Directed Algebraic Topology, Categories and Higher Categories
نویسنده
چکیده
Directed Algebraic Topology is a recent field, deeply linked with Category Theory. A ‘directed space’ has directed homotopies (generally non reversible), directed homology groups (enriched with a preorder) and fundamental n-categories (replacing the fundamental ngroupoids of the classical case). On the other hand, directed homotopy can give geometric models for lax higher categories. Applications have been mostly developed in the theory of concurrency. Unexpected links with noncommutative geometry and the modelling of biological systems have emerged.

Categorically-algebraic topology and its applications
This paper introduces a new approach to topology, based on category theory and universal algebra, and called categorically-algebraic (catalg) topology. It incorporates the most important settings of lattice-valued topology, including poslat topology of S.~E.~Rodabaugh, $(L,M)$-fuzzy topology of T.~Kubiak and A.~v{S}ostak, and $M$-fuzzy topology on $L$-fuzzy sets of C.~Guido. Moreover, its respe...
متن کاملON ALGEBRAIC AND COALGEBRAIC CATEGORIES OF VARIETY-BASED TOPOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
Motivated by the recent study on categorical properties of latticevalued topology, the paper considers a generalization of the notion of topological system introduced by S. Vickers, providing an algebraic and a coalgebraic category of the new structures. As a result, the nature of the category TopSys of S. Vickers gets clari ed, and a metatheorem is stated, claiming that (latticevalu...
متن کاملConvergence and quantale-enriched categories
Generalising Nachbin's theory of ``topology and order'', in this paper we continue the study of quantale-enriched categories equipped with a compact Hausdorff topology. We compare these $V$-categorical compact Hausdorff spaces with ultrafilter-quantale-enriched categories, and show that the presence of a compact Hausdorff topology guarantees Cauchy completeness and (suitably defined) ...

متن کاملThe axioms for n-angulated categories
Triangulated categories were introduced independently in algebraic geometry by Verdier [7, 8], based on ideas of Grothendieck, and in algebraic topology by Puppe [6]. These constructions have since played a crucial role in representation theory, algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, algebraic topology and other areas of mathematics (and even theoretical physics). Recently, Geiss, Keller and ...
