These notes are meant to provide a rapid introduction to triangulated categories. We start with the definition of an additive category and end with a glimps of tilting theory. Some exercises are included.

The major improvement in this paper is that we can extend the functor $(-)^!$ of Grothendieck duality to the unbounded derived category of sufficiently nice algebraic stacks. The original motivation came from formulas discovered by Avramov…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be subcategories of tensor categories $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$, respectively, both of which are abelian categories with finitely many isomorphism classes of simple objects. We prove that if their…

Directed Algebraic Topology is beginning to emerge from various applications. The basic structure we shall use for such a theory, a 'd-space', is a topological space equipped with a family of 'directed paths', closed under some operations.…

Auslander's formula shows that any abelian category C is equivalent to the category of coherent functors on C modulo the Serre subcategory of all effaceable functors. We establish a derived version of this equivalence. This amounts to…

In 1997, Hofmann and Streicher introduced an explicit construction to lift a Grothendieck universe from the category of sets into the category of set-valued presheaves on a small category. More recently, Awodey presented an elegant…

We survey the basics of homological algebra in exact categories in the sense of Quillen. All diagram lemmas are proved directly from the axioms, notably the five lemma, the 3 x 3-lemma and the snake lemma. We briefly discuss exact functors,…

We instal homological algebra, including derived functors, on certain non-additive categories like categories of pointed CW-complexes, modules of monoids or sheaves thereof. We apply this theory to Monoid schemes and sheaves on them,…

Cluster categories were introduced in 2006 by Buan-Marsh-Reineke-Reiten-Todorov in order to categorify acyclic cluster algebras without coefficients. Their construction was generalized by Amiot (2009) and Plamondon (2011) to arbitrary…

We discuss the homological algebra of representation theory of finite dimensional algebras and finite groups. We present various methods for the construction and the study of equivalences of derived categories: local group theory, geometry…

In the 2000s, Sadofsky constructed a spectral sequence which converges to the mod $p$ homology groups of a homotopy limit of a sequence of spectra. The input for this spectral sequence is the derived functors of sequential limit in the…

We develop the theory of derived differential geometry in terms of bundles of curved $L_\infty[1]$-algebras, i.e. dg manifolds of positive amplitudes. We prove the category of derived manifolds is a category of fibrant objects. Therefore,…

In this work, we provide a simple way to construct $d$-abelian categories via bounded derived categories for certain values of $d$. Namely, let ${\mathcal C}$ be an abelian category, and let ${\mathcal C}[0,m]$ denote the full subcategory…

Differential categories provide the categorical foundations for the algebraic approaches to differentiation. They have been successful in formalizing various important concepts related to differentiation, such as, in particular,…

Reflexive dg categories were introduced by Kuznetsov and Shinder to abstract the duality between bounded and perfect derived categories. In particular this duality relates their Hochschild cohomologies, autoequivalence groups, and…

In this paper, we introduced a generalization of the derived category, which is called the $n$-derived category and denoted by $\D_{n}(R)$, of a given ring $R$ for each $n\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$. The $n$-derived category of a ring is…

The paper is devoted to study some of the questions arises naturally in connection to the notion of relative derived categories. In particular, we study invariants of recollements involving relative derived categories, generalise two…
