Hofmann-Streicher lifting of fibred categories

Andrew Slattery, Jonathan Sterling

In 1997, Hofmann and Streicher introduced an explicit construction to lift a Grothendieck universe from the category of sets into the category of set-valued presheaves on a small c…

The Synthetic Sierpiński Cone

Fredrik Bakke, Jonathan Sterling, Mark Damuni Williams +1

In domains, categories, and toposes, the Sierpiński cone construction glues onto a space a universal closed point lying below all the other points. Although this is a lax colimit,…

Reflexive graph lenses in univalent foundations

Jonathan Sterling

Martin-Löf's identity types provide a generic (albeit opaque) notion of identification or "equality" between any two elements of the same type, embodied in a canonical reflexive g…

Vietoris-Rips complexes of torus grids

Henry Adams, Adenike Yeside Adetowubo, Hector Barriga-Acosta +2

We study the topology of Vietoris--Rips complexes of finite grids on the torus. Let be the grid of points on the flat torus , equipped with the…

Domains and Classifying Topoi

Jonathan Sterling, Lingyuan Ye

We explore a new connection between synthetic domain theory and Grothendieck topoi related to the distributive lattice classifier. In particular, all the axioms of synthetic domain…

When is the partial map classifier a Sierpiński cone?

Leoni Pugh, Jonathan Sterling

We study the relationship between partial map classifiers, Sierpiński cones, and axioms for synthetic higher categories and domains within univalent foundations. In particular, we…
