Idea

Logical equivalences between two types A and B consist of a map A → B and a map B → A. The type of logical equivalences between types is the Curry–Howard interpretation of logical equivalences between propositions.

Definition

The structure on a map of being a logical equivalence

module _
  {l1 l2 : Level} {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2}
  where

  has-converse : (A → B) → UU (l1 ⊔ l2)
  has-converse f = B → A

  is-prop-has-converse :
    is-prop A → (f : A → B) → is-prop (has-converse f)
  is-prop-has-converse is-prop-A f = is-prop-function-type is-prop-A

has-converse-Prop :
  {l1 l2 : Level} (A : Prop l1) {B : UU l2} → (type-Prop A → B) → Prop (l1 ⊔ l2)
has-converse-Prop A f =
  ( has-converse f ,
    is-prop-has-converse (is-prop-type-Prop A) f)

Logical equivalences between types

module _

Logical equivalences between propositions

module _
  {l1 l2 : Level} (P : Prop l1) (Q : Prop l2)
  where

  type-iff-Prop : UU (l1 ⊔ l2)
  type-iff-Prop = type-Prop P ↔ type-Prop Q

  is-prop-iff-Prop : is-prop type-iff-Prop
  is-prop-iff-Prop =
    is-prop-product
      ( is-prop-function-type (is-prop-type-Prop Q))
      ( is-prop-function-type (is-prop-type-Prop P))

  iff-Prop : Prop (l1 ⊔ l2)
  pr1 iff-Prop = type-iff-Prop
  pr2 iff-Prop = is-prop-iff-Prop

  infix 6 _⇔_

  _⇔_ : Prop (l1 ⊔ l2)
  _⇔_ = iff-Prop

  {l1 l2 l3 : Level} {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2} {C : UU l3} →
  (B ↔ C) → (A ↔ B) → (A ↔ C)
pr1 ((g1 , g2) ∘iff (f1 , f2)) = g1 ∘ f1
pr2 ((g1 , g2) ∘iff (f1 , f2)) = f2 ∘ g2

Inverting a logical equivalence

inv-iff :
  {l1 l2 : Level} {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2} → (A ↔ B) → (B ↔ A)
pr1 (inv-iff (f , g)) = g
pr2 (inv-iff (f , g)) = f

  where

  htpy-iff : (f g : A ↔ B) → UU (l1 ⊔ l2)
  htpy-iff f g =
    ( forward-implication f ~ forward-implication g) ×
    ( backward-implication f ~ backward-implication g)

  eq-htpy-iff f g = map-inv-equiv (ext-iff f g)

Logical equivalences between propositions induce equivalences

module _
  {l1 l2 : Level} {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2}

Equivalences are logical equivalences

iff-equiv : {l1 l2 : Level} {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2} → (A ≃ B) → (A ↔ B)
pr1 (iff-equiv e) = map-equiv e
pr2 (iff-equiv e) = map-inv-equiv e

  ( associative-Σ (A → B) _ _) ∘e
  ( equiv-tot (λ e → equiv-pair-eq (iff-equiv e) (f , g)))

Two equal propositions are logically equivalent

iff-eq : {l1 : Level} {P Q : Prop l1} → P ＝ Q → type-Prop (P ⇔ Q)
pr1 (iff-eq refl) = id
pr2 (iff-eq refl) = id

Logical equivalence of propositions is equivalent to equivalence of propositions

equiv-equiv-iff :
  {l1 l2 : Level} (P : Prop l1) (Q : Prop l2) →
  (type-Prop P ↔ type-Prop Q) ≃ (type-Prop P ≃ type-Prop Q)
pr1 (equiv-equiv-iff P Q) = equiv-iff' P Q
pr2 (equiv-equiv-iff P Q) = is-equiv-equiv-iff P Q

Logical equivalences between dependent function types

module _
  {l1 l2 l3 : Level} {I : UU l1} {A : I → UU l2} {B : I → UU l3}
  where

  iff-Π-iff-family : ((i : I) → A i ↔ B i) → ((i : I) → A i) ↔ ((i : I) → B i)
  pr1 (iff-Π-iff-family e) a i = forward-implication (e i) (a i)
  pr2 (iff-Π-iff-family e) b i = backward-implication (e i) (b i)

Reasoning with logical equivalences

Logical equivalences can be constructed by equational reasoning in the following way:

logical-equivalence-reasoning
  X ↔ Y by equiv-1
    ↔ Z by equiv-2
    ↔ V by equiv-3

infixl 1 logical-equivalence-reasoning_
infixl 0 step-logical-equivalence-reasoning

logical-equivalence-reasoning_ :
  {l1 : Level} (X : UU l1) → X ↔ X
pr1 (logical-equivalence-reasoning X) = id
pr2 (logical-equivalence-reasoning X) = id

step-logical-equivalence-reasoning :
  {l1 l2 l3 : Level} {X : UU l1} {Y : UU l2} →
  (X ↔ Y) → (Z : UU l3) → (Y ↔ Z) → (X ↔ Z)
step-logical-equivalence-reasoning e Z f = f ∘iff e

syntax step-logical-equivalence-reasoning e Z f = e ↔ Z by f
