Properties

The action on homotopies of a constant map is constant

module _
  {l1 l2 l3 : Level}
  {A : UU l1} {B : A → UU l2} {C : UU l3}
  {f g : (x : A) → B x}
  where

  compute-action-htpy-function-const :
    (c : C) (H : f ~ g) →
    action-htpy-function (const ((x : A) → B x) c) H ＝ refl

A type is k+1-truncated if and only if all point inclusions are k-truncated maps
