We develop foundations for the category theory of $\infty$-categories parametrized by a base $\infty$-category. Our main contribution is a theory of indexed homotopy limits and colimits, which specializes to a theory of $G$-colimits for $G$…

The extension of ordinary category theory to $\infty$-categories at the start of the 21st century was a spectacular achievement pioneered by Joyal and Lurie with contributions from many others. Unfortunately, the technical arguments…

We introduce the notion of a logical model category which is a Quillen model category satisfying some additional conditions. Those conditions provide enough expressive power that one can soundly interpret dependent products and sums in it.…

We introduce, for every positive integer n, the notion of an n-relative category and show that the category of the small n-relative categories is a model for the homotopy theory of n-fold homotopy theories, i.e. homotopy theories of ... of…

This introduction to higher category theory is intended to a give the reader an intuition for what $(\infty,1)$-categories are, when they are an appropriate tool, how they fit into the landscape of higher category, how concepts from…

In this paper we give a summary of the comparisons between different definitions of so-called (\infty,1)-categories, which are considered to be models for \infty-categories whose n-morphisms are all invertible for n>1. They are also, from…

We introduce the study of parametrized higher category theory and parametrized higher algebra, and we describe the main theorems of the series of Expos\'es that make up the monograph.

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…

Homotopy Type Theory is a new field of mathematics based on the surprising and elegant correspondence between Martin-Lofs constructive type theory and abstract homotopy theory. We have a powerful interplay between these disciplines - we can…

In this paper we lay the foundations of an $\infty$-categorical theory of Stokes data.

This paper gives an introduction to the homotopy theory of quasi-categories. Weak equivalences between quasi-categories are characterized as maps which induce equivalences on a naturally defined system of groupoids. These groupoids…

We introduce the notion of homotopically discrete n-fold category as an n-fold generalization of a groupoid with no non-trivial loops. We give two equivalent descriptions of this structure: in terms of a Segal-type model and in terms of…

We examine the use of classes to formulate several categorical notions. This leads to two proposals: an explicit structure for working with subobjects, and a hierarchy of $k$-classes. We apply the latter to both ordinary and higher…

This paper is part of a series of papers about homotopy theory of strict $n$-categories. In the first paper of this series, we gave conditions that guarantee the existence of a Thomason model category structure on the category of strict…

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…

Given a suitable functor T:C -> D between model categories, we define a long exact sequence relating the homotopy groups of any X in C with those of TX, and use this to describe an obstruction theory for lifting an object G in D to C.…

Category theory has foundational importance because it provides conceptual lenses to characterize what is important in mathematics. Originally the main lenses were universal mapping properties and natural transformations. In recent decades,…

We describe a category, the objects of which may be viewed as models for homotopy theories. We show that for such models, ``functors between two homotopy theories form a homotopy theory'', or more precisely that the category of such models…

We construct a left semi-model structure on the category of intensional type theories (precisely, on $\mathrm{CxlCat_{Id,1,\Sigma(,\Pi_{ext})}}$). This presents an $\infty$-category of such type theories; we show moreover that there is an…
