We study the dependent type theory CaTT, introduced by Finster and Mimram, which presents the theory of weak ω-categories, following the idea that type theories can be considered as presentations of generalized algebraic theories. Our main contribution is a formal proof that the models of this type theory correspond precisely to weak ω-categories, as defined by Maltsiniotis, by generalizing a definition proposed by Grothendieck for weak ωgroupoids: Those are defined as suitable presheaves over…

This work studies the formalisation of weak omega-groupoids in Type Theory, motivated by Voevodsky's proposal of univalent type theory which is incompatible with proof-irrelevance and the results by Lumsdaine and Garner/van de Berg showing that the standard eliminator for equality gives rise to a weak Omega-groupoid.
WEAK ω-CATEGORIES FROM INTENSIONAL TYPE THEORY
We show that for any type in Martin-Löf Intensional Type Theory, the terms of that type and its higher identity types form a weak ω-category in the sense of Leinster. Precisely, we construct a

The aim of this paper is to present a simplified version of the notion of ∞-groupoid developed by Grothendieck in “Pursuing Stacks” and to introduce a definition of ∞-categories inspired by
A Cellular Nerve for Higher Categories
Abstract We realise Joyal' cell category Θ as a dense subcategory of the category of ω-categories. The associated cellular nerve of an ω-category extends the well-known simplicial nerve of a small
Internal Type Theory
We introduce categories with families as a new notion of model for a basic framework of dependent types. This notion is close to ordinary syntax and yet has a clean categorical description. We also

This thesis defines the James construction which allows us to prove the Freudenthal suspension theorem and the fact that there exists a natural number n such that π4(S3) ≃ Z/nZ, and introduces the Hopf invariant, allowing us to narrow down the n to either 1 or 2.
Types are weak ω‐groupoids

We define a notion of weak ω‐category internal to a model of Martin‐Löf's type theory, and prove that each type bears a canonical weak ω‐category structure obtained from the tower of iterated
