Abstract We develop the basic theory of nilpotent types and their localizations away from sets of numbers in Homotopy Type Theory. For this, general results about the classifying spaces of fibrations with fiber an Eilenberg–Mac Lane space are proven. We also construct fracture squares for localizations away from sets of numbers. All of our proofs are constructive.

Central H-spaces and banded types

We introduce and study central types, which are generalizations of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces. A type is central when it is equivalent to the component of the identity among its own self-equivalences.…

Ext groups in Homotopy Type Theory

We develop the theory of Yoneda Ext groups over a ring in homotopy type theory (HoTT) and describe their interpretation into an $\infty$-topos. This is an abstract approach to Ext groups which does…

Localization in Homotopy Type Theory

We study localization at a prime in homotopy type theory, using self maps of the circle. Our main result is that for a pointed, simply connected type $X$, the natural map $X \to X_{(p)}$ induces…

The Hurewicz theorem in Homotopy Type Theory

We prove the Hurewicz theorem in homotopy type theory, i.e., that for $X$ a pointed, $(n-1)$-connected type $(n \geq 1)$ and $A$ an abelian group, there is a natural isomorphism $\pi_n(X)^{ab}…

All $(\infty,1)$-toposes have strict univalent universes

We prove the conjecture that any Grothendieck $(\infty,1)$-topos can be presented by a Quillen model category that interprets homotopy type theory with strict univalent universes. Thus, homotopy type…

Homotopy limits in type theory

This work provides a systematic study of homotopy limits of diagrams over graphs, formalized in the Coq proof assistant, and discusses some of the challenges posed by this approach to the formalizing Homotopy-theoretic material.

Higher Groups in Homotopy Type Theory

A development of the theory of higher groups, including infinity groups and connective spectra, in homotopy type theory is presented, which states that if an n-type can be delooped n + 2 times, then it is an infinite loop type.

Sequential Colimits in Homotopy Type Theory

This work presents a self-contained and fully formalized proof of the conjecture that in homotopy type theory sequential colimits appropriately commute with Σ-types.

Homotopy type theory is a new branch of mathematics that combines aspects of several different fields in a surprising way. It is based on a recently discovered connection between homotopy the- ory…

Modalities in homotopy type theory

The theory of factorization systems, reflective subuniverses, and modalities in homotopy type theory, including their construction using a "localization" higher inductive type, are developed.

Eilenberg-MacLane spaces in homotopy type theory

This paper gives a computer-checked construction of Eilenberg-MacLane spaces, a basic tool in algebraic topology that can be used to build spaces with specified homotopy groups, and to define the notion of cohomology with coefficients in G.

Semantics of higher inductive types

Abstract Higher inductive types are a class of type-forming rules, introduced to provide basic (and not-so-basic) homotopy-theoretic constructions in a type-theoretic style. They have proven very…
