An Algebraic Abstraction of the Localic Sheafification via the Tripos-to-Topos Construction

Maria Emilia Maietti, Davide Trotta

Localic and realizability toposes are two central classes of toposes in categorical logic, both arising from the Hyland, Johnstone and Pitts tripos-to-topos construction. We invest…

Fibred sets within a predicative and constructive effective topos

Cipriano Junior Cioffo, Maria Emilia Maietti, Samuele Maschio

We describe the fibrational structure of sets within the predicative variant of Hyland's Effective Topos previously introduced in Feferman's predicat…

Equiconsistency of the Minimalist Foundation with its classical version

Maria Emilia Maietti, Pietro Sabelli

The Minimalist Foundation, for short MF, was conceived by the first author with G. Sambin in 2005, and fully formalized in 2009, as a common core among the most relevant constructi…

On the Compatibility of Constructive Predicative Mathematics with Weyl's Classical Predicativity

Michele Contente, Maria Emilia Maietti

It is well known that most constructive and predicative foundations aiming to develop Bishop's constructive analysis are incompatible with a classical predicative development of an…

A topological counterpart of well-founded trees in dependent type theory

Maria Emilia Maietti, Pietro Sabelli

Within dependent type theory, we provide a topological counterpart of well-founded trees (for short, W-types) by using a proof-relevant version of the notion of inductively generat…

Quotients, pure existential completions and arithmetic universes

Maria Emilia Maietti, Davide Trotta

We provide a new description of Joyal's arithmetic universes through a characterization of the exact and regular completions of pure existential completions. We show that the regul…

The Compatibility of the Minimalist Foundation with Homotopy Type Theory

Michele Contente, Maria Emilia Maietti

The Minimalist Foundation, for short MF, is a two-level foundation for constructive mathematics ideated by Maietti and Sambin in 2005 and then fully formalized by Maietti in 2009.…

Generalized existential completions and their regular and exact completions

Maria Emilia Maietti, Davide Trotta

This paper aims to apply the tool of generalized existential completions of conjunctive doctrines, concerning a class of morphisms of their base category, to deepen the study o…

Quasitoposes as elementary quotient completions

Maria Emilia Maietti, Fabio Pasquali, Giuseppe Rosolini

The elementary quotient completion of an elementary doctrine in the sense of Lawvere was introduced in previous work by the first and third authors. It generalises the exact comple…

Inductive and Coinductive Topological Generation with Church's thesis and the Axiom of Choice

Maria Emilia Maietti, Samuele Maschio, Michael Rathjen

In this work we consider an extension MFcind of the Minimalist Foundation MF for predicative constructive mathematics with the addition of inductive and coinductive definitions suf…

A realizability semantics for inductive formal topologies, Church's Thesis and Axiom of Choice

Maria Emilia Maietti, Samuele Maschio, Michael Rathjen

We present a Kleene realizability semantics for the intensional level of the Minimalist Foundation, for short mtt, extended with inductively generated formal topologies, Church's t…

A predicative variant of Hyland's Effective Topos

Maria Emilia Maietti, Samuele Maschio

Here, we present a subcategory pEff of Hyland's Effective Topos Eff which can be considered a predicative variant of Eff itself. The construction of pEff is motivated by the desire…

Elementary Quotient Completions, Church's Thesis, and Partioned Assemblies

Maria Emilia Maietti, Fabio Pasquali, Giuseppe Rosolini

Hyland's effective topos offers an important realizability model for constructive mathematics in the form of a category whose internal logic validates Church's Thesis. It also cont…

An extensional Kleene realizability semantics for the Minimalist Foundation

Maria Emilia Maietti, Samuele Maschio

We build a Kleene realizability semantics for the two-level Minimalist Foundation MF, ideated by Maietti and Sambin in 2005 and completed by Maietti in 2009. Thanks to this semanti…

Unifying exact completions

Maria Emilia Maietti, Giuseppe Rosolini

We define the notion of exact completion with respect to an existential elementary doctrine. We observe that the forgetful functor from the 2-category exact categories to existenti…

Convergence in Formal Topology: a unifying notion

Francesco Ciraulo, Maria Emilia Maietti, Giovanni Sambin

Several variations on the definition of a Formal Topology exist in the literature. They differ on how they express convergence, the formal property corresponding to the fact that o…

Elementary quotient completion

Maria Emilia Maietti, Giuseppe Rosolini

We extend the notion of exact completion on a weakly lex category to elementary doctrines. We show how any such doctrine admits an elementary quotient completion, which freely adds…

Constructive version of Boolean algebra

Francesco Ciraulo, Maria Emilia Maietti, Paola Toto

The notion of overlap algebra introduced by G. Sambin provides a constructive version of complete Boolean algebra. Here we first show some properties concerning overlap algebras: w…

Quotient completion for the foundation of constructive mathematics

Maria Emilia Maietti, Giuseppe Rosolini

We apply some tools developed in categorical logic to give an abstract description of constructions used to formalize constructive mathematics in foundations based on intensional t…

Subspaces of an arithmetic universe via type theory

Maria Emilia Maietti

We define the notion of subspace of an arithmetic universe by using its internal dependent type theory.

A minimalist two-level foundation for constructive mathematics

Maria Emilia Maietti

We present a two-level theory to formalize constructive mathematics as advocated in a previous paper with G. Sambin. One level is given by an intensional type theory, called Minima…
