Quadratic type checking for objective type theory

Logic in Computer Science 2021-02-02 v1

Abstract

We introduce a modification of standard Martin-Lof type theory in which we eliminate definitional equality and replace all computation rules by propositional equalities. We show that type checking for such a system can be done in quadratic time and that it has a natural homotopy-theoretic semantics.
