Models of HoTT [00CW]

there are lots of categorical models of dependent types

  • Categorical models with families: CwF
  • Natural models (see Awodey)
  • Categrogies with attributes: CwA
  • Comprehensible categories
  • Display map categories
  • B C systems

Intetional Identity Types correspond to weak factorization systems.

See https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/weak+factorization+system

  • some people also look at weak factorization systems

To convice a mathematician that HoTT is actually synthetical homotopy theory, refer them to https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.1211.2851 .

  • they use kan fibrations and kan complexes

With HoTT we talk about higher structures, so we need to think about what higher category theory should be.

Idea: Replace equalities with higher morphisms

  • 0-cells become objects
  • 1-cells morphisms
