Computads with invertible generators for weak ω-categories

Thibaut Benjamin, Camil Champin, Ioannis Markakis

We extend the notion of computads for weak \(ω\)-categories to allow marking certain generators as invertible, and describe inductively the free \(ω\)-categories they generate. Thi…

A type theory for invertibility in weak -categories

Thibaut Benjamin, Camil Champin, Ioannis Markakis

We present a conservative extension ICaTT of the dependent type theory CaTT for weak -categories with a type witnessing coinductive invertibility of cells. This extension allows…

AdapTT: Functoriality for Dependent Type Casts

Arthur Adjedj, Meven Lennon-Bertrand, Thibaut Benjamin +1

The ability to cast values between related types is a leitmotiv of many flavors of dependent type theory, such as observational type theories, subtyping, or cast calculi for gradua…

Beyond Eckmann-Hilton: Commutativity in Higher Categories

Thibaut Benjamin, Ioannis Markakis, Wilfred Offord +2

We show that in a weak globular -category, all composition operations are equivalent and commutative for cells with sufficiently degenerate boundary, which can be considered a h…

Naturality for higher-dimensional path types

Thibaut Benjamin, Ioannis Markakis, Wilfred Offord +2

We define a naturality construction for the operations of weak omega-categories, as a meta-operation in a dependent type theory. Our construction has a geometrical motivation as a…

Generating Higher Identity Proofs in Homotopy Type Theory

Thibaut Benjamin

Finster and Mimram have defined a dependent type theory called CaTT, which describes the structure of omega-categories. Types in homotopy type theory with their higher identity typ…

Invertible cells in -categories

Thibaut Benjamin, Ioannis Markakis

We study coinductive invertibility of cells in weak -categories. We use the inductive presentation of weak -categories via an adjunction with the category of computads, and s…

CaTT contexts are finite computads

Thibaut Benjamin, Ioannis Markakis, Chiara Sarti

Two novel descriptions of weak ω-categories have been recently proposed, using type-theoretic ideas. The first one is the dependent type theory CaTT whose models are ω-categories.…

Hom -categories of a computad are free

Thibaut Benjamin, Ioannis Markakis

We provide a new description of the hom functor on weak -categories, and we show that it admits a left adjoint that we call the suspension functor. We then show that the hom fun…

Formalization of dependent type theory: The example of CaTT

Thibaut Benjamin

We present the type theory CaTT, originally introduced by Finster and Mimram to describe globular weak -categories, and we formalise this theory in the language of homotopy type…

Monoidal weak omega-categories as models of a type theory

Thibaut Benjamin

Weak -categories are notoriously difficult to define because of the very intricate nature of their axioms. Various approaches have been explored, based on different shapes given…

Globular weak -categories as models of a type theory

Thibaut Benjamin, Eric Finster, Samuel Mimram

We study the dependent type theory CaTT, introduced by Finster and Mimram, which presents the theory of weak -categories, following the idea that type theories can be considered…
