. Another point that needs attention is the definition of completeness (see 0.2). In my talk at the Church’s Thesis meeting, and in the first draft of this paper, I claimed too strong a form of completeness for the internal category. (The elementary oversight is described in 2.7.) Fortunately during the writing of [13] my collaborators Edmund Robinson and Giuseppe Rosolini noticed the mistake. Again one needs to pay careful attention to the ideas of indexed (or fibred) categories. The idea that small (sufficiently) complete categories in toposes might exist, and would provide the right setting in which to discuss models for strong polymorphism (quantification over types), was suggested to me by Eugenio Moggi. -
Homotopical Categories: from Model Categories to ( ,)-Categories ∞
HOMOTOPICAL CATEGORIES: FROM MODEL CATEGORIES TO ( ;1)-CATEGORIES 1 EMILY RIEHL Abstract. This chapter, written for Stable categories and structured ring spectra, edited by Andrew J. Blumberg, Teena Gerhardt, and Michael A. Hill, surveys the history of homotopical categories, from Gabriel and Zisman’s categories of frac- tions to Quillen’s model categories, through Dwyer and Kan’s simplicial localiza- tions and culminating in ( ;1)-categories, first introduced through concrete mod- 1 els and later re-conceptualized in a model-independent framework. This reader is not presumed to have prior acquaintance with any of these concepts. Suggested exercises are included to fertilize intuitions and copious references point to exter- nal sources with more details. A running theme of homotopy limits and colimits is included to explain the kinds of problems homotopical categories are designed to solve as well as technical approaches to these problems.

As an immediate consequence, we obtain a categorification of the Hecke algebra. We suggest an explicit connection to new higher isomorphisms arising from incidence geometries, which are solutions of the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation. This paper is expository in style and is meant as a companion to Higher Dimensional Algebra VII: Groupoidification and an exploration of structures arising in the work in progress, Higher Dimensional Algebra VIII: The Hecke Bicategory, which introduces the Hecke bicategory in detail. Keywords: Hecke algebras; categorification; groupoidification; Yang–Baxter equations; Zamalodchikov tetrahedron equations; spans; enriched bicategories; buildings; incidence geometries 1. Introduction Categorification is, in part, the attempt to shed new light on familiar mathematical notions by replacing a set-theoretic interpretation with a category-theoretic analogue. Loosely speaking, categorification replaces sets, or more generally n-categories, with categories, or more generally (n + 1)-categories, and functions with functors. By replacing interesting equations by isomorphisms, or more generally equivalences, this process often brings to light a new layer of structure previously hidden from view.
