The homotopical approach to intensional type theory views proofs of equality as paths. We explore what is required of an object $I$ in a topos to give such a path-based model of type theory in which paths are just functions with domain $I$.…

When working in Homotopy Type Theory and Univalent Foundations, the traditional role of the category of sets, Set, is replaced by the category hSet of homotopy sets (h-sets); types with h-propositional identity types. Many of the properties…

We develop the technique of compactified correspondences and homotopies over one-dimensional base schemes, and illuminate the perfectness and the inverting of characteristic assumptions from the celebrating Voevodsky's strict homotopy…

Lawvere's axiomatization of topos theory and Voevodsky's axiomatization of heigher homotopy theory exemplify a new way of axiomatic theory building, which goes beyond the classical Hibert-style Axiomatic Method. The new notion of Axiomatic…

In 2016 Vladimir Voevodsky sent the author an email message where he explained his conception of mathematical structure using a historical example borrowed from the \emph{Commentary to the First Book of Euclid's Elements} by Proclus; this…

One of the prime motivation for topology was Homotopy theory, which captures the general idea of a continuous transformation between two entities, which may be spaces or maps. In later decades, an algebraic formulation of topology was…

We show that the law of excluded middle holds in Voevodsky's simplicial model of type theory. As a corollary, excluded middle is compatible with univalence.

This paper provides an extensive study of the homotopy theory of types of algebras with units, like unital associative algebras or unital commutative algebras for instance. To this purpose, we endow the Koszul dual category of curved…

We show that the type $\mathrm{T}\mathbb{Z}$ of $\mathbb{Z}$-torsors has the dependent universal property of the circle, which characterizes it up to a unique homotopy equivalence. The construction uses Voevodsky's Univalence Axiom and…

Over a field of characteristic zero, we establish the homotopy invariance of the Nisnevich cohomology of homotopy invariant presheaves with oriented weak transfers, and the agreement of Zariski and Nisnevich cohomology for such presheaves.…

We investigate inductive types in type theory, using the insights provided by homotopy type theory and univalent foundations of mathematics. We do so by introducing the new notion of a homotopy-initial algebra. This notion is defined by a…

We provide a formulation of the univalence axiom in a universe category model of dependent type theory that is convenient to verify in homotopy-theoretic settings. We further develop a strengthening of the univalence axiom, called pointed…

Equivariant cohomology is suggested as an alternative algebraic framework for the definition of topological field theories constructed by E. Witten circa 1988. It also enlightens the classical Faddeev Popov gauge fixing procedure.

We prove the conjecture that any Grothendieck $(\infty,1)$-topos can be presented by a Quillen model category that interprets homotopy type theory with strict univalent universes. Thus, homotopy type theory can be used as a formal language…
