Hello,
I'm not entirely sure what is constituted here by the special year on univalent mathematics. The section doesn't do anything to explain what this program constitutes or why it should be interesting to a reader of the encyclopedia. If we wish to keep this as a separate section, we should develop it further so that this is clear. Otherwise, I think the relevant information (that is, an explanation of the discoveries made and perhaps a link to the book) should be merged into other sections of the text. I don't think it's necessary to provide a list of participants or reviews of the work, as this is very unusual for wiki entries on mathematics topics.
I'm happy to spearhead the fleshing out of this section so it makes sense to readers who aren't involved, assuming people can point me in the correct direction for source information. A brief bit of cursory search queries on the topic have returned me to either this entry or the IAS website, which suggests the existence of a weekly seminar and a few working groups but little else.

Is it appropriate for an article to become what is in effect an advert for a book, by showing the front cover of the book? If it is felt that a picture would make the article more attractive, an appropriate diagram would do just as well. --Brian Josephson (talk) 19:03, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply] A search has revealed that though Amazon keep quiet about this (maybe a Kindle version isn't available), the book is available free so in that sense the article is not commercial. There is very little indication of this in the article, though it turns out that ref. 27 takes you to the page from which the book can be downloaded. The article should give proper indication of its existence. --Brian Josephson (talk) 19:22, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This article has nothing in it that a non-specialist mathematician can understand. It needs at least a more broadly comprehensible introduction. What are main ideas of HoTT in non-specialized language? What is the purpose of HoTT? What is it used for? Zaslav (talk) 01:47, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
