category theory

## Idea

One may consider internal categories in homotopy type theory. Under the interpretation of HoTT in an (infinity,1)-topos, this corresponds to the concept of a category object in an (infinity,1)-category. The general idea is presented there at Homotopy Type Theory Formulation.

For internal 1-categories in HoTT (as opposed to more general internal (infinity,1)-categories) a comprehensive discussion was given in (Ahrens-Kapulkin-Shulman-13).

In some literature, the “Rezk-completeness” condition on such categories is omitted from the definition, and categories that satisfy it are called saturated or univalent.
