The notations $Hom$ and $Ext$ first appear in their paper| |1943| |[[Norman Steenrod]]| |[[homology with local coefficients]]| |1943| |[[Israel Gelfand]]--[[Mark Naimark]]| |[[Gelfand-Naimark theorem]] (sometimes called Gelfand isomorphism theorem): The category $Haus$ of locally compact [[Hausdorff space]]s with continuous proper maps as morphisms is equivalent to the category $C^* Alg$ of commutative $C^*$-algebras with proper $*$-homomorphisms as morphisms| |1944| |[[Garrett Birkhoff]]--[[Øystein Ore]]| |[[Galois connection]]s generalizing the Galois correspondence: a pair of [[adjoint functor]]s between two [[categories]] that arise from [[partially ordered sets]] (in modern formulation)| |1944| |[[Samuel Eilenberg]]| |``Modern'' definition of [[singular homology]] and singular cohomology| |1945| |Beno Eckmann| |Defines the [[cohomology ring]] building on [[Heinz Hopf]]'s work| |1945| |[[Saunders Mac Lane]]--[[Samuel Eilenberg]]| |start of category theory: axioms for [[categories]], [[functors]] and [[natural transformations]]| |1945| |[[Norman Steenrod]]--[[Samuel Eilenberg]]| |[[Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms]] for homology and cohomology| |1945| |[[Jean Leray]]| |Starts [[sheaf theory]]: A [[sheaf]] on a [[topological space]] $X$ is a [[functor]] reminding one of a function defined locally on $X$ and taking values in [[set]]s, abelian [[group]]s, commutative [[ring]]s, [[module]]s or generally in any [[category]] $C$. In fact [[Alexander Grothendieck]] later made a [[dictionary between sheaves and functions]]. Another interpretation of sheaves is as continuously [[variable set]]s (a generalization of [[abstract set]]s). Its purpose is to provide a unified approach to connect local and global properties of [[topological space]]s and to classify the obstructions for passing from local objects to global objects on a topological space by pasting together the local pieces. The $C$-valued sheaves on a topological space and their homomorphisms form a category| |1945| |[[Jean Leray]]| |[[sheaf cohomology]]| |1946| |[[Jean Leray]]| |invents [[spectral sequence]]s as a method for iteratively approximating cohomology groups by previous approximate cohomology groups. In the limiting case it gives the sought [[cohomology group]]s. The [[SpecSeq|category of spectral sequences]] is an [[abelian category]]| |1948| |Cartan seminar (query 4 down)| |writes up [[sheaf theory]] for the first time| |1948| |A. L. Blakers| |[[crossed complexes]] (called group systems by Blakers), after a suggestion of [[Samuel Eilenberg]]: A nonabelian generalizations of [[chain complexes]] of abelian groups which are equivalent to [[strict ∞-groupoids]]. They form a category $Crs$ that has many satisfactory properties such as a [[monoidal category|monoidal structure]].| |1949| |[[John Henry Whitehead]]| |[[crossed module]]s| |1949| |[[André Weil]]| |formulates the [[Weil conjectures]] on remarkable relations between the cohomological structure of algebraic varieties over $\mathbf{C}$ and the diophantine structure of algebraic varieties over finite fields| |1950| |[[Henri Cartan]]| |in the book \emph{Sheaf Theory} from the Cartan seminar he defines: [[sheaf space]] (\'e{}tal\'e{} space), [[support]] of sheaves axiomatically, [[sheaf cohomology]] with support in an axiomatic form and more| |1950| |[[John Henry Whitehead]]| |outlines [[algebraic homotopy]] program for describing, understanding and calculating [[homotopy type]]s of spaces and [[homotopy]] classes of mappings| |1950| |[[Samuel Eilenberg]]--Joe Zilber| |[[simplicial set]]s as a purely algebraic model of well behaved topological spaces. A [[simplicial set]] can also be seen as a [[presheaf]] on the [[simplex category]]. A category is a [[simplicial set]] such that the [[Segal map]]s are isomorphisms| |1951| |[[Henri Cartan]]| |modern definition of [[sheaf theory]]| |1951| |[[M M Postnikov]]| |publishes the results of his thesis: [[Postnikov system]]| |1952| |[[William Massey]]| |invents [[exact couple]]s for calculating spectral sequences| |1953| |[[Jean-Pierre Serre]]| |[[Serre C-theory]] and [[Serre subcategory|Serre subcategories]]| |1955| |[[Jean-Pierre Serre]]| |shows there is a one-to-one correspondence between algebraic vector bundles over a noetherian affine variety and finitely generated projective modules over its coordinate ring ([[Serre-Swan theorem]])| |1955| |[[Jean-Pierre Serre]]| |[[coherent sheaf cohomology]] in algebraic geometry| |1955| |Michel Lazard| |Introduces ``analyseurs'', a version of the future operads of Peter May| |1956| |[[Jean-Pierre Serre]]| |[[GAGA correspondence]]| |1956| |[[Henri Cartan]]--[[Samuel Eilenberg]]| |influential book: \emph{Homological Algebra}, summarizing the state of the art in its topic at that time. The notation $Tor_n$ and $Ext^n$, as well as the concepts of [[projective module]], [[projective resolution|projective]] and [[injective resolution|injective]] resolution of a module, [[derived functor]] and [[hyperhomology]] appear in this book for the first time| |1956| |[[Daniel Kan]]| |[[simplicial homotopy theory]] also called categorical homotopy theory: a homotopy theory completely internal to the [[SimpSet|category of simplicial sets]]| |1957| |[[Charles Ehresmann]]--[[Jean Bénabou]]| |[[pointless topology]] building on [[Marshall Stone]]'s work| |1957| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |[[abelian category|abelian categories]] in homological algebra that combine exactness and linearity| |1957| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |influential [[Tohoku]] paper rewrites [[homological algebra]]; proving [[Grothendieck duality]] (Serre duality for possibly singular algebraic varieties). He also showed that the conceptual basis for homological algebra over a ring also holds for linear objects varying as sheaves over a space| |1957| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |the [[Grothendieck relative point of view]], [[S-scheme]]s| |1957| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |[[Grothendieck-Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch theorem]] for smooth schemes| |1957| |[[Daniel Kan]]| |[[Kan complexes]]: [[simplicial sets]] (in which every horn has a filler) that are [[geometric model of higher categories|geometric models]] of [[∞-groupoids]]. Kan complexes are also the fibrant (and cofibrant) objects of [[model structure on simplicial sets|model categories of simplicial sets]] for which the fibrations are [[Kan fibration]]s.| |1958| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |starts new foundation of [[algebraic geometry]] by generalizing varieties and other spaces in algebraic geometry to [[schemes]] which have the structure of a category with open subsets as objects and restrictions as morphisms. Schemes form a category that is a [[Grothendieck topos]], and to a scheme and even a stack one may associate a Zariski topos, an \'e{}tale topos, a fppf topos, a fpqc topos, a Nisnevich topos, a flat topos, \ldots{} depending on the topology imposed on the scheme. The whole of algebraic geometry was categorized with time| |1958| |[[Roger Godement]]| |[[monad]]s in category theory (which he called standard constructions). Monads generalize classical notions from [[universal algebra]] and can in this sense be thought of as an [[algebraic theory]] over a category: the theory of the category of $T$-algebras. An algebra for a monad subsumes and generalizes the notion of a model for an algebraic theory| |1958| |[[Daniel Kan]]| |[[adjoint functors]]| |1958| |[[Daniel Kan]]| |[[limits]] in category theory| |1958| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |Introduces [[pseudofunctor]]s and [[descent]] theory in FGA but publish them later with Pierre Gabriel in SGA1 1961 modernized into [[fibred categories]].| |1959| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |Introduces [[formal geometry|formal algebraic geometry]] and [[formal scheme]]s (partly with Pierre Cartier) in a seminar Bourbaki and publish it in FGA.| |1959| |Bernard Dwork| |proves the rationality part of the [[Weil conjectures]] (the first conjecture)| |1960| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |[[fiber functor]]s| |1960| |[[Daniel Kan]]| |[[Kan extension]]s| |1960| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |[[representable functors]]| |1960| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |categorizes Galois theory ([[Grothendieck Galois theory]])| |1960| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |[[descent]] theory: an idea extending the notion of [[quotient space|gluing]] in topology to [[schemes]] to get around the brute equivalence relations. It also generalizes [[localization]] in topology| |1960| |[[Pierre Gabriel]]| |Reconstruction of a scheme from the category of [[quasicoherent sheaf|quasicoherent sheaves]] over it (Gabriel--Rosenberg theorem in the separated quasicompact case and a precursor of [[noncommutative algebraic geometry]]) and abelian localization.| |1961| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |[[local cohomology]]. Introduced at a seminar in 1961 but the notes are published in 1967| |1961| |[[Jim Stasheff]]| |[[associahedron|associahedra]] later used in the definition of [[weak n-category|weak n-categories]]| |1961| |[[Richard Swan]]| |Shows there is a one-to-one correspondence between topological vector bundles over a compact Hausdorff space $X$ and finitely generated projective modules over the ring $C(X)$ of continuous functions on $X$ ([[Serre-Swan theorem]])| |1963| |[[Frank Adams]]--[[Saunders Mac Lane]]| |[[PROP]] categories and [[PACT]] categories for higher homotopies. PROPs are categories for describing families of operations with any number of inputs and outputs. [[operad|Operads]] are special PROPs with operations with only one output| |1963| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |[[etale topology]], a special Grothendieck topology on schemes| |1963| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |[[etale cohomology]]| |1963| |[[Alexander Grothendieck]]| |[[Grothendieck toposes]], which are categories which are like universes (generalized spaces) of sets in which one can do mathematics| |1963| |[[William Lawvere]]| |[[algebraic theory|algebraic theories]] and [[algebraic category|algebraic categories]]| |1963| |[[William Lawvere]]| |Founds [[categorical logic]], discovers [[internal logic]]s of categories and recognizes their importance and introduces [[Lawvere theory|Lawvere theories]]. Essentially categorical logic is a lift of different logics to being internal logics of categories. Each kind of category with extra structure ([[doctrine]]) corresponds to a system of logic with its own inference rules. A Lawvere theory is an [[algebraic theory]] as a category with finite products and possessing a ``generic algebra'' (such as a generic group). The structures described by a Lawvere theory are models of the Lawvere theory| |1963| |[[Jean-Louis Verdier]]| |after the advice of Grothendieck, defined [[triangulated category|triangulated categories]] and [[triangulated functor]]s including the main examples: [[derived category|derived categories]]. Studied [[derived functor]]s in the triangualted setup| |1963| |[[Jim Stasheff]]| |$A_\infty$-[[A-infinity-algebra|algebras]]: [[dg-algebra]] analogs of [[topological monoid]]s associative up to homotopy appearing in topology (i.e. [[H-space]]s)| |1963| |[[Jean Giraud]]| |[[Grothendieck topos|Giraud characterization theorem]] characterizing Grothendieck toposes as categories of sheaves over a small site| |1963| |[[Charles Ehresmann]]| |[[internal category]] theory: internalization of categories in a category $V$ with pullbacks replacing the category $Set$ (same for classes instead of sets) by $V$ in the definition of a category. Internalization is a way to rise the [[higher category theory|categorical dimension]]| |1963| |[[Charles Ehresmann]]| |[[multiple category|multiple categories]] and [[multiple functor|multiple functors]]| |1963| |[[Saunders Mac Lane]]| |[[monoidal categories]] also called tensor categories: $2$-categories with one object made by a [[delooping|relabelling trick]] into categories with a [[tensor product]] of objects that is secretly the composition of morphisms in the $2$-category. There are several objects in a monoidal category since the relabelling trick makes $2$-morphisms of the $2$-category into morphisms, morphisms of the $2$-category into objects and forgets about the single object. In general a higher relabelling trick works for $n$-[[n-category|categories]] with one object to make general monoidal categories.

According to Grothendieck's memoirs this idea was born in 1958. According to Grothendieck's philosophy there should be a universal cohomology functor attaching a [[pure motive]] $h(X)$ to each smooth projective variety $X$. When $X$ is not smooth or projective, $h(X)$ must be replaced by a more general [[mixed motive]] which has a weight filtration whose quotients are pure motives. The [[Mot|category of motives]] (the categorical framework for the universal cohomology theory) may be used as an abstract substitute for singular cohomology (and rational cohomology) to compare, relate and unite ``motivated'' properties and parallel phenomena of the various cohomology theories and to detect topological structure of algebraic varieties. The categories of pure motives and of mixed motives are abelian tensor categories and the category of pure motives is also a [[Tannakian category]]. Categories of motives are made by replacing the category of varieties by a category with the same objects but whose morphisms are [[correspondence]]s, modulo a suitable equivalence relation. Different [[equivalence relation|equivalences]] give different theories. [[rational equivalence|Rational equivalence]] gives the category of [[Chow motive]]s with [[Chow group]]s as morphisms which are in some sense universal. Every geometric cohomology theory is a functor on the category of motives. Each induced functor $\rho$ from motives modulo numerical equivalence to graded $\mathbf{Q}$-vector spaces is called a [[realization]] of the category of motives, the inverse functors are called [[improvement]]s. Mixed motives explain phenomena in as diverse areas as: Hodge theory, algebraic $K$-theory, polylogarithms, regulator maps, automorphic forms, $L$-functions, $l$-adic representations, trigonometric sums, homotopy of algebraic varieties, algebraic cycles, and moduli spaces and thus has the potential of enriching each area and of unifying them all| |1965| |Edgar Brown| |abstract [[homotopy category|homotopy categories]]: a proper framework for the study of the homotopy theory of [[CW complex]]es| |1965| |[[Max Kelly]]| |[[differential graded category|dg-categories]]| |1965| |[[Max Kelly]]--[[Samuel Eilenberg]]| |[[enriched category theory]]: Categories $C$ enriched over a category $V$ are categories with [[hom-object|Hom-sets]] $Hom_C$ not just a set or class but with the structure of objects in the category $V$.
