inIn the last semester I learned homological algebra and higher category theory\homotopy theory/homotopy theory.
butBut I am kind of confused when I try to realy understatereally understand the link between the two subjectsubjects ( thisthis is really not my comfort comfort zone ...)
Therefore I try to write (a kind of self exersice-exercise) a text on homological algebra and homotopy theory but realyreally introduce from $0$ the two subjetssubjects.
I would like to introduce the following concepts in homological algebra :
- chain complex
1$\frac{1}{2}$.grothendieck Grothendieck group
homotopy of a complex
derived category
t-structures
And also I would like to introduce the following concepts in homotopy theory :
Model categories
Homotopy category of a model category
Derivation in the setting of model categories
Quasi categories-categories
4.5. simplicial object in a category and homotopy in this context
- Dold kan-Kan equivalence
Now the "hard" part start :
howHow to organize this conceptthese concepts in a good way? forFor 1-3 (either in homology\homotopyhomology/homotopy) I think that I know how to do that but for 3-5 especially in homotopy I dontdon't have any idea ...
This gives rise to my questions :
- howHow to give motivation infinite categorymotivate infinity categories, or with more generallitygenerally homotopy theory\highertheory/higher category theory but from a homological point of view. I read somewhere a maybe good idea :
For an abelian category $\mathcal{A}$
, the derived category $\mathcal{D(A)}$ is not defined by a universal property.
I read somewhere that in some sense higher category theory resolveresolves the problem,Okay. Okay but why ? andAnd, do we need quasi categories, or would model categories will be sufficient for doing that?
- and ifIf someone have some idea to organize this text I open to any suggestion.
I will be grateful if someone could give me some clues for doing this self exercise .
