Homotopy Type Theory localization > history (Rev #6)

Idea

Localization is the process of inverting a specified class of maps.

Definition

Consider a family ∏ (a:A)B(a)→C(a)\prod_{(a:A)} B(a) \to C(a) of maps. We say that a type XX is FF-local if the function

λg.g∘F(a):(C(a)→X)→(B(a)→X)\lambda g . g \circ F(a) : (C(a) \to X) \to (B(a) \to X)

is an equivalence.
