Constructions of spectra from symmetric monoidal categories are typically functorial with respect to strict structure-preserving maps, but often the maps of interest are merely lax monoidal. We describe conditions under which one can…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a Lie group $G$. We consider a class of group extensions $1 \to G \to \hat{G} \to \Gamma \to 1$ defined by this action and a $2$-cocycle of $\Gamma$ with values in the centre of $G$. We establish and…

In this article we study locally compact abelian (LCA) groups from the viewpoint of derived categories, using that their category is quasi-abelian in the sense of J.-P. Schneiders. We define a well-behaved derived Hom-complex with values in…

For a fixed finite group $Q$ and semi-simple finite dimensional algebra $S$, we examine an equivalence between strongly $Q$-graded algebras (extensions) with identity component $S$ and $S^1$-gerbes on action groupoids of $Q$ on the set of…

We show that the unbounded derived category of a Grothendieck category with enough projective objects is the base category of a derivator whose category of diagrams is the full 2-category of small categories. With this structure, we give a…

We make explicit some conditions on a semi-abelian category D such that, for any abelian group A in D and any object Y in D, the cohomology group homomorphisms with coefficients in A, induced by the inclusion of the abelian objects of D at…

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,…

Derived categories were invented by Grothendieck and Verdier around 1960, not very long after the "old" homological algebra (of derived functors between abelian categories) was established. This "new" homological algebra, of derived…

The goal of this paper is to offer a new construction of the de Rham-Witt complex of smooth varieties over perfect fields of characteristic $p>0$. We introduce a category of cochain complexes equipped with an endomorphism $F$ of underlying…

We give a geometric model for a tube category in terms of homotopy classes of oriented arcs in an annulus with marked points on its boundary. In particular, we interpret the dimensions of extension groups of degree 1 between indecomposable…

Cosetal extensions of monoids generalise extensions of groups, special Schreier extensions of monoids and Leech's normal extensions of groups by monoids. They share a number of properties with group extensions, including a notion of Baer…

Let G be a complex algebraic semi-simple adjoint group and X a smooth complete symmetric G-variety. Let L_i be the irreducible G-equivariant intersection cohomology complexes on X, and L the direct sum of the L_i. Let E= Ext(L,L) be the…

Classical homological algebra considers chain complexes, resolutions, and derived functors in additive categories. We describe "track algebras in dimension n", which generalize additive categories, and we define higher order chain…

We prove that for every reductive algebraic group $H$ with centre of positive dimension and every integer $K$ there is a smooth and projective variety $X$ and an algebraic $H$-torsor $P \to X$ such that the classifying map $X \to \Bclass H$…

We show that direct summands of certain additive functors arising as bifunctors with a fixed argument in an abelian category are again of that form whenever the fixed argument has finite length or, more generally, satisfies the descending…

We give an alternate formulation of pseudo-coherence over an arbitrary derived stack X. The full subcategory of pseudo-coherent objects forms a stable sub-infinity-category of the derived category associated to X. Using relative…

In this paper we propose an approach to homotopical algebra where the basic ingredient is a category with two classes of distinguished morphisms: strong and weak equivalences. These data determine the cofibrant objects by an extension…

The article is developing homological algebra in modules over non-unital rings and algebras. The main application is the definition and study of (directed) homology of $(\infty,1)$-categories and of directed spaces, including relative…

We give the first tractable and systematic examples of nontrivial higher digraph homotopy groups. To do this we define relative digraph homotopy groups and show these satisfy a long exact sequence analogous to the relative homotopy groups…

Let $X$ be a closed oriented connected topological manifold of dimension $n\geq 5$. The structure group of $X$ is the abelian group of equivalence classes of all pairs $(f, M)$ such that $M$ is a closed oriented manifold and $f\colon M \to…
