We develop a localisation theory for certain categories, yielding a 3-arrow calculus: Every morphism in the localisation is represented by a diagram of length 3, and two such diagrams represent the same morphism if and only if they can be embedded in a 3-by-3 diagram in an appropriate way. The methods to construct this localisation are similar to the Ore localisation for a 2-arrow calculus; in particular, we do not have to use zigzags of arbitrary length. Applications include the localisation of an arbitrary model category with respect to its weak equivalences as well as the localisation of its full subcategories of cofibrant, fibrant and bifibrant objects, giving the homotopy category in all four cases. In contrast to the approach of Dwyer, Hirschhorn, Kan and Smith, the model category under consideration does not need to admit functorial factorisations. Moreover, our method shows that the derived category of any abelian (or idempotent splitting exact) category admits a 3-arrow calculus if we localise the category of complexes instead of its homotopy category.

We make precise the analogy between Goodwillies calculus of functors in homotopy theory and the differential calculus of smooth manifolds by introducing a higher-categorical framework of which both theories are examples. That framework is an extension to infinity-categories of the tangent categories of Cockett and Cruttwell (introduced originally by Rosicky). A tangent structure on an infinity-category X consists of an endofunctor on X, which plays the role of the tangent bundle construction, together with various natural transformations that mimic structure possessed by the ordinary tangent bundles of smooth manifolds and that satisfy similar conditions. The tangent bundle functor in Goodwillie calculus is Luries tangent bundle for infinity-categories, introduced to generalize the cotangent complexes of Andre, Quillen and Illusie. We show that Luries construction admits the additional structure maps and satisfies the conditions needed to form a tangent infinity-category, which we refer to as the Goodwillie tangent structure on the infinity-category of infinity-categories. Cockett and Cruttwell (and others) have started to develop various aspects of differential geometry in the abstract context of tangent categories, and we begin to apply those ideas to Goodwillie calculus. For example, we show that the role of Euclidean spaces in the calculus of manifolds is played in Goodwillie calculus by the stable infinity-categories. We also show that Goodwillies n-excisive functors are the direct analogues of n-jets of smooth maps between manifolds; to state that connection precisely, we develop a notion of tangent (infinity, 2)-category and show that Goodwillie calculus is best understood in that context.
In this short note we prove that two definitions of (co)ends in $infty$-categories, via twisted arrow $infty$-categories and via $infty$-categories of simplices, are equivalent. We also show that weighted (co)limits, which can be defined as certain (co)ends, can alternatively be described as (co)limits over left and right fibrations, respectively.
The aim of this sequel to arXiv:1812.02935 is to set up the cornerstones of Koszul duality and Koszulity in the context of a large class of operadic categories. In particular, we will prove that operads, in the generalized sense of Batanin-Markl, governing important operad- and/or PROP-like structures such as the classical operads, their variants such as cyclic, modular or wheeled operads, and also diver
Indexed symmetric monoidal categories are an important refinement of bicategories -- this structure underlies several familiar bicategories, including the homotopy bicategory of parametrized spectra, and its equivariant and fiberwise generalizations. In this paper, we extend existing coherence theorems to the setting of indexed symmetric monoidal categories. The most central theorem states that a large family of operations on a bicategory defined from an indexed symmetric monoidal category are all canonically isomorphic. As a part of this theorem, we introduce a rigorous graphical calculus that specifies when two such operations admit a canonical isomorphism.
Adjoint functor theorems give necessary and sufficient conditions for a functor to admit an adjoint. In this paper we prove general adjoint functor theorems for functors between $infty$-categories. One of our main results is an $infty$-categorical generalization of Freyds classical General Adjoint Functor Theorem. As an application of this result, we recover Luries adjoint functor theorems for presentable $infty$-categories. We also discuss the comparison between adjunctions of $infty$-categories and homotopy adjunctions, and give a treatment of Brown representability for $infty$-categories based on Hellers purely categorical formulation of the classical Brown representability theorem.
