Recent work in set theory indicates that there are many different notions of 'set', each captured by a different collection of axioms, as proposed by J. Hamkins in [Ham11]. In this paper we strive to give one class theory that allows for a…

This paper builds a cumulative tower of Grothendieck universes that provides a precise size discipline for higher type theory. Starting from an increasing sequence of inaccessible cardinals, we give an inductive-recursive definition of…

The purpose of this writing is to show that, if we use the definition of elementary $\infty$-topos that has been proposed by Mike Shulman, then the fact that every geometric $\infty$-topos satisfies the required axioms, more specifically…

Homotopy Type Theory with a univalent universe $\,\mathcal{U}_0$ is interpreted at the strength of finite order arithmetic. We eliminate Grothendieck universes, avoid the axiom of replacement, and bound all uses of separation.

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…

1. This paper shows how the universals of category theory in mathematics provide a model (in the Platonic Heaven of mathematics) for the self-predicative strand of Plato's Theory of Forms as well as for the idea of a "concrete universal" in…

We introduce a new method to construct a Grothendieck category from a given colored quiver. This is a variant of the construction used to prove that every partially ordered set arises as the atom spectrum of a Grothendieck category. Using…

A new axiom is proposed, the Ground Axiom, asserting that the universe is not a nontrivial set forcing extension of any inner model. The Ground Axiom is first-order expressible, and any model of ZFC has a class forcing extension which…

It is a well-known theorem of homotopy type theory, originally due to Voevodsky, that function extensionality holds inside any univalent universe. We consider a weaker variant of the univalence axiom, asserting that the wild category formed…

We show that the unbounded derived category of a Grothendieck category with enough projective objects is the base category of a derivator whose category of diagrams is the full 2-category of small categories. With this structure, we give a…

The question "What is category theory" is approached by focusing on universal mapping properties and adjoint functors. Category theory organizes mathematics using morphisms that transmit structure and determination. Structures of…

In this paper, we generalize the construction method of schemes to other algebraic categories, and show that the category of coherent schemes can be characterized by a universal property, if we fix the class of Grothendieck topology. Also,…

A full subcategory of a Grothendieck category is called deconstructible if it consists of all transfinite extensions of some set of objects. This concept provides a handy framework for structure theory and construction of approximations for…

We have another look at the construction by Hofmann and Streicher of a universe $(U,{\mathsf{E}l})$ for the interpretation of Martin-L\"of type theory in a presheaf category $\psh{\C}$. It turns out that $(U,{\mathsf{E}l})$ can be described…

Categories over a field $k$ can be graded by different groups in a connected way; we consider morphisms between these gradings in order to define the fundamental grading group. We prove that this group is isomorphic to the fundamental group…

Grothendieck's theory of fibred categories establishes an equivalence between fibred categories and pseudo functors. It plays a major role in algebraic geometry and categorical logic. This paper aims to show that fibrations are also very…

We show that it is possible to construct a universe in all Grothendieck topoi with injective codes a la Pujet and Tabareau which is nonetheless generic for small families. As a trivial consequence, we show that their observational type…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a small category, and suppose that we are given a full subcategory $\mathcal{U}$ such that every object of $\mathcal{S}$ can be embedded into some object of $\mathcal{U}$ in the same way as every quasi-projective…

A category of FI type is one which is sufficiently similar to finite sets and injections so as to admit nice representation stability results. Several common examples admit a Grothendieck fibration to finite sets and injections. We begin by…
