We present a new approach to simple homotopy theory of polyhedra using finite topological spaces. We define the concept of collapse of a finite space and prove that this new notion corresponds exactly to the concept of a simplicial…

In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…

This is a survey. The main subject of this survey is the homotopical or homological nature of certain structures which appear in classical problems about groups, Lie rings and group rings. It is well known that the (generalized) dimension…

We extend the homotopy theories based on point reduction for finite spaces and simplicial complexes to finite acyclic categories and $\Delta$-complexes, respectively. The functors of classifying spaces and face posets are compatible with…

The aim of this paper is to show that the most elementary homotopy theory of $\mathbf{G}$-spaces is equivalent to a homotopy theory of simplicial sets over $\mathbf{BG}$, where $\mathbf{G}$ is a fixed group. Both homotopy theories are…

Recently discovered domain-specific formal systems -- specifically homotopy type theory and simplicial type theory -- provide new perspectives on spaces and categories in a natively equivalence-invariant setting. In this note, we expose…

We introduce some classes of genuine higher categories in homotopy type theory, defined as well-behaved subcategories of the category of types. We give several examples, and some techniques for showing other things are not examples. While…

This paper gives a first step towards developing synthetic differential geometry within homotopy type theory. Its model theory will be discussed in a subsequent paper.

$\infty$-category theory was originally developed in the context of classical homotopy theory using standard set theoretical assumptions, but has since been extended to a variety of mathematical foundations. One such successful effort,…

Relative realizability toposes satisfy a universal property that involves regular functors to other categories. We use this universal property to define what relative realizability categories are, when based on other categories than of the…

Homotopy limits and colimits are homotopical replacements for the usual limits and colimits of category theory, which can be approached either using classical explicit constructions or the modern abstract machinery of derived functors. Our…

We endow categories of non-symmetric operads with natural model structures. We work with no restriction on our operads and only assume the usual hypotheses for model categories with a symmetric monoidal structure. We also study categories…

This paper introduces categories of assemblies which are closely connected to realizability interpretations and which are based on an important subcategory of the effective topos. There is a list of properties which characterize these…

We describe a category, the objects of which may be viewed as models for homotopy theories. We show that for such models, ``functors between two homotopy theories form a homotopy theory'', or more precisely that the category of such models…

There have recently been several developments in synthetic mathematics using extensions of dependent type theory with univalence and higher inductive types: simplicial homotopy type theory, synthetic algebraic geometry and synthetic Stone…

We investigate a framework of Krivine realizability with I/O effects, and present a method of associating realizability models to specifications on the I/O behavior of processes, by using adequate interpretations of the central concepts of…

Both simplicial sets and simplicial spaces are used pervasively in homotopy theory as presentations of spaces, where in both cases we extract the "underlying space" by taking geometric realization. We have a good handle on the category of…

In this paper we construct new categorical models for the identity types of Martin-L\"of type theory, in the categories Top of topological spaces and SSet of simplicial sets. We do so building on earlier work of Awodey and Warren, which has…
