[HoTT] 1-Types are groupoids

[HoTT] 1-Types are groupoids

Hi

I was wondering whether there exists a proof in literature that the type of 
1-truncated types is equivalent to the type of groupoids (defined as 
categories with only isomorphisms, for example).

I.e. a truncated version of the "types as infinity categories" viewpoint.

Thanks in advance,
Kristian Alfsvåg

I assume you mean a proof inside of type theory?  This is Exercise 9.6
in the book; I don't know offhand of anywhere that the proof is
written out.  You do need to assume the groupoids are
saturated/univalent ("groupoids" in the terminology of the book rather
than "pregroupoids").

Together with Dan Frumin I formally defined the biequivalence between 1-types and univalent groupoids. See
