Cellular Cohomology in Homotopy Type Theory
We present a development of cellular cohomology in homotopy type theory.
Cohomology associates to each space a sequence of abelian groups capturing part
of its structure, and has the advantage over homotopy groups in that these
abelian groups of many common spaces are easier to compute. Cellular cohomology
is a special kind of cohomology designed for cell complexes: these are built in
stages by attaching spheres of progressively higher dimension, and cellular
cohomology defines the groups out of the combinatorial description of how
spheres are attached. Our main result is that for finite cell complexes, a wide
class of cohomology theories (including the ones defined through
Eilenberg-MacLane spaces) can be calculated via cellular cohomology. This
result was formalized in the Agda proof assistant
Internal Languages of Finitely Complete -categories
We prove that the homotopy theory of Joyal's tribes is equivalent to that of
fibration categories. As a consequence, we deduce a variant of the conjecture
asserting that Martin-L\"of Type Theory with dependent sums and intensional
identity types is the internal language of -categories with finite
limits.Comment: 41 pages, minor revision
Modalities in homotopy type theory
Univalent homotopy type theory (HoTT) may be seen as a language for the
category of -groupoids. It is being developed as a new foundation for
mathematics and as an internal language for (elementary) higher toposes. We
develop the theory of factorization systems, reflective subuniverses, and
modalities in homotopy type theory, including their construction using a
"localization" higher inductive type. This produces in particular the
(-connected, -truncated) factorization system as well as internal
presentations of subtoposes, through lex modalities. We also develop the
semantics of these constructions
