We give a new description of computads for weak globular $\omega$-categories by giving an explicit inductive definition of the free words. This yields a new understanding of computads, and allows a new definition of $\omega$-category that…

Following the types-as-sets paradigm, we present a mechanized embedding of dependent function types with a hierarchy of universes into schematic first-order logic with equality, with axiom schemas of Tarski-Grothendieck set theory. We carry…

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…

We present two Dialectica-like constructions for models of intensional Martin-L\"of type theory based on G\"odel's original Dialectica interpretation and the Diller-Nahm variant, bringing dependent types to categorical proof theory. We set…

We present new induction principles for the syntax of dependent type theories, which we call relative induction principles. The result of the induction principle relative to a functor F into the syntax is stable over the codomain of F. We…

Recently we presented a concise survey of the formulation of the induction and coinduction principles, and some concepts related to them, in programming languages type theory and four other mathematical disciplines. The presentation in type…

Two novel descriptions of weak {\omega}-categories have been recently proposed, using type-theoretic ideas. The first one is the dependent type theory CaTT whose models are {\omega}-categories. The second is a recursive description of a…

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 the impredicative type theory of System F ({\lambda}2), it is possible to create inductive data types, such as natural numbers and lists. It is also possible to create coinductive data types such as streams. They work well in the sense…

In functional programming, datatypes a la carte provide a convenient modular representation of recursive datatypes, based on their initial algebra semantics. Unfortunately it is highly challenging to implement this technique in proof…

We present the guarded lambda-calculus, an extension of the simply typed lambda-calculus with guarded recursive and coinductive types. The use of guarded recursive types ensures the productivity of well-typed programs. Guarded recursive…

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 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…

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…

One may formulate the dependent product types of Martin-L\"of type theory either in terms of abstraction and application operators like those for the lambda-calculus; or in terms of introduction and elimination rules like those for the…

Martin-L\"of's Intuitionistic Theory of Types is becoming popular for formal reasoning about computer programs. To handle recursion schemes other than primitive recursion, a theory of well-founded relations is presented. Using primitive…

We introduce an operational rewriting-based semantics for strictly positive nested higher-order (co)inductive types. The semantics takes into account the "limits" of infinite reduction sequences. This may be seen as a refinement and…

There are multiple ways to formalise the metatheory of type theory. For some purposes, it is enough to consider specific models of a type theory, but sometimes it is necessary to refer to the syntax, for example in proofs of canonicity and…
