Epimorphisms and Acyclic Types in Univalent Foundations (2401.14106v3)

Published 25 Jan 2024 in cs.LO, math.AT, and math.CT

Abstract: We characterize the epimorphisms in homotopy type theory (HoTT) as the fiberwise acyclic maps and develop a type-theoretic treatment of acyclic maps and types in the context of synthetic homotopy theory as developed in univalent foundations. We present examples and applications in group theory, such as the acyclicity of the Higman group, through the identification of groups with 0-connected, pointed 1-types. Many of our results are formalized as part of the agda-unimath library.
