Higgs' Involution Theorem. In any topos, if f : Ω → Ω is a
monomorphism, then it is an involution.

This is attributed to Denis Higgs in the literature.

We adapt and prove the result in univalent mathematics, using
propositional and functional extensionality. (We don't rely on
propositional resizing (or impredicativity).)

There is a proof by diagram chasing with iterated pullbacks, in page
65 of Johnstone's Sketches of an Elephant, volume 1.

The proof given here is based on an exercise in page 160 of Lambek and
Scott's Introduction to Higher-Order Categorical Logic, attributed to
Scedrov. Thanks to Phil Scott for bringing my attention to this proof
during a visit to Birmingham.

Added 23 Jan 2021. From a group structure on Ω we get excluded middle,
as an application of Higgs Involution Theorem. This doesn't seem to be
known in the topos theory community.

Added 24 Oct 2023. More about automorphisms of Ω.

We work with a universe 𝓤 and assume functional and propositional
extensionality:

\begin{code}

module UF.HiggsInvolutionTheorem
        {𝓤 : Universe}
        (fe : Fun-Ext)
        (pe : propext 𝓤)
       where

𝓤⁺ = 𝓤 

\end{code}

We work with Ω of universe 𝓤:

\begin{code}

 Ω  = Ω-of-universe 𝓤
 Ω⁺ = Ω-of-universe 𝓤⁺

\end{code}

Recall that a map f is left-cancellable if f p = f q → p = q, and
involutive if f (f p) = p.

Notice that the fact that the autoembeddings of Ω are equivalences
says that Ω is Dedekind finite.

Added 23 Jan 2021. From a group structure on Ω we get excluded middle,
as an application of Higgs Involution Theorem. This doesn't seem to be
known in the topos theory community. I've written a blog post about
this here:

https://homotopytypetheory.org/2021/01/23/can-the-type-of-truth-values-be-given-the-structure-of-a-group/

Such a group structure is necessarily abelian.

Moreover, any left-cancellable monoid structure (_⊕_ , O) on Ω is an
abelian group structure with p ⊕ p = O for all p : Ω, that is, such
that every element is its own inverse.

To define negation on Ω we need function extensionality, which we are
assuming in this module. We introduce friendlier notation for it:

\begin{code}

⇁_ : Ω  Ω
⇁_ = not fe

⇁⇁_ : Ω  Ω
⇁⇁ p = ( p)

This shows that any cancellative monoid structure on Ω is
automatically an abelian group structure (which is not very surprising
given that we have already established excluded middle, but justifies
our additive notation).

Added 24th October 2023. More about automorphisms of Ω.

From the existence of certain automorphisms of Ω, we conclude that
excluded middle holds.

Notice that we can replace "Σ" by "∃" in the above propositions, to
get the same conclusion EM 𝓤, because the type EM 𝓤 is a proposition.

Notice also that the converses of the above propositions hold.

Added 26 October 2023.

We show that there can't be any automorphism of Ω distinct from the
identity unless excluded middle holds.

The fact eval-at-⊤-is-lc stated and proved below, which is our main
lemma, is attributed to Denis Higgs in the literature [1] [2], without
any explicit citation I could find, with diagrammatic proofs in topos
theory rather than proofs in the internal language of a topos. Our
internal proofs don't necessarily follow the external diagrammatic
proofs.

From this we conclude that there can't be any automorphism of Ω
distinct from the identity unless excluded middle holds. I don't
think this has been observed before in the literature, but it may have
been observed in the folklore.

\begin{code}

Ω-automorphism-distinct-from-𝕚𝕕-gives-EM

\end{code}

It follows that the type Σ f ꞉ Aut Ω , f ≠ id is a proposition,
constructively. In boolean toposes it is a singleton, in non-boolean
toposes it is empty, and in all toposes it is a subsingleton.  This is
because from any hypothetical element (f , ν) of this type we conclude
that excluded middle holds, and hence Ω ≃ 𝟚, and therefore f is
negation. So this is a constructive proof in which we deduce excluded
middle as an intermediate step. And once we conclude that this type is
a proposition, we see that it is equivalent to the type EM 𝓤, which is
also a proposition, as these two propositions imply each other:

(Σ f ꞉ Aut Ω , f ≠ id) ≃ EM 𝓤

and hence they are equal if we further assume univalence.

The type Aut Ω is a group under composition, the symmetric group on Ω,
where the neutral element is the identity automorphism and the inverse
of any element is itself.  That is, Aut Ω is a boolean group, or a
group of order 2. We now show that the group structure on ℍ induced by
the above equivalence is given by logical equivalence _⇔_ with neutral
element ⊤.

TODO. Write the above proof purely equationally. In order to do this,
first formulate and prove the equational definition of Heyting algebra
in other modules. Or to begin with, for simplicity, just prove in
UF.Logic that Ω satisfies the equations that define a lattice to be a
Heyting algebra.
