Cubical type theory is an extension of Martin-L\"of type theory recently proposed by Cohen, Coquand, M\"ortberg and the author which allows for direct manipulation of $n$-dimensional cubes and where Voevodsky's Univalence Axiom is provable.…

We present an ongoing effort to implement Universal Algebra in the UniMath system. Our aim is to develop a general framework for formalizing and studying Universal Algebra in a proof assistant. By constituting a formal system for isolating…

In Feferman's work, explicit mathematics and theories of generalized inductive definitions play a central role. One objective of this article is to describe the connections with Martin-Lof type theory and constructive Zermelo-Fraenkel set…

The "fundamental theorem of Vassiliev invariants" says that every weight system can be integrated to a knot invariant. We discuss four different approaches to the proof of this theorem: a topological/combinatorial approach following M.…

In this paper, we analyze and compare three of the many algebraic structures that have been used for modeling dependent type theories: categories with families, split type-categories, and representable maps of presheaves. We study these in…

In this paper, we explore the 'equivalence principle' (EP): roughly, statements about mathematical objects should be invariant under an appropriate notion of equivalence for the kinds of objects under consideration. In set theoretic…

In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…

We develop a new eigenvalue method for solving structured polynomial equations over any field. The equations are defined on a projective algebraic variety which admits a rational parameterization by a Khovanskii basis, e.g., a Grassmannian…

Voevodsky's univalence axiom is often motivated as a realization of the equivalence principle; the idea that equivalent mathematical structures satisfy the same properties. Indeed, in Homotopy Type Theory, properties and structures can be…

Reasoning modulo equivalences is natural for everyone, including mathematicians. Unfortunately, in proof assistants based on type theory, equality is appallingly syntactic and, as a result, exploiting equivalences is cumbersome at best.…

After developing the basic theory of locally cartesian localizations of presentable locally cartesian closed infinity-categories, we establish the representability of equivalences and show that univalent families, in the sense of Voevodsky,…

We provide a formal introduction into the classic theorems of general topology and its axiomatic foundations in set theory. Starting from ZFC, the exposition in this first part includes relation and order theory as well as a construction of…

We show that Voevodsky's univalence axiom for intensional type theory is valid in categories of simplicial presheaves on elegant Reedy categories. In addition to diagrams on inverse categories, as considered in previous work of the author,…

Homotopy Type Theory may be seen as an internal language for the $\infty$-category of weak $\infty$-groupoids which in particular models the univalence axiom. Voevodsky proposes this language for weak $\infty$-groupoids as a new foundation…
