A ringed finite space is a ringed space whose underlying topological space is finite. The category of ringed finite spaces contains, fully faithfully, the category of finite topological spaces and the category of affine schemes. Any ringed…
We establish a bijection between the set of finite topological $T_0$-spaces (or partially ordered sets) and equivalence classes of square matrices. The absolute value of the determinant or the rank of these matrices serve as simple homotopy…
An elementary notion of homotopy can be introduced between arrows in a cartesian closed category $E$. The input is a finite-product-preserving endofunctor $\Pi_0$ with a natural transformation $p$ from the identity which is surjective on…
We present an intrinsic and concrete development of the subdivision of small categories, give some simple examples and derive its fundamental properties. As an application, we deduce an alternative way to compare the homotopy categories of…

This paper gives a uniform-theoretic refinement of classical homotopy theory. Both cubical sets (with connections) and uniform spaces admit classes of weak equivalences, special cases of classical weak equivalences, appropriate for the…
In the first part of this paper we show that path categories are enriched over groupoids, in a way that is compatible with a suitable 2-category of path categories. In the second part we introduce a new notion of homotopy exponential and…
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…
The category of compact Hausdorff spaces is the base of tripos. As such it can be freely completed to an elementary topos.
The topological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{top}$ is a homotopy invariant finer than the usual fundamental group. It assigns to each space a quasitopological group and is discrete on spaces which admit universal covers. For an arbitrary…
We define inductively a sequence of purely algebraic invariants - namely, classes in the Quillen cohomology of the Pi-algebra \pi_* X - for distinguishing between different homotopy types of spaces. Another sequence of such cohomology…
We extend the theory of d-categories, by providing an explicit description of the right mapping spaces of the d-homotopy category of an $\infty$-category. Using this description, we deduce an invariant $\infty$-categorical characterization…
We study the realization problem of finite groups as the group of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences of finite spaces. Let $G$ be a finite group. Using an infinite family of pairwise non weakly homotopic asymmetric spaces we…
This article describes the cocompletion of a category $C$ with finite limits as the homotopy category of some equivalence 2-groupoids in coproducts of elements of $C$. This yields a simple link between several definitions of an infinitary…
We define an elementary $\infty$-topos that simultaneously generalizes an elementary topos and Grothendieck $\infty$-topos. We then prove it satisfies the expected topos theoretic properties, such as descent, local Cartesian closure,…
We describe the relation of $r$-similarity and finite-order invariants on the homotopy set $[S^1,Y]=\pi_1(Y)$.
Consider the topologically enriched category of compact smooth manifolds (possibly with corners), with morphisms given by codimension zero smooth embeddings. Now formally identify any object X with its thickening X x [-1,1]. We prove that…
The intended model of the homotopy type theories used in Univalent Foundations is the infinity-category of homotopy types, also known as infinity-groupoids. The problem of higher structures is that of constructing the homotopy types needed…
A 1-truncated compact Lie group is any extension of a finite group by a torus. In this note we compute the homotopy types of $Map_*(BG,BH)$, $Map(BG,BH)$, and $Map(EG, B_GH)^G$ for compact Lie groups $G$ and $H$ with $H$ 1-truncated,…
Extriangulated categories axiomatize extension-closed subcategories of triangulated categories. We show that the homotopy category of an exact quasi-category can be equipped with a natural extriangulated structure.
