Mutual and Higher Inductive Types in Homotopy Type Theory

نویسنده

Paolo Capriotti

چکیده

Inductive types can be cleanly represented internally as W-types [14] [20], that is, as initial algebras of containers [1]. In this paper, we give a similar presentation that extends the notion of W-type to more general forms of induction, including mutually defined data types and higher inductive types.

Computational Higher Type Theory IV: Inductive Types

This is the fourth in a series of papers extending Martin-Löf’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 cubical inductive types, inductive types whose constructors may take dimension parameters and may have specified boundaries. Using this schema, we are able to speci...

Type theory in a type theory with quotient inductive types

Type theory (with dependent types) was introduced by Per Martin-Löf with the intention of providing a foundation for constructive mathematics. A part of constructive mathematics is type theory itself, hence we should be able to say what type theory is using the formal language of type theory. In addition, metatheoretic properties of type theory such as normalisation should be provable in type t...

Higher Inductive Types in Cubical Computational Type Theory

In homotopy type theory (HoTT), higher inductive types provide a means of defining and reasoning about higher-dimensional objects such as circles and tori. The formulation of a schema for such types remains a matter of current research. We investigate the question in the context of cubical type theory, where the homotopical structure implicit in HoTT is made explicit in the judgmental apparatus...

Homotopical Patch Theory ( Expanded

Homotopy type theory is an extension of Martin-Löf type theory, based on a correspondence with homotopy theory and higher category theory. In homotopy type theory, the propositional equality type becomes proof-relevant, and corresponds to paths in a space. This allows for a new class of datatypes, called higher inductive types, which are specified by constructors not only for points but also fo...
