Normalization for Cubical Type Theory
share
We prove normalization for (univalent, Cartesian) cubical type theory, closing the last major open problem in the syntactic metatheory of cubical type theory. Our normalization result is reduction-free, in the sense of yielding a bijection between equivalence classes of terms in context and a tractable language of β/η-normal forms. As corollaries we obtain both decidability of judgmental equality and the injectivity of type constructors.
