Non-univalent Universes
Homotopy type theory is famous for its univalence axiom on the family of all types. To give a perspective on this condition, I will talk about non-univalent families of objects! As it happens, they are quite ubiquitous, more than univalent ones (natural numbers, ordinals, cardinals, Zermelo-Frenkel trees, real numbers, grassmannians...) I will explain how they are always connected to a univalent family and the problems to move from one to the other.
