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.

How does homotopy theory simplify topology but allow for complexity in higher category theory?

I think one way to look at this is to say that, from a certain point of view, topological spaces are far more complicated than categories and homotopy types are somewhere in the middle. The only wrink …

Are monomorphisms in an $\infty$-topos preserved by $0$-truncation?

Let $\mathfrak{X}$ be an $\infty$-topos and let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a morphism of $\mathfrak{X}$. We say that $f$ is a monomorphism if it is $(-1)$-truncated which means that for every $Z\in\mathfrak{ …

Simplicial right Kan extensions and Cartesian transformations

I will write the concrete question first, in case the answer is clear independently of the context: Question: Given an $\infty$-topos $\mathfrak{X}$ and a diagram $F\colon\Delta^1\times\Delta_+^{op}\ …

The first two $k$-invariants of $\mathrm{pic}(KU)$ and $\mathrm{pic}(KO)$

Essentially building on Chris Schommer-Pries' comment above, this has been worked out by Kiran Luecke, Jack Morava and myself in Section 4.2 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.10112.

Monomorphisms of diagrams in an $\infty$-category

Let $f,g\colon K\to \mathcal{C}$ be diagrams in a nice $\infty$-category $\mathcal{C}$. I have two general questions: If I have a natural transformation $\eta\colon f\Rightarrow g$ which is a monomor …

Quasicategorical Construction of a Cosimplicial Map of Rognes

This question has been answered by the PhD thesis of Aras Ergus. See Corollary 3.2.8 here: https://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/295824/files/EPFL_TH9067.pdf. The basic idea is to recognize that the como …

The relation between the motivic Galois group and the motivic Steenrod algebra

There is a point of view on the Steenrod algebra that goes something like the following: the functor $-\otimes H\mathbb{F}_p\colon Mod_{\mathbb{S}}\to Mod_{H\mathbb{F}_p}$ corresponds to pulling back …

Splitting of $BGL_1(KR)$

There are infinite loop space splittings $BGL_1(KO)\simeq BGL_1(KO)[0,2]\times Z$ and $BGL_1(KU)\simeq BGL_1(KU)[0,3]\times Z'$ where $Z$ and $Z'$ are 2 and 3 connected, respectively (i.e. they have t …

Why does $Mf$ always support an $Mf$-orientation?

I just want to add another answer to this, which is Corollary 4.16 of arXiv:1810:00734. This result of course uses Omar and Tobias' in an essential way, so is not somehow independent, but what it does …

(Co)homology of a directed space with coefficients in a commutative monoid

This is essentially a reference request, or a request for an explanation of why this cannot be done in a useful or interesting way (i.e. an explanation of why no such reference exists!). If I have a d …

Lifting Strict Comonoids and Comodules to Quasicategories

The answer to this question is yes, and it's the main result of this paper. One thing to point out is that, even in the case that the tensor product of $\mathcal{M}$ preserves fibrant objects (so tha …

Essential maps of spectra which are null when localized at any prime

There are maps of spaces which are not null-homotopic, but when localized at any prime become null. I don't know explicit constructions of any, but an example is given in Section 6 of Chapter 25 of th …

What homotopy classes can attaching an $E_n$-cell kill?

Let $A$ be a connected $E_{n+1}$-ring spectrum and let $\alpha\in\pi_k(A)$. I am having trouble showing that attaching an $E_n$-cell along $\alpha$ will necessarily not kill an element $\beta\in\pi_k( …
