Set-theoretic universes and paradoxes in 2-topoi

Joseph Helfer

This paper continues the development of (elementary) 2-topos theory, a foundational theory based on an axiomatization of the 2-category of categories. We prove that any 2-topos con…

Y is a least fixed point combinator

Joseph Helfer

The theory of recursive functions is related in a well-known way to the notion of *least fixed points*, by endowing a set of partial functions with an ordering in terms of their do…

The integral chow ring of

Joseph Helfer, Eric Jovinelly, Eric Larson +2

This paper computes the integral Chow ring of the moduli space of stable genus 2 curves of compact type. This is done by excising boundary strata from one-by-…

Internal 1-topoi in 2-topoi

Joseph Helfer

We further develop the notion of elementary 2-topos, introduced by Weber, by proposing certain new axioms. We show that in a 2-category C satisfying these axioms, the "discrete opf…

Severi curves of rational elliptic surfaces

François Greer, Joseph Helfer, John Sheridan

We study Severi curves parametrizing rational bisections of elliptic fibrations associated to general pencils of plane cubics. Our main results show that these Severi curves are co…

Exotic tight contact structures on

François-Simon Fauteux-Chapleau, Joseph Helfer

We introduce a variant of contact homology for convex open contact manifolds. As an application, we prove the existence of (in fact, infinitely many) exotic tight contact structure…

First-order homotopical logic

Joseph Helfer

We introduce a homotopy-theoretic interpretation of intuitionistic first-order logic based on ideas from Homotopy Type Theory. We provide a categorical formulation of this interpre…

Homotopies in Grothendieck fibrations

Joseph Helfer

We define a natural 2-categorical structure on the base category of a large class of Grothendieck fibrations. Given any model category , we apply this construction to a…

Counting cycles in labeled graphs: The nonpositive immersion property for one-relator groups

Joseph Helfer, Daniel T. Wise

We prove a rank 1 version of the Hanna Neumann Theorem. This shows that every one-relator 2-complex without torsion has the nonpositive immersion property. The proof generalizes to…
