Quantum field theory in curved spacetime may be defined either through a manifestly unitary canonical approach or via the manifestly covariant path integral formalism. For gauge theories, these two approaches have produced conflicting…

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…

We introduce $\infty$-type theories as an $\infty$-categorical generalization of the categorical definition of type theories introduced by the second named author. We establish analogous results to the previous work including the…

We develop a homotopy theory for additive categories endowed with endofunctors, analogous to the concept of a model structure. We use it to construct the homotopy theory of a Hovey triple (which consists of two compatible complete cotorsion…

A typoid is a type equipped with an equivalence relation, such that the terms of equivalence between the terms of the type satisfy certain conditions, with respect to a given equivalence relation between them, that generalise the properties…

Topos theory has been suggested by D\"oring and Isham as an alternative mathematical structure with which to formulate physical theories. In particular, the topos approach suggests a radical new way of thinking about what a theory of…

We show "free theorems" in the style of Wadler for polymorphic functions in homotopy type theory as consequences of the abstraction theorem. As an application, it follows that every space defined as a higher inductive type has the same…

We prove that every categorical model of dependent type theory with dependent sums and products, intensional identity types and univalent universes presents via its $\infty$-localisation an elementary $\infty$-topos, that is, a finitely…

This is the third in a series of papers extending Martin-L\"of's meaning explanations of dependent type theory to a Cartesian cubical realizability framework that accounts for higher-dimensional types. We extend this framework to include a…

We introduce the notion of a "category with path objects", as a slight strengthening of Kenneth Brown's classic notion of a "category of fibrant objects". We develop the basic properties of such a category and its associated homotopy…

Topologists are sometimes interested in space-valued diagrams over a given index category, but it is tricky to say what such a diagram even is if we look for a notion that is stable under equivalence. The same happens in (homotopy) type…

Equivalence classes of gapped Hamiltonians compatible with given symmetry constraints, such as those underlying topological insulators, can be defined in many ways. For the non-chiral classes modelled by vector bundles over Brillouin tori,…

Since Quillen proved his famous equivalences of homotopy categories in 1969, much work has been done towards classifying the rational homotopy types of simply connected topological places. The majority of this work has focused on rational…

Building on work of Marta Bunge in the one-categorical case, we characterize when a given model category is Quillen equivalent to a presheaf category with the projective model structure. This involves introducing a notion of homotopy atoms,…

These notes offer a lightening introduction to topological quantum field theory in its functorial axiomatisation, assuming no or little prior exposure. We lay some emphasis on the connection between the path integral motivation and the…

This paper investigates spaces equipped with a family of metric-like functions satisfying certain axioms. These functions provide a unified framework for defining topology, uniformity, and diffeology. The framework is based on a family of…

There is a well-established homotopy theory of simplicial objects in a Grothendieck topos, and folklore says that the weak equivalences are axiomatisable in the geometric fragment of $L_{\omega_1, \omega}$. We show that it is in fact a…
