Part of higher category theory that for instance in Algebraic Topology enables us to capture finer homotopic distinctions. As in say Eilenberg-Maclane spaces.

Is there an ∞-categorical interpretation of the Quillen S⁻¹S construction?

The Quillen S⁻¹S construction (not to be confused with the Quillen Q-construction or the Quillen plus-construction), as defined by Grayson in Higher algebraic K-theory: II (page 219), takes as an inpu …

When did the Joyal model structure on simplicial sets originate?

Here is what André Joyal wrote in an email to me: No, I have not discovered the model structure for quasi-categories in the 1980's. I became interested in quasi-categories (without the name) around 1 …

Do we still need models of spectra other than the $\infty$-category $\mathrm{Sp}$?

Given that Sp is better behaved than all other existing models of spectra No, Sp is not better behaved than other models. The reason that it seems to be is because all operations in Sp (e.g., Ω^∞ …

When did the Joyal model structure on simplicial sets originate?

Some of the earliest writings on the Joyal model structure on simplicial sets include Jacob Lurie's account in Higher Topos Theory from 2006, as well as Joyal's own account in The Theory of Quasi-Cate …

The derived category does not satisfy descent - example

Consider the canonical functor $H$ from the homotopy category of homotopy coherent descent data in the ∞-category of coherent sheaves to the category of descent data in the derived category of coheren …

Reference for the Brown representability theorem in the case of locally presentable (∞,1)-ca...

Various generalizations of the Brown representability theorem found in the literature identify additional conditions one can impose on a category $C$ so that functors $\def\op{{\sf op}}\def\Set{{\sf S …

Examples of categories cofibered in groupoids

Categories (co)fibered in groupoids are used to define stacks (stacks in groupoids, to be precise), so any introduction to stacks will do. For stacks on smooth manifolds, see, for example, Ieke Moerd …

Homotopy (co)limits in oo-categories vs model categories

The ∞-categorical limits (respectively colimits) are given by the right (respectively left) adjoint of the constant diagram functor $$C→C^I,$$ where $I$ is the indexing category and $C$ is the ∞-categ …

What are some "good" examples of Kan simplicial manifolds?

Kan simplicial manifolds are in the same relation to differentiable ∞-stacks (i.e., locally fibrant simplicial presheaves on the site of cartesian spaces and smooth maps) as smooth manifolds are to sh …

Weak composition rule for simplicial categories

The most obvious approach is to consider simplicial $\def\Ai{{\sf A}_∞}\Ai$-categories, where $\Ai$ denotes a nonsymmetric operad in simplicial sets that is weakly equivalent to the terminal operad, i …

Geometric realisation of smooth $\infty$-stacks

The case when $M$ is a smooth manifold follows from the smooth Oka principle. See there for an expository account of the argument and references to additional sources. Indeed, the left side of (*) is …

Are $E_k$ monoids higher categories?

This is closely related to the Baez–Dolan stabilization hypothesis. There are numerous proofs of this statement. One line of reasoning is to establish a general 1-category statement first: given a sym …

Quillen pairs / $\infty$-adjunctions / adjunctions of homotopy categories

More precisely, let A,B be two simplicially enriched model categories, is it true that every adjoint pair of ∞-functors between A,B comes from a Quillen pair? Assuming the model categories are combi …

Spectra and localizations of the category of topological spaces

Can we construct the category of spectra (or maybe just its homotopy category) from the category of pointed topological spaces using some kind of localization combined with other categorical construct …

Learning roadmap to 'Differential cohomology in a cohesive $\infty$ topos'

I would say that understanding traditional differential cohomology is a reasonable prerequisite. There are multiple good sources: Ulrich Bunke: Differential cohomology Diferential Cohomology. Categ …
