Higher category theory is generally regarded as technical and forbidding, but part of it is considerably more tractable: the theory of infinitycategories, 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 of infinitycategories that emphasizes their role as a generalization of ordinary categories. Many of the fundamental ideas from classical category theory are generalized to the infinitycategorical setting, such as limits and colimits, adjoint functors, indobjects and proobjects, locally accessible and presentable categories, Grothendieck fibrations, presheaves, and Yoneda's lemma. A sixth chapter presents an infinitycategorical version of the theory of Grothendieck topoi, introducing the notion of an infinitytopos, an infinitycategory that resembles the infinitycategory of topological spaces in the sense that it satisfies certain axioms that codify some of the basic principles of algebraic topology. A seventh and final chapter presents applications that illustrate connections between the theory of higher topoi and ideas from classical topology.
