Why stable $\infty$-categories?

I already answered some version of this question in this answer, but let me try to expand a bit on the concrete advantages in mathematical practice. For understanding the following you need to take on …

Describing fiber products in stable $\infty$-categories

In fact what you need is that your ∞-category is additive (i.e. that it has direct sums and that the canonical commutative monoid structure on the mapping spaces is group-like). All stable categories …

Difficulties with descent data as homotopy limit of image of Čech nerve

To answer your question I'll need to do a fairly long digression on homotopy limits and colimits. Before I delve deep into the topic let me say that there's more than one way to describe this topic, f …

A "universally non Hypercomplete" $\infty$-topos via Goodwillie calculus?

As discussed in the comments, I'm writing here the proof of the following fact: Let $\mathscr{X}_∞$ be the ∞-topos of sheaves on $\mathrm{FinTop}^{op}$ under the atomic topology (the topology wher …

Gabriel-Ulmer duality for $\infty$-categories

I'm not aware of anyone writing the proof down, but I think we can patch it together as an easy consequence of several facts in Lurie's Higher Topos Theory (henceforth HTT). The statement, as I under …

Definition of $Fun^G( \mathcal C, \mathcal D)$ in the setting of quasicategories

A(n ∞-)category with $G$-action is just a functor $BG\to \mathrm{Cat}_∞$. Then, if $\mathcal{C},\mathcal{D}$ are (∞-)categories with $G$-action, we can get another (∞-)category with $G$ action $\mathr …

$(\infty,2)$-Categorical Analogue of the Local Nature of Equivalences

TL DR: That is not enough. If you let $\psi_i:G(i)\to F(i)$ be the left adjoint of $\phi_i$ you also need the condition that for every $f:i\to j$ the canonical morphism $$\psi_jG(f)\to F(f)\psi_i$$ ad …

What is the symmetric monoidal structure on the $(\infty,1)$-category of spectra?

Let me add a short observation to Dylan's fantastic answer. There is indeed a more concrete construction of the symmetric monoidal structure on the $\infty$-category of spectra: it is the localized Da …

Reference request: The unit of an adjunction of $\infty$-categories in the sense of Riehl-Ve...

Let $\mathcal{C},\mathcal{D}$ two $\infty$-categories and $f:\mathcal{C}\to\mathcal{D}$ and $g:\mathcal{D}\to \mathcal{C}$ two functors. Recall (HTT.5.2.2.7) that a natural transformation $u:1_{\math …

Example of a non-$\infty$-category whose homotopy category is a groupoid

Since the homotopy category depends only on the 2-skeleton of the simplicial set, the easiest thing to do is to take the 2-skeleton of an ∞-groupoid. For example, let $E$ be the nerve of the contracti …

Homotopy function complex for quasi-categories

Yes, you can compute the mapping spaces in ∞-categories by taking the biggest Kan subcomplex of the internal hom. The trick is not to use the Joyal model structure, but instead the model structure on …

What parts of the theory of quasicategories have been simplified since the publication of HTT?

A significant technical improvement has been found by J. Shah in the theory of Kan extensions. Unfortunately I do not know of an exposition that does only the classical case, but reading the proof of …

How to understand pushout/pullback in a stable $\infty$-category

Let me try to give some intuition by examining two important examples. One should start from the definition: the suspension $ΣX$ is the universal choice of $Y$ filling of a square $$\require{AMScd} \ …

Inverting a suspension object in a stable monoidal category

Higher categorical analogue of the equivalence between the category of representations of a ...

I think you made a sign mistake, and asked for a left adjoint to $\Omega^\infty$ since the monoid ring is a left along to the forgetful functor. If so then the answer is yes. $\Sigma^\infty_+:\mathr …
