Globular Multicategories with Homomorphism Types

Abstract:
We introduce structures called globular multicategories with homomorphism types. We discuss how various collections of “higher category-like” objects can be used to to construct these globular multicategories. We show how to obtain a number of higher categorical structures using this data. We will see that in this setting there is a precise sense in which:
• types are higher categories,
• dependent types are profunctors,
• terms are higher functors,
• terms in a dependent context are higher transformations,
• there is a higher category of all types and terms.
