An n-category is some sort of algebraic structure consisting of objects, morphisms between objects, 2-morphisms between morphisms, and so on up to n-morphisms, together with various ways of composing them. We survey various concepts of…

In recent years philosophers of science have explored categorical equivalence as a promising criterion for when two (physical) theories are equivalent. On the one hand, philosophers have presented several examples of theories whose…

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…

We develop a technique for normalization for $\infty$-type theories. The normalization property helps us to prove a coherence theorem: the initial model of a given $\infty$-type theory is $0$-truncated. The coherence theorem justifies…

The basic concepts of category theory are developed and examples of them are presented to illustrate them using measurement theory and probability theory tools. Motivated by Perrone's workarXiv:1912.10642 where notes on category theory are…

We give a direct proof of the fact that Lurie's Unstraightening functor induces an equivalence between the strict $(\infty,2)$-category of indexed quasi-categories and the strict $(\infty,2)$-category of fibered quasi-categories over any…

We prove that the homotopy theory of cofibration categories is equivalent to the homotopy theory of cocomplete quasicategories. This is achieved by presenting both homotopy theories as fibration categories and constructing an explicit…

In a previous article, we introduced notions of finiteness obstruction, Euler characteristic, and L^2-Euler characteristic for wide classes of categories. In this sequel, we prove the compatibility of those notions with homotopy colimits of…

Constructing and manipulating homotopy types from categorical input data has been an important theme in algebraic topology for decades. Every category gives rise to a `classifying space', the geometric realization of the nerve. Up to weak…

Category theory unifies mathematical concepts, aiding comparisons across structures by incorporating objects and morphisms, which capture their interactions. It has influenced areas of computer science such as automata theory, functional…

Twisted arrow $\infty$-categories of $(\infty,1)$-categories were introduced by Lurie, and they have various applications in higher category theory. Abell\'{a}n Garc\'{i}a and Stern gave a generalization to twisted arrow $\infty$-categories…

The homotopy theory of infinity-operads is defined by extending Joyal's homotopy theory of infinity-categories to the category of dendroidal sets. We prove that the category of dendroidal sets is endowed with a model category structure…

The aim of this paper is to reformulate the theory of unbounded derived categories, including more recent categories of first and second kind, using the language of $(\infty,1)$-categories.

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…

We define extension $\infty$-categories for exact $\infty$-categories in terms of bifibrations. Extension $\infty$-categories are invariant when passing to the stable hull, and consequently we show that they form an $\Omega$-spectrum,…
