This work concludes a series of four papers on the foundational theory of orbifolds and stacks. We apply the abstract theory, developed in its predecessors, to orbifolds derived from manifolds. Specifically, we show how the very concrete…
The first goal of this survey paper is to argue that if orbifolds are groupoids, then the collection of orbifolds and their maps has to be thought of as a 2-category. Compare this with the classical definition of Satake and Thurston of…
A new definition for the notion of a (general) $\infty$-category is given.
A generalization of the notion of an $\infty$-category is presented, allowing for ($\infty$-)cat(egorie)s that may have non-invertible higher morphisms.
We develop a universal framework to study smooth higher orbifolds on the one hand and higher Deligne-Mumford stacks (as well as their derived and spectral variants) on the other, and use this framework to obtain a completely categorical…
We show that the $\infty$-category of global spaces is equivalent to the homotopy localization of the $\infty$-category of sheaves on the site of separated differentiable stacks, following a philosophy proposed by Gepner-Henriques. We…
We exploit the theory of $\infty$-stacks to provide some basic definitions and calculational tools regarding stratified homotopy theory of stratified topological stacks.
We construct bulk-deformed orbifold Hamiltonian Floer theory for a global quotient orbifold, that is the quotient of a smooth closed symplectic manifold by a finite group acting faithfully via symplectomorphisms. The moduli spaces define an…
We consider the question of cocompleting partially presentable parametrized $\infty$-categories in the sense of arXiv:2307.11001. As our main result we show that in certain cases one may compute such relative cocompletions via a very…
Orbifolds of two-dimensional quantum field theories have a natural formulation in terms of defects or domain walls. This perspective allows for a rich generalisation of the orbifolding procedure, which we study in detail for the case of…
A notion of general manifolds is introduced. It covers all usual manifolds in mathematics. Essentially, it is a way how to get a bigger 'fibration' over a site which locally coincides with a given one. An enrichment with generalized…
Stratifolds are considered from a categorical point of view. We show among others that the category of stratifolds fully faithfully embeds into the category of ${\mathbb R}$-algebras as does the category of smooth manifolds. We prove that a…
In this paper we lay the foundations of an $\infty$-categorical theory of Stokes data.
This is a survey paper based on my talk at the Workshop on Orbifolds and String Theory, the goal of which was to explain the role of groupoids and their classifying spaces as a foundation for the theory of orbifolds.
A certain amount of category theory is developed in an arbitrary finitely complete category with a factorization system on it, playing the role of the comprehensive factorization system on Cat. Those aspects related to the concepts of…
One of the major advantages of $\infty$-category theory over classical $1$-category theory is its robust and homotopically meaningful framework for taking (co)limits of diagrams of $\infty$-categories. However, it is both subtle and crucial…
A convenient bicategory of topological stacks is constructed which is both complete and Cartesian closed. This bicategory, called the bicategory of compactly generated stacks, is the analogue of classical topological stacks, but for a…
We generalize the concepts of locally presentable and accessible categories. Our framework includes such categories as small presheaves over large categories and ind-categories. This generalization is intended for applications in the…
We prove that the $\infty$-category of orthogonal factorization systems embeds fully faithfully into the $\infty$-category of double $\infty$-categories. Moreover, we prove an (un)straightening equivalence for double $\infty$-categories,…
Given an orbifold, we construct an orthogonal spectrum representing its stable global homotopy type. Orthogonal spectra now represent orbifold cohomology theories which automatically satisfy certain properties as additivity and the…
