Constructivist and Structuralist Foundations: Bishop's and Lawvere's Theories of Sets
Erik Palmgren · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2012
Bishop's informal set theory is briefly discussed and compared to Lawvere's Elementary Theory of the Category of Sets (ETCS). We then present a constructive and predicative version of ETCS, whose standard model is based on the constructive type theory of Martin-Löf. The theory, CETCS, provides a structuralist foundation for constructive mathematics in the style of Bishop.
