Stack Semantics of Type Theory

Logic in Computer Science 2017-04-21 v2

Abstract

We give a model of dependent type theory with one univalent universe and propositional truncation interpreting a type as a stack, generalising the groupoid model of type theory. As an application, we show that countable choice cannot be proved in dependent type theory with one univalent universe and propositional truncation.
