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.

What is the group completion of the underlying multiplicative $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-monoid of ...

I recently noticed the following categorical/universal way to describe the passage from $\mathbb{Z}$ to $\mathbb{Q}$: We start with the categroy $\mathsf{Sets}^{\mathrm{actv}}_*$ of pointed sets and …

Conservative cocompletion of categories of geometric shapes for homotopy theory

The recent paper Calin Tataru, Partial orders are the free conservative cocompletion of total orders. arXiv:2404.12924 has shown that the conservative cocompletion of the simplex category $\Delta$ i …

Homotopy groups of categories of elements as higher colimits

Given a diagram of sets $D\colon\mathcal{C}\to\mathsf{Set}$, we have a bijection (Proof) $$\operatorname{colim}(D) \cong \pi_0 (\textstyle\int_\mathcal{C}D).$$ Is there any known application or signi …

Homotopy coherent localisation of a ring spectrum $E$ at a subset of $\pi_0E$

Homotopy coherent Invertibility. Similarly to how $\mathbb{E}_k$-commutative spectra are a homotopy-coherent version of homotopy commutative spectra, encoding commutativity with higher homotopies, we …

The “field of fractions” of the sphere spectrum (localization at $\pi_0(\mathbb{S})\setminus...

Perhaps the most common construction of the rational numbers is the one given by taking the field of fractions $\mathrm{Frac}(\mathbb{Z})\cong\mathbb{Q}$ of the ring $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers. I'm wond …

Valuations and (semi)norms on ring spectra

Valuations and seminorms on rings play a big role in number theory and analytic geometry, with seminorms being heavily used in Berkovich geometry and valuations featuring heavily in adic geometry. Let …

We can view the construction of the real or $p$-adic numbers as the end result of a series of constructions each of which adds more and more structure to the object at hand: First, we start with the …

Powersets of simplicial sets vs. powersets of topological spaces

Motivation. Recently I've been trying to understand how well- or ill-behaved are the many different powerset topologies one can put on the powerset of a topological space, and in particular I'm tryin …

On morphism spaces of $(\infty,2)$-categories failing to be $\infty$-categories

As noted in Tag 01WZ of Kerodon, the morphism spaces of an $(\infty,2)$-category $C$ can fail to be $\infty$-categories, in contrast to the pinched morphism spaces of $C$. This feels very counterintui …
