    We investigate the sample path properties of Martin-L\"of random Brownian motion. We show (1) that many classical results which are known to hold almost surely hold for every Martin-L\"of random Brownian path, (2) that the effective dimension of zeroes of a Martin-L\"of random Brownian path must be at least 1/2, and conversely that every real with effective dimension greater than 1/2 must be a zero of some Martin-L\"of random Brownian path, and (3) we will demonstrate a new proof that the solution to the Dirichlet problem in the plane is computable

    The Biequivalence of Locally Cartesian Closed Categories and Martin-L\"of Type Theories

    Seely's paper "Locally cartesian closed categories and type theory" contains a well-known result in categorical type theory: that the category of locally cartesian closed categories is equivalent to the category of Martin-L\"of type theories with Pi-types, Sigma-types and extensional identity types. However, Seely's proof relies on the problematic assumption that substitution in types can be interpreted by pullbacks. Here we prove a corrected version of Seely's theorem: that the B\'enabou-Hofmann interpretation of Martin-L\"of type theory in locally cartesian closed categories yields a biequivalence of 2-categories. To facilitate the technical development we employ categories with families as a substitute for syntactic Martin-L\"of type theories. As a second result we prove that if we remove Pi-types the resulting categories with families are biequivalent to left exact categories.Comment: TLCA 2011 - 10th Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications, Novi Sad : Serbia (2011
