Type Theory with Explicit Universe Polymorphism

Authors: Marc Bezem, Thierry Coquand, Peter Dybjer, and Martín Escardó

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 269, 28th International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2022)


Abstract
The aim of this paper is to refine and extend proposals by Sozeau and Tabareau and by Voevodsky for universe polymorphism in type theory. In those systems judgments can depend on explicit constraints between universe levels. We here present a system where we also have products indexed by universe levels and by constraints. Our theory has judgments for internal universe levels, built up from level variables by a successor operation and a binary supremum operation, and also judgments for equality of universe levels.

Geometric Logic, Constructivisation, and Automated Theorem Proving (Dagstuhl Seminar 21472)

Authors: Thierry Coquand, Hajime Ishihara, Sara Negri, and Peter M. Schuster

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 11, Issue 10 (2022)


Abstract
At least from a practical and contemporary angle, the time-honoured question about the extent of intuitionistic mathematics rather is to which extent any given proof is effective, which proofs of which theorems can be rendered effective, and whether and how numerical information such as bounds and algorithms can be extracted from proofs. All this is ideally done by manipulating proofs mechanically or by adequate metatheorems, which includes proof translations, automated theorem proving, program extraction from proofs, proof analysis and proof mining. The question should thus be put as: What is the computational content of proofs? Guided by this central question, the present Dagstuhl seminar puts a special focus on coherent and geometric theories and their generalisations. These are not only widespread in mathematics and non-classical logics such as temporal and modal logics, but also a priori amenable for constructivisation, e.g., by Barr’s Theorem, and last but not least particularly suited as a basis for automated theorem proving. Specific topics include categorical semantics for geometric theories, complexity issues of and algorithms for geometrisation of theories including speed-up questions, the use of geometric theories in constructive mathematics including finding algorithms, proof-theoretic presentation of sheaf models and higher toposes, and coherent logic for automatically readable proofs.

Homotopy Canonicity for Cubical Type Theory

Authors: Thierry Coquand, Simon Huber, and Christian Sattler

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 131, 4th International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2019)


Abstract
Cubical type theory provides a constructive justification of homotopy type theory and satisfies canonicity: every natural number is convertible to a numeral. A crucial ingredient of cubical type theory is a path lifting operation which is explained computationally by induction on the type involving several non-canonical choices. In this paper we show by a sconing argument that if we remove these equations for the path lifting operation from the system, we still retain homotopy canonicity: every natural number is path equal to a numeral.

A Normalizing Computation Rule for Propositional Extensionality in Higher-Order Minimal Logic

Authors: Robin Adams, Marc Bezem, and Thierry Coquand

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 97, 22nd International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2016)


Abstract
The univalence axiom expresses the principle of extensionality for dependent type theory. However, if we simply add the univalence axiom to type theory, then we lose the property of canonicity - that every closed term computes to a canonical form. A computation becomes "stuck" when it reaches the point that it needs to evaluate a proof term that is an application of the univalence axiom. So we wish to find a way to compute with the univalence axiom. While this problem has been solved with the formulation of cubical type theory, where the computations are expressed using a nominal extension of lambda-calculus, it may be interesting to explore alternative solutions, which do not require such an extension. As a first step, we present here a system of propositional higher-order minimal logic (PHOML). There are three kinds of typing judgement in PHOML. There are terms which inhabit types, which are the simple types over Omega. There are proofs which inhabit propositions, which are the terms of type Omega. The canonical propositions are those constructed from false by implication. Thirdly, there are paths which inhabit equations M =_A N, where M and N are terms of type A. There are two ways to prove an equality: reflexivity, and propositional extensionality - logically equivalent propositions are equal. This system allows for some definitional equalities that are not present in cubical type theory, namely that transport along the trivial path is identity. We present a call-by-name reduction relation for this system, and prove that the system satisfies canonicity: every closed typable term head-reduces to a canonical form. This work has been formalised in Agda.

Realizability at Work: Separating Two Constructive Notions of Finiteness

Authors: Marc Bezem, Thierry Coquand, Keiko Nakata, and Erik Parmann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 97, 22nd International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2016)


Abstract
We elaborate in detail a realizability model for Martin-Löf dependent type theory with the purpose to analyze a subtle distinction between two constructive notions of finiteness of a set A. The two notions are: (1) A is Noetherian: the empty list can be constructed from lists over A containing duplicates by a certain inductive shortening process; (2) A is streamless: every enumeration of A contains a duplicate.

Cubical Type Theory: A Constructive Interpretation of the Univalence Axiom

Authors: Cyril Cohen, Thierry Coquand, Simon Huber, and Anders Mörtberg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 69, 21st International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2015) (2018)


Abstract
This paper presents a type theory in which it is possible to directly manipulate $n$-dimensional cubes (points, lines, squares, cubes, etc.) based on an interpretation of dependent type theory in a cubical set model. This enables new ways to reason about identity types, for instance, function extensionality is directly provable in the system. Further, Voevodsky's univalence axiom is provable in this system. We also explain an extension with some higher inductive types like the circle and propositional truncation. Finally we provide semantics for this cubical type theory in a constructive meta-theory.

The Independence of Markov’s Principle in Type Theory

Authors: Thierry Coquand and Bassel Mannaa

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 52, 1st International Conference on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2016)


Abstract
In this paper, we show that Markov's principle is not derivable in dependent type theory with natural numbers and one universe. One tentative way to prove this would be to remark that Markov's principle does not hold in a sheaf model of type theory over Cantor space, since Markov's principle does not hold for the generic point of this model. It is however not clear how to interpret the universe in a sheaf model. Instead we design an extension of type theory, which intuitively extends type theory by the addition of a generic point of Cantor space. We then show the consistency of this extension by a normalization argument. Markov's principle does not hold in this extension, and it follows that it cannot be proved in type theory.

Non-Constructivity in Kan Simplicial Sets

Authors: Marc Bezem, Thierry Coquand, and Erik Parmann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 38, 13th International Conference on Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications (TLCA 2015)


Abstract
We give an analysis of the non-constructivity of the following basic result: if X and Y are simplicial sets and Y has the Kan extension property, then Y^X also has the Kan extension property. By means of Kripke countermodels we show that even simple consequences of this basic result, such as edge reversal and edge composition, are not constructively provable. We also show that our unprovability argument will have to be refined if one strengthens the usual formulation of the Kan extension property to one with explicit horn-filler operations.

A Model of Type Theory in Cubical Sets

Authors: Marc Bezem, Thierry Coquand, and Simon Huber

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 26, 19th International Conference on Types for Proofs and Programs (TYPES 2013)


Abstract
We present a model of type theory with dependent product, sum, and identity, in cubical sets. We describe a universe and explain how to transform an equivalence between two types into an equality. We also explain how to model propositional truncation and the circle. While not expressed internally in type theory, the model is expressed in a constructive metalogic. Thus it is a step towards a computational interpretation of Voevodsky's Univalence Axiom.

05021 Executive Summary – Mathematics, Algorithms, Proofs

Authors: Thierry Coquand

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5021, Mathematics, Algorithms, Proofs (2006)


Abstract
This workshop was the third MAP meeting, a continuation of the seminar "Verification and constructive algebra" held in Dagstuhl from 6 to 10 January 2003. The goal of these meetings is to bring together people from the communities of formal proofs, constructive mathematics and computer algebra (in a wide meaning). The special emphasis of the present meeting was on the constructive mathematics and efficient proofs in computer algebra.

A Nilregular Element Property

Authors: Thierry Coquand, Henri Lombardi, and Peter Schuster

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5021, Mathematics, Algorithms, Proofs (2006)


Abstract
An element or an ideal of a commutative ring is nilregular if and only if it is regular modulo the nilradical. We prove that if the ring is Noetherian, then every nilregular ideal contains a nilregular element. In constructive mathematics, this proof can then be seen as an algorithm to produce nilregular elements of nilregular ideals whenever the ring is coherent, Noetherian, and discrete. As an application, we give a constructive proof of the Eisenbud--Evans--Storch theorem that every algebraic set in $n$--dimensional affine space is the intersection of $n$ hypersurfaces. The input of the algorithm is an arbitrary finite list of polynomials, which need not arrive in a special form such as a Gr"obner basis. We dispense with prime ideals when defining concepts or carrying out proofs.
