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.

For which $n$ does there exist a closed manifold of (chromatic) type $n$?
After discussing this with Tim we came up with the following answer:
The first steifel whiteny class $\omega_1$ of $M$ can be written as the following composition:
$$M \to BO(n) \to BO \to BAut(\mathb …

An adjunction between monads on $\mathcal{C}$ and presentable categories under $\mathcal{C}$
Fix a regular cardinal $\kappa$ and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a $\kappa$-presentable $\infty$-category (comments about the 1-categorical case are welcome as well!).
I'm looking for a reference for the fol …

Compact objects in the $\infty$-category presented by a simplicial model category
Let $\mathsf{M}$ be a simplicial model category presenting an $\infty$-category $\mathcal{M}$. I'm interested in a general statement relating compact objects in $\mathcal{M}$ (in the $\infty$-categori …

A compendium of weak factorization systems on $sSet$
A (weak) factorization system on a category $\mathcal{C}$ consists of a pair of classes of morphisms in the category $(L,R)$ satisfying
Every morphism $f:x \to y \in \mathcal{C}$ can be factored (n …

Is there a systematic way to "bound" the $d_n$'s of ASS's by "pairing" them with elements in...
All details in the question are for the case $p=2$ though I expect the answer shouldn't be that different for odd primes.
Adams showed (i think it was him) the following statement:
The element …

The (fiber of the) cofiber of the fiber of a map of spaces
Consider a fiber sequence of spaces
$$F \overset{i}{\to} E \to B$$
The cofiber $C(i)$ of the inclusion of the fiber comes with a canonical map $C(i) \to B$. Its possible to show (using some point se …

Defining hom spaces in the derived category as limits of hom spaces in the homotopy category
Let $C$ be an abelian category and $K(C)$ the homotopy category of complexes in $C$. I've seen the following claimed in several sources (without proof):
A. The following isomorphisms hold:
$$\li …

Spelling out explicitly the data of a two step filtration in terms of pieces and gluing data
Let $V$ be an object of some stable infinity category (nothing is lost by taking spectra but I see no reason to state the question in this way as it is irrelevant) and suppose we have a two step filtr …

A map of spaces implementing the Pontryagin Thom collapse map? (collapse maps in families)
Let $M$ be an $n$ dimensional smooth manifold and let $j: M \to \mathbb{R}^{m}$ be an embedding. Associated to this embedding we can form the "collapse map" which is a pointed map from a sphere to the …

Categorical formalism for higher non-abelian group cohomology / obstruction theory for gerbes?
I'm sure this is very well known but I haven't found any references for this searching the internet so hence the question:
What's the neat abstract framework for obstruction theory for non-abelian …

A "non-abelian excision" statement for mapping out of a space
Let $U \subset A \subset X$ be spaces (in the sense of homotopy theory).
For every pointed space $Y$ restriction maps induce the following canonical map between mapping spaces:
$$fiber(Map(X,Y) \to …
