Craig Squier proved that, if a monoid can be presented by a finite convergent string rewriting system, then it satisfies the homological finiteness condition left-FP3. Using this result, he constructed finitely presentable monoids with a decidable word problem, but that cannot be presented by finite convergent rewriting systems. Later, he introduced the condition of finite derivation type, which is a homotopical finiteness property on the presentation complex associated to a monoid presentation. He showed that this condition is an invariant of finite presentations and he gave a constructive way to prove this finiteness property based on the computation of the critical branchings: being of finite derivation type is a necessary condition for a finitely presented monoid to admit a finite convergent presentation. This survey presents Squiers results in the contemporary language of polygraphs and higher-dimensional categories, with new proofs and relations between them.
We study convergent (terminating and confluent) presentations of n-categories. Using the notion of polygraph (or computad), we introduce the homotopical property of finite derivation type for n-categories, generalizing the one introduced by Squier fo
We present polygraphic programs, a subclass of Albert Burronis polygraphs, as a computational model, showing how these objects can be seen as first-order functional programs. We prove that the model is Turing complete. We use polygraphic interpretati
The notion of an internal preneighbourhood space on a finitely complete category with finite coproducts and a proper $(mathsf{E}, mathsf{M})$ system such that for each object $X$ the set of $mathsf{M}$-subobjects of $X$ is a complete lattice was init
This is an introduction to type theory, synthetic topology, and homotopy type theory from a category-theoretic and topological point of view, written as a chapter for the book New Spaces for Mathematics and Physics (ed. Gabriel Catren and Mathieu Anel).
Univalent homotopy type theory (HoTT) may be seen as a language for the category of $infty$-groupoids. It is being developed as a new foundation for mathematics and as an internal language for (elementary) higher toposes. We develop the theory of fac
