Given an infinity-category C, one can naturally construct an infinity-category Fam(C) of families of objects in C indexed by infinity-groupoids. An ordinary categorical version of this construction was used by Borceux and Janelidze in the…

We establish a unified group-theoretic framework bridging the arithmetic homotopy exact sequence of a variety and the Birman exact sequence of a surface. Within this framework, we reinterpret classical arithmetic notions - such as the…

This paper presents and explores a theory of \emph{multiholomorphic maps}. This group of ideas generalizes the theory of pseudoholomorphic curves in a direction suggested by consideration of the kinds of compatible geometric structures that…

This text develops a homotopy theory of 2-categories analogous to Grothendieck's homotopy theory of categories developed in "Pursuing Stacks". We define the notion of "basic localizer of 2-Cat", 2-categorical generalization of…

We introduce a homotopy theory of digraphs (directed graphs) and prove its basic properties, including the relations to the homology theory of digraphs constructed by the authors in previous papers. In particular, we prove the homotopy…

2-Theories are a canonical way of describing categories with extra structure. 2-theory-morphisms are used when discussing how one structure can be replaced with another structure. This is central to categorical coherence theory. We place a…

Using Butz and Moerdijk's topological groupoid representation of a topos with enough points, a `syntax-semantics' duality for geometric theories is constructed. The emphasis is on a logical presentation, starting with a description of the…

We formulate and prove a generalized Albanese property for families of maps from a smooth curve over an arbitrary field into a commutative group stack. Our proof, which is mostly self-contained, employs local-to-global techniques and some…

The fundamental bigroupoid of a topological space is one way of capturing its homotopy 2-type. When the space is semilocally 2-connected, one can lift the construction to a bigroupoid internal to the category of topological spaces, as Brown…

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 interpret mathematically the pair (master equation, solution of master equation) up to equivalence, as the pair (a presentation of a free triangular dga T over a combination operad O, dga map of T into C, a dga over O) up to homotopy…

In this paper, using the classical covering theory, we introduce a generalization of covering maps of a space $X$ with respect to a topology $\tau$ on the fundamental group of $X$. We show that the famous notions, covering, semicovering,…

We show that the notions of homotopy epimorphism and homological epimorphism in the category of differential graded algebras are equivalent. As an application we obtain a characterization of acyclic maps of topological spaces in terms of…

On d\'eveloppe une th\'eorie de l'homotopie des 2-cat\'egories analogue \`a la th\'eorie de l'homotopie des cat\'egories d\'evelopp\'ee par Grothendieck dans "\`A la poursuite des champs". Il s'agit de la th\`ese de doctorat de l'auteur. We…

We study a natural generalization of covering projections defined in terms of unique lifting properties. A map $p:E\to X$ has the "continuous path-covering property" if all paths in $X$ lift uniquely and continuously (rel. basepoint) with…

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…

This work contributes to clarifying several relationships between certain higher categorical structures and the homotopy types of their classifying spaces. Double categories (Ehresmann, 1963) have well-understood geometric realizations, and…

In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…

We recall a group-theoretic description of the first non-vanishing homotopy group of a certain (n+1)-ad of spaces and show how it yields several formulae for homotopy and homology groups of specific spaces. In particular we obtain an…

The results of a previous paper on the equivariant homotopy theory of crossed complexes are generalised from the case of a discrete group to general topological groups. The principal new ingredient necessary for this is an analysis of…
