Propositional equality. If a :~: b is inhabited by some terminating value, then the type a is the same as the type b. To use this equality in practice, pattern-match on the a :~: b to get out the Refl constructor; in the body of the pattern-match, the compiler knows that a ~ b.

class TestEquality (f :: k -> *) where #

This class contains types where you can learn the equality of two types from information contained in terms. Typically, only singleton types should inhabit this class.
