Disambiguation

In the dependent type theory literature, there are different kinds of types which are called heterogeneous identity types or dependent identity types:

indexed heterogeneous identity types are a variant of identity types for a type family and parameterized by a pair of elements and a identification between them; hence the name “indexed”

x:A, y:A, p:x =_A y, u:B(x), v:B(y) \vdash u =_{B}^{(x, y, p)} v

fibered heterogeneous identity types are a variant of identity types for a type family and parameterized by only a pair of elements. They are equivalent to the dependent sum of indexed heterogeneous identity types over all relevant identifications; hence the name “fibered”

x:A, y:A, u:B(x), v:B(y) \vdash u =_{B}^{(x, y)} v \simeq \sum_{p:x = y} u =_{B}^{(x, y, p)} v
