Convenient categories for internal singular algebraic topology

Directed Algebraic Topology, Categories and Higher Categories

Directed Algebraic Topology is a recent field, deeply linked with Category Theory. A ‘directed space’ has directed homotopies (generally non reversible), directed homology groups (enriched with a preorder) and fundamental n-categories (replacing the fundamental ngroupoids of the classical case). On the other hand, directed homotopy can give geometric models for lax higher categories. Applicatio...

Topology of Singular Algebraic Varieties

I will discuss recent progress by many people in the program of extending natural topological invariants from manifolds to singular spaces. Intersection homology theory and mixed Hodge theory are model examples of such invariants. The past 20 years have seen a series of new invariants, partly inspired by string theory, such as motivic integration and the elliptic genus of a singular variety. Th...

Categorically-algebraic topology and its applications

This paper introduces a new approach to topology, based on category theory and universal algebra, and called categorically-algebraic (catalg) topology. It incorporates the most important settings of lattice-valued topology, including poslat topology of S.~E.~Rodabaugh, $(L,M)$-fuzzy topology of T.~Kubiak and A.~v{S}ostak, and $M$-fuzzy topology on $L$-fuzzy sets of C.~Guido. Moreover, its respe...
