Internal languages of locally cartesian closed -categories

arXiv:2509.03371

Abstract

We establish a DK-equivalence between the relative category of -tribes and the relative category of locally cartesian closed quasicategories. From this follows one of the internal languages conjecture: Martin-Löf type theory with dependent sums, intensional identity types, and dependent products satisfying functional extensionality is the internal language of locally cartesian closed -categories.
