Contents
This lecture series aims art introducing higher category theory in an axiomatic way. Instead of
building the theory of higher category theory from scratch, we introduced in the previous lecture
series higher category theory formally (in particular very rigorously),with the aim of having access
to its main features as quickly as possible: the Yoneda embedding, the straightening/unstraightening
correspondence relating cocartesian fibrations with functors taking values in the infinity-category
of infinity-categories,the theory of Kan extensions. We will now explore its consequences: the
theory of presentable categories, topoi, stable categories, basics on K-theory. Our axiomatic
approach will not only provide tools to comprehend the important aspect of higher categories as they
are used in practice (derived algebraic geometry, homotopical algebra...) but also in more general
contexts (e.g. higher category theory internally in any higher topos) and in logic (dependent type
theory)).
