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 precise relationship between pyknoticity and cohesiveness?

Pyknotic and condensed sets have been introduced recently as a convenient framework for working with topological rings/algebras/groups/modules/etc. Recently there has been much (justified) excitement …

Is the $\infty$-category of spectra “convenient”?

A 1991 paper of Lewis, titled “Is there a convenient category of spectra?” proves that there is no category $\mathrm{Sp}$ satisfying the following desiderata$^1$: There is a symmetric monoidal smash …

How should one approach reading Higher Algebra by Lurie?

A question posed at the nForum asked for a roadmap to learn Lurie's Higher Topos Theory, including helpful sources other than HTT itself (to read along it) and information about which parts of HTT sho …

How far can Spectral Algebraic Geometry be developed over $\mathbb{E}_2$-rings (instead of $...

Jacob Lurie has extensively developed derived algebraic geometry in the setting of $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-ring spectra [SAG]. The resulting theory of Spectral Algebraic Geometry (SAG) gives (in particula …

Tensor products of $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-spaces

In the $\infty$-world, connective spectra play the role of abelian groups, while $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-spaces play that of commutative monoids. This may be rephrased by saying that we may identify the $ …

What is the free symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category on one object?

It is well-known that the free symmetric monoidal category on one object is the category $\mathbb{F}$ of finite sets and bijections. This is supposed to be the categorification of the monoid of natura …
