The major novelties with respect to previous type theories are the association of types with $\infty$ -groupoids, Voevodsky’s univalence axiom, and higher-order inductive types. Higher- order inductive types allow certain objects to be defined, such as a circle or a torus, in a synthetic way. The first chapters of this work offer an introduction to homotopy type theory, focusing especially on understanding higher-order inductive types. Due to the short time elapsed since the advent of homotopy type theory, there are many open questions waiting to be answered. This work sets out a research direction motivated by one of these questions: how to find an appropriate definition of orientability which is meaningful for surfaces or, more generally, for manifolds. From the existing definition of a torus as a higher-order inductive type, we have studied an analogous definition of a Klein bottle, focusing on the fact that a torus is a two-sheeted covering of a Klein bottle. This work contains basic facts about coverings in homotopy type theory, as well as a few results that are relevant in the special case of the torus and the Klein bottle.56 p.application/pdfcatcc-by-nc-nd (c) David Martínez Carpena, 2020http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Teoria de l'homotopiaTreballs de fi de grauTor (Geometria)Àlgebra homològicaLògica informàticaHomotopy theoryBachelor's thesesTorus (Geometry)Homological algebraComputer logicinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
