Extended Initiality for Typed Abstract Syntax

Benedikt Ahrens.

Initial Semantics aims at interpreting the syntax associated to a signature as the initial object of some category of 'models', yielding induction and recursion principles for abstract syntax. Zsid\'o proves an initiality result for simply-typed syntax: given a signature S, the abstract syntax&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Categorical structures for type theory in univalent foundations

Benedikt Ahrens ; Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine ; Vladimir Voevodsky.

In this paper, we analyze and compare three of the many algebraic structures that have been used for modeling dependent type theories: categories with families, split type-categories, and representable maps of presheaves. We study these in univalent type theory, where the comparisons between them&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Presentable signatures and initial semantics

Benedikt Ahrens ; André Hirschowitz ; Ambroise Lafont ; Marco Maggesi.

We present a device for specifying and reasoning about syntax for datatypes, programming languages, and logic calculi. More precisely, we study a notion of "signature" for specifying syntactic constructions. In the spirit of Initial Semantics, we define the "syntax generated by a signature" to be&nbsp;[&hellip;]
