We construct a left semi-model structure on the category of intensional type theories (precisely, on $\mathrm{CxlCat_{Id,1,\Sigma(,\Pi_{ext})}}$). This presents an $\infty$-category of such type theories; we show moreover that there is an…

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 this paper we construct new categorical models for the identity types of Martin-L\"of type theory, in the categories Top of topological spaces and SSet of simplicial sets. We do so building on earlier work of Awodey and Warren, which has…

In the the present contribution, we prove an Omitting Types Theorem (OTT) for an arbitrary fragment of hybriddynamic first-order logic with rigid symbols (i.e. symbols with fixed interpretations across worlds) closed under negation and…

We define and develop two-level type theory (2LTT), a version of Martin-L\"of type theory which combines two different type theories. We refer to them as the inner and the outer type theory. In our case of interest, the inner theory is…

This is the fourth in a series of papers extending Martin-L\"of's meaning explanation of dependent type theory to higher-dimensional types. In this installment, we show how to define cubical type systems supporting a general schema of…

We show that the classifying category C(T) of a dependent type theory T with axioms for identity types admits a non-trivial weak factorisation system. We provide an explicit characterisation of the elements of both the left class and the…

We show that contrary to appearances, Multimodal Type Theory (MTT) over a 2-category M can be interpreted in any M-shaped diagram of categories having, and functors preserving, M-sized limits, without the need for extra left adjoints. This…

Using the language of homotopy type theory (HoTT), we 1) prove a synthetic version of the classification theorem for covering spaces, and 2) explore the existence of canonical change-of-basepoint isomorphisms between homotopy groups. There…

The ability to cast values between related types is a leitmotiv of many flavors of dependent type theory, such as observational type theories, subtyping, or cast calculi for gradual typing. These casts all exhibit a common structural…

Many definitions of weak and strict $\infty$-categories have been proposed. In this paper we present a definition for $\infty$-categories with strict associators, but which is otherwise fully weak. Our approach is based on the existing type…

Homotopy type theory (HoTT) can be seen as a generalisation of structural set theory, in the sense that 0-types represent structural sets within the more general notion of types. For material set theory, we also have concrete models as…

We characterize the epimorphisms in homotopy type theory (HoTT) as the fiberwise acyclic maps and develop a type-theoretic treatment of acyclic maps and types in the context of synthetic homotopy theory as developed in univalent…

In recent years, Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT) has had great success both as a foundation of mathematics and as internal language to reason about $\infty$-groupoids (a.k.a. spaces). However, in many areas of mathematics and computer science,…

This is the second in a series of papers extending Martin-L\"{o}f's meaning explanation of dependent type theory to account for higher-dimensional types. We build on the cubical realizability framework for simple types developed in Part I,…

Higher inductive types (HITs) in Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT) allow the definition of datatypes which have constructors for equalities over the defined type. HITs generalise quotient types and allow to define types which are not sets in the…

Homotopy Type Theory is a new field of mathematics based on the surprising and elegant correspondence between Martin-Lofs constructive type theory and abstract homotopy theory. We have a powerful interplay between these disciplines - we can…
