Formalization of the paper "Central H-spaces and banded types"

Central types (work in progress)

This repository contains work in progress on formalizing results from the paper Central H-spaces and banded types by Ulrik Buchholtz, Dan Christensen, Jarl G. Taxerås Flaten, and Egbert Rijke.

Some results from that paper, mostly related to H-spaces (e.g., Proposition 2.2, Proposition 2.19, Corollary 2.20 and Theorem 2.27), have been merged into the Coq-HoTT library under the Homotopy.HSpace namespace. The notable results in this repository are:

• Most of Proposition 3.6: The characterization of central types (search for "3.6" in Central.v)
• Example 3.8: Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces are central (see central_em in EMSpace.v)
• Theorem 4.6: BAut1 A is the unique delooping of a central type A (see unique_delooping_central in Central.v)
• Theorem 4.19: BAut1 A is a coherent H-space whenever A is central (see hspace_twisted_baut and iscoherent_hspace_twisted_baut1 in BAut1.v)
• Part of Corollary 4.20: BAut1 A is central whenever A is central (see central_pbaut in Central.v)

The current version from Jan 21, 2024 has been tested with Coq 8.18.0 against commit ce3af423 of Coq-HoTT from Jan 21, 2024.

Version 0fde1817 from Dec 29, 2023 has been tested with Coq 8.18.0 against commit 6ad532f7 of Coq-HoTT from Dec 29, 2023. The first two results in the list above were added to this repo before this.

Version 1b44982f from Oct 17, 2023 has been tested with Coq 8.18.0 against commit 687e370c of Coq-HoTT from Oct 17, 2023. Some things that were formerly in this repository have been merged into Coq-HoTT.

Version 1d6503fe from May 15, 2023 has been tested with Coq 8.16.1 and Coq 8.17.0 against commit 832aef3e of Coq-HoTT from May 2, 2023.
