We show how dinaturality plays a central role in the interpretation of directed type theory where types are interpreted as (1-)categories and directed equality is represented by $\hom$-functors. We present a general elimination principle…

In previous work ("From signatures to monads in UniMath"), we described a category-theoretic construction of abstract syntax from a signature, mechanized in the UniMath library based on the Coq proof assistant. In the present work, we…

We introduce $\infty$-type theories as an $\infty$-categorical generalization of the categorical definition of type theories introduced by the second named author. We establish analogous results to the previous work including the…

Categorical semantics of type theories are often characterized as structure-preserving functors. This is because in category theory both the syntax and the domain of interpretation are uniformly treated as structured categories, so that we…

An outline and summary of four new potential applications of category theory to OOP research are presented. These include (1) the use of operads to model Java subtyping, (2) the use of Yoneda's lemma and representable functors in the…

Models of dependent type theories are contextual categories with some additional structure. We prove that if a theory $T$ has enough structure, then the category $T\text{-}\mathbf{Mod}$ of its models carries the structure of a model…

We state a Yoneda-type lemma which leads to various functor categories being compact closed.

We define the notion of an indexed profunctor over a 2-category, and use it to develop an abstract theory of limits. The theory subsumes (conical) limits, weighted limits, ends and Kan extensions. Results include an abstract version of the…

We introduce judgemental theories and their calculi as a general framework to present and study deductive systems. As an exemplification of their expressivity, we approach dependent type theory and natural deduction as special kinds of…

Various models of $(\infty,1)$-categories, including quasi-categories, complete Segal spaces, Segal categories, and naturally marked simplicial sets can be considered as the objects of an $\infty$-cosmos. In a generic $\infty$-cosmos, whose…

In this paper we formalize some foundation concepts and theorems of group theory in a variant of type theory called the Calculus of Constructions with Definitions. In this theory we introduce definition of a group, which is both general and…

A semantic model enjoys full definability if every semantic element in the model is a denotation of some proof or program. Full definability indicates that the model captures programs and proofs in a highly detailed manner. This paper…

Refinement types sharpen systems of simple and dependent types by offering expressive means to more precisely classify well-typed terms. We present a system of refinement types for LF in the style of recent formulations where only canonical…

We propose a construction of a stable category for any pretorsion theory in a lextensive category. We prove the universal property of the stable category, that extends previous results obtained for the stable category of internal preorders…

We bring forward a logical system of transition algebras that enhances many-sorted first-order logic using features from dynamic logics. The sentences we consider include compositions, unions, and transitive closures of transition…

This paper introduces a novel type theory and logic for probabilistic reasoning. Its logic is quantitative, with fuzzy predicates. It includes normalisation and conditioning of states. This conditioning uses a key aspect that distinguishes…

The attempt is to give a formal concpet of system, and with this provide a definition of category, that will also satisfy the definition of a system. An axiomatic base is given, for constructing the group of integers. In the process, we…

We introduce the concept of a prenormed model of a particular kind of finitary single-sorted first-order theories, interpreted over a category with finite products. These are referred to as prealgebraic theories, for the fact that their…

We identify morphisms of strong profunctors as a categorification of quantum supermaps. These black-box generalisations of diagrams-with-holes are hence placed within the broader field of profunctor optics, as morphisms in the category of…
