Scott’s Representation Theorem and the Univalent Karoubi Envelope
Published in ITP 2025: 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving, 2025
We present a formalization of Scott’s Representation Theorem in univalent foundations. Specifically, we implement two proofs of that theorem, one by Scott and one by Hyland. We also explain the role of the Karoubi envelope – a categorical construction – in the proofs and the impact the chosen foundation has on this construction
