We define Weil spaces, Weil manifolds, Weil varieties and Weil Lie groups over an arbitrary commutative base ring K (in particular, over discrete rings such as the integers), and we develop the basic theory of such spaces, leading up the…
In this paper we give an axiomatization of differential geometry comparable to model categories for homotopy theory. Weil functors play a predominant role.
We establish a unified group-theoretic framework bridging the arithmetic homotopy exact sequence of a variety and the Birman exact sequence of a surface. Within this framework, we reinterpret classical arithmetic notions - such as the…
In this paper we develop the theory of topological categories over a base category, that is, a theory of topological functors. Our notion of topological functor is similar to (but not the same) the existing notions in the literature (see…
We show that differential calculus (in its usual form, or in the general form of topological differential calculus) can be fully imdedded into a functor category (functors from a small category of anchord tangent algebras to anchored sets).…
Given a complete and (locally) cartesian closed category U, it is shown that the category of functors from the category of Weil algebras to the category U is (locally, resp.) cartesian closed. The corresponding axiomatization for…
We present a research programme aimed at constructing classifying toposes of Weil-type cohomology theories and associated categories of motives, and introduce a number of notions and preliminary results already obtained in this direction.…
We construct the Weil functor $T^A$ corresponding to a general Weil algebra $A = K \oplus N$: this is a functor from the category of manifolds over a general topological base field or ring $K$ (of arbitrary characteristic) to the category…
We express some basic properties of Deninger's conjectural dynamical system in terms of morphisms of topoi. Then we show that the current definition of the Weil-\'etale topos satisfies these properties. In particular, the flow, the closed…
We define the fundamental group underlying to Lichtenbaum's Weil-\'etale cohomology for number rings. To this aim, we define the Weil-\'etale topos as a refinement of the Weil-\'etale sites introduced in \cite{Lichtenbaum}. We show that the…
This paper is the fourth in a series whose goal is to develop a fundamentally new way of building theories of physics. The motivation comes from a desire to address certain deep issues that arise in the quantum theory of gravity. Our basic…
Constructing and manipulating homotopy types from categorical input data has been an important theme in algebraic topology for decades. Every category gives rise to a `classifying space', the geometric realization of the nerve. Up to weak…
We define a simplicial differential calculus by generalizing divided differences from the case of curves to the case of general maps, defined on general topological vector spaces, or even on modules over a topological ring K. This calculus…
Recent developments in motivic homotopy theory, especially the construction of norm functors by Bachmann and Hoyois, rely heavily on the machinery of infinite categories. In this paper, we take a purely geometric and elementary approach via…
Tangent categories are categories equipped with a tangent functor: an endofunctor with certain natural transformations which make it behave like the tangent bundle functor on the category of smooth manifolds. They provide an abstract…
We develop a homotopical framework for small categories that extends classical invarints of algebraic topology to the categorical setting. Our approach is based on the construction of genuine path category, obtained trough a localization…
This thesis provides an introduction to the various category theory ideas employed in topological quantum field theory. These theories are viewed as symmetric monoidal functors from topological cobordism categories into the category of…
A subcategory of an abelian category is wide if it is closed under sums, summands, kernels, cokernels, and extensions. Wide subcategories provide a significant interface between representation theory and combinatorics. If $\Phi$ is a finite…
We define a Weil-\'etale complex with compact support for duals (in the sense of the Bloch dualizing cycles complex $\mathbb{Z}^c$) of a large class of $\mathbb{Z}$-constructible sheaves on an integral $1$-dimensional proper arithmetic…
We present a way of constructing a Quillen model structure on a full subcategory of an elementary topos, starting with an interval object with connections and a certain dominance. The advantage of this method is that it does not require the…
