Like categories, small 2-categories have well-understood classifying spaces. In this paper, we deal with homotopy types represented by 2-diagrams of 2-categories. Our results extend to homotopy colimits of 2-functors lower categorical…
Quillen defined a {\em model category} to be a category with finite limits and colimits carrying a certain extra structure. In this paper, we show that only finite products and coproducts (in addition to the certain extra structure alluded…
Working in homotopy type theory, we provide a systematic study of homotopy limits of diagrams over graphs, formalized in the Coq proof assistant. We discuss some of the challenges posed by this approach to formalizing homotopy-theoretic…
We develop a number of basic concepts in the theory of categories internal to an $\infty$-topos. We discuss adjunctions, limits and colimits as well as Kan extensions for internal categories, and we use these results to prove the universal…
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…
This paper contains two results on how homotopy limits of topological spaces interact with connectivity. The first is a formula for the connectivity of the homotopy limit of diagrams shaped over suitably finite categories, in terms of the…
In this paper, we justify and make precise an elementary approach that establishes the existence of (co)limits in $\mathbf{Cat}$. This approach, while conceptually evident, has not been made fully explicit or systematically described in the…
In this paper we go into the study of 2-limits and 2-colimits in the 2-category CAT the category of small categories. More precisely we show the commutation of filtered 2-colimits and finite 2-limits. It is a generalization of a classical…
No new results. This is a short overview of the standard machinery of filtered colimits and accessible categories, written in parallel to a homotopically enhanced version available as Section 7.6 in arXiv:2409.17489.
Lenses are an important tool in applied category theory. While individual lenses have been widely used in applications, many of the mathematical properties of the corresponding categories of lenses have remained unknown. In this paper, we…
Colimits are a powerful tool for the combination of objects in a category. In the context of modeling and specification, they are used in the institution-independent semantics (1) of instantiations of parameterised specifications (e.g. in…
A cocycle category H(X,Y) is defined for objects X and Y in a model category, and it is shown that the set of morphisms [X,Y] is isomorphic to the set of path components of H(X,Y) provided the ambient model category is right proper and…
In this paper we define the pro-\'etale homotopy type of a scheme and prove some of its expected properties. Our definition is similar to the definition of the \'etale homotopy type by Michael Artin and Barry Mazur. We prove that for a qcqs…
The category of Hilbert spaces and contractions has filtered colimits, and tensoring preserves them. We also discuss (problems with) bounded maps.
The main objective of this paper is to show that the homotopy colimit of a diagram of quasi-categories and indexed by a small category is a localization of Lurie's higher Grothendieck construction of the diagram. We thereby generalize…
We study the category pro-SSet of pro-simplicial sets, which arises in etale homotopy theory, shape theory, and pro-finite completion. We establish a model structure on pro-SSet so that it is possible to do homotopy theory in this category.…
The goal of this paper is to prove an equivalence between the model categorical approach to pro-categories, as studied by Isaksen, Schlank and the first author, and the $\infty$-categorical approach, as developed by Lurie. Three…
In this article we present a detailed study of the existing constructions of colilimits in the category of symmetrical operations. In addition, some examples of operads obtained from colimits of other operads are presented.
In previous work, we introduce an axiomatic framework within which to prove theorems about many varieties of infinite-dimensional categories simultaneously. In this paper, we establish criteria implying that an $\infty$-category - for…
The paper uses the formalism of indexed categories to recover the proof of a standard final coalgebra theorem, thus showing existence of final coalgebras for a special class of functors on categories with finite limits and colimits. As an…
