`Categorification' is the process of replacing equations by isomorphisms. We describe some of the ways a thoroughgoing emphasis on categorification can simplify and unify mathematics. We begin with elementary arithmetic, where the category…

We give category-theoretic reformulations of stability, NIP, NTP, and non-dividing by observing that their characterisations in terms of indiscernible sequences are naturally expressed as Quillen lifting properties %(negation) of certain…

We describe two ways to define higher order Toda brackets in a pointed simplicial model category $\mathcal{D}$: one is a recursive definition using model categorical constructions, and the second uses the associated simplicial enrichment.…

In previous work, we showed that there are appropriate model category structures on the category of simplicial categories and on the category of Segal precategories, and that they are Quillen equivalent to one another and to Rezk's complete…

We generalize the concepts of locally presentable and accessible categories. Our framework includes such categories as small presheaves over large categories and ind-categories. This generalization is intended for applications in the…

This is the first draft of a book about higher categories approached by iterating Segal's method, as in Tamsamani's definition of $n$-nerve and Pelissier's thesis. If $M$ is a tractable left proper cartesian model category, we construct a…

The homotopy theory of higher categorical structures has become a relevant part of the machinery of algebraic topology and algebraic K-theory, and this paper contains contributions to the study of the relationship between B\'enabou's…

We define the notion of {\em classifying space} of a topological stack and show that every topological stack \X has a classifying space X which is a topological space well-defined up to weak homotopy equivalence. Under a certain…

We develop the theory of limits and colimits in $\infty$-categories within the synthetic framework of simplicial Homotopy Type Theory developed by Riehl and Shulman. We also show that in this setting, the limit of a family of spaces can be…

In this note we provide a characterization, in terms of additional algebraic structure, of those intervals (certain cocategory objects) in a symmetric monoidal closed category E that are representable in the sense of inducing on E the…

We use the terms "$\infty$-categories" and "$\infty$-functors" to mean the objects and morphisms in an "$\infty$-cosmos." Quasi-categories, Segal categories, complete Segal spaces, naturally marked simplicial sets, iterated complete Segal…

Given any pointed CW complex (X,x), it is well known that the fondamental group of X pointed at x is naturally isomorphic to the automorphism group of the functor which associates to a locally constant sheaf on X its fibre at x. The purpose…

We describe two types of localization for $(\infty, 1)$-categories which determine the successive terms in the homotopy spectral sequence of a (co)simplicial object.

Among plenty of applications, low-dimensional homogeneous spaces appear in cosmological models as both, classical factor spaces of multidimensional geometry and minisuperspaces in canonical quantization. Here a new tool to restrict their…

This article is a sequel to hep-th/9411050, q-alg/9412017. In Chapter 1 we associate with every Cartan matrix of finite type and a non-zero complex number $\zeta$ an abelian artinian category $\FS$. We call its objects {\em finite…

We prove a rectification theorem for enriched infinity-categories: If V is a nice monoidal model category, we show that the homotopy theory of infinity-categories enriched in V is equivalent to the familiar homotopy theory of categories…

We define a notion of a connectivity structure on an $\infty$-category, analogous to a $t$-structure but applicable in unstable contexts -- such as spaces, or algebras over an operad. This allows us to generalize notions of n-skeleta,…

We extend Thomason's homotopy colimit construction in the category of permutative categories to categories of algebras over an arbitrary $\Cat$ operad and analyze its properties. We then use this homotopy colimit to prove that the…

We construct a model structure on the category of ordered simplicial complexes, Quillen equivalent to the standard model structure on simplicial sets. This shows that simplicial complexes, which are fully combinatorial in nature, provide a…

This is the second in a series math.AG/0312190, math.AG/0410267, math.AG/0410268 on configurations in an abelian category A. Given a finite partially ordered set (I,<), an (I,<)-configuration (\sigma,\iota,\pi) is a finite collection of…
