Synthetic 1-Categories in Directed Type Theory
Published 25 Oct 2024 in math.CT and cs.LO | (2410.19520v1)
Abstract: The field of directed type theory seeks to design type theories capable of reasoning synthetically about (higher) categories, by generalizing the symmetric identity types of Martin-L\"of Type Theory to asymmetric hom-types. We articulate the directed type theory of the category model, with appropriate modalities for keeping track of variances and a powerful directed-J rule capable of proving results about arbitrary terms of hom-types; we put this rule to use in making several constructions in synthetic 1-category theory. Because this theory is expressed entirely in terms of generalized algebraic theories, we know automatically that this directed type theory admits a syntax model and is the first step towards directed higher observational type theory.
