Higher inductive types (HITs) in Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT) allow the definition of datatypes which have constructors for equalities over the defined type. HITs generalise quotient types and allow to define types which are not sets in the…

Quotient inductive-inductive types (QIITs) are generalized inductive types which allow sorts to be indexed over previously declared sorts, and allow usage of equality constructors. QIITs are especially useful for algebraic descriptions of…

We consider the problem of defining the integers in Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT). We can define the type of integers as signed natural numbers (i.e., using a coproduct), but its induction principle is very inconvenient to work with, since it…

Higher inductive types are inductive types that include nontrivial higher-dimensional structure, represented as identifications that are not reflexivity. While work proceeds on type theories with a computational interpretation of univalence…

In this paper, we study finitary 1-truncated higher inductive types (HITs) in homotopy type theory. We start by showing that all these types can be constructed from the groupoid quotient. We define an internal notion of signatures for HITs,…

We develop the usage of certain type theories as specification languages for algebraic theories and inductive types. We observe that the expressive power of dependent type theories proves useful in the specification of more complicated…

Homotopy type theory is an interpretation of Martin-L\"of's constructive type theory into abstract homotopy theory. There results a link between constructive mathematics and algebraic topology, providing topological semantics for…

Homotopy Type Theory is a new field of mathematics based on the surprising and elegant correspondence between Martin-Lofs constructive type theory and abstract homotopy theory. We have a powerful interplay between these disciplines - we can…

Real numbers in constructive mathematics have always seemed to require compromises of one form or another. Classical proofs of Cauchy completeness require countable choice, Bishop's setoid construction introduces persistent bookkeeping…

This is the fourth in a series of papers extending Martin-L\"of's meaning explanation of dependent type theory to higher-dimensional types. In this installment, we show how to define cubical type systems supporting a general schema of…

To ensure decidability and consistency of its type theory, a proof assistant should only accept terminating recursive functions and productive corecursive functions. Most proof assistants enforce this through syntactic conditions, which can…

We describe a way to represent computable functions between coinductive types as particular transducers in type theory. This generalizes earlier work on functions between streams by P. Hancock to a much richer class of coinductive types.…

Guarded recursion is a powerful modal approach to recursion that can be seen as an abstract form of step-indexing. It is currently used extensively in separation logic to model programming languages with advanced features by solving domain…

Invertibility is an important concept in category theory. In higher category theory, it becomes less obvious what the correct notion of invertibility is, as extra coherence conditions can become necessary for invertible structures to have…

Higher inductive types are a class of type-forming rules, introduced to provide basic (and not-so-basic) homotopy-theoretic constructions in a type-theoretic style. They have proven very fruitful for the "synthetic" development of homotopy…

In this paper, we define indexed type theories which are related to indexed ($\infty$-)categories in the same way as (homotopy) type theories are related to ($\infty$-)categories. We define several standard constructions for such theories…

Finster and Mimram have defined a dependent type theory called CaTT, which describes the structure of omega-categories. Types in homotopy type theory with their higher identity types form weak omega-groupoids, so they are in particular weak…

In functional programming languages, generalized algebraic data types (GADTs) are very useful as the unnecessary pattern matching over them can be ruled out by the failure of unification of type arguments. In dependent type systems, this is…

In homotopy type theory (HoTT), all constructions are necessarily stable under homotopy equivalence. This has shortcomings: for example, it is believed that it is impossible to define a type of semi-simplicial types. More generally, it is…

We prove a conjecture about the constructibility of coinductive types - in the principled form of indexed M-types - in Homotopy Type Theory. The conjecture says that in the presence of inductive types, coinductive types are derivable.…
