Types are weak ω-groupoids

Benno van den Berg and Richard Garner

We define a notion of weak ω-category internal to a model of Martin-Löf type theory, and prove that each type bears a canonical weak omega-category structure obtained from the tower of iterated identity types over that type. We show that the ω-categories arising in this way are in fact ω-groupoids.
