Primitive Recursive Dependent Type Theory (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Buchholtz, U. T., & Schipp von Branitz, J. (2024, July). Primitive Recursive Dependent Type Theory. Presented at LICS '24: 39th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science, Tallinn, Estonia

We show that restricting the elimination principle of the natural numbers type in Martin-Löf Type Theory (MLTT) to a universe of types not containing ####II-types ensures that all definable functions are primitive recursive. This extends the concept... Read More about Primitive Recursive Dependent Type Theory.

On symmetries of spheres in univalent foundations (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cagne, P., Buchholtz, U. T., Kraus, N., & Bezem, M. (2024, July). On symmetries of spheres in univalent foundations. Presented at LICS '24: 39th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science, Tallinn

Working in univalent foundations, we investigate the symmetries of spheres, i.e., the types of the form Sn = Sn. The case of the circle has a slick answer: the symmetries of the circle form two copies of the circle. For higher-dimensional spheres, th...
