Within the framework of Riehl-Shulman's synthetic $(\infty,1)$-category theory, we present a theory of two-sided cartesian fibrations. Central results are several characterizations of the two-sidedness condition \`{a} la Chevalley, Gray,…

We use type-theoretic techniques to present an algebraic theory of $\infty$-categories with strict units. Starting with a known type-theoretic presentation of fully weak $\infty$-categories, in which terms denote valid operations, we extend…

We develop category theory within Univalent Foundations, which is a foundational system for mathematics based on a homotopical interpretation of dependent type theory. In this system, we propose a definition of "category" for which equality…

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

Combinatorial categories satisfy a stronger form of Yoneda Lemma, namely, the isomorphism type of an object can be recovered by counting the number of homomorphisms from all other objects into it. In this work, we show that this property…

We continue the study of enriched infinity categories, using a definition equivalent to that of Gepner and Haugseng. In our approach enriched infinity categories are associative monoids in an especially designed monoidal category of…

We provide various ways to characterise $\Sigma$-pure-injective objects in a compactly generated triangulated category. These characterisations mimic analogous well-known results from the model theory of modules. The proof involves two…

The goal of this paper is to demystify the role played by the Reedy category axioms in homotopy theory. With no assumed prerequisites beyond a healthy appetite for category theoretic arguments, we present streamlined proofs of a number of…

We use the terms $\infty$-categories and $\infty$-functors to mean the objects and morphisms in an $\infty$-cosmos: a simplicially enriched category satisfying a few axioms, reminiscent of an enriched category of fibrant objects.…

In this paper we prove an $\infty$-categorical version of the reflection theorem of Ad\'amek-Rosick\'y. Namely, that a full subcategory of a presentable $\infty$-category which is closed under limits and $\kappa$-filtered colimits is a…

We establish and advocate for a novel branch of category theory, centered around strong dinatural transformations (herein known as "paranatural transformations"). Paranatural transformations generalize natural transformations to…

`Categorification' is the process of replacing equations by isomorphisms. We describe some of the ways a thoroughgoing emphasis on categorification can simplify and unify mathematics. We begin with elementary arithmetic, where the category…

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…

Life continuously changes its own components and states at each moment through interaction with the external world, while maintaining its own individuality in a cyclical manner. Such a property, known as "autonomy," has been formulated…

The generality and pervasiness of category theory in modern mathematics makes it a frequent and useful target of formalization. It is however quite challenging to formalize, for a variety of reasons. Agda currently (i.e. in 2020) does not…

A logic for specification and verification is derived from the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. The proofs are performed using the proof assistant Isabelle. Isabelle is generic, supporting several different logics. Isabelle has the…
