(Infinity,2)-Categories and the Goodwillie Calculus I

Jacob Lurie
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare several models for the theory of (infinity, 2)-categories, i.e., higher categories in which all k-morphisms are invertible for k > 2.

Order-sorted unification

TL;DR: This paper studies unification for order-sorted equational logic, and gives a categorical treatment of unification that has substantial advantages in this context over the usual treatment of unifiers as endomorphisms of a single free algebra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pairings of categories and spectra

TL;DR: In this paper, the transition from categorical coherence to homotopical coherence has been studied in algebraic K-theory, and a coherence theory of higher homotopy has been proposed.

Directed homotopy theory, I. The fundamental category

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic structure of a directed algebraic topology, a "d-space", is introduced, which is a topological space equipped with a family of "directed paths", closed under some operations.

Type classes for mathematics in type theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of mathematically sound abstract interfaces for different kinds of numbers, succinctly expressed using categorical language and universal algebra constructions, are presented, along with a library of constructive analysis in which any abstraction penalties inhibiting efficient computation are reduced to a minimum.
