Varieties of Cubical Sets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We define a variety of notions of cubical sets, based on sites organized using substructural algebraic theories presenting PRO(P)s or Lawvere theories. We prove that all our sites are test categories in the sense of Grothendieck, meaning that the corresponding presheaf categories of cubical sets model classical homotopy theory. We delineate exactly which ones are even strict test categories, meaning that products of cubical sets correspond to products of homotopy types.

Cubical sets and the topological topos
Coquand’s cubical set model for homotopy type theory provides the basis for a computational interpretation of the univalence axiom and some higher inductive types, as implemented in the cubical proof assistant. This paper contributes to the understanding of this model. We make three contributions: 1. Johnstone’s topological topos was created to present the geometric realization of simplicial se...
متن کاملDirected combinatorial homology and noncommutative geometry
We will present a brief study of the homology of cubical sets, with two main purposes. First, this combinatorial structure is viewed as representing directed spaces, breaking the intrinsic symmetries of topological spaces. Cubical sets have a directed homology, consisting of preordered abelian groups where the positive cone comes from the structural cubes. But cubical sets can also express topo...
متن کاملCubical Sets and Trace Monoid Actions
This paper is devoted to connections between trace monoids and cubical sets. We prove that the category of trace monoids is isomorphic to the category of generalized tori and it is a reflective subcategory of the category of cubical sets. Adjoint functors between the categories of cubical sets and trace monoid actions are constructed. These functors carry independence preserving morphisms in th...
متن کاملIdeas from Zariski topology in the study of cubical sets, cubical maps, and their homology
Cubical sets and their homology have been used in dynamical systems as well as in digital imaging. We take a refreshing view on this topic, following Zariski ideas from algebraic geometry. The cubical topology is defined to be a topology in R in which a set is closed if and only if it is cubical. This concept is a convenient frame for describing a variety of important features of cubical sets. ...
