Homotopy theory is an important sub-field of algebraic topology. It is mainly concerned with the properties and structures of spaces which are invariant under homotopy. Chief among these are the homotopy groups of spaces, specifically those of spheres. Homotopy theory includes a broad set of ideas and techniques, such as cohomology theories, spectra and stable homotopy theory, model categories, spectral sequences, and classifying spaces.

Base change of schemes preserves $\mathbb{A}^1$-contractibility

Yes. (EDIT : Brian Shin pointed out to me that I absolutely did not need smoothness for that argument - I got confused in thinking it was needed to define $Sm/k \to Sm/L$ but of course a pullback of a …

A space $X$ is $k$-truncated iff $\text{Fun}(S,X)$ is $k$-truncated

Let $S^n := \Delta^n/\partial \Delta^n$; and let me assume for simplicity that $X$ is connected. We have a (homotopy) fiber sequence $\Omega^n X \to X^{S^n} \to X$. In particular, for $n>k$, $\Omega^n …

Left Kan extension and finite product preserving

Yes, but this is a completely general phenomenon unrelated to animated rings and sheaves. The general (surprising!) phenomenon is that the left Kan extension of any product preserving functor $C\to An …

Group completion of $\mathbb{E}_{\infty}$-monoids via tensor products

Yes, for the same reason. Let me sketch a proof. 1- $QS^0\otimes X$ is group-complete. Indeed, its $\pi_0$ is $\mathbb Z\otimes \pi_0(X)$, and that's a group for the usual reasons. Another way to prov …

Groupoidification of infinity categories and geometric realization

Yes, they are equivalent, and this is why people sometimes use $|C|$ to denote $Str(C)$. Consider the following composite $Fun(\Delta^{op},\mathrm{Grpd}) \to Fun^{cpl, Segal}(\Delta^{op}, \mathrm{Grpd …

Homotopy coherent generalization of classifying space theory

I think it is worth expliciting skd's answer. There is a chain of equivalences $$\mathcal S_{/BG} \simeq Fun(BG, \mathcal S) \simeq Mod_G(\mathcal S)$$ each of which is, at an informal level, easy to …

Function space and contractibility

If there exists a homotopy equivalence $f: X\to Y$ and every other $h$ is homotopic to $f$, then $f$ is homotopic to a constant map, so that $X,Y$ are contractible, and therefore so is $map(X,Y)$. Exc …

Are morphisms in a stable $\infty$-category generated by split injections?

Any map $f:A\to B$ fits in a cofiber sequence of arrows $(0\to A)\to (A\to A\oplus B)\to (A\to B)$ In other words, any map is a cofiber of split inclusions. But now cofibers (as any colimit, by the Bo …

Mapping spaces in complete Segal spaces and quasi-categories

This might not be what you want, but you can go the other way around: to a quasicategory $C$ you can associate a Segal space via $NC: [n]\mapsto Fun(\Delta^n, C)^\simeq$, by which I mean the largest s …

Linearity of topological periodic cyclic homology

If you want a full module structure (rather than just an "action map" $TP(A)\otimes TP(B)\to TP(B)$, which is enough for some arguments), the reasonable notion would be for $B$ to be an $A$-module in …

On the connections between condensed mathematics and homotopy theory

The way in which "condensed sets are similar to topological spaces" is very different from the way in which "$\infty$-groupoids are similar to topological spaces". In fact, condensed mathematics is, i …

Two definitions of a monad on an ∞-category

This paper (and specifically Section 8 thereof) by Rune Haugseng essentially fully answers the question, proving that the two notions are indeed equivalent.

Multiplicative Structures on Moore Spectra

I randomly ran into this old question - the state of the art is now the following paper of Robert Burklund where he proves that many Moore spectra do, in fact, have $A_\infty$ -structures. For example …

Computing homotopy colimit of a space with free $S^1$-action

Note that in their context, $C$ has an action of $B\mathbb Z$, not of $\mathbb Z$ ! (Otherwise $C/B\mathbb Z$ wouldn't make sense) This amounts essentially to a self natural transformation of the iden …

Equivariant colimit and equivariant functors

Q1: For any $C,D\in Fun(BG,Cat_\infty)$, $Fun(C,D)$ acquires a $G$-action too. Informally, this is described as $F\mapsto gF(g^{-1}-)$, and this is in fact an accurate description if $G$ is a discrete …
