(Pointed) Univalence in Universe Category Models of Type Theory

Published: December 18, 2025 | arXiv ID: 2512.16697v1

By: Chris Kapulkin, Yufeng Li

We provide a formulation of the univalence axiom in a universe category model of dependent type theory that is convenient to verify in homotopy-theoretic settings. We further develop a strengthening of the univalence axiom, called pointed univalence, that is both computationally desirable and semantically natural, and verify its closure under Artin-Wraith gluing and formation of inverse diagrams.
