Coherent Tietze Transformations of 1-Polygraphs in Homotopy Type Theory

Authors: Samuel Mimram and Émile Oleon

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 337, 10th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2025)


Abstract
Polygraphs play a fundamental role in algebra, geometry, and computer science, by generalizing group presentations to higher-dimensional structures and encoding coherence for those. They have recently been adapted by Kraus and von Raumer to the setting of homotopy type theory, where they are useful to define and study higher inductive types. Here, we develop the theory of 1-dimensional polygraphs, which correspond to presentations of sets in homotopy type theory. This requires us to introduce a dedicated notion of Tietze transformation, generalizing their well-known counterpart in group theory: the equivalence generated by those transformations characterizes situations where two 1-polygraphs present the same set. We also show a homotopy transfer theorem, which provides a way to transport coherence structures from one 1-polygraph to another. This work lays the foundations for a general theory of polygraphs in arbitrary dimensions, which should be useful for instance to define and study coherent group presentations, allowing for synthetic (co)homology computations. Most of the results in the article have been formalized with the Agda proof assistant using the cubical HoTT library.

A Foundation for Synthetic Stone Duality

Authors: Felix Cherubini, Thierry Coquand, Freek Geerligs, and Hugo Moeneclaey

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 336, 30th International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2024)


Abstract
The language of homotopy type theory has proved to be an appropriate internal language for various higher toposes, for example for the Zariski topos in Synthetic Algebraic Geometry. This paper aims to do the same for the higher topos of light condensed anima of Dustin Clausen and Peter Scholze. This seems to be an appropriate setting for synthetic topology in the style of Martín Escardó. We use homotopy type theory extended with 4 axioms. We prove Markov’s principle, LLPO and the negation of WLPO. Then we define a type of open propositions, inducing a topology on any type such that any map is continuous. We give a synthetic definition of second countable Stone and compact Hausdorff spaces, and show that their induced topologies are as expected. This means that any map from e.g. the unit interval 𝕀 to itself is continuous in the usual epsilon-delta sense. With the usual definition of cohomology in homotopy type theory, we show that H¹(S,ℤ) = 0 for S Stone and that H¹(X,ℤ) for X compact Hausdorff can be computed using Čech cohomology. We use this to prove H¹(𝕀¹,ℤ) = 0 and H¹(𝕊¹,ℤ) = ℤ where 𝕊¹ is the set ℝ/ℤ. As an application, we give a synthetic proof of Brouwer’s fixed-point theorem.

Coslice Colimits in Homotopy Type Theory

Authors: Perry Hart and Kuen-Bang Hou (Favonia)

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 326, 33rd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2025)


Abstract
We contribute to the theory of (homotopy) colimits inside homotopy type theory. The heart of our work characterizes the connection between colimits in coslices of a universe, called coslice colimits, and colimits in the universe (i.e., ordinary colimits). To derive this characterization, we find an explicit construction of colimits in coslices that is tailored to reveal the connection. We use the construction to derive properties of colimits. Notably, we prove that the forgetful functor from a coslice creates colimits over trees. We also use the construction to examine how colimits interact with orthogonal factorization systems and with cohomology theories. As a consequence of their interaction with orthogonal factorization systems, all pointed colimits (special kinds of coslice colimits) preserve n-connectedness, which implies that higher groups are closed under colimits on directed graphs. We have formalized our main construction of the coslice colimit functor in Agda.

Money Grows on (Proof-)Trees: The Formal FA1.2 Ledger Standard

Authors: Murdoch J. Gabbay, Arvid Jakobsson, and Kristina Sojakova

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 95, 3rd International Workshop on Formal Methods for Blockchains (FMBC 2021)


Abstract
Once you have invented digital money, you may need a ledger to track who owns what - along with an interface to that ledger so that users of your money can transact. On the Tezos blockchain this implies: a smart contract (distributed program), storing in its state a ledger to map owner addresses to token quantities; along with standardised entrypoints to query and transact on accounts. A bank does a similar job - it maps account numbers to account quantities and permits users to transact - but in return the bank demands trust, it incurs expense to maintain a centralised server and staff, it uses a proprietary interface ... and it may speculate using your money and/or display rent-seeking behaviour. A blockchain ledger is by design decentralised, inexpensive, open, and it won't just decide to bet your tokens on risky derivatives (unless you want it to). The FA1.2 standard is an open standard for ledger-keeping smart contracts on the Tezos blockchain. Several FA1.2 implementations already exist. Or do they? Is the standard sensible and complete? Are the implementations correct? And what are they implementations of? The FA1.2 standard is written in English, a specification language favoured by wet human brains but notorious for its incompleteness and ambiguity when rendered into dry and unforgiving code. In this paper we report on a formalisation of the FA1.2 standard as a Coq specification, and on a formal verification of three FA1.2-compliant smart contracts with respect to that specification. Errors were found and ambiguities were resolved; but also, there now exists a mathematically precise and battle-tested specification of the FA1.2 ledger standard. We will describe FA1.2 itself, outline the structure of the Coq theories - which in itself captures some non-trivial and novel design decisions of the development - and review the detailed verification of the implementations.
