Contents

This book has prerequisites: category theory, in particular realization and nerve.

The reading strategy outlined here is approximately the following:

  • start Start with appendix A.2.

  • continue Continue with the overview chapter 2. 1.

  • omit Chapter chapter 2 3. developes the theory of fibrations of simplicial sets.The aim of this are mainly three different concerns:

    • Establishing the \infty-Grothendieck construction: The type of fibrations accomplishing this are left/right fibrations (aka. fibrations in groupoids) and cartesian fibrations (aka. Grothendieck fibrations).

    • Preparing the Joyal model structure: This is a foundational topic; the fibrant objects of this model structure are precisely /infty/infty-categories. The technical vehicle for this are anodyne maps.

    • Provide a foundations for a theory of nn-categories, for any nn\le\infty. For the well definedness of this notion minimal fibrations (a special kind of inner fibrations) are introduced.

  • the Omit rest of the book is concerned with constructions which in most cases are proposed in chapter 2. 3.

  • The rest of the book is concerned with constructions which in most cases are proposed in chapter 2. So concentrate on the following important topics:

    • the Grothendieck construction (already in chapter 2)

    • the Yoneda lemma and presheaves

    • limits and colimits

    • ind-objects

    • adjoint functors

    • \infty-topoi
