Homotopy Type Theory in Lean

Logic in Computer Science 2017-09-21 v2 Logic

Abstract

We discuss the homotopy type theory library in the Lean proof assistant. The library is especially geared toward synthetic homotopy theory. Of particular interest is the use of just a few primitive notions of higher inductive types, namely quotients and truncations, and the use of cubical methods.
