Toward a cubical type theory univalent by definition

Abstract

Supervised by Hugo Herbelin.
Cubical Type Theory provides a computational meaning to Voevodsky’s univalence axiom. It uses an abstract interval to characterize equality types. Our goal here is to report on our progress trying to build a variant of this theory in which an equality between types is by definition an equivalence. Our approach is to use equality types computed by induction on types, inspired by parametricity.
