Coherence for Monoidal Groupoids in HoTT

Abstract

We present a proof of coherence for monoidal groupoids in homotopy type theory. An important role in the formulation and in the proof of coherence is played by groupoids with a free monoidal structure; these can be represented by 1-truncated higher inductive types, with constructors freely generating their defining objects, natural isomorphisms and commutative diagrams. All results included in this paper have been formalised in the proof assistant Coq.
