We present generalized algebraic theories corresponding to slightly modified versions of two of the type theories in our paper Type Theory with Explicit Universe Polymorphism. We first present a generalized algebraic theory for categories…

Pure type systems arise as a generalisation of simply typed lambda calculus. The contemporary development of mathematics has renewed the interest in type theories, as they are not just the object of mere historical research, but have an…

A new algebraic treatment of dependent type theory is proposed using ideas derived from topos theory and algebraic set theory.

We develop algebraic models of simple type theories, laying out a framework that extends universal algebra to incorporate both algebraic sorting and variable binding. Examples of simple type theories include the unityped and simply-typed…

In this paper we examine the natural interpretation of a ramified type hierarchy into Martin-L\"of type theory with an infinite sequence of universes. It is shown that under this predicative interpretation some useful special cases of…

We give a new syntax independent definition of the notion of a generalized algebraic theory as an initial object in a category of categories with families (cwfs) with extra structure. To this end we define inductively how to build a valid…

This is the third in a series of papers extending Martin-L\"of's meaning explanations of dependent type theory to a Cartesian cubical realizability framework that accounts for higher-dimensional types. We extend this framework to include a…

In type theories, universe hierarchies are commonly used to increase the expressive power of the theory while avoiding inconsistencies arising from size issues. There are numerous ways to specify universe hierarchies, and theories may…

In this paper, we explore a connection between type universes and memory allocation. Type universe hierarchies are used in dependent type theories to ensure consistency, by forbidding a type from quantifying over all types. Instead, the…

We present a differential algebra of generalized functions over a field of generalized scalars by means of several axioms in terms of general algebra and topology. Our differential algebra is of Colombeau type in the sense that it contains…

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.…

Universal algebra uniformly captures various algebraic structures, by expressing them as equational theories or abstract clones. The ubiquity of algebraic structures in mathematics and related fields has given rise to several variants of…

It is known that one can construct non-parametric functions by assuming classical axioms. Our work is a converse to that: we prove classical axioms in dependent type theory assuming specific instances of non-parametricity. We also address…

In this paper, we propose an abstract definition of dependent type theories as essentially algebraic theories. One of the main advantages of this definition is its composability: simple theories can be combined into more complex ones, and…

We propose an abstract notion of a type theory to unify the semantics of various type theories including Martin-L\"{o}f type theory, two-level type theory and cubical type theory. We establish basic results in the semantics of type theory:…

We introduce type-theoretic algebraic weak factorisation systems and show how they give rise to homotopy-theoretic models of Martin-L\"of type theory. This is done by showing that the comprehension category associated to a type-theoretic…

Type theory can be described as a generalised algebraic theory. This automatically gives a notion of model and the existence of the syntax as the initial model, which is a quotient inductive-inductive type. Algebraic definitions of type…

We give a type system in which the universe of types is closed by reflection into it of the logical relation defined externally by induction on the structure of types. This contribution is placed in the context of the search for a natural,…

The main objective of this paper is to show that the notion of type which was developed within the frames of logic and model theory has deep ties with geometric properties of algebras. These ties go back and forth from universal algebraic…
