We show that representations up to homotopy can be differentiated in a functorial way. A van Est type isomorphism theorem is established and used to prove a conjecture of Crainic and Moerdijk on deformations of Lie brackets.

Using Quillen-Lurie deformation theory formalism we develop an obstruction theory for studying the stable $\infty$-category of modules over a given geometric $\infty$-stack. The obstruction theory studies the problem of lifting compact…

We outline the theory of reflections for prederivators, derivators and stable derivators. In order to parallel the classical theory valid for categories, we outline how reflections can be equivalently described as categories of fractions,…

We prove that a lax $\mathbb{E}_{n+1}$-monoidal functor from $\mathcal V$ to $\mathcal W$ induces a lax $\mathbb{E}_n$-monoidal functor from $\mathcal V$-enriched $\infty$-categories to $\mathcal W$-enriched $\infty$-categories in the sense…

The existence of a homogeneous decomposition for continuous and epi-translation invariant valuations on super-coercive functions is established. Continuous and epi-translation invariant valuations that are epi-homogeneous of degree $n$ are…

In this article we show how to build main aspects of our paper on globular weak $(\infty,n)$-categories, but now for the cubical geometry. Thus we define a monad on the category $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{S}ets$ of cubical sets which algebras are…

We study limits in 2-categories whose objects are categories with extra structure and whose morphisms are functors preserving the structure only up to a coherent comparison map, which may or may not be required to be invertible. This is…

This article gives an exposition of the deformation theory for pairs $(X, E)$, where $X$ is a compact complex manifold and $E$ is a holomorphic vector bundle over $X$, adapting an analytic viewpoint \`{a} la Kodaira-Spencer. By introducing…

In this short survey we give a non-technical introduction to some main ideas of the theory of $\infty$-categories, hopefully facilitating the digestion of the foundational work of Joyal and Lurie. Besides the basic $\infty$-categorical…

Additive categories play a fundamental role in mathematics and related disciplines. Given an additive category equipped with a biadditive functor, one can construct its category of extensions, which encodes important structural information.…

This paper brings together C*-algebras and algebraic topology in terms of viewing a C*-algebraic invariant in terms of a topological spectrum. E-theory, E(A,B), is a bivariant functor in the sense that is a cohomology functor in the first…

We develop the formal theory of monads, as established by Street, in univalent foundations. This allows us to formally reason about various kinds of monads on the right level of abstraction. In particular, we define the bicategory of monads…

We introduce a category of extended complex manifolds, and prove that the functor describing deformations of a classical compact complex manifold $M$ within this category is versally representable by (an analytic subspace in) $H^*(M,T_M)$.…
