Idea

Let f be a map of type A → B and let X be a type. The localization of X at f, or f-localization, is an f-local type Y together with a map η : X → Y with the property that every type that is f-local is also η-local.

Definition

The predicate of being a localization at a map

is-localization :
  {l1 l2 l3 l4 : Level} (l5 : Level)
  {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2} (f : A → B)
  (X : UU l3) (Y : UU l4) (η : X → Y) →
  UU (l1 ⊔ l2 ⊔ l3 ⊔ l4 ⊔ lsuc l5)
is-localization l5 f X Y η =
  ( is-local f Y) ×
  ( (Z : UU l5) → is-local f Z → is-local η Z)

module _
  {l1 l2 l3 l4 l5 : Level}
  {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2} {f : A → B}
  {X : UU l3} {Y : UU l4} {η : X → Y}
  (is-localization-Y : is-localization l5 f X Y η)
  where

  is-local-is-localization : is-local f Y
  is-local-is-localization = pr1 is-localization-Y

The type of localizations of a type with respect to a map

localization :
  {l1 l2 l3 : Level} (l4 l5 : Level)
  {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2} (f : A → B)
  (X : UU l3) → UU (l1 ⊔ l2 ⊔ l3 ⊔ lsuc l4 ⊔ lsuc l5)
localization l4 l5 f X =
  Σ (UU l4) (λ Y → Σ (X → Y) (is-localization l5 f X Y))

Properties

Localizations at a map are localizations at a subuniverse

module _
  {l1 l2 l3 l4 : Level}
  {A : UU l1} {B : UU l2} (f : A → B)
  (X : UU l3) (Y : UU l4) (η : X → Y)
  where

  is-subuniverse-localization-is-localization :
    is-localization l4 f X Y η →
    is-subuniverse-localization (is-local-Prop f) X Y
  pr1 (is-subuniverse-localization-is-localization is-localization-Y) =
    pr1 is-localization-Y
  pr1 (pr2 (is-subuniverse-localization-is-localization is-localization-Y)) = η
  pr2 (pr2 (is-subuniverse-localization-is-localization is-localization-Y))
    Z is-local-Z =
      pr2 is-localization-Y Z is-local-Z

It remains to construct a converse.
