In order to apply nonstandard methods to questions of algebraic geometry we continue our investigation from "Enlargements of categories" (Theory Appl. Categ. 14 (2005), No. 16, 357--398) and show how important homotopical constructions…
This a slightly expended version of my habilitation thesis, which is an overview of my research activities during the last 4 years, written in a rather informal style.
Motivated by the study of the interrelation between functorial and algebraic quantum field theory, we point out that on any locally trivial bundle of compact groups, representations up to homotopy are enough to separate points by means of…
Category theory provides a means through which many far-ranging fields of mathematics can be related by their similar structure. In a paper by Robinson [2], this interconnectivity afforded by categorical perspectives allowed for the…
These are the lecture notes for the introductory graduate course I taught at Yale during Spring 2007. I mostly followed [GS], [BGV], [AB], [Par2], and there are no original results in these notes.
We define inductively a sequence of purely algebraic invariants - namely, classes in the Quillen cohomology of the Pi-algebra \pi_* X - for distinguishing between different homotopy types of spaces. Another sequence of such cohomology…
This paper is based on the first author's lectures at the 2012 University of Regina Workshop "Connections Between Algebra and Geometry". Its aim is to provide an introduction to the theory of higher secant varieties and their applications.…
These notes are from a 4-lecture mini-course taught by the author at the conference on von Neumann algebras as part of the ``Geometrie non commutative en mathematiques et physique'' month at CIRM in 2004.
We prove two representability theorems, up to homotopy, for presheaves taking values in a closed symmetric combinatorial model category \cat V. The first theorem resembles the Freyd representability theorem, the second theorem is closer to…
The notes were prepared for a series of talks that I gave in Hagen in late June and early July 2003, and, with some changes, in the University of La Lagu\~{n}a, the Canary Islands, in September, 2003. They aim (i) to revisit some oldish…
This paper is an extended version of four lectures at PIMS in Vancouver given June 27 - 30, 2016. The primary goal of these lectures was to publicize the author's recent efforts to extend to representations of linear algebraic groups the…
The aim of this note is to clarify the relationship between Green's formula and the associativity of multiplication for derived Hall algebra in the sense of To\"{e}n (Duke Math J 135(3):587-615, 2006), Xiao and Xu (Duke Math J…
These notes are from a series of lectures given at the Workshop on the Homotopy Theory of Homotopy Theories which took place in Caesarea, Israel, in May 2010. The workshop was organized by David Blanc, Emmanuel Farjoun, and David Kazhdan,…
This presentation is the sequel of a paper published in GETCO'00 proceedings where a research program to construct an appropriate algebraic setting for the study of deformations of higher dimensional automata was sketched. This paper…
This article consists of six lectures on the categorification of the Burau representation and on link homology groups which categorify the Jones and the HOMFLY-PT polynomial. The notes are based on the lecture course at the PCMI 2006 summer…
These are the lecture notes for my course at the 2011 Park City Mathematics Graduate Summer School. The first two lectures covered the basics of the Torelli group and the Johnson homomorphism, and the third and fourth lectures discussed the…
This is the fourth (and last) prepublication version of a book on derived categories, that will be published by Cambridge University Press. The purpose of the book is to provide solid foundations for the theory of derived categories, and to…
This paper surveys results on the connections between the cohomology for algebraic groups, finite groups and Frobenius kernels that were presented at the Workshop and Summer School on Lie and Representation Theory at East China Normal…
Stable homotopy theory is governed by the principle that after inverting loop spaces, homotopy types become the representing objects for homology theories. We show that this principle extends to higher category theory: inverting…
These are notes from an informal mini-course on factorization homology, infinity-categories, and topological field theories. The target audience was imagined to be graduate students who are not homotopy theorists.
