Inductive type constructors with the defined type appearing in non-strictly positive position
See the section Positivity, strict and otherwise of Counterexamples in Type Systems by Stephen Dolan. It explains the issues with non-strict positivity, it considers your example, and provides further …

Examples of mathematical theories that are naturally written in exotic logics
There is no end to "exotic logics" in computer science, and they express very natural things, such as behavior of programs, communication systems, security protocols, etc. To give just one example, Ho …

Does there exist a geometric morphism between the effective and topological topoi? Does one ...
There is no geometric morphism $f : E \to F$ if $E$ is a realizaiblity topos and $F$ is a Grothendieck topos. Indeed, if we had such an $f$, then for any indexing set $I$, the topos $E$ would have the …

Hilbert's and Gödel's expanded definition of "Recursive Function"
In Recursive predicates and quantifiers (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 53 (1943), 41-73) Kleene gives a description of general recursive functions acording to Herbrand and Gödel, as understood before the pa …

Proof of Lindenbaum lemma without deduction theorem
You need classical logic for this. Presumably the following rules for negation are valid in your logic:
Elimination rule: if $\Delta \vdash \psi$ and $\Delta \vdash \neg\psi$ then $\Delta \vdash \bot …

What's the earliest result (outside of logic) that cannot be proven constructively?
According to Wikipedia, in 5th century BCE, Bryson of Heraclea spoke of a special case of the intermediate value theorem. If we're very generous, that would be an early occurrence of a constructively …

Is univalence equivalent to every type function being a functor over equivalence?
Your axiom does not entail univalence.
It is consistent to add to type theory the isomorphism reflection rule
$$\frac{\Gamma \vdash e : A \simeq B}{\Gamma \vdash A \equiv B}$$
which states that equiva …

How much choice is needed to prove the completeness of equational logic?
I do not know what proofs precisely you have in mind, but at least for operations with finite arities no choice is needed, nor excluded middle for that matter. Let us review the proof to make sure thi …

When can a function defined on $[a, b] \cup [b, c]$ be constructively extended to a function...
I am going to work Bishop-style (in particular I am giving myself countable choice, we can try to get rid of it later).
Observe that the Cauchy completion of $[a,b] \cup [b,c]$ is $[a,c]$. For this to …

Church–Turing thesis for higher order functions
The answer to the question you ask can be found in John Longley's paper On the ubiquity of certain total type structures (PDF available here). Briefly, one can define the higher-type functionals by $N …

How exactly are realizability and the Curry-Howard correspondence related?
I am sure more than one exact correspondence can be made, but here's at least one that is technically precise. We shall employ categorical logic.
Executive summary: realizability is the interpretatio …

Is Bauer–Hanson’s result “there is a topos where the Dedekind reals are countable” novel?
[Update 2024-04-15: The preprint The countable reals is now available.]
Please allow me to list some basic observations that might clear up things. I work constructively (without excluded middle) and …

Topos semantics of constructive higher order logic
Categorical logic texts such as Lambek & Scott's "Introduction to higher-order categorical logic" and Johstone's "Elephant" usually focus on the categorical side of things and are often a bit cavalier …

What can be preserved in mathematics if all constructions are carried out in ZF?
Timothy Chow gave a fine answer in the context of classical mathematics. Here are some further sources for you to ponder. These not only work without choice, but also without excluded middle:

What is the canonical way to extend Peano's axioms to the set of all integers?
The free unital ring over the unital semiring $(\mathbb{N}, 0, 1, {+}, {\times})$, or in layperson's terms “just add subtraction”.
