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.

A Dold-Thom style construction of a cohomology class from a sphere bundle

Re-reading my comment to the question https://mathoverflow.net/q/195912/41291 I suddenly realized that I do not understand something crucial about it. For the purposes of that crucial thing let me ref …

Is this a stack?

A continuous map $f:X\to Y$ and a vector bundle $E\to X$ seem to give rise to a presheaf of groupoids on $Y$ along the following lines. For an open $U\subseteq Y$, each section of $f$ over $U$ (i. e. …

Conceptual and practical reasons and consequences of inverting weak equivalences

Although dealing with this in one or other form for many years, to my shame this question only struck me now. One of the most radical differences between categories of "algebraic" and "topological" ki …

"Naïve"cobordism?

The naive view of (say, complex) cobordism of a space $X$ is that it should be the group generated by continuous families of closed manifolds parametrized by $X$. Acting even more naively, one may try …

Is there an analog of compactified moduli spaces(/stacks) for smooth manifolds?

This question has been inspired by an answer to the question Reference request: Topology on the space of smooth compact submanifolds; I've asked it in a comment to that answer but then decided to make …

Homotopy type of some lattices with top and bottom removed

The only reaction to this question on math.SE was 21 views in 4 days, so I decided to repost it here. I am not changing anything. There was an interesting question on MO which OP removed by some reas …

"Economic" Eilenberg-MacLane topological abelian groups

This might be regarded as a sequel to my previous "Economic" CW-structure for Eilenberg-MacLane spaces? However the content seems to be quite different. I believe it is easy to prove that for any top …

Can Homotopy Type Theory or algebraic geometry deal with homotopy fibers in terms of families?

((In conclusion) It was hard to choose which answer to accept. I decided for the one which addressed most of the various aspects of the question. ) (Later addon) I now decided to put a bounty on t …

The cofibration/fibration $\leftrightarrow$ epi/mono confusion

A recent question Why do we need model categories? reminded me of this long-standing confusion of mine -- I mentioned it in an answer there, and then decided to ask a separate question about it. I eve …

Does the (1-)topos structure on simplicial sets have any homotopy-theoretic significance?

To give an example of a peculiar feature of simplicial sets that I cannot remember encountering anywhere in the context of homotopy theory: every simplicial set $X$ possesses partial map classifier $X …

"Economic" CW-structure for Eilenberg-MacLane spaces?

The only really "economic" cell structures for $K(\pi,n)$'s that I know is the one with a single cell in each dimension for $K(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z,1)$ and the one with a single cell in each even dime …

Is there a simple algebraic setup to accomodate fibres and cofibres at the same time?

If I understand it correctly, there are two mutually dual "leading principles" in homotopy theory: never perform quotients, add structure instead; never require subobjects, take fibres instead. Al …

Let $X$ be a scheme over, say, a field $k$. Let us denote $\mathrm{Spec}(k[\varepsilon])$ by $T$ and its (unique) $k$-point by $0\in T$. Call the first order infinitesimal cone $C_{T,0}(X)$ over $X$ t …

There is a homomorphism from the group of (isomorphism classes of) self-equivalences of a triangulated category to the automorphism group of its Grothendieck group. Is this homomorphism surjective? If …
