Description for Higher Topos Theory (AM-170)
Paperback. Higher category theory is generally regarded as technical and forbidding, but part of it is considerably more tractable: the theory of infinity-categories, higher categories in which all higher morphisms are assumed to be invertible. This title presents the foundations of this theory. Series: Annals of Mathematics Studies. Num Pages: 944 pages, black & white illustrations, figures. BIC Classification: PBCD; PBCH; PBPD; PBW. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 236 x 156 x 48. Weight in Grams: 1312.
Higher category theory is generally regarded as technical and forbidding, but part of it is considerably more tractable: the theory of infinity-categories, higher categories in which all higher morphisms are assumed to be invertible. In Higher Topos Theory, Jacob Lurie presents the foundations of this theory, using the language of weak Kan complexes introduced by Boardman and Vogt, and shows how existing theorems in algebraic topology can be reformulated and generalized in the theory's new language. The result is a powerful theory with applications in many areas of mathematics. The book's first five chapters give an exposition of the theory ... Read more
