Book Chapter
Altenkirch, T., Capriotti, P., Dijkstra, G., Kraus, N., & Nordvall Forsberg, F. (2018). Quotient inductive-inductive types. In C. Baier, & U. Dal Lago (Eds.), FoSSaCS 2018: Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures (293-310). Cham: Springer Publishing Company. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-89366-2_16

Higher inductive types (HITs) in Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT) allow the definition of datatypes which have constructors for equalities over the defined type. HITs generalise quotient types and allow to define types which are not sets in the sense of H... Read More about Quotient inductive-inductive types.

Univalent higher categories via complete semi-segal types (2017)
Journal Article
Capriotti, P., & Kraus, N. (2018). Univalent higher categories via complete semi-segal types. Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages, 2(POPL), https://doi.org/10.1145/3158132

Category theory in homotopy type theory is intricate as categorical laws can only be stated “up to homotopy”, and thus require coherences. The established notion of a univalent category (as introduced by Ahrens et al.)solves this by considering only... Read More about Univalent higher categories via complete semi-segal types.

Extending Homotopy Type Theory with Strict Equality (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Altenkirch, T., Capriotti, P., & Kraus, N. (2016). Extending Homotopy Type Theory with Strict Equality. In 25th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (21:1-21:17). https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.CSL.2016.21

In homotopy type theory (HoTT), all constructions are necessarily stable under homotopy equivalence. This has shortcomings: for example, it is believed that it is impossible to define a type of semi-simplicial types. More generally, it is difficult a...
