Abstract

We prove that every categorical model of dependent type theory with dependent sums and products, intensional identity types and univalent universes presents via its ∞-localisation an elementary ∞-topos, that is, a finitely complete, locally cartesian closed ∞-category with enough univalent universal morphisms. We also show that elementary ∞-toposes have small subobject classifiers and that the ∞-localisation admits finite colimits if the type theory has 0-types and pushout types. To achieve this, we extend Joyal's theory of tribes by introducing the notion of a univalent tribe and a univalent fibration in a tribe.
