Riassunto

This user-friendly book introduces modern homotopy theory through the lens of higher categories after Joyal and Lurie. Starting from scratch it guides graduate students and researchers through the powerful tools that the theory provides for applications in such areas as algebraic geometry, representation theory, algebra and logic.
