Abstract

In this note we show that Voevodsky’s univalence axiom holds in the model of type theory based on cubical sets as described in Bezem et al. (in: Matthes and Schubert (eds.) 19th international conference on types for proofs and programs (TYPES 2013), Leibniz international proceedings in informatics (LIPIcs), Schloss Dagstuhl-Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik, Dagstuhl, Germany, vol 26, pp 107–128, 2014. https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.TYPES.2013.107. http://drops.dagstuhl.de/opus/volltexte/2014/4628) and Huber (A model of type theory in cubical sets. Licentiate thesis, University of Gothenburg, 2015). We will also discuss Swan’s construction of the identity type in this variation of cubical sets. This proves that we have a model of type theory supporting dependent products, dependent sums, univalent universes, and identity types with the usual judgmental equality, and this model is formulated in a constructive metatheory.
