Homotopy Pushouts

We define pushouts in terms of coproducts and coequalizers.

Definition Pushout@{i j k l} {A : Type@{i}} {B : Type@{j}} {C : Type@{k}}
  (f : A B) (g : A C) : Type@{l}
  := Coeq@{l l _} (inl o f) (inr o g).

Definition push {A B C : Type} {f : A B} {g : A C}
 : B+C Pushout f g
  := @coeq _ _ (inl o f) (inr o g).

Definition pushl {A B C} {f : A B} {g : A C} (b : B)
  : Pushout f g := push (inl b).
Definition pushr {A B C} {f : A B} {g : A C} (c : C)
  : Pushout f g := push (inr c).

Definition pglue {A B C : Type} {f : A B} {g : A C} (a : A)
  : pushl (f a) = pushr (g a)
  := @cglue A (B+C) (inl o f) (inr o g) a.

Definition pushl' {A B C} (f : A B) (g : A C) (b : B) : Pushout f g := pushl b.
Definition pushr' {A B C} (f : A B) (g : A C) (c : C) : Pushout f g := pushr c.
Definition pglue' {A B C : Type} (f : A B) (g : A C) (a : A) : pushl (f a) = pushr (g a)
  := pglue a.

But we want to allow the user to forget that we've defined pushouts in terms of coequalizers.
Arguments Pushout : simpl never.
Arguments push : simpl never.
Arguments pglue : simpl never.
Arguments Pushout_ind_beta_pglue : simpl never.
However, we do allow Pushout_ind to simplify, as it computes on point constructors.

Descent

We study "equifibrant" type families over a span f : A B and g : A C. By univalence, the descent property tells us that these type families correspond to type families over the pushout, and we obtain an induction principle for such type families. Dependent descent data over some particular descent data are "equifibrant" type families over this descent data. The "equifibrancy" is only taken over the span f : A B and g : A C, but there is an extra level of dependency coming from the descent data. In this case, we obtain an induction and recursion principle, but only with a computation rule for the recursion principle.
The theory of descent is interesting to consider in itself. However, we will use it as a means to structure the code, and to obtain induction and recursion principles that are valuable in proving the flattening lemma, and characterizing path spaces. Thus we will gloss over the bigger picture, and not consider equivalences of descent data, nor homotopies of their sections. We will also not elaborate on uniqueness of the induced families.
It's possible to prove the results in the Descent, Flattening and Paths Sections without univalence, by replacing all equivalences with paths, but in practice these results will be used with equivalences as input, making the form below more convenient. See https://github.com/HoTT/Coq-HoTT/pull/2147issuecomment-2521570830 for further information.

The flattening lemma

We saw above that given descent data Pe over a span f : A B and g : A C, we obtained a type family fam_podescent Pe over the pushout. The flattening lemma describes the total space sig (fam_podescent Pe) of this type family as a pushout of sig (pod_faml Pe) and sig (pod_famr Pe) by a certain span. This follows from the work above, which shows that sig (fam_podescent Pe) has the same universal property as this pushout.

Section Flattening.

  Context `{Univalence} {A B C : Type} {f : A B} {g : A C} (Pe : poDescent f g).

We mimic the constructors of Pushout for the total space. Here are the point constructors, in curried form.
  Definition flatten_podl {b : B} (pb : pod_faml Pe b) : sig (fam_podescent Pe)
    := (pushl b; pb).

  Definition flatten_podr {c : C} (pc : pod_famr Pe c) : sig (fam_podescent Pe)
    := (pushr c; pc).

And here is the path constructor.
  Definition flatten_pod_glue (a : A)
    {pf : pod_faml Pe (f a)} {pg : pod_famr Pe (g a)} (pa : pod_e Pe a pf = pg)
    : flatten_podl pf = flatten_podr pg.

Now that we've shown that fam_podescent Pe acts like a Pushout of sig (pod_faml Pe) and sig (pod_famr Pe) by an appropriate span, we can use this to prove the flattening lemma. The maps back and forth are very easy so this could almost be a formal consequence of the induction principle.

Characterization of path spaces

A pointed type family over a pushout has an identity system structure precisely when its associated descent data satisfies Kraus and von Raumer's induction principle, https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.06022.

Section Paths.

Let f : A B and g : A C be a span, with a distinguished point b0 : B. We could let the distinguished point be in C, but this is symmetric by exchanging the roles of f and g. Let Pe : poDescent f g be descent data over f g with a distinguished point p0 : pod_faml Pe b0. Assume that any dependent descent data Qe : poDepDescent Pe with a distinguished point q0 : podd_faml Qe b0 p0 has a section that respects the distinguished points. This is the induction principle provided by Kraus and von Raumer.
  Context `{Univalence} {A B C : Type} {f : A B} {g : A C} (b0 : B)
    (Pe : poDescent f g) (p0 : pod_faml Pe b0)

      poDepDescentSection Qe)
    (based_podepdescent_ind_beta : (Qe : poDepDescent Pe) (q0 : podd_faml Qe b0 p0),
      podds_sectl (based_podepdescent_ind Qe q0) b0 p0 = q0).

Under these hypotheses, we get an identity system structure on fam_podescent Pe.
  Local Instance idsys_flatten_podescent

  Proof.

It follows that the fibers fam_podescent Pe x are equivalent to path spaces (pushl a0) = x.
