Marco Maggesi (Sep 15 2021 at 16:20):We are pleased to announce the
School on Univalent Mathematics 2022,
to be held at the Palazzone di Cortona
(https://www.sns.it/en/palazzone-di-cortona),
Cortona, Italy, July 17-23, 2022
(https://unimath.github.io/cortona2022/)
Overview
========
Homotopy Type Theory is an emerging field of mathematics that studies a fruitful relationship between homotopy theory and (dependent) type theory. This relation plays a crucial role in Voevodsky's program of Univalent Foundations, a new approach to foundations of mathematics based on ideas from homotopy theory, such as the Univalence Principle.
The UniMath library is a large repository of computer-checked mathematics, developed from the univalent viewpoint. It is based on the computer proof assistant Coq.
In this school, we aim to introduce newcomers to the ideas of Univalent Foundations and mathematics therein, and to the formalization of mathematics in UniMath (https://github.com/UniMath/UniMath), a library of Univalent Mathematics based on the Coq proof assistant.
Format
=======
Participants will receive an introduction to Univalent Foundations and to mathematics in those foundations. In the accompanying problem sessions, they will formalize pieces of univalent mathematics in the UniMath library.
Prerequisites
==========
Participants should be interested in mathematics and the use of computers for mathematical reasoning. Participants do not need to have prior knowledge of logic, Coq, or Univalent Foundations.
Application and funding
=======================
For information on how to participate, please visit https://unimath.github.io/cortona2022.
Best regards,
The organizers Benedikt Ahrens and Marco Maggesi
John Baez (Sep 17 2021 at 21:01):This has some nice synergy with the conference Logic and Higher Structures, 21-25 February 2022 at CIRM in Marseille, which features mini-courses by by Egbert Rijke on univalent foundations and Emily Riehl on higher category theory.
