Univalent Parametricity for Effective Transport

Univalent Parametricity

Univalent Parametricity for Effective Transport

The repository contains the companion code of the article "The Marriage of Univalence and Parametricity"

A previous version of this work has been published at ICFP'18 "Equivalences for Free: Univalent Parametricity for Effective Transport"

Structure

• ./theories contains the core development with type classes described in Section 5

• ./examples contains examples of the use of univalent parametricity

• ./translation contains the univalent parametricity translation (Fig 3) and associated proofs

Compilation

Hereafter, "the main development" denotes the directories theories/ and examples/.

You need Coq 8.13 to compile the main development. To compile the file in the translation/ directory, you need the hoqc compiler (the HoTT version of Coq provided by the HoTT Library -- available at https://github.com/HoTT/HoTT).

To compile the main development:

set $COQBIN to the path where coqc is (export COQBIN=/.../bin/), or have Coq 8.13 in your path. Then, in the / directory, run:

make

To compile translation/ run (requires hoqc):

hoqc translation/Translation.v

directory ./theories

This is the core development with type classes described in Section 5. The structure of the files follows more or less the structure of the paper.

• HoTT.v contains several definitions from the HoTT library; the point of this file is so that the main development is independent from hoqc.

Note that HoTT.v contains one admit (hprop_isequiv), which corresponds to a standard result in the HoTT library, but whose proof was too laborious to be added independently to this distribution.

• HoTT_axioms.v contains the definition of the univalence and functional extensionality axioms.

• UR.v contains the definition of the univalent logical relation using type classes.

• URTactics.v provides a bunch of tactics for automation of typeclass resolution

• FP.v contains the proof that constructors of Coq enjoy the fundamental property of the univalent logical relation.

• ADT.v contains tactics to automatize proofs that abstract data types are univalent.

• Record.v contains tactics to automatize proofs that record types are univalent.

• Transportable.v contains instances of the Transportable type class that allows for more computational rewriting.

directory ./examples

• Vector.v is a copy-paste from Coq's standard library with the only modification that it uses universe polymorphism.

• Examples.v presents examples, most of them in the paper.

• MoreInductive.v deals with more examples of inductive types.

directory ./translation

• Translation.v is a file showing the correctness of the univalent parametricity translation (Fig 3) using a deep embedding
