\label{ch:implementation}
|
||
This implementation formalizes the following concepts:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{enumerate}[i.]
|
||
\item Categories
|
||
\item Functors
|
||
\item Products
|
||
\item Exponentials
|
||
\item Cartesian closed categories
|
||
\item Natural transformations
|
||
\item Yoneda embedding
|
||
\item Monads
|
||
\item Categories
|
||
\begin{enumerate}[i.]
|
||
\item Opposite category
|
||
\item Category of sets
|
||
\item ``Pair category''
|
||
\end{enumerate}
|
||
\end{enumerate}
|
||
%
|
||
Furthermore the following items have been partly formalized:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{enumerate}[i.]
|
||
\item The (higher) category of categories.
|
||
\item Category of relations
|
||
\item Category of functors and natural transformations -- only as a precategory
|
||
\item Free category
|
||
\item Monoidal objects
|
||
\item Monoidal categories
|
||
\end{enumerate}
|
||
%
|
||
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 a parts
|
||
of this formalization that highlight some interesting proof techniques relevant
|
||
to doing proofs in Cubical Agda.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
This allows me to reason about things in a more ``standard mathematical way'',
|
||
where one can reason about two categories by simply focusing on the data. This
|
||
is achieved by creating a function embodying the ``equality principle'' for a
|
||
given type.
|
||
|
||
For the rest of this chapter I will present some of these results. For didactic
|
||
reasons no source-code has been included in this chapter. To see the formal
|
||
definitions excerpts of the implementation have been included in appendix
|
||
\S\ref{ch:app-sources}:
|
||
Appendix
|
||
\S\ref{sec:app-categories} corresponds to section \S\ref{sec:categories},
|
||
appendix \S\ref{sec:app-products} to section \S\ref{sec:products}
|
||
and appendix \S\ref{sec:app-monads} to section \S\ref{sec:monads}.
|
||
|
||
|
||
\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.
|
||
|
||
Such categories are called \nomen{1-categories}. 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. Making based on higher categories would be a
|
||
very natural possible extension of this work.
|
||
|
||
Raw categories satisfying all of the above requirements are called a
|
||
\nomen{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 A \to B}
|
||
\id \comp f \equiv f \x f \comp \id \equiv f
|
||
\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:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
\idToIso \tp A ≡ B → A ≊ B
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
%
|
||
The univalence criterion for categories states that this map must be an
|
||
equivalence. The requirement is similar to univalence for types, but where
|
||
isomorphism on objects play the role of equivalence on types. Formally:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:cat-univ}
|
||
\isEquiv\ (A \equiv B)\ (A \approxeq B)\ \idToIso
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Note that \ref{eq:cat-univ} is \emph{not} the same as:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
\label{eq:cat-univalence}
|
||
%% \tag{Univalence, category}
|
||
(A \equiv B) \simeq (A \approxeq B)
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
%
|
||
However the two are logically equivalent: One can construct the latter from the
|
||
former simply by ``forgetting'' that $\idToIso$ plays the role of the
|
||
equivalence. The other direction is more involved and will be discussed in
|
||
section \S\ref{sec:univalence}.
|
||
|
||
In summary, the definition of a category is the following collection of data:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\Object & \tp \Type \\
|
||
\Arrow & \tp \Object \to \Object \to \Type \\
|
||
\identity & \tp \Arrow\ A\ A \\
|
||
\lll & \tp \Arrow\ B\ C \to \Arrow\ A\ B \to \Arrow\ A\ C
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
And laws:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
%% \tag{associativity}
|
||
h \lll (g \lll f) ≡ (h \lll g) \lll f \\
|
||
%% \tag{identity}
|
||
\identity \lll f ≡ f \x
|
||
f \lll \identity ≡ f
|
||
\\
|
||
\label{eq:arrows-are-sets}
|
||
%% \tag{arrows are sets}
|
||
\isSet\ (\Arrow\ A\ B)\\
|
||
\tag{\ref{eq:cat-univ}}
|
||
\isEquiv\ (A \equiv B)\ (A \approxeq B)\ \idToIso
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
$\lll$ denotes arrow composition (right-to-left), and reverse function
|
||
composition (left-to-right, diagrammatic order) is denoted $\rrr$. The objects
|
||
($A$, $B$ and $C$) and arrow ($f$, $g$, $h$) are implicitly universally
|
||
quantified.
|
||
|
||
With all this in place it is now possible to prove that all the laws are indeed
|
||
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
|
||
between arrows in the category. And since such a proof does not have any content
|
||
exactly because the type of arrows form a set, two witnesses must be the same.
|
||
All the proofs are really quite mechanical. Lets have a look at one of them.
|
||
Proving that \ref{eq:identity} is a mere proposition:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
\isProp\ \var{IsIdentity}
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
%
|
||
There are multiple ways to prove this. Perhaps one of the more intuitive proofs
|
||
is by way of the `combinators' $\propPi$ and $\propSig$ presented in sections
|
||
\S\ref{sec:propPi} and \S\ref{sec:propSig}:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\propPi & \tp \left(\prod_{a \tp A} \isProp\ (P\ a)\right) \to \isProp\ \left(\prod_{a \tp A} P\ a\right)
|
||
\\
|
||
\propSig & \tp \isProp\ A \to \left(\prod_{a \tp A} \isProp\ (P\ a)\right) \to \isProp\ \left(\sum_{a \tp A} P\ a\right)
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
So the proof goes like this: We `eliminate' the 3 function abstractions by
|
||
applying $\propPi$ three times. So our proof obligation becomes:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\isProp \left( \id \comp f \equiv f \x f \comp \id \equiv f \right)
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
Then we eliminate the (non-dependent) sigma-type by applying $\propSig$ giving
|
||
us the two obligations: $\isProp\ (\id \comp f \equiv f)$ and $\isProp\ (f \comp
|
||
\id \equiv f)$ which follows from the type of arrows being a
|
||
set.
|
||
|
||
This example illustrates nicely how we can use these combinators to reason about
|
||
`canonical' types like $\sum$ and $\prod$. Similar combinators can be defined at
|
||
the other homotopic levels. These combinators are however not applicable in
|
||
situations where we want to reason about other types - e.g. types we have
|
||
defined ourselves. For instance, after we have proven that all the projections
|
||
of pre-categories are propositions, then we would like to bundle this up to show
|
||
that the type of pre-categories is also a proposition. Formally:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
\label{eq:propIsPreCategory}
|
||
\isProp\ \IsPreCategory
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
%
|
||
Where The definition of $\IsPreCategory$ is the triple:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\var{isAssociative} & \tp \var{IsAssociative}\\
|
||
\isIdentity & \tp \var{IsIdentity}\\
|
||
\var{arrowsAreSets} & \tp \var{ArrowsAreSets}
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
Each corresponding to the first three laws for categories. Note that since
|
||
$\IsPreCategory$ is not formulated with a chain of sigma-types we wont have any
|
||
combinators available to help us here. In stead the paths must be used directly.
|
||
|
||
\ref{eq:propIsPreCategory} is judgmentally the same as
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\prod_{a\ b \tp \IsPreCategory} a \equiv b
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
So let $a\ b \tp \IsPreCategory$ be given. To prove the equality $a \equiv b$ is
|
||
to give a continuous path from the index-type into the path-space. I.e. a
|
||
function $I \to \IsPreCategory$. This path must satisfy being being judgmentally
|
||
the same as $a$ at the left endpoint and $b$ at the right endpoint. We know we
|
||
can form a continuous path between all projections of $a$ and $b$, this follows
|
||
from the type of all the projections being mere propositions. For instance, the
|
||
path between $a.\isIdentity$ and $b.\isIdentity$ is simply formed by:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\propIsIdentity\ a.\isIdentity\ b.\isIdentity
|
||
\tp
|
||
a.\isIdentity \equiv b.\isIdentity
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
So to give the continuous function $I \to \IsPreCategory$, which is our goal, we
|
||
introduce $i \tp I$ and proceed by constructing an element of $\IsPreCategory$
|
||
by using the fact that all the projections are propositions to generate paths
|
||
between all projections. Once we have such a path e.g. $p \tp a.\isIdentity
|
||
\equiv b.\isIdentity$ we can eliminate it with $i$ and thus obtain $p\ i \tp
|
||
(p\ i).\isIdentity$. This element satisfies exactly that it corresponds to the
|
||
corresponding projections at either endpoint. Thus the element we construct at
|
||
$i$ becomes the triple:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
\label{eq:proof-prop-IsPreCategory}
|
||
\begin{aligned}
|
||
& \var{propIsAssociative} && a.\var{isAssociative}\
|
||
&& b.\var{isAssociative} && i \\
|
||
& \propIsIdentity && a.\isIdentity\
|
||
&& b.\isIdentity && i \\
|
||
& \var{propArrowsAreSets} && a.\var{arrowsAreSets}\
|
||
&& b.\var{arrowsAreSets} && i
|
||
\end{aligned}
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
%
|
||
I have found this to be a general pattern when proving things in homotopy type
|
||
theory, namely that you have to wrap and unwrap equalities at different levels.
|
||
It is worth noting that proving this theorem with the regular inductive equality
|
||
type would already not be possible, since we at least need extensionality (the
|
||
projections are all $\prod$-types). Assuming we had functional extensionality
|
||
available to us as an axiom, we would use functional extensionality (in
|
||
reverse?) to retrieve the equalities in $a$ and $b$, pattern-match on them to
|
||
see that they are both $\refl$ and then close the proof with $\refl$.
|
||
Of course this theorem is not so interesting in the setting of ITT since we know
|
||
a priori that equality proofs are unique.
|
||
|
||
The situation is a bit more complicated when we have a dependent type. For
|
||
instance, when we want to show that $\IsCategory$ is a mere proposition.
|
||
$\IsCategory$ is a record with two fields, a witness to being a pre-category and
|
||
the univalence condition. Recall that the univalence condition is indexed by the
|
||
identity-proof. So to follow the same recipe as above, let $a\ b \tp
|
||
\IsCategory$ be given, to show them equal, we now need to give two paths. One homogeneous:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
p \tp a.\isPreCategory \equiv b.\isPreCategory
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
and one heterogeneous:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\Path\ (\lambda\; i \to (p\ i).Univalent)\ a.\isPreCategory\ b.\isPreCategory
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
Which depends on the choice of $p$. The first of these we can provide since, as
|
||
we have shown, $\IsPreCategory$ is a proposition. However, even though
|
||
$\Univalent$ is also a proposition, we cannot use this directly to show the
|
||
latter. This is because $\isProp$ talks about non-dependent paths. So we need to
|
||
'promote' the result that univalence is a proposition to a heterogeneous path.
|
||
To this end we can use $\lemPropF$, which was introduced in \S\ref{sec:lemPropF}.
|
||
|
||
In this case $A = \var{IsIdentity}\ \identity$ and $B = \Univalent$. We have
|
||
shown that being a category is a proposition, a result that holds for any choice
|
||
of identity proof. Finally we must provide a proof that the identity proofs at
|
||
$a$ and $b$ are indeed the same, this we can extract from $p$ by applying
|
||
congruence of paths:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\congruence\ \isIdentity\ p
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
And this finishes the proof that being-a-category is a mere proposition
|
||
(\ref{eq:propIsPreCategory}).
|
||
|
||
When we have a proper category we can make precise the notion of ``identifying
|
||
isomorphic types'' \TODO{cite Awodey here}. That is, we can construct the
|
||
function:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\isoToId \tp (A \approxeq B) \to (A \equiv B)
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
A perhaps somewhat surprising application of this is that we can show that
|
||
terminal objects are propositional:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:termProp}
|
||
\isProp\ \var{Terminal}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
It follows from the usual observation that any two terminal objects are
|
||
isomorphic - and since categories are univalent, so are they equal. The proof is
|
||
omitted here, but the curious reader can check the implementation for the
|
||
details. \TODO{The proof is a bit fun, should I include it?}
|
||
|
||
\section{Equivalences}
|
||
\label{sec:equiv}
|
||
The usual notion of a function $f \tp A \to B$ having an inverses is:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
\label{eq:isomorphism}
|
||
\sum_{g \tp B \to A} f \comp g \equiv \identity_{B} \x g \comp f \equiv \identity_{A}
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
%
|
||
This is defined in \cite[p. 129]{hott-2013} where it is referred to as the a
|
||
``quasi-inverse''. We shall refer to the type \ref{eq:isomorphism} as
|
||
$\Isomorphism\ f$. This also gives rise to the following type:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
A \cong B \defeq \sum_{f \tp A \to B} \Isomorphism\ f
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
%
|
||
At the same place \cite{hott-2013} gives an ``interface'' for what the judgment
|
||
$\isEquiv \tp (A \to B) \to \MCU$ must provide:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\var{fromIso} & \tp \Isomorphism\ f \to \isEquiv\ f \\
|
||
\var{toIso} & \tp \isEquiv\ f \to \Isomorphism\ f \\
|
||
\label{eq:propIsEquiv}
|
||
&\mathrel{\ } \isEquiv\ f
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
The maps $\var{fromIso}$ and $\var{toIso}$ naturally extend to these maps:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\var{fromIsomorphism} & \tp A \cong B \to A \simeq B \\
|
||
\var{toIsomorphism} & \tp A \simeq B \to A \cong B
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Having this interface gives us both: a way to think rather abstractly about how
|
||
to work with equivalences and a way to use ad hoc definitions of equivalences.
|
||
The specific instantiation of $\isEquiv$ as defined in \cite{cubical-agda} is:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
isEquiv\ f \defeq \prod_{b \tp B} \isContr\ (\fiber\ f\ b)
|
||
$$
|
||
where
|
||
$$
|
||
\fiber\ f\ b \defeq \sum_{a \tp A} \left( b \equiv f\ a \right)
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
I give its definition here mainly for completeness, because as I stated we can
|
||
move away from this specific instantiation and think about it more abstractly
|
||
once we have shown that this definition actually works as an equivalence.
|
||
|
||
$\var{fromIso}$ can be found in \cite{cubical-agda} where it is known as
|
||
$\var{gradLemma}$. The implementation of $\var{fromIso}$ as well as the proof
|
||
that this equivalence is a proposition (\ref{eq:propIsEquiv}) can be found in my
|
||
implementation.
|
||
|
||
We say that two types $A\;B \tp \Type$ are equivalent exactly if there exists an
|
||
equivalence between them:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
\label{eq:equivalence}
|
||
A \simeq B \defeq \sum_{f \tp A \to B} \isEquiv\ f
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
%
|
||
Note that the term equivalence here is overloaded referring both to the map $f
|
||
\tp A \to B$ and the type $A \simeq B$. The notion of an isomorphism is
|
||
similarly conflated as isomorphism can refer to the type $A \cong B$ as well as
|
||
the the map $A \to B$ that witness this. I will use these conflated terms when
|
||
it is clear from the context what is being referred to.
|
||
|
||
Both $\cong$ and $\simeq$ form equivalence relations (no pun intended).
|
||
|
||
\section{Univalence}
|
||
\label{sec:univalence}
|
||
As noted in the introduction the univalence for types $A\; B \tp \Type$ states
|
||
that:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\var{Univalence} \defeq (A \equiv B) \simeq (A \simeq B)
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
As mentioned the univalence criterion for some category $\bC$ says that for all
|
||
\emph{objects} $A\;B$ we must have:
|
||
$$
|
||
\isEquiv\ (A \equiv B)\ (A \approxeq B)\ \idToIso
|
||
$$
|
||
And I mentioned that this was logically equivalent to
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
(A \equiv B) \simeq (A \approxeq B)
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
Given that we saw in the previous section that we can construct an equivalence
|
||
from an isomorphism it suffices to demonstrate:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
(A \equiv B) \cong (A \approxeq B)
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
That is, we must demonstrate that there is an isomorphism (on types) between
|
||
equalities and isomorphisms (on arrows). It is worthwhile to dwell on this for a
|
||
few seconds. This type looks very similar to univalence for types and is
|
||
therefore perhaps a bit more intuitive to grasp the implications of. Of course
|
||
univalence for types (which is a proposition -- i.e. provable) does not imply
|
||
univalence of all pre-category since morphisms in a category are not regular
|
||
functions -- in stead they can be thought of as a generalization hereof. The univalence criterion therefore is simply a way of restricting arrows
|
||
to behave similarly to maps.
|
||
|
||
I will now mention a few helpful theorems that follow from univalence that will
|
||
become useful later.
|
||
|
||
Obviously univalence gives us an isomorphism between $A \equiv B$ and $A
|
||
\approxeq B$. I will name these for convenience:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\idToIso \tp A \equiv B \to A \approxeq B
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\isoToId \tp A \approxeq B \to A \equiv B
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
The next few theorems are variations on theorem 9.1.9 from \cite{hott-2013}. Let
|
||
an isomorphism $A \approxeq B$ in some category $\bC$ be given. Name the
|
||
isomorphism $\iota \tp A \to B$ and its inverse $\inv{\iota} \tp B \to A$.
|
||
Since $\bC$ is a category (and therefore univalent) the isomorphism induces a
|
||
path $p \tp A \equiv B$. From this equality we can get two further paths:
|
||
$p_{\var{dom}} \tp \Arrow\ A\ X \equiv \Arrow\ B\ X$ and
|
||
$p_{\var{cod}} \tp \Arrow\ X\ A \equiv \Arrow\ X\ B$. We
|
||
then have the following two theorems:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:coeDom}
|
||
\var{coeDom} & \tp \prod_{f \tp A \to X}
|
||
\var{coe}\ p_{\var{dom}}\ f \equiv f \lll \inv{\iota}
|
||
\\
|
||
\label{eq:coeCod}
|
||
\var{coeCod} & \tp \prod_{f \tp A \to X}
|
||
\var{coe}\ p_{\var{cod}}\ f \equiv \iota \lll f
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
I will give the proof of the first theorem here, the second one is analogous.
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\var{coe}\ p_{\var{dom}}\ f
|
||
& \equiv f \lll \inv{(\idToIso\ p)} && \text{lemma} \\
|
||
& \equiv f \lll \inv{\iota}
|
||
&& \text{$\idToIso$ and $\isoToId$ are inverses}\\
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
In the second step we use the fact that $p$ is constructed from the isomorphism
|
||
$\iota$ -- $\inv{(\idToIso\ p)}$ denotes the map $B \to A$ induced by the
|
||
isomorphism $\idToIso\ p \tp A \cong B$. The helper-lemma is similar to
|
||
what we are trying to prove but talks about paths rather than isomorphisms:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
\label{eq:coeDomIso}
|
||
\prod_{f \tp \Arrow\ A\ B} \prod_{p \tp A \equiv B}
|
||
\var{coe}\ p_{\var{dom}}\ f \equiv f \lll \inv{(\idToIso\ p)}
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
%
|
||
Again $p_{\var{dom}}$ denotes the path $\Arrow\ A\ X \equiv
|
||
\Arrow\ B\ X$ induced by $p$. To prove this statement I let $f$ and $p$ be
|
||
given and then invoke based-path-induction. The induction will be based at $A
|
||
\tp \Object$ Let $\widetilde{B} \tp \Object$ and $\widetilde{p} \tp A
|
||
\equiv \widetilde{B}$ be given. The family that we perform induction over will
|
||
be:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
D\ \widetilde{B}\ \widetilde{p} \defeq
|
||
%% \prod_{\widetilde{B} \tp \Object}
|
||
%% \prod_{\widetilde{p} \tp A \equiv \widetilde{B}}
|
||
\var{coe}\ {\widetilde{p}}^*\ f
|
||
\equiv
|
||
f \lll \inv{(\idToIso\ \widetilde{p})}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
The base-case therefore becomes
|
||
$d \tp \var{coe}\ \refl^*\ f \equiv f \lll \inv{(\idToIso\ \refl)}$
|
||
and is inhabited by:
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\var{coe}\ \refl^*\ f
|
||
& \equiv f
|
||
&& \text{$\refl$ is a neutral element for $\var{coe}$}\\
|
||
& \equiv f \lll \identity \\
|
||
& \equiv f \lll \var{subst}\ \refl\ \identity
|
||
&& \text{$\refl$ is a neutral element for $\var{subst}$}\\
|
||
& \equiv f \lll \inv{(\idToIso\ \refl)}
|
||
&& \text{By definition of $\idToIso$}\\
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
To close the based-path-induction we must supply the value ``at the other''. In
|
||
this case this is simply $B \tp \Object$ and $p \tp A \equiv B$ which we have.
|
||
In summary the proof of \ref{eq:coeDomIso} is the term:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{equation}
|
||
\label{eq:pathJ-example}
|
||
\pathJ\ D\ d\ B\ p
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
%
|
||
And this finishes the proof of \ref{eq:coeDomIso} and thus \ref{eq:coeDom}.
|
||
%
|
||
\section{Categories}
|
||
\subsection{Opposite category}
|
||
\label{op-cat}
|
||
The first category I will present is a pure construction on categories. Given
|
||
some category we can construct its dual, called the opposite category. Starting
|
||
with a simple example allows us to focus on how we work with equivalences and
|
||
univalence in a very simple category where the structure of the category is
|
||
rather simple.
|
||
|
||
Let $\bC$ be some category, we then define the opposite category
|
||
$\bC^{\var{Op}}$. It has the same objects, but the type of arrows are flipped,
|
||
that is to say an arrow from $A$ to $B$ in the opposite category corresponds to
|
||
an arrow from $B$ to $A$ in the underlying category. The identity arrow is the
|
||
same as the one in the underlying category (they have the same type). Function
|
||
composition will be reverse function composition from the underlying category.
|
||
|
||
I will refer to things in terms of the underlying category, unless they have an
|
||
over-bar. So e.g. $\idToIso$ is a function in the underlying category and the
|
||
corresponding thing is denoted $\wideoverbar{\idToIso}$ in the opposite
|
||
category.
|
||
|
||
Showing that this forms a pre-category is rather straightforward.
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
h \rrr (g \rrr f) \equiv h \rrr g \rrr f
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
Since $\rrr$ is reverse function composition this is just the symmetric version
|
||
of associativity.
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\identity \rrr f \equiv f \x f \rrr identity \equiv f
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
This is just the swapped version of identity.
|
||
|
||
Finally, that the arrows form sets just follows by flipping the order of the
|
||
arguments. Or in other words; since $\Arrow\ A\ B$ is a set for all $A\;B \tp
|
||
\Object$ then so is $Arrow\ B\ A$.
|
||
|
||
Now, to show that this category is univalent is not as straight-forward. Luckily
|
||
section \S\ref{sec:equiv} gave us some tools to work with equivalences. We saw
|
||
that we can prove this category univalent by giving an inverse to
|
||
$\wideoverbar{\idToIso} \tp (A \equiv B) \to (A \wideoverbar{\approxeq} B)$.
|
||
From the original category we have that $\idToIso \tp (A \equiv B) \to (A \cong
|
||
B)$ is an isomorphism. Let us denote its inverse with $\isoToId \tp (A
|
||
\approxeq B) \to (A \equiv B)$. If we squint we can see what we need is a way to
|
||
go between $\wideoverbar{\approxeq}$ and $\approxeq$.
|
||
|
||
An inhabitant of $A \approxeq B$ is simply an arrow $f \tp \Arrow\ A\ B$
|
||
and its inverse $g \tp \Arrow\ B\ A$. In the opposite category $g$ will
|
||
play the role of the isomorphism and $f$ will be the inverse. Similarly we can
|
||
go in the opposite direction. I name these maps $\shuffle \tp (A \approxeq
|
||
B) \to (A \wideoverbar{\approxeq} B)$ and $\shuffle^{-1} \tp (A
|
||
\wideoverbar{\approxeq} B) \to (A \approxeq B)$ respectively.
|
||
|
||
As the inverse of $\wideoverbar{\idToIso}$ I will pick $\wideoverbar{\isoToId}
|
||
\defeq \isoToId \comp \shuffle$. The proof that they are inverses go as
|
||
follows:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\wideoverbar{\isoToId} \comp \wideoverbar{\idToIso} & =
|
||
\isoToId \comp \shuffle \comp \wideoverbar{\idToIso}
|
||
\\
|
||
%% ≡⟨ cong (λ φ → φ x) (cong (λ φ → η ⊙ shuffle ⊙ φ) (funExt lem)) ⟩ \\
|
||
%
|
||
& \equiv
|
||
\isoToId \comp \shuffle \comp \inv{\shuffle} \comp \idToIso
|
||
&& \text{lemma} \\
|
||
%% ≡⟨⟩ \\
|
||
& \equiv
|
||
\isoToId \comp \idToIso
|
||
&& \text{$\shuffle$ is an isomorphism} \\
|
||
& \equiv
|
||
\identity
|
||
&& \text{$\isoToId$ is an isomorphism}
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
The other direction is analogous.
|
||
|
||
The lemma used in step 2 of this proof states that $\wideoverbar{idToIso} \equiv
|
||
\inv{\shuffle} \comp \idToIso$. This is a rather straight-forward proof
|
||
since being-an-inverse-of is a proposition, so it suffices to show that their
|
||
first components are equal, but this holds judgmentally.
|
||
|
||
This finished the proof that the opposite category is in fact a category. Now,
|
||
to prove that that opposite-of is an involution we must show:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\prod_{\bC \tp \Category} \left(\bC^{\var{Op}}\right)^{\var{Op}} \equiv \bC
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
As we have seen the laws in $\left(\bC^{\var{Op}}\right)^{\var{Op}}$ get quite
|
||
involved.\footnote{We have not even seen the full story because we have used
|
||
this `interface' for equivalences.} Luckily since being-a-category is a mere
|
||
proposition, we need not concern ourselves with this bit when proving the above.
|
||
We can use the equality principle for categories that let us prove an equality
|
||
just by giving an equality on the data-part. So, given a category $\bC$ all we
|
||
must provide is the following proof:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\var{raw}\ \left(\bC^{\var{Op}}\right)^{\var{Op}} \equiv \var{raw}\ \bC
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
And these are judgmentally the same. I remind the reader that the left-hand side
|
||
is constructed by flipping the arrows, which judgmentally is an involution.
|
||
|
||
\subsection{Category of sets}
|
||
The category of sets has as objects, not types, but only those types that are
|
||
homotopic sets. This is encapsulated in Agda with the following type:
|
||
%
|
||
$$\Set \defeq \sum_{A \tp \MCU} \isSet\ A$$
|
||
%
|
||
The more straight-forward notion of a category where the objects are types is
|
||
not a valid \mbox{(1-)category}. This stems from the fact that types in cubical
|
||
Agda types can have higher homotopic structure.
|
||
|
||
Univalence does not follow immediately from univalence for types:
|
||
%
|
||
$$(A \equiv B) \simeq (A \simeq B)$$
|
||
%
|
||
Because here $A\ B \tp \Type$ whereas the objects in this category have the type
|
||
$\Set$ so we cannot form the type $\var{hA} \simeq \var{hB}$ for objects
|
||
$\var{hA}\;\var{hB} \tp \Set$. In stead I show that this category
|
||
satisfies:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
(\var{hA} \equiv \var{hB}) \simeq (\var{hA} \approxeq \var{hB})
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
Which, as we saw in section \S\ref{sec:univalence}, is sufficient to show that the
|
||
category is univalent. The way that I have shown this is with a three-step
|
||
process. For objects $(A, s_A)\; (B, s_B) \tp \Set$ I show the following chain
|
||
of equivalences:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
((A, s_A) \equiv (B, s_B))
|
||
& \simeq (A \equiv B) && \ref{eq:equivPropSig} \\
|
||
& \simeq (A \simeq B) && \text{Univalence} \\
|
||
& \simeq ((A, s_A) \approxeq (B, s_B)) && \text{\ref{eq:equivSig} and \ref{eq:equivIso}}
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
|
||
And since $\simeq$ is an equivalence relation we can chain these equivalences
|
||
together. Step one will be proven with the following lemma:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:equivPropSig}
|
||
\left(\prod_{a \tp A} \isProp (P\ a)\right) \to \prod_{x\;y \tp \sum_{a \tp A} P\ a} (x \equiv y) \simeq (\fst\ x \equiv \fst\ y)
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
The lemma states that for pairs whose second component are mere propositions
|
||
equality is equivalent to equality of the first components. In this case the
|
||
type-family $P$ is $\isSet$ which itself is a proposition for any type $A \tp
|
||
\Type$. Step two is univalence. Step three will be proven with the following
|
||
lemma:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:equivSig}
|
||
\prod_{a \tp A} \left( P\ a \simeq Q\ a \right) \to \sum_{a \tp A} P\ a \simeq \sum_{a \tp A} Q\ a
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Which says that if two type-families are equivalent at all points, then pairs
|
||
with identical first components and these families as second components will
|
||
also be equivalent. For our purposes $P \defeq \isEquiv\ A\ B$ and $Q \defeq
|
||
\Isomorphism$. So we must finally prove:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:equivIso}
|
||
\prod_{f \tp A \to B} \left( \isEquiv\ A\ B\ f \simeq \Isomorphism\ f \right)
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
|
||
First, lets prove \ref{eq:equivPropSig}: Let $propP \tp \prod_{a \tp A} \isProp (P\ a)$ and $x\;y \tp \sum_{a \tp A} P\ a$ be given. Because
|
||
of $\var{fromIsomorphism}$ it suffices to give an isomorphism between
|
||
$x \equiv y$ and $\fst\ x \equiv \fst\ y$:
|
||
%
|
||
%% FIXME: Too much alignement?
|
||
\begin{equation*}
|
||
\begin{aligned}
|
||
f & \defeq \congruence\ \fst
|
||
&& \tp x \equiv y && \to \fst\ x \equiv \fst\ y \\
|
||
g & \defeq \var{lemSig}\ \var{propP}\ x\ y
|
||
&& \tp \fst\ x \equiv \fst\ y && \to x \equiv y
|
||
\end{aligned}
|
||
\end{equation*}
|
||
%
|
||
\TODO{Is it confusing that I use point-free style here?} Here $\var{lemSig}$ is
|
||
a lemma that says that if the second component of a pair is a proposition, it
|
||
suffices to give a path between its first components to construct an equality of
|
||
the two pairs:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\var{lemSig} \tp \left( \prod_{x \tp A} \isProp\ (B\ x) \right) \to
|
||
\prod_{u\; v \tp \sum_{a \tp A} B\ a}
|
||
\left( \fst\ u \equiv \fst\ v \right) \to u \equiv v
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
The proof that these are indeed inverses has been omitted. \TODO{Do I really
|
||
want to omit it?}\QED
|
||
|
||
Now to prove \ref{eq:equivSig}: Let $e \tp \prod_{a \tp A} \left( P\ a \simeq
|
||
Q\ a \right)$ be given. To prove the equivalence, it suffices to give an
|
||
isomorphism between $\sum_{a \tp A} P\ a$ and $\sum_{a \tp A} Q\ a$, but since
|
||
they have identical first components it suffices to give an isomorphism between
|
||
$P\ a$ and $Q\ a$ for all $a \tp A$. This is exactly what we can get from
|
||
the equivalence $e$.\QED
|
||
|
||
Lastly we prove \ref{eq:equivIso}. Let $f \tp A \to B$ be given. For the maps we
|
||
choose:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\var{toIso}
|
||
& \tp \isEquiv\ f \to \Isomorphism\ f \\
|
||
\var{fromIso}
|
||
& \tp \Isomorphism\ f \to \isEquiv\ f
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
As mentioned in section \S\ref{sec:equiv}. These maps are not in general inverses
|
||
of each other. In stead, we will use the fact that $A$ and $B$ are sets. The first thing we must prove is:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\var{fromIso} \comp \var{toIso} \equiv \identity_{\isEquiv\ f}
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
For this we can use the fact that being-an-equivalence is a mere proposition.
|
||
For the other direction:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\var{toIso} \comp \var{fromIso} \equiv \identity_{\Isomorphism\ f}
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
We will show that $\Isomorphism\ f$ is also a mere proposition. To this
|
||
end, let $X\;Y \tp \Isomorphism\ f$ be given. Name the maps $x\;y \tp B
|
||
\to A$ respectively. Now, the proof that $X$ and $Y$ are the same is a pair of
|
||
paths: $p \tp x \equiv y$ and $\Path\ (\lambda\; i \to
|
||
\var{AreInverses}\ f\ (p\ i))\ \mathcal{X}\ \mathcal{Y}$ where $\mathcal{X}$
|
||
and $\mathcal{Y}$ denotes the witnesses that $x$ (respectively $y$) is an
|
||
inverse to $f$. $p$ is inhabited by:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
x
|
||
& \equiv x \comp \identity \\
|
||
& \equiv x \comp (f \comp y)
|
||
&& \text{$y$ is an inverse to $f$} \\
|
||
& \equiv (x \comp f) \comp y \\
|
||
& \equiv \identity \comp y
|
||
&& \text{$x$ is an inverse to $f$} \\
|
||
& \equiv y
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
For the other (dependent) path we can prove that being-an-inverse-of is a
|
||
proposition and then use $\lemPropF$. So we prove the generalization:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:propAreInversesGen}
|
||
\prod_{g \tp B \to A} \isProp\ (\var{AreInverses}\ f\ g)
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
But $\var{AreInverses}\ f\ g$ is a pair of equations on arrows, so we use
|
||
$\propSig$ and the fact that both $A$ and $B$ are sets to close this proof.
|
||
|
||
\subsection{Category of categories}
|
||
Note that this category does in fact not exist. In stead I provide the
|
||
definition of the ``raw'' category as well as some of the laws.
|
||
|
||
Furthermore I provide some helpful lemmas about this raw category. For instance
|
||
I have shown what would be the exponential object in such a category.
|
||
|
||
These lemmas can be used to provide the actual exponential object in a context
|
||
where we have a witness to this being a category. This is useful if this library
|
||
is later extended to talk about higher categories.
|
||
|
||
\section{Products}
|
||
\label{sec:products}
|
||
In the following a technique for using categories to prove properties will be
|
||
demonstrated. The goal in this section is to show that products are
|
||
propositions:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\prod_{\bC \tp \Category} \prod_{A\;B \tp \Object} \isProp\ (\var{Product}\ \bC\ A\ B)
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
Where $\var{Product}\ \bC\ A\ B$ denotes the type of products of objects $A$
|
||
and $B$ in the category $\bC$. I do this by constructing a category whose
|
||
terminal objects are equivalent to products in $\bC$, and since terminal objects
|
||
are propositional in a proper category and equivalences preserve homotopy level,
|
||
then we know that products also are propositions. But before we get to that,
|
||
we recall the definition of products.
|
||
|
||
\subsection{Definition of products}
|
||
Given a category $\bC$ and two objects $A$ and $B$ in $\bC$ we define the
|
||
product (object) of $A$ and $B$ to be an object $A \x B$ in $\bC$ and two arrows
|
||
$\pi_1 \tp A \x B \to A$ and $\pi_2 \tp A \x B \to B$ called the projections of
|
||
the product. The projections must satisfy the following property:
|
||
|
||
For all $X \tp Object$, $f \tp \Arrow\ X\ A$ and $g \tp \Arrow\ X\ B$ we have
|
||
that there exists a unique arrow $\pi \tp \Arrow\ X\ (A \x B)$ satisfying
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:umpProduct}
|
||
%% \prod_{X \tp Object} \prod_{f \tp \Arrow\ X\ A} \prod_{g \tp \Arrow\ X\ B}\\
|
||
%% \uexists_{f \x g \tp \Arrow\ X\ (A \x B)}
|
||
\pi_1 \lll \pi \equiv f \x \pi_2 \lll \pi \equiv g
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
$\pi$ is called the product (arrow) of $f$ and $g$.
|
||
|
||
\subsection{Pair category}
|
||
|
||
\newcommand\pairA{\mathcal{A}}
|
||
\newcommand\pairB{\mathcal{B}}
|
||
Given a base category $\bC$ and two objects in this category $\pairA$ and
|
||
$\pairB$ we can construct the ``pair category'': \TODO{This is a working title,
|
||
it is nice to have a name for this thing to refer back to}
|
||
|
||
The type of objects in this category will be an object in the underlying
|
||
category, $X$, and two arrows (also from the underlying category)
|
||
$\Arrow\ X\ \pairA$ and $\Arrow\ X\ \pairB$.
|
||
|
||
\newcommand\pairf{\ensuremath{f}}
|
||
\newcommand\pairFst{\mathcal{\pi_1}}
|
||
\newcommand\pairSnd{\mathcal{\pi_2}}
|
||
|
||
An arrow between objects $A ,\ a_0 ,\ a_1$ and $B ,\ b_0 ,\ b_1$ in this
|
||
category will consist of an arrow from the underlying category $\pairf \tp
|
||
\Arrow\ A\ B$ satisfying:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:pairArrowLaw}
|
||
b_0 \lll f \equiv a_0 \x
|
||
b_1 \lll f \equiv a_1
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
|
||
The identity morphism is the identity morphism from the underlying category.
|
||
This choice satisfies \ref{eq:pairArrowLaw} because of the right-identity law
|
||
from the underlying category.
|
||
|
||
For composition of arrows $f \tp \Arrow\ A\ B$ and $g \tp \Arrow\ B\ C$ we
|
||
choose $g \lll f$ and we must now verify that it satisfies
|
||
\ref{eq:pairArrowLaw}:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
c_0 \lll (f \lll g)
|
||
& \equiv
|
||
(c_0 \lll f) \lll g
|
||
&& \text{Associativity} \\
|
||
& \equiv
|
||
b_0 \lll g
|
||
&& \text{$f$ satisfies \ref{eq:pairArrowLaw}} \\
|
||
& \equiv
|
||
a_0
|
||
&& \text{$g$ satisfies \ref{eq:pairArrowLaw}} \\
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
Now we must verify the category-laws. For all the laws we will follow the
|
||
pattern of using the law from the underlying category, and that the type of
|
||
arrows form a set. For instance, to prove associativity we must prove that
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:productAssoc}
|
||
\overline{h} \lll (\overline{g} \lll \overline{f})
|
||
\equiv
|
||
(\overline{h} \lll \overline{g}) \lll \overline{f}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Here $\lll$ refers to the `embellished' composition and $\overline{f}$,
|
||
$\overline{g}$ and $\overline{h}$ are triples consisting of arrows from the
|
||
underlying category ($f$, $g$ and $h$) and a pair of witnesses to
|
||
\ref{eq:pairArrowLaw}.
|
||
%% Luckily those winesses are paths in the hom-set of the
|
||
%% underlying category which is a set, so these are mere propositions.
|
||
The proof obligations is consists of two things. The first one is:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:productAssocUnderlying}
|
||
h \lll (g \lll f)
|
||
\equiv
|
||
(h \lll g) \lll f
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
And the other proof obligation is that the witness to \ref{eq:pairArrowLaw} for
|
||
the left-hand-side and the right-hand-side are the same.
|
||
|
||
The proof of the first goal comes directly from the underlying category. The
|
||
type of the second goal is very complicated. I will not write it out in full
|
||
here, but it suffices to show the type of the path-space. Note that the arrows
|
||
in \ref{eq:productAssoc} are arrows from $\mathcal{A} = (A , a_{\pairA} ,
|
||
a_{\pairB})$ to $\mathcal{D} = (D , d_{\pairA} , d_{\pairB})$ where
|
||
$a_{\pairA}$, $a_{\pairB}$, $d_{\pairA}$ and $d_{\pairB}$ are arrows in the
|
||
underlying category. Given that $p$ is the chosen proof of
|
||
\ref{eq:productAssocUnderlying} we then have that the witness to
|
||
\ref{eq:pairArrowLaw} vary over the type:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:productPath}
|
||
λ\ i → d_{\pairA} \lll p\ i ≡ 2 a_{\pairA} × d_{\pairB} \lll p\ i ≡ a_{\pairB}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
And these paths are in the type of the hom-set of the underlying category, so
|
||
they are mere propositions. We cannot apply the fact that arrows in $\bC$ are
|
||
sets directly, however, since $\isSet$ only talks about non-dependent paths, in
|
||
stead we generalize \ref{eq:productPath} to:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:productEqPrinc}
|
||
\prod_{f \tp \Arrow\ X\ Y} \isProp\ \left( y_{\pairA} \lll f ≡ x_{\pairA} × y_{\pairB} \lll f ≡ x_{\pairB} \right)
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
For all objects $X , x_{\pairA} , x_{\pairB}$ and $Y , y_{\pairA} , y_{\pairB}$,
|
||
but this follows from pairs preserving homotopical structure and arrows in the
|
||
underlying category being sets. This gives us an equality principle for arrows
|
||
in this category that says that to prove two arrows $f, f_0, f_1$ and $g, g_0,
|
||
g_1$ equal it suffices to give a proof that $f$ and $g$ are equal.
|
||
%% %
|
||
%% $$
|
||
%% \prod_{(f, f_0, f_1)\; (g,g_0,g_1) \tp \Arrow\ X\ Y} f \equiv g \to (f, f_0, f_1) \equiv (g,g_0,g_1)
|
||
%% $$
|
||
%% %
|
||
And thus we have proven \ref{eq:productAssoc} simply with
|
||
\ref{eq:productAssocUnderlying}.
|
||
|
||
Now we must prove that arrows form a set:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\isSet\ (\Arrow\ \mathcal{X}\ \mathcal{Y})
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
Since pairs preserve homotopical structure this reduces to:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\isSet\ (\Arrow_{\bC}\ X\ Y)
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
Which holds. And
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\prod_{f \tp \Arrow\ X\ Y}
|
||
\isSet\ \left( y_{\pairA} \lll f ≡ x_{\pairA}
|
||
× y_{\pairB} \lll f ≡ x_{\pairB}
|
||
\right)
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
This we get from \ref{eq:productEqPrinc} and the fact that homotopical structure
|
||
is cumulative.
|
||
|
||
This finishes the proof that this is a valid pre-category.
|
||
|
||
\subsubsection{Univalence}
|
||
To prove that this is a proper category it must be shown that it is univalent.
|
||
That is, for any two objects $\mathcal{X} = (X, x_{\mathcal{A}} , x_{\mathcal{B}})$
|
||
and $\mathcal{Y} = Y, y_{\mathcal{A}}, y_{\mathcal{B}}$ I will show:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
(\mathcal{X} \equiv \mathcal{Y}) \cong (\mathcal{X} \approxeq \mathcal{Y})
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
|
||
I do this by showing that the following sequence of types are isomorphic.
|
||
|
||
The first type is:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:univ-0}
|
||
(X , x_{\mathcal{A}} , x_{\mathcal{B}}) ≡ (Y , y_{\mathcal{A}} , y_{\mathcal{B}})
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
The next types will be the triple:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:univ-1}
|
||
\begin{split}
|
||
p \tp & X \equiv Y \\
|
||
& \Path\ (λ i → \Arrow\ (p\ i)\ \mathcal{A})\ x_{\mathcal{A}}\ y_{\mathcal{A}} \\
|
||
& \Path\ (λ i → \Arrow\ (p\ i)\ \mathcal{B})\ x_{\mathcal{B}}\ y_{\mathcal{B}}
|
||
\end{split}
|
||
%% \end{split}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
|
||
The next type is very similar, but in stead of a path we will have an
|
||
isomorphism, and create a path from this:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:univ-2}
|
||
\begin{split}
|
||
\var{iso} \tp & X \cong Y \\
|
||
& \Path\ (λ i → \Arrow\ (\widetilde{p}\ i)\ \mathcal{A})\ x_{\mathcal{A}}\ y_{\mathcal{A}} \\
|
||
& \Path\ (λ i → \Arrow\ (\widetilde{p}\ i)\ \mathcal{B})\ x_{\mathcal{B}}\ y_{\mathcal{B}}
|
||
\end{split}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Where $\widetilde{p} \defeq \isoToId\ \var{iso} \tp X \equiv Y$.
|
||
|
||
Finally we have the type:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:univ-3}
|
||
(X , x_{\mathcal{A}} , x_{\mathcal{B}}) ≊ (Y , y_{\mathcal{A}} , y_{\mathcal{B}})
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
|
||
\emph{Proposition} \ref{eq:univ-0} is isomorphic to \ref{eq:univ-1}: This is
|
||
just an application of the fact that a path between two pairs $a_0, a_1$ and
|
||
$b_0, b_1$ corresponds to a pair of paths between $a_0,b_0$ and $a_1,b_1$ (check
|
||
the implementation for the details).
|
||
|
||
\emph{Proposition} \ref{eq:univ-1} is isomorphic to \ref{eq:univ-2}:
|
||
\TODO{Super complicated}
|
||
|
||
\emph{Proposition} \ref{eq:univ-2} is isomorphic to \ref{eq:univ-3}: For this I
|
||
will show two corollaries of \ref{eq:coeCod}: For an isomorphism $(\iota,
|
||
\inv{\iota}, \var{inv}) \tp A \cong B$, arrows $f \tp \Arrow\ A\ X$, $g \tp
|
||
\Arrow\ B\ X$ and a heterogeneous path between them, $q \tp \Path\ (\lambda i
|
||
\to p_{\var{dom}}\ i)\ f\ g$, where $p_{\var{dom}} \tp \Arrow\ A\ X \equiv
|
||
\Arrow\ B\ X$ is a path induced by $\var{iso}$, we have the following two
|
||
results
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:domain-twist-0}
|
||
f & \equiv g \lll \iota \\
|
||
\label{eq:domain-twist-1}
|
||
g & \equiv f \lll \inv{\iota}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Proof: \TODO{\ldots}
|
||
|
||
Now we can prove the equivalence in the following way: Given $(f, \inv{f},
|
||
\var{inv}_f) \tp X \cong Y$ and two heterogeneous paths
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
p_{\mathcal{A}} & \tp \Path\ (\lambda i \to p_{\var{dom}}\ i)\ x_{\mathcal{A}}\ y_{\mathcal{A}}\\
|
||
%
|
||
q_{\mathcal{B}} & \tp \Path\ (\lambda i \to p_{\var{dom}}\ i)\ x_{\mathcal{B}}\ y_{\mathcal{B}}
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
all as in \ref{eq:univ-2}. I use $p_{\var{dom}}$ here again to mean the path
|
||
induced by the isomorphism $f, \inv{f}$. I must now construct an isomorphism
|
||
$(X, x_{\mathcal{A}}, x_{\mathcal{B}}) \approxeq (Y, y_{\mathcal{A}}, y_{\mathcal{B}})$
|
||
as in \ref{eq:univ-3}. That is, an isomorphism in the present category. I remind
|
||
the reader that such a gadget is a triple. The first component shall be:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
f \tp \Arrow\ X\ Y
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
To show that this choice fits the bill I must now verify that it satisfies
|
||
\ref{eq:pairArrowLaw}, which in this case becomes:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
y_{\mathcal{A}} \lll f ≡ x_{\mathcal{A}} × y_{\mathcal{B}} \lll f ≡ x_{\mathcal{B}}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Which, since $f$ is an isomorphism and $p_{\mathcal{A}}$ (resp. $p_{\mathcal{B}}$)
|
||
is a path varying according to a path constructed from this isomorphism, this is
|
||
exactly what \ref{eq:domain-twist-0} gives us.
|
||
%
|
||
The other direction is quite analogous. We choose $\inv{f}$ as the morphism and
|
||
prove that it satisfies \ref{eq:pairArrowLaw} with \ref{eq:domain-twist-1}.
|
||
|
||
We must now show that this choice of arrows indeed form an isomorphism. Our
|
||
equality principle for arrows in this category (\ref{eq:productEqPrinc}) gives
|
||
us that it suffices to show that $f$ and $\inv{f}$, this is exactly
|
||
$\var{inv}_f$.
|
||
|
||
This concludes the first direction of the isomorphism that we are constructing.
|
||
For the other direction we are given the isomorphism:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
(f, \inv{f}, \var{inv}_f)
|
||
\tp
|
||
(X, x_{\mathcal{A}}, x_{\mathcal{B}}) \approxeq (Y, y_{\mathcal{A}}, y_{\mathcal{B}})
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
Projecting out the first component gives us the isomorphism
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
(\fst\ f, \fst\ \inv{f}, \congruence\ \fst\ \var{inv}_f, \congruence\ \fst\ \var{inv}_{\inv{f}})
|
||
\tp X \approxeq Y
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
This gives rise to the following paths:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\begin{split}
|
||
\widetilde{p} & \tp X \equiv Y \\
|
||
\widetilde{p}_{\mathcal{A}} & \tp \Arrow\ X\ \mathcal{A} \equiv \Arrow\ Y\ \mathcal{A} \\
|
||
\widetilde{p}_{\mathcal{B}} & \tp \Arrow\ X\ \mathcal{B} \equiv \Arrow\ Y\ \mathcal{B}
|
||
\end{split}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
It then remains to construct the two paths:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\begin{split}
|
||
\label{eq:product-paths}
|
||
& \Path\ (λ i → \widetilde{p}_{\mathcal{A}}\ i)\ x_{\mathcal{A}}\ y_{\mathcal{A}}\\
|
||
& \Path\ (λ i → \widetilde{p}_{\mathcal{B}}\ i)\ x_{\mathcal{B}}\ y_{\mathcal{B}}
|
||
\end{split}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
This is achieved with the following lemma:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\prod_{a \tp A} \prod_{b \tp B} \prod_{q \tp A \equiv B} \var{coe}\ q\ a ≡ b →
|
||
\Path\ (λ i → q\ i)\ a\ b
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Which is used without proof. See the implementation for the details.
|
||
|
||
\ref{eq:product-paths} is the proven with the propositions:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\begin{split}
|
||
\label{eq:product-paths}
|
||
\var{coe}\ \widetilde{p}_{\mathcal{A}}\ x_{\mathcal{A}} ≡ y_{\mathcal{A}}\\
|
||
\var{coe}\ \widetilde{p}_{\mathcal{B}}\ x_{\mathcal{B}} ≡ y_{\mathcal{B}}
|
||
\end{split}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
The proof of the first one is:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align*}
|
||
\var{coe}\ \widetilde{p}_{\mathcal{A}}\ x_{\mathcal{A}}
|
||
& ≡ x_{\mathcal{A}} \lll \fst\ \inv{f} && \text{$\var{coeDom}$ and the isomorphism $f, \inv{f}$} \\
|
||
& ≡ y_{\mathcal{A}} && \text{\ref{eq:pairArrowLaw} for $\inv{f}$}
|
||
\end{align*}
|
||
%
|
||
We have now constructed the maps between \ref{eq:univ-0} and \ref{eq:univ-1}. It
|
||
remains to show that they are inverses of each other. To cut a long story short,
|
||
the proof uses the fact that isomorphism-of is propositional and that arrows (in
|
||
both categories) are sets. The reader is referred to the implementation for the
|
||
gory details.
|
||
%
|
||
\subsection{Propositionality of products}
|
||
%
|
||
Now that we have constructed the ``pair category'' I will demonstrate how to use
|
||
this to prove that products are propositional. I will do this by showing that
|
||
terminal objects in this category are equivalent to products:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\var{Terminal} ≃ \var{Product}\ ℂ\ \mathcal{A}\ \mathcal{B}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
And as always we do this by constructing an isomorphism:
|
||
%
|
||
In the direction $\var{Terminal} → \var{Product}\ ℂ\ \mathcal{A}\ \mathcal{B}$
|
||
we are given a terminal object $X, x_𝒜, x_ℬ$. $X$ Will be the product-object and
|
||
$x_𝒜, x_ℬ$ will be the product arrows, so it just remains to verify that this is
|
||
indeed a product. That is, for an object $Y$ and two arrows $y_𝒜 \tp
|
||
\Arrow\ Y\ 𝒜$, $y_ℬ\ \Arrow\ Y\ ℬ$ we must find a unique arrow $f \tp
|
||
\Arrow\ Y\ X$ satisfying:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:pairCondRev}
|
||
\begin{split}
|
||
x_𝒜 \lll f & ≡ y_𝒜 \\
|
||
x_ℬ \lll f & ≡ y_ℬ
|
||
\end{split}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Since $X, x_𝒜, x_ℬ$ is a terminal object there is a \emph{unique} arrow from
|
||
this object to any other object, so also $Y, y_𝒜, y_ℬ$ in particular (which is
|
||
also an object in the pair category). The arrow we will play the role of $f$ and
|
||
it immediately satisfies \ref{eq:pairCondRev}. Any other arrow satisfying these
|
||
conditions will be equal since $f$ is unique.
|
||
|
||
For the other direction we are now given a product $X, x_𝒜, x_ℬ$. Again this
|
||
will be the terminal object. So now it remains that for any other object there
|
||
is a unique arrow from that object into $X, x_𝒜, x_ℬ$. Let $Y, y_𝒜, y_ℬ$ be
|
||
another object. As the arrow $\Arrow\ Y\ X$ we choose the product-arrow $y_𝒜 \x
|
||
y_ℬ$. Since this is a product-arrow it satisfies \ref{eq:pairCondRev}. Let us
|
||
name the witness to this $\phi_{y_𝒜 \x y_ℬ}$. So we have picked as our center of
|
||
contraction $y_𝒜 \x y_ℬ , \phi_{y_𝒜 \x y_ℬ}$ we must now show that it is
|
||
contractible. So let $f \tp \Arrow\ X\ Y$ and $\phi_f$ be given (here $\phi_f$
|
||
is the proof that $f$ satisfies \ref{eq:pairCondRev}). The proof will be a pair
|
||
of proofs:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{alignat}{3}
|
||
p \tp & \Path\ (\lambda i \to \Arrow\ X\ Y)\quad
|
||
&& f\quad && y_𝒜 \x y_ℬ \\
|
||
& \Path\ (\lambda i \to \Phi\ (p\ i))\quad
|
||
&& \phi_f\quad && \phi_{y_𝒜 \x y_ℬ}
|
||
\end{alignat}
|
||
%
|
||
Here $\Phi$ is given as:
|
||
$$
|
||
\prod_{f \tp \Arrow\ Y\ X}
|
||
x_𝒜 \lll f ≡ y_𝒜
|
||
× x_ℬ \lll f ≡ y_ℬ
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
$p$ follows from the universal property of $y_𝒜 \x y_ℬ$. For the latter we will
|
||
again use the same trick we did in \ref{eq:propAreInversesGen} and prove this
|
||
more general result:
|
||
%
|
||
$$
|
||
\prod_{f \tp \Arrow\ Y\ X} \isProp\ (
|
||
x_𝒜 \lll f ≡ y_𝒜
|
||
× x_ℬ \lll f ≡ y_ℬ
|
||
)
|
||
$$
|
||
%
|
||
Which follows from arrows being sets and pairs preserving such. Thus we can
|
||
close the final proof with an application of $\lemPropF$.
|
||
|
||
This concludes the proof $\var{Terminal} ≃
|
||
\var{Product}\ ℂ\ \mathcal{A}\ \mathcal{B}$ and since we have that equivalences
|
||
preserve homotopic levels along with \ref{eq:termProp} we get our final result.
|
||
That in any category:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\prod_{A\ B \tp \Object} \isProp\ (\var{Product}\ \bC\ A\ B)
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
\section{Monads}
|
||
\label{sec:monads}
|
||
In this section I present two formulations of monads. The two representations
|
||
are referred to as the monoidal- and Kleisli- representation respectively or
|
||
simply monoidal monads and Kleisli monads for short. We then show that the two
|
||
formulations are equivalent, which due to univalence gives us a path between the
|
||
two types.
|
||
|
||
Let a category $\bC$ be given. In the remainder of this sections all objects and
|
||
arrows will implicitly refer to objects and arrows in this category.
|
||
%
|
||
\subsection{Monoidal formulation}
|
||
The monoidal formulation of monads consists of the following data:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:monad-monoidal-data}
|
||
\begin{split}
|
||
\EndoR & \tp \Endo ℂ \\
|
||
\pure & \tp \NT{\EndoR^0}{\EndoR} \\
|
||
\join & \tp \NT{\EndoR^2}{\EndoR}
|
||
\end{split}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Here $\NTsym$ denotes natural transformations, the super-script in $\EndoR^2$
|
||
Denotes the composition of $\EndoR$ with itself. By the same token $\EndoR^0$ is
|
||
a curious way of denoting the identity functor. This notation has been chosen
|
||
for didactic purposes.
|
||
|
||
Denote the arrow-map of $\EndoR$ as $\fmap$, then this data must satisfy the
|
||
following laws:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:monad-monoidal-laws}
|
||
\begin{split}
|
||
\join \lll \fmap\ \join
|
||
& ≡ \join \lll \join\ \fmap \\
|
||
\join \lll \pure\ \fmap & ≡ \identity \\
|
||
\join \lll \fmap\ \pure & ≡ \identity
|
||
\end{split}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
The implicit arguments to the arrows above have been left out and the objects
|
||
they range over are universally quantified.
|
||
|
||
\subsection{Kleisli formulation}
|
||
%
|
||
The Kleisli-formulation consists of the following data:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:monad-kleisli-data}
|
||
\begin{split}
|
||
\EndoR & \tp \Object → \Object \\
|
||
\pure & \tp % \prod_{X \tp Object}
|
||
\Arrow\ X\ (\EndoR\ X) \\

\bind & \tp % \prod_{X\;Y \tp Object} → \Arrow\ X\ (\EndoR\ Y)
|
||
\Arrow\ (\EndoR\ X)\ (\EndoR\ Y)
|
||
\end{split}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
The objects $X$ and $Y$ are implicitly universally quantified.
|
||
|
||
It is interesting to note here that this formulation does not talk about natural
|
||
transformations or other such constructs from category theory. All we have here
|
||
is a regular maps on objects and a pair of arrows.
|
||
%
|
||
This data must satisfy:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\label{eq:monad-monoidal-laws}
|
||
\begin{split}
|
||
\bind\ \pure & ≡ \identity_{\EndoR\ X}
|
||
\\
|
||
% \prod_{f \tp \Arrow\ X\ (\EndoR\ Y)}
|
||
\pure \fish f & ≡ f
|
||
\\
|
||
% \prod_{\substack{g \tp \Arrow\ Y\ (\EndoR\ Z)\\f \tp \Arrow\ X\ (\EndoR\ Y)}}
|
||
(\bind\ f) \rrr (\bind\ g) & ≡ \bind\ (f \fish g)
|
||
\end{split}
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
Here likewise the arrows $f \tp \Arrow\ X\ (\EndoR\ Y)$ and $g \tp
|
||
\Arrow\ Y\ (\EndoR\ Z)$ are universally quantified (as well as the objects they
|
||
range over). $\fish$ is the Kleisli-arrow which is defined as $f \fish g \defeq
|
||
f \rrr (\bind\ g)$ . (\TODO{Better way to typeset $\fish$?})
|
||
|
||
\subsection{Equivalence of formulations}
|
||
%
|
||
In my implementation I proceed to show how the one formulation gives rise to
|
||
the other and vice-versa. For the present purpose I will briefly sketch some
|
||
parts of this construction:
|
||
|
||
The notation I have chosen here in the report
|
||
overloads e.g. $\pure$ to both refer to a natural transformation and an arrow.
|
||
This is of course not a coincidence as the arrow in the Kleisli formulation
|
||
shall correspond exactly to the map on arrows from the natural transformation
|
||
called $\pure$.
|
||
|
||
In the monoidal formulation we can define $\bind$:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\bind \defeq \join \lll \fmap\ f
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
And likewise in the Kleisli formulation we can define $\join$:
|
||
%
|
||
\begin{align}
|
||
\join \defeq \bind\ \identity
|
||
\end{align}
|
||
%
|
||
It now remains to show that we can prove the various laws given this choice. I
|
||
refer the reader to my implementation for the details.
