On symmetries of spheres in univalent foundations

Published 26 Jan 2024 in cs.LO and math.AT | (2401.15037v1)

Abstract: Working in univalent foundations, we investigate the symmetries of spheres, i.e., the types of the form $\mathbb{S}n = \mathbb{S}n$. The case of the circle has a slick answer: the symmetries of the circle form two copies of the circle. For higher-dimensional spheres, the type of symmetries has again two connected components, namely the components of the maps of degree plus or minus one. Each of the two components has $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ as fundamental group. For the latter result, we develop an EHP long exact sequence.
