Reference for homotopy (co)limits of (co)chain complexes via totalization of double complexes
It seems to be a well-known fact that homotopy (co)limits
of (co)simplicial diagrams of nonnegatively graded
(co)chain complexes in (Grothendieck) abelian categories
can be computed by using the Dold-...

Motivating the category of chain complexes
Let $R$ be a commutative ring. For awhile I have been trying to motivate to myself more fully the definition of and various structures on the category $\text{Ch}(R)$ of chain complexes of $R$-modules (...

Complete the following sequence: point, triangle, octahedron, . . . in a dg-category
Let $\mathcal C$ be a pre-triangulated dg-category (or a stable $\infty$-category, if you wish).
An object $X$ in $\mathcal C$ gives a "point":
$$X$$
A morphism $X\xrightarrow f Y$ in $\mathcal C$ ...

how to make the category of chain complexes into an $\infty$-category
I'd like to have some simple examples of quasi-categories to understand better some concepts and one of the most basic (for me) should be the category of chain complexes.
Has anyone ever written down ...

Does homotopy equivalence between deformations of cochain complexes imply gauge equivalence?
Let $(C^{\bullet},d)$ be a cochain complex over a field $k$ with char$k$=0. We fix an Artin local $k$-algebra $(A,m)$. A deformation of $d$ is a new operator $d+\epsilon: C^{\bullet}\otimes_k m\to C^{\...

How to prove that any perfect complex on an affine scheme is strictly perfect?
Let $(X,\mathcal{A})$ be a ringed space. A complex $\mathcal{S}^{\bullet}$ of $\mathcal{A}$-modules is $\textit{perfect}$ if for any point $x\in X$, there exists an open neighborhood $U$ of $x$ and a ...
