We provide, among other things: (i) a Bousfield--Kan formula for colimits in $\infty$-categories (generalizing the 1-categorical formula for a colimit as a coequalizer of maps between coproducts); (ii) $\infty$-categorical generalizations…

We define the notion of an indexed profunctor over a 2-category, and use it to develop an abstract theory of limits. The theory subsumes (conical) limits, weighted limits, ends and Kan extensions. Results include an abstract version of the…

In this paper, we define indexed type theories which are related to indexed ($\infty$-)categories in the same way as (homotopy) type theories are related to ($\infty$-)categories. We define several standard constructions for such theories…

An algebraically exact category in one that admits all of the limits and colimits which every variety of algebras possesses and every forgetful functor between varieties preserves, and which verifies the same interactions between these…

We categorify the theory developed by Moy-Prasad in [MP94]. More precisely, we define a depth filtration on any category with an action of the loop group $G((t))$ and prove a $2$-categorical generation statement inspired by the theory of…

We introduce the notion of a $c$-category, which is a kind of category whose behaviour is controlled by connective ring spectra. More precisely, any $c$-category admits a finite step resolution by categories of compact modules over…

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…

Given a small abelian category $\mathcal{A}$, the Freyd-Mitchell embedding theorem states the existence of a ring $R$ and an exact full embedding $\mathcal{A} \rightarrow R$-Mod. This theorem is useful as it allows one to prove general…

We develop category theory within Univalent Foundations, which is a foundational system for mathematics based on a homotopical interpretation of dependent type theory. In this system, we propose a definition of "category" for which equality…

Keimel and Lawson proposed a set of conditions for proving a category of topological spaces to be reflective in the category of all T0 spaces. These conditions were recently used to prove the reflectivity of the category of all…

We study nilpotency in the context of exact Mal'tsev categories taking central extensions as the primitive notion. This yields a nilpotency tower which is analysed from the perspective of Goodwillie's functor calculus. We show in particular…

We use type-theoretic techniques to present an algebraic theory of $\infty$-categories with strict units. Starting with a known type-theoretic presentation of fully weak $\infty$-categories, in which terms denote valid operations, we extend…

Given any additive category $\mathcal{C}$ with split idempotents, pseudokernels and pseudocokernels, we show that a subcategory $\mathcal{B}$ is coreflective if, and only if, it is precovering, closed under direct summands and each morphism…

This article provides a general framework in the context of category theory where one can recognize as particular instances of the same abstract construction several notions of completion, envelope, and hull, such as the Boolean algebra…

Thomason showed that the K-theory of symmetric monoidal categories models all connective spectra. This paper describes a new construction of a permutative category from a Gamma-space, which is then used to re-prove Thomason's theorem and a…

We prove that an enriched $\infty$-category is completely determined by its enriched presheaf category together with a `marking' by the representable presheaves. More precisely, for any presentably monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathcal{V}$…
