This note documents the specification of normal forms in cubical type theory. The definition is already present in the proof of normalization for cubical type theory, but we present it in a more traditional style explicitly for reference.

We define a computational type theory combining the contentful equality structure of cartesian cubical type theory with internal parametricity primitives. The combined theory supports both univalence and its relational equivalent, which we…

We sketch a tentative proof of P-completeness for the $\beta$-convertibility problem on untyped planar (a.k.a. ordered or non-commutative) $\lambda$-terms.

This paper presents a type theory in which it is possible to directly manipulate $n$-dimensional cubes (points, lines, squares, cubes, etc.) based on an interpretation of dependent type theory in a cubical set model. This enables new ways…

We show canonicity and normalization for dependent type theory with a cumulative sequence of universes and a type of Boolean. The argument follows the usual notion of reducibility, going back to Godel's Dialectica interpretation and the…

We develop a technique for normalization for $\infty$-type theories. The normalization property helps us to prove a coherence theorem: the initial model of a given $\infty$-type theory is $0$-truncated. The coherence theorem justifies…

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.…

The logical technique of focusing can be applied to the $\lambda$-calculus; in a simple type system with atomic types and negative type formers (functions, products, the unit type), its normal forms coincide with $\beta\eta$-normal forms.…

We consider the conversion problem for multimodal type theory (MTT) by characterizing the normal forms of the type theory and proving normalization. Normalization follows from a novel adaptation of Sterling's Synthetic Tait Computability…

We show normalisation and decidability of convertibility for a type theory with a hierarchy of universes and a proof irrelevant type of propositions, close to the type system used in the proof assistant Lean. Contrary to previous arguments,…

We construct a model of type theory enjoying parametricity from an arbitrary one. A type in the new model is a semi-cubical type in the old one, illustrating the correspondence between parametricity and cubes. Our construction works not…

We contribute XTT, a cubical reconstruction of Observational Type Theory which extends Martin-L\"of's intensional type theory with a dependent equality type that enjoys function extensionality and a judgmental version of the unicity of…

We exhibit a computational type theory which combines the higher-dimensional structure of cartesian cubical type theory with the internal parametricity primitives of parametric type theory, drawing out the similarities and distinctions…

This paper proposes a way of doing type theory informally, assuming a cubical style of reasoning. It can thus be viewed as a first step toward a cubical alternative to the program of informalization of type theory carried out in the…

We prove normalization for MTT, a general multimodal dependent type theory capable of expressing modal type theories for guarded recursion, internalized parametricity, and various other prototypical modal situations. We prove that deciding…

We develop normalisation by evaluation (NBE) for dependent types based on presheaf categories. Our construction is formulated in the metalanguage of type theory using quotient inductive types. We use a typed presentation hence there are no…

We propose a new cubical type theory, termed (self-deprecatingly) the naive cubical type theory, and study its semantics using the universe category framework, which is similar to Uemura's categories with representable morphisms. In…

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 present a novel method of computing the beta-normal eta-long form of a simply-typed lambda-term by constructing traversals over a variant abstract syntax tree of the term. In contrast to beta-reduction, which changes the term by…
