In this short note, we construct a class of models of an extension of homotopy type theory, which we call homotopy type theory with an interval type.
We present a two-level theory to formalize constructive mathematics as advocated in a previous paper with G. Sambin. One level is given by an intensional type theory, called Minimal type theory. This theory extends the set-theoretic version…
Just as links may be algebraically described as certain morphisms in the category of tangles, compact surfaces smoothly embedded in R^4 may be described as certain 2-morphisms in the 2-category of `2-tangles in 4 dimensions'. In this…
We relate the geometry of the resonance varieties associated to a commutative differential graded algebra model of a space to the finiteness properties of the completions of its Alexander-type invariants. We also describe in simple…
We show that contrary to appearances, Multimodal Type Theory (MTT) over a 2-category M can be interpreted in any M-shaped diagram of categories having, and functors preserving, M-sized limits, without the need for extra left adjoints. This…
We consider a type IIA-like string theory with RR-flux in two dimension and propose its matrix model dual. This string theory describes a Majorana fermion in the two dimensional spacetime. We also discuss its scattering amplitudes both in…
It has been common wisdom among mathematicians that Extended Topological Field Theory in dimensions higher than two is naturally formulated in terms of n-categories with n> 1. Recently the physical meaning of these higher categorical…
One may formulate the dependent product types of Martin-L\"of type theory either in terms of abstraction and application operators like those for the lambda-calculus; or in terms of introduction and elimination rules like those for the…
We prove that the quasicategories arising from models of Martin-L\"of type theory via simplicial localization are locally cartesian closed.
We confirm Martin's conjecture for a broad subclass of weakly quasi-o-minimal theories.
We consider the dimensions of finite type of representations of a partially ordered set, i.e. such that there is only finitely many isomorphism classes of representations of this dimension. We give a criterion for a dimension to be of…
We study a special class of non-convex functions which appear in nonlinear elasticity; and we prove that they have well-defined Legandre transforms. Several examples are given, and an application to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem
This paper is a rather informal guide to some of the basic theory of 2-categories and bicategories, including notions of limit and colimit, 2-dimensional universal algebra, formal category theory, and nerves of bicategories. As is the way…
We define the notion of duality categories as generalization of duality groups. Two examples are treated. The first is the Serre duality in the categories of strict polynomial functors. The second concerns finite complexes. We show in…
We introduce Displayed Type Theory (dTT), a multi-modal homotopy type theory with discrete and simplicial modes. In the intended semantics, the discrete mode is interpreted by a model for an arbitrary $\infty$-topos, while the simplicial…
Proposal for contribution to the quantum field theory section in "Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics".
We collect evidence that the notion of path-ordered non-abelian integration admits an extension to two dimensions. We propose the corresponding notion of non-abelian 2-form along the lines of Lie algebroid theory and argue it is an…
The matrix model formulation of M-theory can be generalized by compactification to ten-dimensional type II string theory, formulated in the infinite momentum frame. Both the type IIA and IIB string theories can be formulated in this way. In…
We translate notions and results of decomposition and dimension theories for module categories, into the lattice environment. In particular we translate dimension theory in module categories to complete modular upper-continuous lattices.
We consider the topological theory of Witten type for gauge differential p-forms. It is shown that some topological invariants such as linking numbers appear under quantization of this theory. The non-abelian generalization of the model is…
