\chapter*{Abstract}
The usual notion of propositional equality in intensional type-theory
is restrictive. For instance it does not admit functional
extensionality or univalence. This poses a severe limitation on both
extensionality nor univalence. This poses a severe limitation on both
what is \emph{provable} and the \emph{re-usability} of proofs. Recent
developments have, however, resulted in cubical type theory which
developments have however resulted in cubical type theory which
permits a constructive proof of these two important notions. The
programming language Agda has been extended with capabilities for
working in such a cubical setting. This thesis will explore the
usefulness of this extension in the context of category theory.
The thesis will motivate and explain why propositional equality in
cubical Agda is more expressive than in standard Agda. Alternative
approaches to Cubical Agda will be presented and their pros and cons
will be explained. It will emphasize why it is useful to have a
constructive interpretation of univalence. As an example of this two
formulations of monads will be presented: Namely monads in the
monoidal form and monads in the Kleisli form.

\chapter*{Acknowledgements}
I would like to thank my supervisor Thierry Coquand for giving me a
chance to work on this interesting topic. I would also like to thank
Andrea Vezzosi for some very long and very insightful meetings during
the project. It is fascinating and almost uncanny how quickly Andrea
can conjure up various proofs. I also want to recognize the support
of Knud Højgaards Fond who graciously sponsored me with a 20.000 DKK
scholarship which helped toward sponsoring the two years I have spent
studying abroad. I would also like to give a warm thanks to my fellow
students Pierre Kraft and Nachiappan Villiappan who have made the time
spent working on the thesis way more enjoyable. Lastly I would like to
give a special thanks to Valentina Méndez who have been a great moral
support throughout the whole process.

Cubical Agda both functional extensionality and univalence are

issues that arise that are not present in standard Agda. For one thing
ITT and standard Agda enjoys Uniqueness of Identity Proofs (UIP). This
is not the case in Cubical Agda. In stead there exists a hierarchy of
types with increasing \nomen{homotopical structure}{homotopy levels}.
It turns out to be useful to built the formalization with this
hierarchy in mind as it can simplify proofs considerably. Another
issue one must overcome in Cubical Agda is when a type has a field
whose type depends on a previous field. In this case paths between
such types will be heterogeneous paths. This problem is related to
Cubical Agda not having the K-rule. In practice it turns out to be
considerably more difficult to work heterogeneous paths than with
homogeneous paths. The thesis demonstrated some techniques to overcome
these difficulties, such as based path-induction.

This thesis formalized some of the core concepts from category theory including;
categories, functors, products, exponentials, Cartesian closed categories,
natural transformations, the yoneda embedding, monads and more. Category theory
is an interesting case-study for the application of Cubical Agda for two reasons
in particular: Because category theory is the study of abstract algebra of
functions, meaning that functional extensionality is particularly relevant.
Another reason is that in category theory it is commonplace to identify
isomorphic structures and univalence allows for making this notion precise. This
thesis also demonstrated another technique that is common in category theory;
namely to define categories to prove properties of other structures.
Specifically a category was defined to demonstrate that any two product objects
in a category are isomorphic. Furthermore the thesis showed two formulations of
monads and proved that they indeed are equivalent: Namely monads in the
monoidal- and Kleisli- form. The monoidal formulation is more typical to
category theoretic formulations and the Kleisli formulation will be more
familiar to functional programmers. In the formulation we also saw how paths can
be used to extract functions. A path between two types induce an isomorphism
between the two types. This e.g. permits developers to write a monad instance
for a given type using the Kleisli formulation. By transporting along the path
between the monoidal- and Kleisli- formulation one can reuse all the operations
and results shown for monoidal- monads in the context of kleisli monads.

this token $P\ 0$ then corresponds to the type at the left-endpoint
and $P\ 1$ as the type at the right-endpoint. The type is called
$\Path$ because it is connected with paths in homotopy theory. The
intuition behind this is that $\Path$ describes paths in $\MCU$ --
i.e.\ between types. For a path $p$ for the point $p\ i$ the index $i$
describes how far along the path one has moved. An inhabitant of
$\Path\ P\ a_0\ a_1$ is a (dependent-) function, $p$, from the

It is also surpisingly easy to show functional extensionality with which we can
construct a path between $f$ and $g$ -- the functions defined in the
introduction (section \S\ref{sec:functional-extensionality}). Functional
extensionality is the proposition, given a type $A \tp \MCU$, a family of types
$B \tp A \to \MCU$ and functions $f, g \tp \prod_{a \tp A} B\ a$:
It is also surprisingly easy to show functional extensionality.
Functional extensionality is the proposition that given a type $A \tp
\MCU$, a family of types $B \tp A \to \MCU$ and functions $f, g \tp
\prod_{a \tp A} B\ a$ gives:
%
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:funExt}
\funExt \tp \prod_{a \tp A} f\ a \equiv g\ a \to f \equiv g

%% p = λ i a → p a i
So given $p \tp \prod_{a \tp A} f\ a \equiv g\ a$ we must give a path $f \equiv
g$. That is a function $I \to \prod_{a \tp A} B\ a$. So let $i \tp I$ be given.
%% p = λ\; i a → p a i
So given $η \tp \prod_{a \tp A} f\ a \equiv g\ a$ we must give a path $f \equiv
g$. That is a function $\I \to \prod_{a \tp A} B\ a$. So let $i \tp \I$ be given.
We must now give an expression $\phi \tp \prod_{a \tp A} B\ a$ satisfying
$\phi\ 0 \equiv f\ a$ and $\phi\ 1 \equiv g\ a$. This neccesitates that the
expression must be a lambda-abstraction, so let $a \tp A$ be given. Now we can
apply $a$ to $p$ and get the path $p\ a \tp f\ a \equiv g\ a$. And this exactly

With this we can now prove the desired equality $f \equiv g$ from section
\S\ref{sec:functional-extensionality}:
With $\funExt$ in place we can now construct a path between
$\var{zeroLeft}$ and $\var{zeroRight}$ -- the functions defined in the
introduction \S\ref{sec:functional-extensionality}:

Here $\phi \tp \prod_{n \tp \bN} \var{zeroLeft}\ n \equiv
\var{zeroRight} n$. Paths have some other important properties, but
they are not the focus of this thesis. \TODO{Refer the reader

\section{Homotopy levels}
In ITT all equality proofs are identical (in a closed context). This means that,
in some sense, any two inhabitants of $a \equiv b$ are ``equally good'' -- they
do not have any interesting structure. This is referred to as Uniqueness of
Identity Proofs (UIP). Unfortunately it is not possible to have a type theory
with both univalence and UIP. In stead we have a hierarchy of types with an
increasing amount of homotopic structure. At the bottom of this hierarchy we

type family indexed by a path by only considering if said path is $\refl$ (the

a heterogeneous path between any two elements of $p_0 \tp P\ a_0$ and $p_1 \tp
P\ a_1$:
Another very useful combinator is $\lemPropF$: Given a type $A \tp
\MCU$ and a type family on $A$; $D \tp A \to \MCU$. Let $\var{propD}
\tp \prod_{x \tp A} \isProp\ (D\ x)$ be the proof that $D$ is a mere
proposition for all elements of $A$. Furthermore say we have a path
between some two elements in $A$; $p \tp a_0 \equiv a_1$ then we can
built a heterogeneous path between any two elements of $d_0 \tp
D\ a_0$ and $d_1 \tp D\ a_1$.

As well as a range of various results about these. E.g.\ I have shown
that the category of sets has products. In the following I aim to
demonstrate some of the techniques employed in this formalization and
in the interest of brevity I will not detail all the things I have
formalized. In stead, I have selected parts of this formalization that
formalized. In stead I have selected parts of this formalization that
highlight some interesting proof techniques relevant to doing proofs
in Cubical Agda. This chapter will focus on the definition of
\emph{categories}, \emph{equivalences}, the \emph{opposite category},
the \emph{category of sets}, \emph{products}, the \emph{span category}
and the two formulations of \emph{monads}.
One such technique that is pervasive to this formalization is the idea of
distinguishing types with more or less homotopical structure. To do this I have
followed the following design-principle: I have split concepts up into things
that represent ``data'' and ``laws'' about this data. The idea is that we can
provide a proof that the laws are mere propositions. As an example a category is
defined to have two members: `raw` which is a collection of the data and
`isCategory` which asserts some laws about that data.

is achieved by creating a function embodying the ``equality principle'' for a
given type.

\section{Categories}
\label{sec:categories}
The data for a category consist of a type for the sort of objects; a type for
the sort of arrows; an identity arrow and a composition operation for arrows.
Another record encapsulates some laws about this data: associativity of
composition, identity law for the identity morphism. These are standard
constituents of a category and can be found in typical mathematical expositions
on the topic. We, however, impose one further requirement on what it means to be
a category, namely that the type of arrows form a set.

impose one further requirement on what it means to be a category,
namely that the type of arrows form a set.
Such categories are called \nomen{1-categories}{1-category}. It is possible to relax
this requirement. This would lead to the notion of higher categories (\cite[p.
307]{hott-2013}). For the purpose of this project, however, this report will
restrict itself to 1-categories\index{1-category}. Generalizing this work to
higher categories would be a very natural possible extension of this work.

Raw categories satisfying all of the above requirements are called a
\nomenindex{pre categories}. As a further requirement to be a proper category we
\nomenindex{pre-categories}. As a further requirement to be a proper category we
require it to be univalent. Before we can define this, I must introduce two more
definitions: If we let $p$ be a witness to the identity law, which formally is:
%
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:identity}
\var{IsIdentity} \defeq
\prod_{A\ B \tp \Object} \prod_{f \tp \Arrow\ A\ B}
\prod_{A, B \tp \Object} \prod_{f \tp \Arrow\ A\ B}
\left(\id \lll f \equiv f\right) \x \left(f \lll \id \equiv f\right)
\end{equation}
%
Then we can construct the identity isomorphism $\idIso \tp \identity,
\identity, p \tp A \approxeq A$ for any object $A$. Here $\approxeq$ denotes
isomorphism on objects (whereas $\cong$ denotes isomorphism of types). This will
be elaborated further on in sections \S\ref{sec:equiv} and
\S\ref{sec:univalence}. Moreover, due to substitution for paths we can construct
an isomorphism from \emph{any} path:

mere propositions. Most of the proofs simply use the fact that the type of
arrows are sets. This is because most of the laws are a collection of equations

look like they are a structure on categories. After all it consist of
a select element and two arrows given some two objects. If formulated

Note that $0 + n$ is \emph{not} definitionally equal to $n$. $0 + n$
is in normal form. I.e.; there is no rule for $+$ whose left hand side
matches this expression. We \emph{do}, however, have that they are
\nomen{propositionally}{propositional equality} equal, which we write
as $n + 0 \equiv n$. Propositional equality means that there is a
proof that exhibits this relation. Since equality is a transitive
relation we have that $n + 0 \equiv 0 + n$.
Unfortunately we don't have $f \equiv g$. There is no way to construct
a proof asserting the obvious equivalence of $f$ and $g$. Actually
showing this is outside the scope of this text. Essentially it would
involve giving a model for our type theory that validates all our
axioms but where $f \equiv g$ is not true. We cannot show that they
are equal, even though we can prove them equal for all points. For
functions this is exactly the notion of equality that we are
interested in: Functions are considered equal when they are equal for
all inputs. This is called \nomenindex{point wise equality}, where the
\emph{points} of a function refer to its arguments.

Note that $0 + n$ is \emph{not} definitionally equal to $n$. This is
because $0 + n$ is in normal form. I.e.\ there is no rule for $+$
whose left hand side matches this expression. We do however have that
they are \nomen{propositionally}{propositional equality} equal, which
we write as $n \equiv n + 0$. Propositional equality means that there
is a proof that exhibits this relation. We can do induction over $n$
to prove this:

\var{zrn}\ & \tp ∀ n → n ≡ \var{zeroRight}\ n \\

\var{zrn}\ (\var{suc}\ n) & \defeq \var{cong}\ \var{suc}\ (\var{zrn}\ n)

This show that zero is a right neutral element hence the name $\var{zrn}$.
Since equality is a transitive relation we have that $\forall n \to
\var{zeroLeft}\ n \equiv \var{zeroRight}\ n$. Unfortunately we don't
have $\var{zeroLeft} \equiv \var{zeroRight}$. There is no way to
construct a proof asserting the obvious equivalence of
$\var{zeroLeft}$ and $\var{zeroRight}$. Actually showing this is
outside the scope of this text. Essentially it would involve giving a
model for our type theory that validates all our axioms but where
$\var{zeroLeft} \equiv \var{zeroRight}$ is not true. We cannot show

The above examples serve to illustrate a limitation of ITT. One case where these
limitations are particularly prohibitive is in the study of Category Theory. At
a glance category theory can be described as ``the mathematical study of
(abstract) algebras of functions'' (\cite{awodey-2006}). By that token
functional extensionality is particularly useful for formulating Category
Theory. In Category theory it is also common to identify isomorphic structures
and univalence gives us a way to make this notion precise. In fact we can
formulate this requirement within our formulation of categories by requiring the
\emph{categories} themselves to be univalent as we shall see.
