Categories with Dependence and Semantics of Dependent Types

Category Theory 2019-02-26 v3 Logic in Computer Science

Abstract

The present paper gives a generalization of cartesian closed categories, called cartesian closed categories with dependence, whose strict version induces categories with families that support 1-, Sigma- and Pi-types in the strict sense. Consequently, we have obtained a new semantics of dependent type theories that is both categorical and true-to-syntax.
