    Discussing “A modality for recursion”

    The algorithm I use to choose reading for this blog, pulling the most cited papers out of my Google Scholar recommendations of new papers, sometimes pops out work close to my heart; quite a few years of my own research have been direct outshoots from this paper, following its adoption by Birkedal et al., and…

    Discussing “A Mechanization of the Blakers–Massey Connectivity Theorem in Homotopy Type Theory”

    I first became aware of this paper from a long and fascinating blog comment thread in which mathematicians argued about the utility, or lack thereof, of homotopy type theory for homotopy theorists. Urs Schreiber, arguing for team HoTT, held up this paper an exemplar of the value of the type theoretical approach, saying “it was…
