We give an analysis of the non-constructivity of the following basic result: if X and Y are simplicial sets and Y has the Kan extension property, then Y^X also has the Kan extension property. By means of Kripke countermodels we show that even simple consequences of this basic result, such as edge reversal and edge composition, are not constructively provable. We also show that our unprovability argument will have to be refined if one strengthens the usual formulation of the Kan extension… Expand

Functional Kan Simplicial Sets: Non-Constructivity of Exponentiation
This work shows that-from a constructive point of view-functional Kan simplicial sets are, as it stands, unsatisfactory as a model of even simply typed lambda calculus. Expand
The Frobenius condition, right properness, and uniform fibrations
• Mathematics
• 2017
We develop further the theory of weak factorization systems and algebraic weak factorization systems. In particular, we give a method for constructing (algebraic) weak factorization systems whoseExpand
Uniform Fibrations and the Frobenius Condition
• Mathematics
• 2015
We introduce and study the notion of a uniform fibration in categories with a functorial cylinder. In particular, we show that in a wide class of presheaf categories, including simplicial sets andExpand
Towards a constructive simplicial model of Univalent Foundations
• Mathematics
• 2019
We provide a partial solution to the problem of defining a constructive version of Voevodsky's simplicial model of univalent foundations. For this, we prove constructive counterparts of the necessaryExpand
Constructive homotopy theory of marked semisimplicial sets
We develop the homotopy theory of semisimplicial sets constructively and without reference to point-set topology to obtain a constructive model for $\omega$-groupoids. Most of the development isExpand
The constructive Kan-Quillen model structure: two new proofs
• Mathematics
• 2019
We present two new proofs of Simon Henry's result that the category of simplicial sets admits a constructive counterpart of the classical Kan-Quillen model structure. Our proofs are entirelyExpand
Effective Kan fibrations in simplicial sets
• Mathematics, Computer Science
• ArXiv
• 2020
This work gives a constructive (explicit) proof showing that effective Kan fibrations are stable under push forward, or fibred exponentials, and gives an (ineffective) proof saying that the maps which can be equipped with the structure of an effective Kan fibration are precisely the ordinary Kanfibrations.

Unifying Cubical Models of Univalent Type Theory
• Mathematics, Computer Science
• CSL

It is formally verified in Agda that these fibrations are closed under the type formers of cubical type theory and that the model satisfies the univalence axiom. Expand
Cubical Methods in Homotopy Type Theory and Univalent Foundations
Cubical methods have played an important role in the development of Homotopy Type Theory and Univalent Foundations (HoTT/UF) in recent years. The original motivation behind these developments was toExpand
Higher Inductive Types and Parametricity in Cubical Type Theory
Cubical type theory is a novel extension of dependent type theory with a form of equality called a path. Path equality enjoys extensionality properties missing from traditional treatments ofExpand
