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…
We introduce the o-minimal LS-category of definable sets in o-minimal expansions of ordered fields and we establish a relation with the semialgebraic and the classical one. We also study the o-minimal LS-category of definable groups. Along…
In these notes the epitopological and pseudotopological fundamental group functors are introduced. These are functors from the category of pointed epitopological and pseudotopological spaces respectively, to the category of their respective…
Hausdorff and Gromov distances are introduced and treated in the context of categories enriched over a commutative unital quantale V. The Hausdorff functor which, for every V-category X, provides the powerset of X with a suitable V-category…
A functor is constructed from the category of globular CW-complexes to that of flows. It allows the comparison of the S-homotopy equivalences (resp. the T-homotopy equivalences) of globular complexes with the S-homotopy equivalences (resp.…
In this paper we develop homotopy theoretical methods for studying diagrams. In particular we explain how to construct homotopy colimits and limits in an arbitrary model category. The key concept we introduce is that of a model…
These are notes from an informal mini-course on factorization homology, infinity-categories, and topological field theories. The target audience was imagined to be graduate students who are not homotopy theorists.
We introduce the concept of parametrized homotopic distance, extending the classical notion of homotopic distance to the fibrewise setting. We establish its correspondence with the fibrewise sectional category of a specific fibrewise…
In this paper, motivated by symplectic topology, we explore categorical entropy and present two main results. The first result establishes a relation between categorical entropies of functors on a category and its localization.…
This paper contains some contributions to the study of the relationship between 2-categories and the homotopy types of their classifying spaces. Mainly, generalizations are given of both Quillen's Theorem B and Thomason's Homotopy Colimit…
For any object A in a simplicial model category M, we construct a topological space \^A which classifies homogeneous functors whose value on k open balls is equivalent to A. This extends a classification result of Weiss for homogeneous…
It is known that the existence of localization with respect to an arbitrary (possibly proper) class of maps in the category of simplicial sets is implied by a large-cardinal axiom called Vopenka's principle.In this article we extend the…
By introducing various topologies on the homotopy groups of a topological space, some researchers make these well known notions in algebraic topology more useful and powerful. In this paper, first we recall and review some known topologies…
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…
Invited contribution to the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics. We give an introduction to the homotopical theory of higher categories, focused on motivating the definitions of the basic objects, namely $\infty$-categories and…
In this paper, we compare several functors which take simplicial categories or model categories to complete Segal spaces, which are particularly nice simplicial spaces which, like simplicial categories, can be considered to be models for…
The interleaving distance was originally defined in the field of Topological Data Analysis (TDA) by Chazal et al. as a metric on the class of persistence modules parametrized over the real line. Bubenik et al. subsequently extended the…
Nearness theory comes into play in homotopy theory because the notion of closeness between points is essential in determining whether two spaces are homotopy equivalent. While nearness theory and homotopy theory have different focuses and…
We explore the canonical Grothendieck topology and a new homotopical analog. First we discuss some background information, including defining a new 2-category called the Index-Functor Category and a sieve generalization. Then we discuss a…
In this paper we lay the foundations of an $\infty$-categorical theory of Stokes data.
