Abstract: We investigate the prospects for impredicative encodings of inductive types (including higher inductive types) in HoTT. It is well-known that encoding inductives using higher-order quantification provides a potential theoretical and practical simplification of the system. Using the further resources available in HoTT allows for a sharpening of the familiar System F style impredicative encodings of inductive types, but this begs the question of whether impredicativity is formally compatible with univalence. We give a realizability model using a combination of topos-theoretic, homotopical, and recent cubical methods. Joint work with Jonas Frey and Pieter Hofstra.
