A Computer Formalisation of the Serre Finiteness Theorem

Authors: Reid Barton, Axel Ljungström, Owen Milner, and Anders Mörtberg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 380, 41st Annual Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS 2026)

Abstract
Few constructions in mathematics are as elusive as the homotopy groups of spheres. These groups, which intuitively measure n-dimensional loops on m-dimensional spheres, appear at first glance to be almost completely random - an unfortunate fact, seeing as they constitute one of the fundamental building blocks of algebraic topology and homotopy theory. However, the situation is not completely hopeless: in 1951, Serre proved his celebrated finiteness theorem, which says that these groups are almost always finite abelian groups, except in two classes of special cases when they also contain copies of the integers. In a recent paper, Barton and Campion proved a variation of this result in homotopy type theory (HoTT) - an extension of Martin-Löf type theory, particularly suitable for reasoning about and formalising algebraic topology and homotopy theory. Their result shows that the homotopy groups of spheres are all finitely presented - and constructively so. Prior to this proof, only low-dimensional homotopy groups of spheres had been computed in HoTT. This made it a major breakthrough for HoTT as a foundation and, as such, the immediate target of a full-scale formalisation project. In this paper, we present the outcome of this project: a complete formalisation of Barton and Campion’s proof of the Serre finiteness theorem in Cubical Agda, a constructive proof assistant implementing a cubical flavour of HoTT. In the light of the constructivity of Cubical Agda, we discuss the prospect of running the algorithm provided by our formalisation in order to compute concrete homotopy groups of spheres.

Cellular Methods in Homotopy Type Theory

Authors: Axel Ljungström and Loïc Pujet

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 380, 41st Annual Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS 2026)

Abstract
In classical mathematics, a CW complex is a topological space which can be built up inductively by gluing together cells of increasing dimension. Thanks to their excellent categorical properties, CW complexes have become one of the main objects of interest in algebraic topology. Although their quasi-combinatorial nature suggests that a constructive treatment is possible, there seems to be little literature on the subject - perhaps because of the important role played by the axiom of choice in the classical theory of CW complexes. In this paper, we present a synthetic and constructive account of the theory of CW complexes in homotopy type theory. Our first main result is a finitary version of the cellular approximation theorem which, among other things, allows us to construct a cellular homology functor without needing the axiom of choice or relying on a pre-existing notion of homology. Our second main result, which we call the "Hurewicz approximation theorem", shows that the CW complexes that are n-connected types are precisely the ones that can be presented by a CW structure with no nontrivial cells up to dimension n. This theorem is standard in the classical treatment of CW complexes, but it is far from being obvious in a constructive setting. As a corollary, we give a new proof of the Hurewicz theorem for CW complexes, which relates the first non-vanishing homotopy group of a CW complex with the corresponding homology group. All key theorems presented in this paper have been mechanised in Cubical Agda.

Generalized Decidability via Brouwer Trees

Authors: Tom de Jong, Nicolai Kraus, Aref Mohammadzadeh, and Fredrik Nordvall Forsberg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 380, 41st Annual Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS 2026)

Abstract
In the setting of constructive mathematics, we suggest and study a framework for decidability of properties, which allows for finer distinctions than just "decidable, semidecidable, or undecidable". We work in homotopy type theory and use Brouwer tree ordinals to specify the level of decidability of a property. In this framework, we express the property that a proposition is α-decidable, for an ordinal α, and show that it generalizes decidability and semidecidability. Further generalizing known results, we show that α-decidable propositions are closed under binary conjunction, and discuss for which α they are closed under binary disjunction. We prove that if each P(i) is semidecidable, then the countable meet ∀ i ∈ ℕ. P(i) is ω²-decidable, and similar results for countable joins and iterated quantifiers. We also discuss the relationship with countable choice. All our results are formalized in Cubical Agda.

The Groupoid-Syntax of Type Theory Is a Set

Authors: Thorsten Altenkirch, Ambrus Kaposi, and Szumi Xie

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 363, 34th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2026)

Abstract
Categories with families (CwFs) have been used to define the semantics of type theory in type theory. In the setting of Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT), one of the limitations of the traditional notion of CwFs is the requirement to set-truncate types, which excludes models based on univalent categories, such as the standard set model. To address this limitation, we introduce the concept of a Groupoid Category with Families (GCwF). This framework truncates types at the groupoid level and incorporates coherence equations, providing a natural extension of the CwF framework when starting from a 1-category. We demonstrate that the initial GCwF for a type theory with a base family of sets and Π-types (groupoid-syntax) is set-truncated. Consequently, this allows us to utilize the conventional intrinsic syntax of type theory while enabling interpretations in semantically richer and more natural models. All constructions in this paper were formalised in Cubical Agda.

On Left Adjoints Preserving Colimits in HoTT

Authors: Perry Hart

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 363, 34th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2026)

Abstract
We examine how the standard proof that left adjoints preserve colimits behaves in the setting of wild categories, a natural setting for synthetic homotopy theory inside homotopy type theory. We prove that the proof may fail for adjunctions between wild categories. Our core contribution, however, is a sufficient condition on the left adjoint for the proof to go through. The condition, called 2-coherence, expresses that the naturality structure of the hom-isomorphism commutes with composition of morphisms. We present two useful examples of this condition in action. First, we use it, along with a new version of a known trick for homogeneous types, to show that the suspension functor preserves graph-indexed colimits. Second, we show that every modality, viewed as a functor on coslices of a type universe, is 2-coherent as a left adjoint to the forgetful functor from the subcategory of modal types, thereby proving this subcategory is cocomplete. We have formalized our main results in Agda.

Formalising Inductive and Coinductive Containers

Authors: Stefania Damato, Thorsten Altenkirch, and Axel Ljungström

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
Containers capture the concept of strictly positive data types in programming. The original development of containers is done in the internal language of locally cartesian closed categories (LCCCs) with disjoint coproducts and W-types, and uniqueness of identity proofs (UIP) is implicitly assumed throughout. Although it is claimed that these developments can also be interpreted in extensional Martin-Löf type theory, this interpretation is not made explicit. In this paper, we present a formalisation of the results that "containers preserve least and greatest fixed points" in Cubical Agda, thereby giving a formulation in intensional type theory. Our proofs do not make use of UIP and thereby generalise the original results from talking about container functors on Set to container functors on the wild category of types. Our main incentive for using Cubical Agda is that its path type restores the equivalence between bisimulation and coinductive equality. Thus, besides developing container theory in a more general setting, we also demonstrate the usefulness of Cubical Agda’s path type to coinductive proofs.

Canonical for Automated Theorem Proving in Lean

Authors: Chase Norman and Jeremy Avigad

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
Canonical is a solver for type inhabitation in dependent type theory, that is, the problem of producing a term of a given type. We present a Lean tactic which invokes Canonical to generate proof terms and synthesize programs. The tactic supports higher-order and dependently-typed goals, structural recursion over indexed inductive types, and definitional equality. Canonical finds proofs for 84% of Natural Number Game problems in 51 seconds total.

Formalizing Colimits in 𝒞at

Authors: Mario Carneiro and Emily Riehl

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
Certain results involving "higher structures" are not currently accessible to computer formalization because the prerequisite ∞-category theory has not been formalized. To support future work on formalizing ∞-category theory in Lean’s mathematics library, we formalize some fundamental constructions involving the 1-category of categories. Specifically, we construct the left adjoint to the nerve embedding of categories into simplicial sets, defining the homotopy category functor. We prove further that this adjunction is reflective, which allows us to conclude that 𝒞at has colimits. To our knowledge this is the first formalized proof that the nerve functor is a fully faithful right adjoint and that the category of categories is cocomplete.

Distributive Laws of Monadic Containers

Authors: Chris Purdy and Stefania Damato

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 342, 11th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2025)

Abstract
Containers are used to carve out a class of strictly positive data types in terms of shapes and positions. They can be interpreted via a fully-faithful functor into endofunctors on Set. Monadic containers are those containers whose interpretation as a Set functor carries a monad structure. The category of containers is closed under container composition and is a monoidal category, whereas monadic containers do not in general compose. In this paper, we develop a characterisation of distributive laws of monadic containers. Distributive laws were introduced as a sufficient condition for the composition of the underlying functors of two monads to also carry a monad structure. Our development parallels Ahman and Uustalu’s characterisation of distributive laws of directed containers, i.e. containers whose Set functor interpretation carries a comonad structure. Furthermore, by combining our work with theirs, we construct characterisations of mixed distributive laws (i.e. of directed containers over monadic containers and vice versa), thereby completing the "zoo" of container characterisations of (co)monads and their distributive laws. We have found these characterisations amenable to development of existence and uniqueness proofs of distributive laws, particularly in the mechanised setting of Cubical Agda, in which most of the theory of this paper has been formalised.

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.

What Does It Take to Certify a Conversion Checker?

Authors: Meven Lennon-Bertrand

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

Abstract
We report on a detailed exploration of the properties of conversion (definitional equality) in dependent type theory, with the goal of certifying decision procedures for it. While in that context the property of normalisation has attracted the most light, we instead emphasize the importance of injectivity properties, showing that they alone are both crucial and sufficient to certify most desirable properties of conversion checkers. We also explore the certification of a fully untyped conversion checker, with respect to a typed specification, and show that the story is mostly unchanged, although the exact injectivity properties needed are subtly different.

Complexity of Cubical Cofibration Logics I: coNP-Complete Examples

Authors: Robert Rose and Daniel R. Licata

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

Abstract
We provide a comprehensive classification of the cofibration entailment problem, COFENT, for the cofibration logics of various cubical type theories in use today. The problem COFENT arose from the need of cubical proof assistants to automate reasoning about cubical complexes included in an n-dimensional hypercube. Intuitively, it asks: given logical descriptions of two such complexes, is one a subcomplex of the other? We show that the common variants of COFENT are coNP-complete.

Formally Specifying Contract Optimizations with Bisimulations in Coq

Authors: Derek Sorensen

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 129, 6th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Blockchains (FMBC 2025)

Abstract
The efficacy of formal verification of smart contracts depends on being able to correctly specify and carry out the verification of optimized code. However, code optimized for performance is rarely optimized for intelligibility, which can make formally verifying optimized code difficult and costly. To address this issue, we present a formal tool for reasoning about an optimized contract in terms of its reference implementation. This tool reduces the work of formally verifying an optimized contract to proving behavioral equivalence to the reference implementation.

The Functor of Points Approach to Schemes in Cubical Agda

Authors: Max Zeuner and Matthias Hutzler

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 309, 15th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2024)

Abstract
We present a formalization of quasi-compact and quasi-separated schemes (qcqs-schemes) in the Cubical Agda proof assistant. We follow Grothendieck’s functor of points approach, which defines schemes, the quintessential notion of modern algebraic geometry, as certain well-behaved functors from commutative rings to sets. This approach is often regarded as conceptually simpler than the standard approach of defining schemes as locally ringed spaces, but to our knowledge it has not yet been adopted in formalizations of algebraic geometry. We build upon a previous formalization of the so-called Zariski lattice associated to a commutative ring in order to define the notion of compact open subfunctor. This allows for a concise definition of qcqs-schemes, streamlining the usual presentation as e.g. given in the standard textbook of Demazure and Gabriel. It also lets us obtain a fully constructive proof that compact open subfunctors of affine schemes are qcqs-schemes.
