Trocq: Proof Transfer for Free, Beyond Equivalence and Univalence
By Cyril Cohen
In this talk I present Trocq, a proof transfer framework for dependent type theory. Trocq is based on a novel formulation of type equivalence, used to generalize the univalent parametricity translation. This framework takes care of avoiding dependency on the axiom of univalence when possible, and may be used with more relations than just equivalences. We have implemented a corresponding plugin for the Rocq interactive theorem prover, in the Rocq-Elpi meta-language.
This is a joint work with Enzo Crance and Assia Mahboubi.
